The one thing I haven't had much time for in the past year is exercising. I've been trying to get some done recently, it hasn't been much, just one or maybe two days a week. Then, hace dos semanas (two weeks ago),I sent John a text letting him know I had gone running on the treadmill. I always like to tell him because he is so supportive and encouraging when I do have a chance to workout. Then, John came up with a brilliant plan. He made working out a competition between the two of us. John and I are competitive junkies, so this was perfect.
Tuvimos que decidir (we had to decide) we would judge this competition. We couldn't judge it based on the number of miles ran or how fast it was done because I would be at a disadvantage. We finally figured it out. Decidimos (we decided) that the person that exercised the most days en la semana (during the week) was the winner. The loser would then have to do something for the winner. So, the first week we did it, John won and he asked me to do a cleaning of our bedroom-dusting, folding away clothing, vacuuming, etc (we usually do this together every week). I won this last week. He owes me a day of exercising together-running, or yoga, or a Nike workout. He didn't like losing. I have to say this wonderful. I don't mind losing because at least it gets me out doing something-even the week I lost, I had at least exercised for a few days. I'm already seeing benefits from this. I'm sore (I love it!), I feel better, have more energy and am eating a lot better. Thank goodness for competition!
Otra cosa (another thing) that I've been doing a lot of lately is crocheting. This is last on my daily to do list, and sometimes it doesn't get done and that's OK. But here are a few of the projects that I've done:
An infinity scarf (not the best pictures, sorry about that):
And a to match:
I just finished the body of a pair of owl gloves for Olivia (purple, of course), I just have to make the eyes and beak. Then I'm going to make her a matching cowl (she already has the owl hat, but it's not purple, so I might make her a new one to match). I'll pictures when I'm done. For Lucas, he's got some slippers (that I'm still deciding on the right pattern) and possibly a tiger or Lion beanie (still haven't decided which one I like the most). He pensado (I've thought) of selling some of my stuff, what do you think?
3 Cartas de Amor:
That is a good deal you have going on with John. Sounds motivating as well! That is nice he helps you clean every week! You are a lucky woman.
Loved all the crocheted stuff you have made. You should definitely start selling it! So cute.
I would totally buy your stuff if you sold it-a good way to make money too. That scarf is so cute! I love the color. And those gloves and hat!! Amazing. Keep up the good work with the workouts-if I never had to clean again I would work out 7 days a week, twice a day, haha.
Love seeing your projects. And hearing what is up. Good motivation for exercise. I like it.
