    Default Septembere 2013 Weight Loss Adventure with a PRIZE!!!!!

    On September 1, weigh yourself and write it down. Do NOT send it to me. On September 30th weigh yourself again and PM me your loss. This is weight lost not percentage lost. I will announce the winner on October 3rd.

    The prize is a themed FQ from each member. Once winner is declared I will contact the winner and the FQ's will be mailed by the 6th.

    PM (private message) me for mailing address. All FQ's should be mailed by the 15th of the month.

    You need to post to the thread at least once a week to be eligible for the winning FQ's aka "skinny quarters" and to be declared "biggest loser" for the month.

    You cannot win 2 months in a row.

    I'm in again. This keeps me motivated. It has been a crazy time around here since May. I think things are calming down now. I started back to work today. Just an in service day today, kids on Tuesday. As a lot of you guys know I had some issues last year. I am in a new classroom this year. WOO HOO! SOunds like things will be much better. Things got so bad last year I was grinding my teeth in my sleep and had to start wearing a mouth guard. I finally went to the principal when I bit thru it one night. The person who is my replacement in that position has already asked me how I could stand it. She told the principal she would scrub toilets to get out. Very hot in the school today. One teacher had a thermometer and her classroom was 103 at 2:00 this afternoon. That is without students. Hopefully cooling down this weekend.
    Hopefully everyones health will be better this month.
    Wednesday I am going to try to go to a 6:00AM spinning class. Hope I can get out of bed.

    I guess since I already mailed my FQ that I am in again maybe this month I'll do better.

    I gained 3 lbs last month. August was a tough month for me in a lot of ways. Hopefully, September will be better.

    We were supposed to go to a picnic yesterday. I didn't really want to go but was going to because my DH wanted to go. I made a raspberry cake to take. While it was in the oven my DH decided he didn't want to go I was annoyed with him. So .... I made my own fun day. I had signed up for a Craftsty class for FMQ a while ago when it was on sale. I spent pretty much all day up in my sewing room doing the class. I made it thru lesson 7 of the class. I followed along and practiced on my scrap sandwich. Then when I was doing ok with it I quilted a doll quilt I am making for charity. I have 12 doll quilts pieced that I need to quilt and bind by Sept 12th. I quilted 4 of them. I plan on doing a few more today as practice before I move on the the next lesson.
