I'm up and moving! Vacuuming done! Did some stretching, one and two touch those toes! Yesterdays sew-a-thon has left me a little stiff this morning, been up since 3 because of it. So a little of the snake that bit me. Will have the top finished today! Just a little reminder to change those needles and clean out the bobbin area before we start today. Everytime you get up to empty the bladder stretch, touch those toes(or knees)! Arms over the head....and stretch...Dont it feel good!? I think we get so caught up in sewing that we forget about us. Prevention on us and our machines, one wont work without the other. Turn the radio on...(micheal jackson) "ABC...Its as easy as Do-re-me..
Ok now sit in sewing chair grab the seat on the left side with both hands and twist your upper half to the left...stretch....hold it....lets do the other side.....stretch...feels good. Ok now put the peddle to the metal and lets get these stitches-a-stomping! Have a great day! Happy Stitching! |

Oh my I wish I could get off this board and do those stretches.
This is sooooo addicting. Kids have a 2 hr delay, it's COLD out there. Then maybe I'll get something done. |
Come on get up! I dont wanna here your excuses, excuses are like my bladder, cant hold water!...LOL It takes as much time as lifting that cornbread to your mouth( thats what I'm having for breakfast here in a little bit). Ok sitting at your puter....put that left let up on the desk...straighten out...thats it...it may not be straight..but darn it feels good to get the blood moving! Darnit...I gotta resew some blocks...you girls keep stretching even if you cant pull yourself away from the puter.
|
Thanks for the morning push! <-----waving arms over my head:)
|
Not sure where you get all of your energy first thing in the morning ... but could you send some my way, please???
Happy Stitching or Sewing today everyone whenever you have a chance. All a great day :) |
GOOD MORNING to you! :) I'm a big stretcher too - especially in the morning and often throughout the day.
When sewing I have my ironing board and cutting area away from my sewing machine, so I'm hardly sitting for long lengths of time. I use a clock radio that has the 1 HOUR sleep timer on it. I press it - sew during that hour - and when the radio shuts off I do something else for a few minutes... flip a load of laundry, run upstairs for food or drink, walk the tread mill for a few minutes...you get the idea. I agree - use it or lose it! |
Ok, Ok, I'm up and moving! Thanks for the motivation.
|
You ladies are insane...but I love it :-)

I have a sew day today so I'll be moving right on out the door. I love my sewdays.

Gran of 6, not laughing at all I so glad to hear that your keeping on the move. I try to get outside everyday for at least 2 minutes. Its easier during the week. On the weekend honeys home and...you know men. I just spend time with him. I always park in the back of the lot no matter where I am. Before I lost my job they would make fun of me because I would park in the very last row. From my car to my area was about a 1/4 or more. Rainy day or not, I park in the back. Well I think I'll bundle up now and go out for a walk in the woods, the temp should be up to about 20 by now.
Have a good day ya'all! |

Thanks for the inspirational pep talk !! Does laughing at this thread count as cardio ?? ;)
With todays bonus of more progress on a charity quilt. Think I'll skip the coffee and go for the Dr Pepper with a water chaser !! Burr... I feel for you all in the rough weather right now, stay safe and warm !! |
I am fast approaching 79 and can't put the full palms of my hands on the floor, but can up to the big knuckles. Does that half qualify? Now just watch, some 90 yr. old is gonna come along and tell us that she still does cartwheels.
