If nothing else, I'd like to just do the crunches (without all the different variations) and maybe build up to 100. But, having her here is motivating as she encourages me to do them.<br /><br />Thank you; I think the pomegranate peel will be in the final selection. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-84119611602725470562019-01-04T12:10:14.463-08:002019-01-04T12:10:14.463-08:00Please will you send your daughter over to help wi...Please will you send your daughter over to help with decluttering my clothes?<br /><br />Wow, well done with the exercise.

Daughter had to push herself to complete 100 but I could only do 10! LOL! I compensated for that by doing 40 crunches and 10 of the arm exercises we did the first day (which are also meant to help tone the abs). My daughter said it was fine, that it all counted. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-21068965263203935242019-01-03T17:58:55.227-08:002019-01-03T17:58:55.227-08:00Congratulations on the weight loss, Marylynn!

O...60 cross body crunches! I'm very impressed. <br />One of these days I'm going to see how many I can do. My guess is probably 10.

I'm 5 foot 2 1/2 in. The end result was that I had to get rid of every single thing in my closet because nothing fit anymore. And things were hard to give up but they looked absolutely awful on me. I looked like a little kid in grown-up clothes. I feel so good at my current weight now that it was all worth it. I love Keto. My daughter provided most of the funds to buy a whole new wardrobe.

She'd ask me questions such as, "Do you like this? Do you like how you look in it?" Plus, she did all the physical work of pulling things out and putting them back! I just sat on the bed and had to make decisions and try on a few items; that's all. She'd make a great personal organizer, I think.

My daughter was very helpful with the closet sorting. I tend to rationalize keeping things, even when they don't fit too well or I don't like the style (usually, a gift from someone). But she encouraged me to donate those items. It was helpful to have another opinion about how I looked in certain clothes. <br /><br />Thank you! :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-61170190458565139562019-01-03T12:27:35.242-08:002019-01-03T12:27:35.242-08:00Thank you, Jules.

But, yesterday was the first time in over 5 years that I did any crunches, so I was glad to be able to do 60. I thought I might be sore today, but I am not, so that's a good sign, isn't it?<br /><br />I hope you find your pair of jeans!Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-25017714465209449032019-01-03T11:37:19.397-08:002019-01-03T11:37:19.397-08:00When I first started to scroll down onto the photo...When I first started to scroll down onto the photo of Dancer, I thought it was going to be a picture of your braided hair.

I need to begin some weight exercises, but not today. <br />Funny, I was in my closet last night trying to make decisions about what to keep and what to donate. Since I have been doing the keto thing my wardrobe has changed. I did a massive purge and got rid of all of my spring/summer clothes, then eliminated more than half of my fall/winter clothes. What is left are clothes that do not fit quite right, but are still wearable even though I do look a little frumpy most of the time. I have a charity truck coming for a Wednesday pickup and need to make some quick decisions about what I will actually wear vs. keeping it "just in case".Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-87110555763143547652019-01-03T05:45:41.913-08:002019-01-03T05:45:41.913-08:00You most certainly did have a productive day.... e...You most certainly did have a productive day.... exercising, baking, decluttering your closet, tending to the garden and personal care.
