I can't believe it's been nearly 3 weeks since I updated! bad me!!!

I HAVE been blogging, however--just not HERE!!

I finally created two sites that I have been threatening to put up for..well...years now! Once I realized that Blogger would work as an acceptable format, it made it much easier to actually accomplish--I'd been procrastinating cause creating a site seemed too daunting to me.

The first is Sinfully SugarFree which is a collection of the Low carb dessert recipes I've been creating over the past 10 years. This is DEFINITELY a work in progress, but I'm trying to add content everyday. I have over 150 recipes , but many of them still need tweaking. or formatting and there is also a lot of info/content that I want to add--but I try to work on it a bit everyday.

I thought maybe putting it out there would motivatie me to keep plugging away on it--since I know people might be looking at it!!!! LOL

Eventually I'm hoping to get sponsors on there of some of the products and sites I recommend-- and also to print a hard copy for sale. That's all in the future--for now I would love any feedback you all have--what you had questions about, content or articles you would like to see, and how you like it so far. There is a permanant link in the sidebar. (I'm not ready to actually have it OUT out there, it needs more content and recipes before I do that, so I haven't circulated it to some of the wider low carb sites that I frequent--this is just for you guys in my inner circle)

The second site is for my dolls here Relief Cheney Dolls I wanted to get it up before I sent in my contest application so I could put in a link.

So that's what I've been doing/ am doing/ will be doing.

SO....Ashley and her husband Scott were here for a week. --They arrived last Friday and left early this morning. we had such a great visit. it was so much more relaxed than the last time they were here--when they were headed back to finish their Iraq tour. this time they are headed to Wash DC area-not to a combat zone!!!. we had a wonderful time.

They arrived in 70 degree weather--went to the zoo in shorts...and left this morning in parkas and boots with a foot of snow on the ground. AHHHH Colorado.

We had family dinners, went out for great food., did Mani's and Pedi's with just " the girls" did a little shopping and a lot of just hangin' out. they look so good and I'm so glad they are back safe.

they will spend a week in Cincinnati with Scott's family then head back to Hawaii till July when they move to DC.

Love you guys.

Today is my last day on the hormone protocol for this round at least. 2 more days of Very low calorie eating to let the hormone get out of my system and then back to a low carb-no sugar no starches diet.

I'm please with the total though it isn't as earth shattering as I had hoped. I lost only 6 pounds on the scale--BUT I lost FOUR INCHES off my waist and FOUR INCHES off my hips. went from a size 12 to a six. even my 6 petites fit well. I was oping to get all the way down into my size fours but will keep plugging away. I'll take a 3 week break from the hormone at least, and then decide. If lifting and lowcarbing keep my weight coming off--even slowly, I'll probably just keep that up and try to avoid another round of HCG. it was hard work--and everyone got tired of me being on it and not eating ( and talking about it all the time!!LOL)
