Design Wall Monday, Using the Stash and Days 92 to 98

Monday and I have the start of a new quilt on the table. I want something new for my bed and think Kaffe and friends may be the ticket. Will  be a lot scrappier than it looks at the moment.

 To the stash report then:-

Fabric used 1 metre
Fabric used to date 15 1/4metres

Goal for 2010 Use 100 metres - will need to get moving.

Head on over to Judy's to see how others are doing.


Bright and early in the gym first thing last cold Tuesday morning. A snappy 30 minutes on the treadmill for 2.83kms. Have my first session with my new trainer tomorrow. Hope I can fight off this cold.

Wednesday and my first session with the new trainer  Always slightly awkward as you figure each other out. He has a slightly different take on things so will be interesting to see how I go for the next two months. He certainly made me sweat!

Thursday morning in the gym and I was so tired. My fault entirely as I had stayed up watching Pretty Woman. Doesn't matter how many times I have seen it still amuses me. 45 minutes on the treadmill and I completed level 4 staying within my heart rate limits. 4.33kms. Was the slow treadmill but I'll take the progress.

Another day and another goal met. 30 minutes on the treadmill and level 5 completed. 2.95kms. The next level keeps the speeds the same but makes the hills steeper so distance traveled will probably go down for a while.

This is a moment to smell the roses as last Friday I was complaining about my lack of progress. Two targets achieved in two days. Not bad.

Saturday afternoon in the gym for a weights session. I always do the same session as I did with the trainer. Dave has me doing step ups something I haven't done for three years. Whilst I may be able to walk further my stamina in walking effectively up and down a stair is no good. Did I mention that I am also holding 15lb barbells and lifting them over my head each time I step up?  Exhausting. I struggled through and completed my weight session in 45 minutes with a couple of add ons.

Sunday morning into the gym for 45 minutes on the treadmill. 4.47kms traveled. Had to lower the speed slightly for the last 15 minutes as I still haven't got enough endurance.

Monday afternoon and 45 minutes on the treadmill for 4.48ms. Very pleasing to me to do so well as it was a hard day at work and I am usually much worse in the afternoon.
