I Admit....!!

Hello Friends & Happy Tuesday to ya!  So anyone anxious to hear how I lost 7 lbs in 1 week, lol?!  Well, I have to admit something first, hee hee.........I AM A SUGAR ADDICT, there I said it!!  My body craves sugar & I LOVE it soooo much, lol---in one day I probably had 10 people servings of sugar which is really BAD!  I drank 2-3 sodas a day, loved chocolate milk and ate sugar in all of my foods---it's amazing to really see how much sugar is in food!  So hubby and I went on Jorge Cruise's Belly Fat Cure--it was REALLY enlightening!  I always knew that fake sugar was really horrible for ya, but I didn't realize that I should only be having 15 grams of sugar a day which isn't very much I tell ya!  When you eat too much sugar your insulin rises and tells your body to hold onto all the fat you eat which leads to you gaining weight!  It makes alot of sense, so you keep your sugars down to 15 grams and carb servings to 120 grams--no limits on fats or proteins!  And you DON'T have to exercise to lose the weight although I've been working out for 35 mins a day, 4 x a week!  So most people lose 5-10 lbs the first week, hubby lost 10 lbs (boo to him, lol) and I lost 7 but I'm hoping to drop another 7 this week before I leave for CA.  I will tell ya, it's been very hard but I'm determined to do it, not just only to lose some weight but to be healthier too.  We ate way too much junk & ate out too much so this a good way to rein it all in!  Well I'm here to tell you it is hard but it does work--we're proof!!  We'll see how long I last, hee hee....

Try It Out Tuesday #50--Color Challenge!!

Since today is Tuesday that means it's Try It Out Tuesday for Susana's Custom Art & Card Design!!  I've challenged the DT to a Color Challenge using Aquas, Peach/Corals & Yellow!  I chose to use this fabulous image by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD called "Danni" (named after our DT sistah Danni)--isn't she lovely!!   My dp is by K&Co. called "Marcella" (1 of my fave paper pads from them) paired with PTI cs.  The border is a MS punch and then I layered Prima flowers & roses--the cream roses were painted with "mellow yellow" Inspiration Paints for a soft glow & shimmer (these are a little thicker than Shimmerz & work fabuloulsy on your images & flowers & shimmery too)!  Pearls and a bow made with my Bow Easy finish it off!

I colored her with copics (BG75,BG72,BG11/E19,E13,R02,R01,R00/Y15,Y11,Y00) and then added stickles to her wings and the butterflies!  I love these colors together--very calming & lovely!  Now head over to the store blog "Follow Your Heart" to see all the other DT's beautiful projects and enter for the NEW RELEASE Blog Candy while you're there!!

See ya back here tomorrow!!
