Yesterday was good although I didn't get the ironing done so that's pretty high on the list for today, as is another load of washing.
Lindsey worked me fairly hard in personal training; she's definitely upped the levels for this block of sessions. No complaints, it's what I wanted and it's definitely working. A biggie was improving my balance which was very poor and that's certainly better. Also, I'm managing things that I never used to be able to manage. Yesterday was a case in point; curling down until hands touch the floor, then 'walking' the hands forward into a plank, holding the plank for ten seconds or so, then walking back and slowly straightening again. I could never have done that before Christmas even.
So I left the session feeling pretty good!
I finished the very simple skirt I was making. It's a bit too short as there wasn't quite enough fabric left but that's OK, I can use it when sitting outside in the garden on those warm spring and summer days that are just around the corner (I can dream) and I now know my size for that particular pattern. It's come out nice and I will use it again.
I dug out some more fabric (like yarn, I have a ridiculous amount of stash!) and have started on a top, a bit more complicated which is good. I got it cut out and all the markings stitched in so today I will set to with the machine. No - first I will tidy up what's left of the previous make and then I will set to!
I'm just posting this collage because there's this free online program that takes your photos and turns them into a collage (loads of choices) which you can save. It's called photocollage.com and it's very useful.
Today there's nothing in the diary until tuition.
I have that ironing and some washing, I need to go to Morrisons for a little shop, there's some planning to do and the tidying up and then I can start sewing again. I want to put in a good day's work because I won't be able to do any more after today until Tuesday.
Tomorrow I am out on a little adventure (meaning something new)!
Have a great day. xx
It is a good feeling when you realise how much the exrecise is helping. The sewing sounds to be going well - my machine is getting a good run too at the moment - have to find something to do when it is too cold to go in the garden. Have a good day x
ReplyDeleteIt really is. Most cheering too.
DeleteIt's snowing now - very wet, non-settling snow - so there's no way I'm going out. If it was proper snow I would - I love a walk in proper snow.
Enjoy your sewing.

Lovely collage when I look at my photos I have hundreds of plants or dogs but relatively few of people.
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised. :-) You used to take quite a lot of your garden, didn't you?

An adventure... Exciting...
ReplyDeleteSomething new anyway! :-)

I like the collage app and have made a note to look at it later. I'm impressed by what you have achieved with the exercising and am glad that all your hard work is paying off.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Eileen. It's making quite a difference.

Wow, it really does sound like you have done well with the exercise. It's something I am definitely getting back into once I'm back at the Van. Workouts and walking, both have slipped by the wayside since I've been home.
ReplyDeleteEven the dogs have been refusing to come out on walks during this bad weather. Their little jackets are in the caravan so they will be wrapped up and forced out with me, a few gravy bones in my pockets might sweeten their mood a bit ;-)
Your dogs are very sensible - but probably gravy bones trump commong sense!

It sounds like the personal training sessions are working out well for you and it must be so encouraging to feel such an improvement. X
ReplyDeleteI surprised myself, I have to admit! It is encouraging, definitely! Many thanks.
