Had to make some new goals - because I was already hitting those January goals.  

I've actually already hit some of these too - except for the pullup ... still working on that one.

Not sure where I left off tracking my weight journey here - but get this - I am down to 182 pounds.   I am 2 pounds away from losing 50% of my bodyweight.   Holy shit batman.   Who does that?   I'll weigh 180 pounds, and I'll have lost 180 pounds.   Pretty damn cool. 

Still hitting the gym three days a week.   Want to see 180 on the scale just once - and then into maintenance through summer.   Then maybe another cut - I don't know.   But I do know I feel amazing.   And it's time to share how I got here.

First - I fixed my nutrition.   Macros Inc. - bar none.   I've never seen a company that gives away so much for free.   Can't afford a personal nutrition coach?   Put your info on the main page, and one of the coaches will give you a Macros check and you can go from there.   While weekly checkins are personalized like they would be if you had a real coach - the group there is soooo awesome - you could complete your entire journey without a paid coach.   

But - if you can afford it - get the coach.   First off - they are paired with what you are looking for - not some rando person who has zero care except a paycheck.   No - these coaches care.   I've been with my coach off and on since 2019 - and I don't waste money - so that's telling you something.   She's helped me see what went wrong, how to fix my head about it, drilled into me the importance of sleep - just about all of it - and yes, a female coach - and if you know me - I don't work well with females, but she and I are soooo alike, it's crazy.   

Anyway - yep - Macros Inc.   I started just fixing my nutrition.   You don't have to even work out.   Up your steps.   Get a stupid pedometer if your watch doesn't track steps.   But step one - Up your Steps.   If you average 5K, up it to 7K.   Try to get as close to 8K as you can.   Take a couple laps around your house if you have to !!   

Get those two things squared away.   We're going to do this step-by-step.   Stay tuned.....

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 !
