Lowest Weight in 30+ years

-

 Yep - still on my GLP-1 journey.   Did a little something different and ordered some Tirz peptides from China.   I've been using direct from Eli Lilly - at the cost of $500 a month.   Expensive yes, but safer than some of the other stuff these pop-up health shops are now selling.   

But I'm trying something new - but that'll be another post.  This post is all about changing a mindset.   I'm hardheaded, I'll admit to that.  I like things done right, and right is usually MY way LOL.   




These little envelopes ae filled with cold, hard cash.   I don't remember how much - it's been that long.  But I know the smallest bill I used was a $100, and I do think the Sub 2 has a bill in it that was pulled from circulation in 1969 (or the dead one - I'm not sure which).     These numbers represented either State or World records at the time  (I'm old) and I like to aim high.   I was close to hitting the three lifts about 4 years ago when I broke my shoulder.   I know it's not likely that I'll ever get back as strong as I was, and with my shoulder - I don't want to even try, and possibly hurt myself.   But then my Macros Inc Coach said - "why not change them to machine goals"



No way!    I can ADJUST my goals?   I don't just have to give up on these envelopes.  I don't have to tuck them away, only to find them next time I do a deep clean and get depressed all over? 
 I can CHANGE!!

So that's what I'm going to do.   Instead of Deads - I'm going to substitute leg press.   She recommended a jack squat machine to replace the squats - which I don't know if my Planet Fitness has one of those, but if not, I'm sure she'll figure out something for me.  But using machines to go heavy - that will take most of the danger of re-injuring myself again.   What a brilliant idea.  So we're going to get some baseline numbers and she'll set a goal for me that she thinks I'll be able to reach by the end of this year, and I'll most likely add 5 pounds to whatever she recommends.   And I'll change those envelopes.   And they'll sit on my desk again, as inspiration.   And that sub 200 ?   I started this journey at 360 lbs - made up these envelopes when I was about 280 - so it seemed almost impossible at the time.   Now I'm the lightest weight I've been in 30+ years - and it's looking like a distinct possibility.

Design Wall Monday

I am so happy to have something to share this week.  About a month ago, I received some inspiration from another blogger on Design Wall Monday - hosted by Judy at Patchwork Times .  I immediately fell in love with the star quilt that Kate from Life in Pieces   had put together using the pattern from Country Junktion .  I knew immediately that I could use it as the center of a quilt, and finally use those garden maze blocks that were sitting in my UFO pile.  What do you think ? This is the quilt made from the BOM pattern alone This is that same quilt surrounded by my garden maze blocks I started sewing the garden maze blocks together to see how big of a border I will be needing around the star blocks.  Now to figure out if I should border around each block, or just around the outside of the stars - what do you think?

Thanks to Judy at Patchwork Times , I'm encouraged each week to have something new to show on my design floor (most people have a design wall ..... one day when I grow up, I'll have one too !) This week I'm taking out some UFO's from 2 years ago - I love these blocks, I made plenty of them for a wall hanging, but then I just kept making more and more, until I knew I wanted a bed size quilt.  I was going to lay them out in a 5 by 7 blocks, but since these are 9" blocks - and since the blocks I want to make as a border block are 13" blocks - I thought maybe it'd be easier to do 6 by 6 - so I need to make one more of these.  Gotta figure out how to get this block into my EQ program, because this is the block I want to use as a border I was going to make a bunch of these, all with blue star middles, but with different batiks on the outside color.  Of course, I could do THESE blocks for the main part of the quilt and use the others as a border ....  eit...

  A few weeks ago, Judy from Patchwork Times told her readers that there is NO EXCUSE not to learn how to make socks - with You Tube and the internet, it's almost like having someone sitting next to you teaching you. I've tried socks before - no luck. Maybe because I started with sock weight yarn, and it was too fine for my extra large hands?  Either way, my daughter asked me for a pair of warm sock slippers. Why not? Should be easy. I checked what I hand I on hand, found a pattern that seemed doable, and made these - Now of course, pinks/blues are definately not her colors, so after proving to myself that I could do it, I bought a more "her" color (as close to black as I could find) and whipped up these, in just two nights ! So, don't ever give up - cause if I can figure it out, anyone can !  Next week - back to quilting !  To see what others are working on, check out Judy's blog at Patchwork Times !
