I have to fess up that my goal to maintain 114 lbs is not happening right now, no matter how much I work out at the gym. I do my 30-minute cardio, half hour of yoga, and attend another half hour of hot hula class but the weighing scale won't even budge - I'm still 7 lbs over - ugh! I've been eating the same amount of food but for some reason, my waistline is expanding. Ok, I admit, I guess age is coming into play and from now on, I need to be more watchful of my calorie intake. My hubby's focused intensity to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight is now paying off. He finally reached his healthy weight after deciding to really lose the extra pounds right before Thanksgiving last year. I think I need to do that, too.
Blog Tip
Since it's tax time, my friends, I just thought of sharing with you a post called What Do Bloggers Need to Claim for Taxes?

You clicked, inlinkz tallied. The readers' favorite blog post this past week, being the most viewed post, is my good friend Rosemary's adding dimension. Have you heard of dimension paint or gesso? She has touched about these in her post so check out her Villabarnes blog.
Our Party
To the main course of this post.
For those of you joining us for the first time, we only have 2 easy, simple rules:
1) Link up your creative post - can be a DIY project, decor, photography, crafts, recipes, poem, thrift finds, link party, or that informative syndicated post that can make us laugh, or cry - in short, whatever you're proud of! And if you like to link more creative posts, go for it! We'd love to see them :) (No links to businesses or giveaways. We have another party for these exclusively every Tuesday called Market Your Biz & Giveaways at 5 pm, PST.)
2) Follow as many blogs as you desire, either via Google Friend Connect or Linky Followers, preferably starting first with the one who linked before you and after you, before branching out, and let them know by leaving a comment. (Following me will be very much appreciated, and I definitely follow back. Just let me know you're following.)
Displaying the party button on your blog, while optional, is very much appreciated :) It will help you remember to come back and link up to the the happiest blog party on the block (ahem!). It will also help others find their way to the party which we all love because the more the merrier :)
Link opens up every Sunday at 5:00 pm, PST and ends Friday at 11:59 pm.
Friends, go ahead and get to know each :) One followed blogger is one gained friend. And please, don't forget to join my Market Your Biz and Giveaways blog party every Tuesday at 5 pm, PST. It's your chance for free promotion of your family-friendly business and giveaways.
Now, let's party like no other!

Thanks so much for hosting. Good luck on the weight loss. I wish I had some words of advice, but I don't. I struggle everyday. I think stress plays a big role too.

ReplyDeleteA foolproof way to maintain a healthy weight? MMMmm I always think that consistency is the key - but am finding age is a factor. I run, and read the other day that once you hit 40 you have to run an extra 2km a week to maintain the same weight and fitness!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work! You will get there!
Thanks for hosting. Hope you have a lovely week!
These are wonderful ideas! Thank you for letting me link up!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for hosting. Have a great day!
