intensely sore but happy

yep I bought it.. Got tired of complaining about the doughnut around my waist and decided I needed to do something extreme!

So I got the p90x and I am dedicated to follow through. It's a 90 days intense work out plus diet.
I am on day 3 now and I feel great. Super sore but great. The hardest part is actually finding time to cook all this food. I have been know as the person who skips breakfast (for 20 more minutes of snooze) and not always eating lunch.. and then eating WAY too much WAY too late in the evening.. Bad routines...

So now I have been cooking! eggwhite omelet for breakfast or protein shake... salads and soups for lunch.... and here's my 3 last dinners!Day 1 dinner
roasted red bell pepper soup
salmon with lemon dill sauce
wild rice and asparagus....


Day 2 dinner
chicken ( I was supposed to eat turkey but I forgot to buy it..) and I used the same lemon dill sauce tonight cause they diet thingie said gravy but I don't like gravy...

Green beans and butternut squash soup..


Tonight's dinner was Halibut with some pesto sauce, zucchini and wild-rice.. ha ha and I didn't see the little kitty lurking around on the table in the background.. Sneaky kitty trying to steal mom's halibut!



and look at these finger candies :o) I still have to solder bands to them and then I get to pick stones for them :o) I have a couple of options which is nice.. I was hoping to have them finished soon but it might not be until after next week. I will be traveling all next week and David will be back this weekend and I want to spend time with my sweetie before he goes back for another week :o( .. But maybe if he falls asleep I can sneak back in the studio.....


But right now it is past my bed time... I know I will be tired tomorrow.. and I have to get up early to make a steak/arugula salad for lunch...

night!

finally I was able to sneak back

in the studio!! Doing the diet and all the exercise for p90x is stealing a lot of time from me. But Today I was able to work a bit... I have a lot of goodies in the works for you.


I really like the prong settings I have been using and how they add height to designs as well as showing of the gemstones more than when they are flushset in a little silver ball.



Yummy yummy :o) I am so excited about these ladies. The stones will range between 6 and 8 mm so we are talking WAY smaller than what I usually make. But I like that. You need big rings for big days and small rings for small days...


Haven't decided what's gonna be rings and what will become necklaces yet. I will just have to wait and see what happens. More photos on my Flickr.


Look at this mystery moss agate. It's gorgeous. It has a greyish/blueish color with transparent background. I must do something fun with this one.


I still have to solder back plates to all of these (except the big one) and figure out what designs I want to make.. I have a few new ideas in my head. No I am not telling! you just have to be patient! More photos on my Flickr.


and now I will go and rest my head on my pillow.. Trying to sleep without David. I know it's silly cause we are hardly ever apart but I really miss snuggling up and feel his arms around me..
Only 2 more days!

Godnatt my friends!

cause nobody does it better...

hide and seek that is..

Did I tell you lately how special my little furball Lisa is? Sometimes I think my heart will explode with love. She is determined to cheer me up while David is away working..

I think it's working... *smiles from ear to ear*



If a box is open. She is in it. Or will be in it... shortly. That just how it works.. I don't think she ever met a box that she didn't like.



yep her head didn't fit through. She was NOT happy. At all.

I swear she sat in that box for another good 15 minutes before getting out. Now she is sleeping on the armchair next to me. Completely passed out. Must be exhausting sitting in boxes.


:o)
godnatt!
