No pain no gain

Feeling almost smug right now as it is just past noon and I really did achieve my 10,000 steps for the day. I was actually aiming for that amount before breakfast but I would need to walk almost twice as far as I have been doing the past three days. As I am almost crawling on hands and knees on my way up the hill to home each day and feeling the pain all the way it may be a week or two before I achieve that goal. I am hoping that all this pain means more than no gain but some actual losses of those pesky kilos and an ever increasing supply of energy. Sadly there is no evidence to support either hope but I shall press on with my self renovation project.

I am concentrating on the carpets I began last year. These will be completed during the next couple of weeks. I have almost finished the edging on one. Trying a new way this time and I am not entirely happy with the results but I am going to accept the less than perfect outcome. If anyone out there knows a foolproof method of completing a mini rug I would love to learn it.

Here is the almost complete rug no. 1
