Weight Loss Update
The good news? I lost five freaking pounds for a week! That’s with no exercise but just avoiding carbs and that includes my beloved rice. I also learned to eat frequent small meals. READ: portion control. The bad news is I gained it all back because I got sick and all I wanted was either soup or rice. I’m not at all disappointed in gaining back those pounds because I know now that it is still possible for me to lose weight without getting hungry. Also, working out will come into play to lose more and also so I can have a bit of the carbs back. Carbohydrates give energy so they are essential in the diet. I know a guy who can eat a whole loaf of bread in one sitting but still doesn’t get fat. He builds mobile homes for a living and all that carbs get burned up in the process. I’m not sure when exactly I’ll go back to my weight loss plan since I’m still recuperating but I do know that I will be doing it again soon.
Project Life: Week 2
Yes, another Project Life post. I’m already getting used to making this. Second week was a breeze to make and I like the outcome of my one-page spread. I have printed out the DVD cover of Hana Yori Dango (a Japanese tv series based of a manga with the same name) and included them in my spread for this week. It was one of the highlights of my week because it was the last one I’ve seen. I have watched the other versions years ago and it was only now that I got to see the Japanese version. Also since I’m a foodie, I have to include food shots and this won’t be the last. 
I’m also loving the Korean diary stickers on my journaling. They give character to my journaling notes and also give that cute factor that I’m recently into these days.
This is not much of a close up but I just want to show how adorable those diary stickers are!
Project Life: Week 1
I’m skipping the title page until I get a decent picture of me and the husband printed out. Let me just say that it was a bit intimidating to start the project. I actually went through different blogs of people working on Project Life to get some inspiration. That was a bad idea because it gets me more frustrated to make mine as creative and as beautiful as theirs. I had to stop for a minute and realize that I don’t have to compare my work to theirs and just make whatever works for me. And so I did, with that said, first week is done! This is a two-page spread, by the way. I have photos for the entire week so I need that extra page for my journaling and titles. Thank you for looking!
Project Life: The Supplies
I have gone bonkers! I’m joining Project Life this year! It’s a spin off of Project 365 (taking 1 photo each day). However, Project Life is more about recording the memories each day or week or month – whatever works for you. Becky Higgins sells a Project Life supplies which makes it easier to do this. I did not buy the album because to be honest, I’m not confident that I will be able to make it all throughout the year. So for my first year, I will be using my own supplies. Here are the things that I have been using:
8.5×11 binder album and baseball card holder page protector
patterned papers from different paper packs and cardstocks
alpha stickers
korean diary stickers, puffy stickers, post its and DIY felties
For journaling, I’m using the Smash book pen. It writes smoothly which is what I love about it. I will be posting my weekly layouts here, so watch out for that. I’m really enjoying this project and hopefully, next year I will be able to buy the real thing.
Easy Moving
Guest written by our friend Katie Callahan
I helped my sister move into her new house this weekend. She is such a minimalist compared to me. After we moved her bedroom furniture, and living room furniture, it was about 20 boxes of stuff and we were done. It was actually relatively easy. Of course, I guess after moving my family of 5 two years ago (which was quite traumatic for everyone involved), moving a single girl is a breeze. We were done getting everything out of the truck and into the house by lunch. My sister told my dad and husband where she wanted them to put her big furniture, my mom ordered pizza and I jumped on my ipad to get my sister’s TV set up. She didn’t care what provider I chose for her (she’s so easy come, easy go) but I went to http://www.Direct.TV/ and showed her the package that my husband and I have. She was happy with that. I also helped her with a couple other small things, then we all sat down to eat some pizza and rest.
