MONDAY, BACK TO SEWING

 


I am sure you all know what I will be doing today, and for the next couple of weeks.

Sewing.  Getting my stock back up to speed for the next markets, which start again in three weeks time.  

And when they do start, with the Tamahere Market in November, we will have a market every weekend for 5 weeks!   It's going to be a bit busy then.  

So, best to make the most of the next three weeks, and get plenty made, just in case we sell heaps over that time.

Top of the list of things to make is Placemats!  I sold about 18 on Saturday, which really surprised me.  When I consider how many people came to our little village market, the turn over was damn great!

I want to show you what a loss of 9.1 kilos in three months looks like:

AT THE START OF WEGOVY

THREE MONTHS AND
9.1 KILOS LOST

I really must stop bitching about how slow it seems to be going.
Slow and steady means it SHOULD stay off!  And you can clearly see the difference.  Though I would love to see some more come off from above the waist.  Hopefully the next ten kilos sees that happen.
TEN MORE, that's all I want... and if that takes another three months, then so be it.

Before I pack up my sewing trolley to go and spend the day in the craft room, I am taking myself off for a walk.  Exercise hasn't been that good of late, and I feel like if I do a bit more, like a walk EVERY SINGLE DAY, I will be helping myself get fitter, and facilitate the weight loss as well.
Right... I best get up and get moving.
Catch ya later.

ONWARD...

I HIT THAT 'MAGIC NUMBER' THIS MORNING.  
It is a number I've not seen in over 18 years.  I don't know how I feel.... I think relieved would sum it up best I reckon.   It isn't my end goal, but it was a big motivator... to break out of the 90's.   I have hesitated to ever mention actual 'numbers' before, as I felt ashamed of myself.
But it is what it is, and I can only improve from here eh?
I have been for my walk, before it got too hot.  Now I am about to head down to the craft room for some sewing.
2.12 pm, still at craft group.  I've spent HOURS cutting out placemats. I will start sewing them up tomorrow.  We will be having afternoon tea soon, then I'll head home. 
6.40 pm.
After I arrived home I made my lunch.  Today I had corned beef (frozen from the freezer), a mashed potato and some veges.
Then I kinda crashed out and lay in my bed to get warm.
That's where Stew found me when he got home from work.  Whoops.  Bit of a lazy afternoon.

Now, Stew has gone for his walk and I have unpacked my sewing trolley and have everything ready for tomorrow's sewing.

I anticipate getting most of what I cut out stitched together tomorrow.  I'll probably have to go to Spotlight for backing fabrics, I sure go through a lot of it.

And although it's still early, I am signing off for the day.  I'm going to have an equally lazy evening now.
Catch ya tomorrow.

    I haven't read the blog for a few days, so just caught up. Congrats on hitting the number! The difference is obvious in those photos, and I bet you are feeling more healthy and fit too. Glad the placemats are selling so well. I bet lots of them will become xmas gifts. Lily looked darling in her pony tails.
