Monday morning and I'm here at the studio. Am I painting yet, no, because I also pay bills here and I had to call the bank after an update shut me out of a program. Time WASTED! I only popped in here once last week as I watched kiddos a bit and just didn't want to be here. I'm fighting getting back to oils lately only wanting to draw. Kind of in a weird place right now and I'm sure it's just the weather and lots of time on my hands. I did have my book club over last Wednesday evening and this Wednesday is my "Birthday" club girls for dinner. I put a pork butt in the crockpot at 5 am this morning and will cook it for about 8-10 hours. Tonight we will eat it like pulled pork over mashed cauliflower and Wednesday I will make pozole for the girls.
Yes, I am back on the low carb wagon and it is going quite well actually. I went to my doctor a little over a month ago, my blood pressure was great but later, after the blood tests came back he is concerned I am prediabetic. So he wanted me to come back in for an A1C test. I am choosing NOT to do that but to jump in with both feet with the low carb thing and so far I have lost 10 pounds. It's really not been too hard as I was already doing it, mostly, but back slid. I was enjoying too much bean dip and Fritos! Now I am spending my quality time with food really being careful, eating tons of greens, veggies and protein. I feel really strong and confident that this is my path for the rest of my life. I don't need Fritos but an occasional one is not going to kill me. I've been going to gatherings and NOT eating the bad stuff and bringing veggie platters that I can stuff my face on. I am going to do this. As I said before my doctor prescribed Contrave, but it sits at the pharmacy waiting on the insurance/Medicare to approve. I think I'm doing just fine on my own and will continue WITHOUT it! They're adding more warnings on the shots that scare me too death and are exactly why I will not be doing them. I will continue my food ways, clean eating and sketching!
I've been adding stories with these on Facebook and they seem to be a hit and several people want me to write about them, in book form. I kind of already do here on my blog.
Momma and Momma's hands...
Life Drawing class again...One of the best I've ever done. Of course the sketchbook I used was one the kiddos have drawn on. Makes it more beautiful, in my opinion.
