I am down seven pounds in my quest to lose twenty. At this rate, I should be down the 20 lbs by the 4th of July! I ditched the sparkpeople.com idea since the site is banned from my work and instead, I have started up on the Nivea challenge (google it, it’s pretty easy to maintain). It consists of three days on, one day off, two days on, one day off, all the while interspersing strength training with interval cardio. Today is an interval cardio day, so I will be out with my walking buddy and we will add three minutes of jogging every ten minutes into the mix. Should be interesting if nothing else, especially in the god-awful swelter that wont leave New England. Sundays are my cross training days and I have already made plans to go on a bike ride. I havent ridden a bike in ages, so I will keep you all in the loop as to whether or not the old adage is true and I haven’t forgotten how.
In sewing news, I have not even started on my nautical themed bag for the wedding on the 21st. Gasp! Time is running out. I think the thing most holding me back is the daunting task of having to make my own striped fabric. I am unsure how to stitch it to ensure it is stitched securely since I will be cutting up the fabric. I’ll keep thinking about it and start on it on Friday (one of my off days in the fitness regime). I have it all sketched out, however, just waiting on my shipment from Joann with the flex frame and boning and stabiliser (which has no bearing on when I can start stitching the striped fabric, I jsut like to make excuses.)
Carry on!
