Things In The Making…

Life has certainly been busy lately.  A lot going on.  Here are a few things I’m working on right now…

My friend, Bekah, sells Lia Sophia jewelry.  She is offering her customers a gift wrap option for Mother’s Day.  She’s asked me to be the creative mind behind the wrapping, so I’m working on some unique wrapping ideas for the boxes the jewelry comes in.  If you have a great gift wrapping technique, idea, or picture, please send it my way.

I’m also working on creating covers for notebooks.  I’ve never tried this before.  I’ve made actual fabric covered journals, but I’m going to now try making fabric covers for journals.  I’m seeing them everywhere and love them (they look much simpler to make, so I could actually sell them at a much cheaper price).

I’m also starting a new blog about my new diet venture.  Yes, another one.  This one is going to work though, because I’m determined, have a weekly check in, and am told exactly what to eat, when to eat, how much to eat, etc…, along with exercise (what to do and when to do it).  It’s a fail-proof diet.  If I stick with it, I will see results.  If I don’t, I have only myself to blame.  This new diet (um…way of life) is called Total Health & Fitness.  This new blog will show pictures, weight and measurement stats, some journaling, and basically take you on a journey of my progress.  It’s still a work in progress and I’m still on week 1 of this new diet plan.  I’ll keep you posted.

For clarification…I still think the P90X plan ROCKS!  I just finished week 7 and was surprised that I didn’t see a huge difference in me.  I felt stronger and noticed a difference when lifting things, so I know it was working.  So…it had to be my eating.  Yes, I was eating “clean”, so how could that cause me to slow the weight loss process down.  It could only be one thing…portion control, no scheduled eating (just eating when I had time), eating late, not sleeping enough…(ok, so that was more than one).  This new plan has it all written out for me, so there’s no room for error.

Due to being on a new diet plan that tells me what to eat, I will be taking a break from making “clean” meals from the Eat-Clean Diet.  I will definitely go back to making them when I have the “go-ahead” to do so, but I’m not sure how long that will be.  There’s plenty of recipes already posted.  Check them out.

There’s a few other things going on right now in life, but nothing exciting enough to share, so I’ll end for now.  Time to work out.
