7 & 22 DONE These were tough


My 50 before 50 seems to be a 50 before 55. I need to change several.  I am thankful for finally finishing #7. That was the hardest.  Quit participating in work functions, not just for the weight issue but for the cost.  Eating half of what I would normally eat, especially when ordering out.  I don't always do my water aerobics class 3x per week, but I keep trying.  I finally got copies of all my grandmother's recipes and arranged them in a photobook, in an order that I am happy with. I tried to use the most vintage looking backgrounds. #50 is now to find a new place to live.  I chose to change the one that said to hang photos, as I will just have to take them down and box them in the next couple months.  I am still weeding out and trying to sell some furniture. (If you live in the Columbus, I have it listed on Craigslist and several online sites on Facebook) I will be selling more including knickknacks. Message me below if you need anything..
