Sorry

Okay, I didn't do anything yesterday except walk and read. I did start working on a hybrid lace bracelet, but I just didn't get far enough to even take a progress picture. I know I need to find a bit more of a balance between the moving and the lace making, but I think I'm still in the over-correcting phase. I'm sure it would all be easier if I did have orders that needed making because then I'd have to make time for both, but since that's not the case, the fitbit and moving is winning.

Hopefully something good will happen in my shop over the weekend that forces the issue. Otherwise I'll just power read through another few novels while walking through the house. At least I won't be sedentary anymore. That's something, right?

Weekend Recap

No sales over the weekend to keep me busy, so I focused on other things. Last weekend I got a fitbit hr for Mother's Day. I call it my new electronic overlord and I've been trying to please it with movement since I first put it on my wrist. It's funny because you'd think something as simple as tracking steps, stairs climbed, heart rate, and a few other things couldn't possible have any bearing on how active you are, but that little wristband is pretty useful. Since I stay at home and my hobbies and job pretty much have me sitting all day, this reminder to get up and move is great.

I spent much of the weekend adjusting some of my more sedentary behaviors to comply with the overlord. For instance, while I spent time reading and knotting on the Armenian lace doily, I did so while perched on an exercise ball instead of cozy on the couch. I've also started the habit of just going up and down the stairs when I have the time and taking longer walks when we have the time to go out. I've got a ways to go before I feel like I'm actually healthy, but if I can tat, read, and knot while balancing on an exercise ball instead of passive on the couch, I think I'll stick with it.
