Week 50 I can not believe that I am so close in being finished with the Chief. Almost a year has gone by since I started working on him. I could have finished in 5 months like I did on the previous two Indians I stitched, all three are the same stitching size. I just took my time and didn't push myself on Chief Red Cloud, it's ok cause I have enjoyed myself. Read the previous post to find out where I have been. . I went and got weighed today, the first time since September and I have lost 52 pounds. YAY!!! I am calling the surgeon Monday and hopefully I can get an appointment soon with him. He wanted me to loose only 25 pounds to have surgery so I gave him 52 instead. YAY! I am so excited about that, and to think I am almost hernia free, pain free. I can't believe it. . I have been feeling so good lately that I have actually been walking both of the girls to the back of our lot. We have a fairly large backyard and the girls love to walk. Been taking one at a time cause they pull and want to go in their own directions, so by taking them one at a time I am actually walking it twice for me. It's ok as it gives me more exercise and strengthening my legs. . Guess who went into Hobby Lobby yesterday and walked all the way back to the cross stitch aisle. I was surprised that I could do that and it felt so good. I didn't have to stop and rest nor sit down back in the fabric area. YAY!! . I will try to take some photos of all the bloomings that are going on here. My lawn front and back has already been mowed once and is needing it again. Love this time of year. . Best go as I have a surprise to get kitted up, can't talk about it until it has been recieved which will be soon. Hope you have a great weekend and even a greater week ahead! Labels: cross stitch |
