It is an uphill battle walking as much as I want to as well. But I hear you. I love walking outside, taking a little bag with me and my camera, and a doll so I can take pics as a reward when I walk. Then I feel like I'm getting something for all that exercise! lol.

You put so much effort in your dioramas and crafts and I for one appreciate your 2015 efforts and look forward to what you'll be up to in 2016.<br /><br />I hear you about the weight loss. I've been trying since 2012 to lose weight and it's just up and down, up and down. If only I could resist potato chips and popcorn or at least stick to a reasonable portion size.Muffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121187068323359131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8923014215546188922.post-22670259270646700402015-12-27T18:14:34.415-08:002015-12-27T18:14:34.415-08:00Well Farrah, the weight loss is not as remarkable,...Well Farrah, the weight loss is not as remarkable, (actually remarkable for me, that is) when it is about maybe a 1 1/2 loss per month at the estimate I calculate with setbacks over a 18 or 20 month period. That is a rough estimate, maybe 2 lbs a month. At one point in the summer I was up to walking 2-3 miles every other day, then some days I didn't. Sometimes circumstances interfered totally with my exercise regime. And I didn't eat correctly. So part of my goals this year is to try to get the distractions out of the way so I can get back to focusing on my exercise as first things first. Like you, I try to focus on thepositives- for instance, I tried to start running, but it was extremely hard for me with my weight,even with the app on my phone I used- the C25K app helps you to gradually do it. It was helpful but I enjoyed the walking much much more.<br /><br />Smaller places, thank you. <br /><br />As for my goals, they are ambitious, and I'm hoping to make them 'Expansive' to stretch my wings so to speak. Try new things, new techniques with the hobby. After all, this is for my enjoyment and my own creative outlet. And I enjoy the challenge, when I do not have a challenge in my hobbies I get bored. The wonderful thing with 1:6 scale is it is never boring as an art form.
