Blankets that is…

I am starting to think the blankies [...]

Yippee! I am down another 1.6 lbs this week!
So I have lost 13.4 out of my mini goal of 29 lbs.
In 1.1 lbs I will be half way there - in 1.6 lbs I will have lost 15 — will I be able to achieve both this week? I am going to try.
This week I [...]
