I have been invited to be a major part of the 25th Annual Anchorage Museum Gala April 9th by donating a piece of my original Art!

Wow!* I'm on my way to having a normal and healthy body. I look foreward to buying an evening gown that will look simply marvelous at the Gala.  http://www.anchoragemuseum.org/ 

On September 7th I embarked on a HCG Protocol this is a very strict regime of eating only 500 calories and then only certain foods like brussel sprouts, spinach, kale, shrimp, steak and drinking a gallon of water a day. Some 73 odd days later I have released (that’s the term) 33 pounds of pure FAT. That’s right! Don’t judge me I did not get a lap band, or get my gut stapled. The fun thing is I won the first months worth of Dr. Visits, Blood tests, and HCG $1,000’s worth. It was a gift from the universe I did not throw it back. I have been so fed up with my weight and ashamed of me for letting it get so out of control. I am powerless over late night snacking and ice cream with Hershey’s Chocolate salty carb snacks and cookies - who cares. Try as I might I could not find the power of will to get back my normal weight healthy body. When I tried to count calories and walk my ass off after a week there was only a little weight loss my body just did not want to cooperate. We change as we get older and I needed something to jump start my metabolism. The results are astounding and it’s definitely worth the sacrifice. That's not the best thing folks! I quit smoking cigarettes on September 7th. My body is being overhauled.

Today I rearranged the furniture in the living room, ran the new ozone machine, and dusted, washed all the surfaces with a mild solution of vinegar and water and vacuumed. Paring down the things I now longer need and finding a new home for the other things. My shedding of pounds is also a process of letting go of the extra stuff I have pack ratted away or has outlived it’s usefulness deciding what to keep and what to shed, making room for new iinspiration and new clothes.

I also read some books today; Transformation by Bill Phillips http://www.transformation.com/  , Forever Young by Nicholas Perricone, MD and the Mayo Clinic Diet. OMG I sound obsessive compulsive? I've got allot of energy lately.

The temperature outside is below 20 degrees for three days, therefore I have not been encaustic painting. I hate to vent out the warm indoor air and heat outside. So I am cleaning instead, it is a good thing I enjoy cleaning.
