When I got into the shop, I quickly hemmed this stack of new napkins, for myself. Sometimes you just have to do something nice for yourself. My everyday napkins are getting really ratty and I found this remnant that made 9 napkins.
Got a wedding dress finished and another came in and another is coming in tomorrow. There is still plenty to do in the shop for which I am grateful.
When hubs and I ran to the sister missionaries apartment last night, hubs could not use a snake or his bulb that forces water into the pipes to remove or push a clog through. I spent 20 minutes on my knees forcing a plastic drain cleaning hook down that stupid drain. I was about to give up. I could feel the hook hit the clog but I could not bring it up or force it out. Finally I told myself I would force the hook 5 more times and then we would have to call a plumber. On the third try the clog pushed through. Perseverance wins again.
Hubs got a phone call that they needed a crew down at the food bank to make up boxes for the elderly. The food bank had a truck coming to pick up several pallets of completed food boxes which had not been started. So they were desperate.
We went in with 9 church members to get these completed and boy did we work hard. We were all a sweaty mess when we were done. But the truck was full and ready to roll. I don't know if any of us will be able to move in the next 24 hours.
I am back on a low carb diet as all my pants are getting too tight and I refuse to buy new clothes. As you all know Kim loves sweets. I have been very bad for quite a few months, well... maybe since covid started. I also decided to start doing an exercise video again. Let me tell you it kicked my butt. I am so sore and then I had to do the food bank. I don't think there is any part of me that does not ache when I move. At least being so sore makes me not hungry. I just want to sit in a hot tub and go to bed.
The shop will be busy today, as many people will be picking up, which is nice. I have not been able to fill my money envelopes, as I had no money left over after paying off that bill last week.
I have no idea what kind of meat I am going to have for dinner, I guess I need to go hunt through the freezer.
Have any of you gained weight over Covid? Have any of you ever done any kind of exersice video on youtube?
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
Kim
Quite a few years ago, I purchased a few exercise videos, came home, fixed a snack, sat down and watched them....ack.
ReplyDeleteI hate clogs!
Doing something for myself in the midst of everything makes me feel happier and freer to do needed things.
I hate exercise. I want to do something like walk, bike, run up the stairs.
I love clogs and I love to exercise. Clogs becasue my feet are deformed from arthritis, and exercise becasue I like to move.
DeleteI gained a few pounds last year - but have just reduced eating and I am losing a bit. I don't do formal exercise! Summer I work outside, and in winter I turn on the oldies and DANCE! Yes, it is great exercise.
ReplyDeleteI love to walk and run, and in the summer I too get more outside exersice. Winters are harder.
DeleteI gained a bit less than five pounds but haven exercised, so my muscles also turned into fat ;(. So my jeans are tight, I think about exercising ;). So good for you on getting started.
ReplyDeleteReally enjoy your blog, thank you for the time and effort you second writing.
My muscles have turned to jelly painful jelly, I am limping I am so sore.
DeleteHi Kim!
ReplyDeleteI was literally just thinking that I need to start eating better.
I had been doing well, but I go in spurts.
Currently, I am in a "Oh Look! A crappy Hostess cupcake that tastes like sawdust! Yumm!" spurt.
Have a good day. I am off for a bowl of Special K!
Isn't it funny how we will just eat crap even though it doesnt taste that great?
DeleteI've lost 10 lbs (no international traveling/work trips & much more consistency with exercising). I struggle in the winter with maintaining/losing, so I'm trying valiantly right now, with no progress. I have low energy & always think food is the answer. It's not.
ReplyDeleteI do a mix of: elliptical, running/walking outside, & workout DVDs
Well I am going to try and follow your example. I just can't stand my clothes tight.
DeleteI always seem to gain weight....lol. Pretty napkins!! Cindy in the South (why it has me as anonymous again, I do not know.)
ReplyDeleteWell as Lawyer, anonymous is probably best. I just really love to eat.
DeleteWhat lovely napkins.
ReplyDeleteI have put on a bit of weight as well, but hopefully I can lose most of it come spring when I can get out and walk further. Now I am just trying to maintain.
God bless.
Same here, but I am hopeful to get back into my walking regime, but it has been so cold, but I guess I can bundle up.
DeleteIt is just so much easier to stick to a diet when you can get out in the sunshine and either work or get a good bit of walking in.
DeleteI just told a friend to only snack at the table, no eating in front of the tv a couple weeks ago. He's lost 10 lbs.
ReplyDeleteHubby's weight is holding steady but he would like to lose 25 lbs this year.
I've lost weight and inches... I have no clue why.
