Subject: RE: Summer Declutter & Fitness - AUGUST '13
Moved a few more files to shared work folders this morning. Sent a project to the printer. My bag is lighter today since I'm not carrying in the various things I used to take back and forth for the writing and photography job. I read in my work email that they have a new name tag for me (different department name on it.)

I'm down a couple of more pounds. They're dropping off more slowly now, but still going. The muffin-top is still there, but at a much reduced level. I am about 15 pounds from my general target weight. I've lost 27 pounds so far.

The jelly is beautiful. I use a Sharpie to identify the canned item (I used to use the fussy little labels that came with the canning jars, but I don't know anyone who uses those any more.) I also used a red Sharpie to draw a tiny heart on each lid. :)

Yesterday before making the jelly I poked through my large movable wire shelves to find canning jars (it's a 7' tall unit with six shelves that I bought at Sam's Club years ago. It has an interesting look when it's organized.) This morning I moved a couple of boxes from the bottom shelf (filled with clean jars ready to go that I pulled from various locations in the shelves) into the closet pantry and I can see things I'd forgotten about. I put some tomato juice into the fridge and I'll plan to draw down more these canned supplies over the next few months.
