CE08 Paint Can Swap

This weekend I finished my paint can for the Creative Escape swap. I should have taken pictures of all the yummies inside, but maybe the recipient will when she gets it (shh! it's still a secret). Let me know what you think. Luv, em

I'm in love ...

... with the new Making Memories Passport line. It's so fabulous! I want one of each. You can buy it here.

My last meal ...

Last night I had my last (fattening) meal: Burger King whopper and fries. Today I started Weight Watchers. I'm going to my friend's wedding in Jamaica next May, so I have one year to get swimsuit-ready. No excuses. No other option. I must lose weight. I'm not sharing a beach with a bunch of friends in my current "condition."

So I need your support. Are you with me?!? This is it. This is the year.

But it will so be worth it. Check this place out: Sandals Whitehouse. Oh yeah, and I'll be healthy and skinny and all that too. Seriously, I'll never step foot in a Lane Bryant again. I mean, thank goodness they were there all these years, but ... come on.

So, without further ado, here I am, in all my chubby glory ... the before pictures:

Sorry to Donna and Heather for getting half-faces in my before pictures. They were the latest close-to-full-body shots that I had.

Before I head out for Jamaica next year I'll post the afters. No excuses: I will be thinner. Hold me to it. Cheer me on. Yank the Ben & Jerry's from my hands. But seriously, have you tried the Imagine Whirled Peace? It's so dee-lish.

Yeah, it's going to be a long year.

luv, em
