public promise.... humor me... puleese.
6 Inspired Commentshappy saturday morning.... it's just 12:23 am here. i'm sitting on my laptop catching up on some emails that i didn't get to earlier. i can't believe another work week has come and gone. wow...
so this week was about many things for me. mainly it was a week to adjust to my son brett moving out. i can't believe my son is old enough to move away from home. he will be 19 in november and i am so proud of him and also very happy for him. i remember how exciting it was to move out on my own. him and 2 of his buds found an awesome house in the city with everything they could ever need. it comes at a pretty penny, but still it's awesome. i haven't actually seen it in person... bryce and i hope to go check it out tomorrow. bryce has been there and says its really nice. so in the morning i need to get up and at it and make some muffins etc to take along with us. i miss him so much, and it feels like something is missing here. and i still see him every weekday, cause he comes here for lunch...(he lives in the city, but works here in town)... cross your fingers for him.. he's hoping for a job in the city and has an interview coming up.
anyhow, to my title "public promise"..... i lifted weights today. i haven't done this in about 4 months. my biggest excuse was that brett had the air matress blown up in the rec room, which is where i lift weights, and it was too much of a pain to clear everything out of the way. but really it was just one of those things i let go. anyhow, i am making a public promise to lift weights 4 times/week. I am going to take some measurments tomorrow, because it's pretty much impossible to track weight lifting progress on the scale. wish me well. i will share my successes as i go. i just wanna feel stronger and "tighter"... ya know? so that's the main reason for my post... kind of funny. oh, if you are serious about getting stronger, check out cathe friedrichs weight lifting videos....wicked intense... really major workout. the one i am doing is slow and heavy and each work out is approximately 1 hour. today (actually yesterday i guess), was chest and back. and i'm pretty certain i will feel it tomorrow.
i'm working on my undercover design projects. i hope to reveal more soon. i will also have some ePatterns out in the next few weeks. due to the summer's craziness i had to put my video workshops on the back burner... but just temporarily. hopefully the fall will allow me time to get them up and running. i love the routine of fall. but i do not want to wish it here too quickly. summer is so short in the prairies.
hope your weekend is lovely... that you find some moments to dream ... remember "everyday holds the possibility of a miracle" ~ elizabeth david
til next time blogging friends.....

I have never been into lifting weights, seems like too much work to me;) I love swimming and paddling in the summer, that way I have fun and lose some weight.

hi Debbie
swimming and paddling sound awesome.
i find there is something empowering with weight lifting...when you are done you feel STRONG... i hike a lot.. about 6 miles a day. i love heading out onto the trail, especially with my doggy Andy and my niece (my brother's dog) Sophie.. haha...
I just finished weight lifting bis, tris and core, had a shower and i feel pretty darn good.
time to get back to work though... have a wonderful day! Kim
way to go girl! just getting back into some sort of walking routine myself and one just feels SO much better ... guess i won't be asking for any arm wrestling with you any day soon ... grin!
awesome post ~ looking forward to seeing what's new!

Good on you Kim, I make the same promises to myself and find many excuses to not do it. Me bad! LOL. Congrats on your son moving out, I remember wen my daughter first moved out and how hard it was. Now she lives in San Francisco and I only see her every few months, and then I have to share her with her boyfriend :o(
I am looking forward to your new patterns.

hey prairie girl... how's the walking going? i didn't walk on Tuesday or Wednesday. it was too hot for my little andy and so we both took some time off. tonight was much nicer. i walked with tara and sophie while andy visited across the street at grandma and grandpas. :)
hope things are well.. talk soon...
hi deb
omgoodness i can't imagine how i will cope if brett moves more than 30 minutes away. haha... but i guess somehow we adjust.
yeah, so far i am keeping my promise. i was yelling at the girl on the dvd tonight though. it was the leg and shoulder workout for 1 hr and 6 minutes. it's an awful, nasty workout.. but it's done for this week! wooo hoo! hopefully i can keep it up!
have a good night! Kim
