The Saga of Blue

If it was not already apparent from my last post, I am blue and have been this way for about a month now. I have vehemently tried to shake the blues but I just cannot seem to do so successfully. So my cure for the blues is not a cure for my waist line: which is to bake. Being a baker all sorts of recipes and ideas come to mind when I think of comfort foods, foods that I have been taught are cure-alls for the blues, especially winter-blues. The crook on the right-hand side of my neck is probably not helping my want-to-feel-good-cause either! I cannot seem to shake it either, it (the crook in my neck) has been with me all day :-(

I have not weighed-in as often over the last few weeks but I have held my ground at 40 pounds of weight lost. I need to figure out how to get my head back in the game. The sooner I can do that (get back into gear) to sooner more weight will begin to come off. I have also kept my exercise routine moving in the right direction with 5 to 6 workouts a week. Am I happy where I am (with my weight and short term and long term goals)? Absolutely not!! But I am trying to show gratitude and humbleness to keep me from slipping all the way down to the beginning (and gaining back 40 pounds).

Below are some of the recent pics of items I have created (to help overcome the blues or to feed it one in hopes it will become full and go away)!   Enjoy!
