Days 84 to 90 and again some shopping.

Monday and back to work. It was also the coldest morning they say in 2 years but I bet it was 20! Hoped to get away from work before the sun went down but no go. Made the gym about 6:00pm and did 35 minutes of weights. I am now officially exhausted so it will be an early night for me.

Tuesday and my fortnightly weigh in day. I lost 1.2 kilos in the last fortnight. Happy enough with that. Average weight loss is still 300 grams. I know that equals sustainable weight loss so am all right with it.

Exercise today was a 1/2 hour walk home from work. Getting to the gym was not practical so an alternative needed to be found.

Wednesday night and a quick trip to the gym. I have the beginnings of a cold and it showed. My heart rate was all over the place. 2.79kms in 20 minutes.

Thursday and still not feeling 100%. 30 minutes on the treadmill for the same result as yesterday and I really pushed myself to accomplish that. Then for some strange reason I decided to get on the bike for 10 minutes. Still crap at it and only 3.17kms. 

 Friday was my last session for two months with Tamera who is heading off overseas. She worked me hard as usual. For the first time I was able to chest press 25lb barbells. Yeah me. Tamera also believes I am being too hard on myself re progress. It's happening and as long as I don't stall for a month I am to call it successful.


A cold Saturday morning and gym first up. 4.23kms in 45 minutes.


I then went fabric shopping  and may have gone a little overboard!


The new recololored Liberty's. I bought the last range and have used lots and think these will be just as usable.

Sunday morning was weights again and I may have overdone it a bit. I upped weights on 4 exercises and can feel it everywhere. I usually just up one weight so obviously haven't taken on board Tamera's message that I'm doing OK.

Purchases at Stitches and Craft

So what did I buy yesterday. Not a lot but I'm happy with my purchases.

First up some fabric from Amite.



Then this lovely collage from here. I think this will become a gift for a friend.



An adorable apple pincushion.



Kits for little purses. I have visions of making some as presents for Xmas. I'm not saying what year though.



Final purchase of the day was not at the show but from my local shop

I love this book



and want to make this!

The quilt show made me do it.

The first purchase I made on Thursday at the show was this fantastic new book by Melly and me.




I have fallen in love with one of the embroideries and so a quick trip to a quilt store was in order to buy some background.




I did buy that but some other fabric came home as well.




Cleo thought they were lovely and is asleep on them right now. She did stay off long enough for a photo.
