My oldest daughter, who knows her antiques, was shaking her head no, so I left it. My Leader only needs a good cleaning and she will sew. Finding the longer needles will be an issue. I'm hoping treadling will help with my legs. Sew and get healthier. What more could I ask? It should certainly burn some calories. Actually, the machine already sews. I just don't want to give her a workout without a cleaning. She came from S Dakota years ago and has not been used since.
I am off to walk the dogs in the rain. It's not a heavy rain and it's not cold, so it's no biggie.
Good planning, Missy. I like the hot V-8. I wish I could get it low sodium. Add some extra spices. Cayenne ups your metabolism and burns calories.
Well...I did have a 1" x 2" piece of cake. I took tiny bites and put my fork down between each bite. I swished it in my mouth and savored every morsel. It made it so that I really enjoyed the cake. I made a decision that that is how I will eat once I am able to eat solid food after my surgery.
Tomorrow I am going to the gym and then shakes all day. I really want to have another couple of pounds gone. Does that make me greedy? Should I just be satisfied with what I have lost already?
*sigh*
I am worried that somehow in the last 36 hours I have gained back the weight I have lost. I just HAVE to be the same or less by Wednesday. Monday is my last chance to weigh here so I am gonna do all I can tomorrow to get the exercise in and all my shakes consumed.
This whole thing is just freaking nerve racking. *sigh*
I'm sorry I am bringing my paranoia and obsession over this whole thing to the list day after day. It is just such a life changing huge event in my world and the good Lord knows I want it and need it.
