To Sell or Not to Sell (w/pics)

I’m four lbs. away from losing 20 lbs. since February.  I would love to meet that goal this week.  As of May 8, 2011, I will have been focusing on this journey for three months exactly.  Three months to lose 20 lbs. isn’t too bad.  I would love to have lost 30 pounds by the end of this month.  People keep telling me that they are seeing a difference.  My boss stopped in her tracks on her way past my cubicle today to tell me how much slimmer my face is looking.  It’s good to know that the results are beginning to show.  Sometimes I can’t really tell where the weight is coming off because for the most part my clothes while are getting looser have been about the same for a few weeks now.  Since I see me everyday, it can be hard to see where the results are showing.  Meh… at least it’s working, and for the most part I’m having fun with the process so far.  That is thanks to Cross Fit.

I actually skipped Cross Fit on Monday due to the fact that my muscles were still feeling the 4 hour hike from the day before.  I figured that the 4 hour hike was sufficient enough to take the place of my Monday workout.  I’ll be back to the gym tonight though and on track again from there.

I don’t really have all that much to write about today.  I sent my mom her Mother’s Day gift and card on Monday, so I think that she will be receiving it today.  I can’t wait to see what she thinks of it.  Here’s some pictures of the the gift and card that I made for her:

I’m going to make another picture (I don’t even know if that’s what I would call it) hopefully this weekend.  It was really easy to make, but I don’t want to give away my secret in case I decide to sell them.  LOL  I keep hearing from people that I should sell my cards, and to be honest, as good as that picture turned out, I think I could easily sell similar projects.  I’m thinking it’s time to give it a shot and see if I can sell some of these projects.  What do you think?  Would you buy custom made cards or a picture like the one above?

#16 pounds in 3 months is really something! You’ve obviously been very dedicated to making this happen, and there’s your proof! Good for you! I wish I could use your determination and lose these #10 pounds I’ve been needing to lose for the last five years…you’re a great example to follow.

RYN: I’ve looked into that before, but if I’m going to spend the time and money on any kind of schooling I want it to be for something I REALLY wanna do, ya know? Not just something convenient.

RYN: Thanks 🙂 I’m hoping that getting this good news together like this is a good sign and will give me good luck with the interview *crosses fingers* My prediction is they’ll give me **** for it being a ‘crap job’ cause I won’t be making 6 figures a year lol Something along those lines.

Thank you for those prayers…and Denise isn’t as sore this afternoon. Now I have to slow her down so she doesn’t make it worse…*smiles*
