I'm so sore.........

Today we did a "real" hike. Straight up the side of the dam on the lake.
Actually, it wasn't straight up, it was zig zagged up the mountain. However, it was all still up hill.
Once at the top, we walked across the damn and back down the other side. We figured it was about 2 miles and it took us 45 mins. Me, mom and TJ. I'm so sore!

I have been sewing, just not much to show. I'm selling the capri sun bags, coin purses and wallets like hot cakes. So, that is really keeping me busy. I've recently found something that will take the goo off from where the straw is attached to the pouch, so that takes times as well.

This picture is my new profile picture. It's me and mom at the Moses H. Cone Plantation house on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It's a beautiful place, sits on 3600 acres and has 25 miles of walking trails. It was much cooler on this mountain today than ours.

Mom is loosing weight as well, she's lost about 35 lbs, my total as of today is 43 lost.

GO US!

  12. How wonderful to be able to spend time with your mom. And - HIGH FIVE - to both of you on the weight loss. It is so hard to do. I'm struggling to keep off what I have lost, and so haven't had any success losing more in the past year.

  15. So much good news in one post!

    I can't believe I have never walked across the Dam. Had a friend in high school that swore he went through the Spillway. No clue what he was smoking!

    Love the Moses Cone house too. Aren't the views amazing? Love the picture of you and your Mom! Congrats to you both for your hard work. The benefits are showing!

    And selling your fabulous crafts too! Awesome!
