Blog Surffing again... More Weight off

I have a couple of new favs for quilting bloggers. Actually, I have a ton of favs, but my list on my sidebar would run on forever!!

Here are a couple of new blogs that I have ran across while blog surfing. Take a look at them!

Em's Scrapbag

I went to weight training again this morning, but I'm not as sore as last time. I will need to increase the weight that I'm using in order to push my muscles...

I also stood on the scale at the gym--

I know Wendy I shouldn't have done it, but I had to know.

I guess I'm addicted to that number, but weighing once a week can't be too bad, can it???

So what did it say....

I HAVE LOST 2 MORE POUNDS.

YIPPEE!!

My clothes are starting to fit much better -

in fact on Sunday I wore a skirt I haven't worn in months becuase it was tooooooo tight....

Maybe one day I will actually post a before and after picture - but I will have to have lost LOTS more!

Have a good one...

Is this for REAL???

So I decided to get into shape thanks to my younger brother - who is 5'10"ish and all of 130 pounds soaking wet... He decided we would hike in Zion's National Park. I haven't hiked for YEARS...

But a little over 3 weeks ago I started walking on the treadmill till I was a sweating fool.

Then 2 weeks ago I decided to track my weight, of which I need to lose A LOT!! So I got my base weight, then last week I weighed myself on the same scale as the previous week and I was down about 2.5 pounds. This put a smile on my face to start the week...

but this last week I didn't have a great week working out -

I only made it 4 days of the 5-6 I usually make. So I was a little nervous getting on the scale this morning. I did it though and guess what

THE SCALE MUST BE LYING!!!

I am down 11 pounds from my weight last week. Nothing major has changed, I just am a little more aware of what is being put in my mouth, and I am working out really hard.

GET REAL

I KNOW THAT THE SCALE MUST BE LYING!!!

That means in total I have lost 13 pounds in 2 weeks.

I CAN TAKE ON THE WORLD!!!

Wish me luck!!

Down 2... How do you???

Yep that's right I am down 2 pounds from last Monday. So this getting fit thing might actually work. In the grand scheme of things 2 pounds doesn't sound like much, but I know over time it will be!!

I have also decided to join the Crafty, Creative & Fit bloggers. You can see who all is joining at the Running Quilter blog, or click on the picture in my sidebar. I figure this is a great way to be excited about getting fit - and being creative!!

Now a quick question, I own a great Bernina sewing machine, but to be honest I am scared to death to try and machine quilt on it. Now why is that??? I know I should be able to do it, but I just can't seem to get up the courage to sit down and practice. It scares me to death. So anyone out there that knows of a great how to video on the web, or a class or something that can help me get over this fear that would be great!!!

I have also finished my bag for Linda's bag swap - but NO PICTURES, can't give anything away...

Till next time!
