It rained, and two kiddos left for the day (and night), and when that happens.....
I opted for "crochet" porch time and got these cute granny round dishcloths finished. They are dishcloths, but can be used for pot holders or doilies as well. I nice way to use up scrap yarn.
As for the exercise journey of Hubby and I, we are back to the gym. The entire family too. I had not weighed myself from last year (believe or not), but the pants tell all. They were getting tight. I am up 8 pounds from losing my 25 last year, but have already shed about 2 of those. I don't think that is too bad, considering I kept most of it off for a year.
Hubby is losing faster, but has more to lose too. My goal is to walk 3 miles a day. I figure, if my older two kids can sleep on rocks all night in the rain, and sleep in filth and sweat, then I can walk a measly 3 miles and get in shape. We worked our chest the other day at the gym, and I can barely hold my coffee cup up without strain and pain. But. All I think about now is the kids. No complaining here.
Today is another day working in the garden(s). If I get out there and find it's too wet yet, I won't complain about that extra porch time I get.
Forgot to mention.....we roasted a chicken last night and used the leftover rhubarb BBQ sauce. Yum! It's awesome on chicken too.

Porch time. What a nice sound that has. It may be quilt room time for me as the rain has started already this morning, should go all day with HEAVY rain forecast for tomorrow. Time for my wood working muscles to recover!
I'm off to walk this morning. Nice and cool here 61...I think the North has moved SOuth! LOL!
I did have my dishcloths done, but had to sew in all the ends yesterday. After I took the photo, I saw that missed the first one, ha ha!
aCCKKK!!! I need to lose the weight and get healthy.
I like the wash cloths-- I have so many scraps to do something with-and it's so hot. I can't find myself being sedentary right now, when I don't exercise regularly. I'll probably save all that for the fall. :)
Glad the gym is good for your family. We're not gym people. :/
--have a peaceful weekend, Pat
I'd like the recipe for those fire starters too, if you wouldn't mind sharing it.
The weather has cooled down here too, makes working in the garden a lot more agreeable.
Also, I've lost about 18-20# since CHRISTmas, basically trading chewing ice chips for less Chips and Cheetos, and I've kept it off, along with keeping my diabetes number generally below 125-135 per day (when it was in the 170-185 per day at the end of last year. Yipee!!!
Try it - ice chips!!!
God bless.
