Extra Workout

 
I have had an exciting day!  The pink windmill quilt is finished.  Check.  I also got to use the longarm quilting machine to quilt the yellow quilt for the sorority raffle.  Wahoo!  It was so exciting and scary all at the same time.  I used a swirl pattern and at first the swirls were kind of squared, but about half way through the swirls were getting rounded.  It was so exciting!  I loved it!  I will hem the sorority quilt and it will be done.  Check.
I got up and first on my list today was workout.  I am so glad I can do it first thing in the mornings.  Several years ago one of my daughters was encouraging me in my workouts and bought me a sports bra.  She asked me recently if I'd ever worn it.  I fessed up and told her no I hadn't.  That was hard to do.  Well, today was the day new workout clothes and the sports bra.  The question was how do you get the dang thing on.  Over the head and then try to get into the rest or all in at once.  I decided to go head first then pull, tug, and yank it down in place.  Wow who invented these!  The new pants fit, but the tank was skin tight and a no go.  I had a great workout 10 minutes on the machine from hell, 10 minutes on the arm bicycle, 30 minutes walking, and 25 sit ups.  The workout didn't quit there because I discovered that getting out of the sports bra was another workout in itself.  Trying to pull that off over my head when I was hot, sweaty, and tired was a new experience.  Yikes!
