We are in for several days of wet weather again.
BUGGER DAMN AND BLAST.
It might even still be wet on Monday for our Cambridge Market.
That will be a bummer, cos that was going to be a good market. Well, we hoped it would be.
If it's wet, probably will be a bust.
But... let's cross our fingers and hope this shitty weather blows through faster than anticipated.
Today I am going to work on that new runner. Going with a nautical theme, so I've been looking a pictures of fish/seaweed etc.
Still working on some sort of design, though I'm taking inspiration from our fish painting.
Fabric and stitching ... it might take a while!
But, it's a new challenge, and I like a challenge. 😊😉
Just a little about 'weight' today. KY Girl commented yesterday that there was no reason why I couldn't get back to 67 kilos if I wanted to, as I ROCK, and can do anything I wish to.
THANK YOU for the vote of confidence chick, but as I said in my reply to you:
"I agree. I COULD get back to 67 kgs, but I don't want to. That weight was unsustainable for me. And I want to be realistic with my goals and long term expectations."
This time around I am working on getting healthy, not working on getting to a MAGIC NUMBER. Anything with an 8 in front of it will do it for me.
I can do that. I can stay at that. THAT will make me incredibly happy. And if by some miracle I want to drop a bit more, well that will be a bonus.
But only if it is what I want to do, and it's not stressful for me.
I'm done with unrealistic expectations, and stress.
I bought 5 new knickers on Thursday, and today I am going out to buy a few more. They will 'do' me until I've dropped to my ultimate GOAL.
But for now... I'm gunna get up and see what needs doing around the house, before we go out to buy knickers.

Good for you losing the weight, better to try and lose it now, because, and this is a voice of experience. The older you get it becomes more difficult to lose those extra pounds. I am not as active as I was, try to be but, energy levels sometimes just don't allow what my mind and body thinks it should or could do. Cheering you on from the other side of the earth.
ReplyDeleteHave fun making the nautical themed runner, I know it will be awesome! It's all good with the weight and what we ourselves wish to do for our own health - mental and physical. You are one of the most energetic people I know, you run circles around me and you will make it all work for you as you have been while reaching this goal.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the bad weather, that is so frustrating when you have plans! Ky Girl
I saw that a New Zealand airport was flooded! That's a lot of water! Can't wait to see the nautical theme runner. Make happy friendly fishes!
ReplyDeleteNever too old 😄
ReplyDeleteYou are never too old to wear jeans. I might pass on the crop top, though!
ReplyDeleteYou know, jeans have come a long way in recent years. Lots of sizes and fits and best of all STRETCH!
ReplyDeleteOf course you can wear jeans. You can wear whatever the hell you want any time & at any age. There are no rules 😊
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately Chris the weather isn't that promising for Monday. So much for summer. Keep your goal of wearing jeans. I don't think older women look like ' mutton dressed as lamb' in them. My mother used to use that saying as well 😂
ReplyDeleteNo one is too old for blue jeans. That is my opinion, of course. Ha Ky Girl
ReplyDeleteHell no, I an 67 this year I literally live in jeans... Jean shorts in summer and long jeans in winter. I have dress jeans, casual jeans and around the house jeans. You can get some really comfortable ones now and all kinds of cuts.
ReplyDeleteYou definetly can wear jeans and you look awesome right now and are doing a fabulous job - your way which is so much more sustainable. 100 percent needs a committed mindset to allow all the knowledge to fall into place and I think you are better placed to do it. Achieveable lots - no maniac low end goal - but realistic timeframe and you can always reassess after your main goal is achieved. I think Chris you have a handle on it - and we love how open and honest you are because we are all struggling in this space and its great to have someone relateable doing it their way. You got this baby. Maria (Australia)
ReplyDelete'baby' ... OMG, more like crabby old tart! But thanks for the lovely comment Maria.
DeleteWear jeans Chris. I’m 69 and still wear them, age is a number. Know what you’re saying though, you’ll know mutton dressed as lamb
ReplyDeleteThanks for your wise words to me Chris. You are in the right head space so good to see 😊I’m trying (harder)

I'm 63 and live in jeans . Go to Miller's and look at the stretchy ones there. I'm not overweight but they're the only ones I'll wear because they're SO incredibly comfortable!
ReplyDeleteMmm, stretchy jeans. Ill have a search for those!!

ReplyDeleteWear jeans Chris. Im going on 67 and wear them all the time.
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish I could wear jeans again Chris wow the excitement slipping on size 14 jeans not struggle not lying on the bed to try squeeze into the just slipping them on...now my fat arse is in a size 26 again someday I just cry.. I let myself down.
ReplyDeleteOnly my hips/butt are a size 14! Not further up... my biggest problem areas are waist and boobs! We both let our guard down chick, but it's never too late to do something about it. I hope you find the motivation again one day, I'm here to talk if you want.
DeleteAhhh, those jeans. I had two pairs hanging in my cupboard waiting years for me to fit into them. I did eventually, one is too big. I wore the other a few weeks ago and discovered I didn't like jeans anymore. Got too used to leggings. They're so comfortable. But you can wear jeans at ANY age. I'm 70 now and I still think they look great on me. But, nothing like leggings for comfort 😃😃
ReplyDeleteÒf course you're not too old for jeans especially with your skinny butt and legs. Go for it. Hope the weather clears up there. Kj
ReplyDeleteI wear jeans, how old am I? 81 years.
ReplyDeleteWear the jeans, the sparkle, whatever takes your fancy.
