Thanks for the comments on Emma (DD) she loves sewing and ran to get some fabric and tried to put it under the needle and was screaming "I sew too!!!" and she was standing on the petal

I did use one when I was really little. My great grandmother had one (need to be refreshed, but I bet it's like riding a bike, it'll come back)

I know she needs a new shuttle cover for over the serial number, a belt and a good cleaning, but everything else works fine. I'm happy with it!

I would assume using a treadle is exercise since you have to use your legs to move it. If you start to lose and build up your legs muscles let us know. I will run out and get myself a treadle. I always wanted one that would be a great excuse to have one. Too bad I don't have the money or the room for one............sighhhhh........but still let us know about your legs.

Yep, it is a leg work out, I remember my great-grandmother and grandmother being really well toned.

Now to get the belly fat down. I am down 4 pounds so far though.

45 more pounds to my ultimate goal.

4 lbs that is great well after eating crap I don't think I lost much AGAIN!

I don't like being sick and usually am very healthy; however, when I do get sick, I really get sick!! I was in bed for 5 days and just am now getting back my energy.

Edie, I did go to Walmart yesterday and bought the Leslie Sansome tapes. My 4 yr old GD and I were exercising to the CD yesterday and it seems like I will like it. She also has a little yoga on the CD I bought which I love.

I have been working on a crochet project for my 4 yr old GD. I am making her a swing coat which is just adorable. When I finish, I will post it on the thread. I have the 2 fronts and the back done -- now on to the sleeves, etc.

I have also been quilting a little. Just can't seem to get into it right now. I feel more like crocheting and probably because it's been so cold.

Anyway, prayers to all of you who are suffering right now and Love you.
Donna G.

Good for you. I just finished. I do it twice a day. Am feeling terrific! Went down two slack sizes too. Edie

I am 5'3" and I'm supposed to be 115-120. How ridiculous is that? I was 115 when I got married 50 yrs. ago.

Tru,
I made your chocolate mousse pie for dessert tonight. The s/f one with cool whip and pudding mix.

Cooked a roast and brown rice with beef broth and green beans, brussell sprouts.

Having a good day organizing, but boy, am I tired!

I am feeling puney tonight. Upset tummy big time. I am so nauseated, I wish I could puke. I think I would feel better. I hate feeling like this. I think I will be going to bed very early tonight.

I hope you all have a good weekend and the ones of you that have been puney, I hope you are feeling better. Sandy
