Goal Weight

-

 I hit my goal weight in February - 180 pounds, meaning I lost exactly 1/2 of my body weight.   Feels pretty sweet if I'm being honest.   

This was the February photo I shared with my Macros Inc Facebook group.   Not the main group - but they do challenge groups a couple times a year.   Last year I participated in both challenges - and it really helped keep me on track.  If you're looking to lose weight - and KEEP IT OFF - I highly suggest learning as much as possible about your nutritional needs instead of looking for the next fast way to lose weight.   

I was already about 50 pounds down when I joined Macros Inc. and hired a coach.   I've been with her steady now for 2 years - but it was back in 2019 I think when I first hired her for 3 months - and I really suggest if finances are tight - do at least 3 months and give yourself the very best start you can.   Plus they do offer a free 2 week trial - so those 3 months could really be beneficial if timed correctly.  I can also send you a $50 gift certificate - I don't know how many months you have to commit too to use it - I think just three - but reach out if you want one !! 

Now that I've made my goal weight, the next step is maintenance and building muscle.   Surprisingly - even though I'm not a vain person - I'm seriously thinking of having my arms done - way too much leftover skin !!  So stay tuned.   I'll also start sharing my peptide stacks that I've used to fix my skin, help fix my shoulder, and help drop the final pounds in my 180 pound loss.

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 !
