Just a little change can do SO MUCH! Baby steps will get you there, and you’re more likely to have bigger successes and easier lifestyle transitions if you do. Look at me I’m living proof. 10.4 since May 1, 20018👏🏻🙌🏻 if you don’t think you can do it. If you’ve tried every diet and failed. If you feel depressed, discouraged, and like an empty shell of a person, prisoner in your own body .... I’m telling you KEEP TRYING. It’s not an overnight thing. It takes hard work but it’s worth it. This body is all you got... treat it like the precious gift it is... thats when I started to truly see change and you will too! Stay strong. Stay dedicated. Stay positive!!! #weightlossjourney #weightloss #lifestylechange #goodhabbits #loveyourself #loveyourbody #ketosis #ketodiet #itsawrap #crazywrapthing #itworks #ketocoffee (at Torrington, Connecticut)

If that’s not love, I don’t know what is. This one takes after her auntie 😍 LOVES to have manicures and pedicures. Begs to use aunties face masks and sits patiently with me and helps peel them off. She’s a diva in the making 😂😉😥😙😘 #SelfCare #facemask #goofingaround #sillyface (at Canton, Connecticut)

I’d say we’re about 25%-35% done. I’m working on an smaller gauge than the original pattern calls for so I’m not sure how many skeins this is gonna take. I guess I’ll be done when I’m done. @lionbrandyarn Wool Ease Thick and Quick in Marble and Constellation @knittingboard Super Afghan Loom #kblooms #sloom #lionbrandyarn #loomknitting #loomknittersofinstagram #loomer #looming #afghan #blanket #dropstitch (at Torrington, Connecticut)

Goose on her perch. She loves looking out the window in our new apartment and barking at the squirrels and dogs walking by. #rescuedog #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescue #rescuedogrocksnyc #rescuedogsrock #adoptdontshop #adopt #pitbull #pitbullsofinstagram #pitbullsarelove (at Torrington, Connecticut)

Slow and steady wins the race? Just added on yarn ball #4 (of 15 😂)... it’s a WIP (work in progress) for sure but this blanket is gonna be so amazing when it’s done! Using @lionbrandyarn Wool Ease Thick and Quick- Prints, Stripes & Metallics in Constellation (black with a gold tinsel threaded through, and Marble (gray, white and black) on my @knittingboard Super Afghan Loom.

Yarn @ 70% off (select) 😱 ... plus there’s the weekly 40% off one item which turned to 50% for this sale and a surprise change to 60% today 🤩.... all this would regularly cost me $140 but came to a cool $60 INCLUDING TAX! ⭐️ 15 balls of Loops and Threads yarn (3 Country Loom: Nobility, 7 Charisma: Dark Purple, and 5 Charisma: White) ⭐️ Infinity Loom ⭐️ Sock Loom (not pictured) @hypnotichysteria I blame this on you 😂😂😂 thanks for all the great tutorials to follow!

My first official practice strokes using my @kellycreates brush pen set and practiced book from @michaelsstores. My hand is a little shaky (ok a LOT shaky) but you can’t be perfect at something you try for the first time, right? Can you spot the 2 places where I nodded off when I got distracted? 😴 💤 #PracticeMakesPerfect #brushlettering #handlettering #BrushPens #KellyCreates #practice #upstrokes #downstrokes (at Connecticut)

GRRRR— I just realized my hat is coming unraveled. At least it’s just a hat and NOT a metaphor for my life for once ❤️❤️❤️ #whendoigettostopwaitingoutsideforthebus (at Canton, Connecticut)

When I need a time out. When I’m stressed, anxious, sad, mad, or any other emotion in the book, I like to craft. Loom knitting for example helps me unwind and gives me something to get lost in (counting— always counting—- never ending). Using my creativity helps boost serotonin and makes me happy.
