Ever wake up and just feel like a lazy sloth? Today I am one, no workout, no weigh in, no nothing. I decided I had better clean the dust infected house. Of course I slept until 10:30 AM.......yes, you read right! I never do that.....unless I'm sick and I'm not sick. Sometimes I think the problems of life just get to you, so the body says sleep! I work about an hour away and get home around 10:30 PM which never helps, as who can just go to bed and crash? So, today I am a sloth. No sewing, just dusting, vacuuming, and all the other chores I have put off. Child #2 those curtains will get finished before you move! Promise! I also have to make a very quick baby quilt for a co-worker.......then hopefully I can get back to rug hooking. This is the longest I have ever taken a break from it. Of course I need to sand and repaint my front porch steps and a small part of the porch as the dawling took a power hose to it.....what was he thinking? I was able to stop him a fourth of the way through, lots of words were said over that one. I chalked it up to his man genes...the dawling..........
My, killing time on this post.....got to get ready for work.........one day I can maybe really slow down for good....not just today only...ah, pity party is over.............but boy that felt good!
OK, got my fat butt up very early to meet with my trainer.....we are focusing on my core muscles...specifically....the gut....since I can't get it cut off...I must get the muscles to take back control.......many children.....eating like cow......well.......you get the picture? After two and one half hours of ah, "sweet delight" I went to get the annual cattle scale weight....yep only lost half a damn pound........ I go to the gym and work like "pound dog" Monday thru Friday and half a pound is what I get?! Getting old...seeing the big 60 looming fast really sucks....the weight doesn't come off as fast as one would like.........Take heed young people the older you get the harder to get the poundage off! My tidbit for the year..............
Still working on the never ending curtains.............bits and pieces of time here and there.......maybe by the summer?
I am feeling OK about the cattle scale...no loss..... no gain...maintained......which is good...... cause peoples....I've been a cooking fool this week!!!! I am not working during the week days this week, I am only working the weekend...........so am cooking and working out....Monday night I burned nearly 1,500 calories...I went in the AM and PM....but due to the over exercised insanity, I was able to do very little on Tuesday.............. But I am back to my insanity in the workout department now! I am making a 10 inch blackbottom pie for Friday.......why then.......I will be working and thus will not have to indulge self in the heavenly bliss.......all for child #4 he is home for spring break................. going to watch Morning Glory on "puter"
I lost only (.2 pounds) of lard last Thursday.......we will see what happens this week.... I have my child #4 home for spring break...so I am cooking quite a bit...........
My dawling went in to NYC ....I gave him a list of places to seek and spend money...........I really wanted to go but couldn't get off................
He was able to also go to Phillys wonderful garden show....next year I am going!!!!!
As for the curtains I am getting there........the pattern is coming as I sew.........creative that I am.......blah
Trying like heck to get curtains made for child number 2........the dawling is leaving this Friday to pick up child number 4 for spring break.......he is doing a side trip to drop off "stuff" for the #2......BUT........it looks like I am not going to make it.....in the curtain department...you may ask why...I am making them to match that quilt I made for her.............which took me almost 6 months or so to complete............I never have enough time.......always slips away.........working.........working and working..........
I will go to cattle scale Thursday.......
Do I have to go into this subject? Yes!! I have been "hit" by the mean people.......came out of left field.......stung....tears came, but dear lord I held the tears back...... no tears in front of the "hitter".....realized this person has a psych history from way back.......could I have "hit" her back? Yes, I could have.....did I? No......what will it get me? I feel sorry for this person and those she hangs with..........nuff said...I feel better now................working with nurses are like working with cats...........meow..............
OK, I was hoping for a big loss.....not really eating much due to the blasted sickness encompassing my entire being....blah.......but no.... a loss of (.8pounds)...blah and blah!
Onward I trudge...........through this weight loss hell..........Roasted brussel sprouts...we have become one...........it also gives you gas......ask my dawling............he tells me it "erupts out of me" when I'm sleeping...................pay backs can be nice..................
