Day 7 is for my Grandma Muir, she passed away when I was 14 years old. She was the one who introduced me to sewing, something that I grew to love and cherish. She taught me to take care of myself and to take care of my home.
She called herself the mean grandma, which is my fault. When I was little, maybe 3, I was eating a cookie at her counter. I wanted to get down and play with my cookie, every time I did she would tell me to eat my cookie there. The last time she paddled my butt and I said "My nice grandma lives a long ways from here!" So from then on she was the mean grandma. But she was never that mean to me. I loved her dearly.
She was a brave woman who battled breast cancer and later past away of pneumonia after her body couldn't fight it any more. She was a huge part of my life, taught me many life lessons.
She would give me shopping points every time she came over and my room was clean and my bed was made. I think that is why I always have to have a nice presentation in my home. Because now she is always watching.
We went on a shopping trip every year for school, easter outfits, and my birthday. This was my favorite thing to do growing up. I was the only girl so I got one on one time with her and enjoyed every minute of it. Everytime I am shopping I think of her telling me "One day your going to be shopping without me and miss that I was here to hang up your clothes after you tried them on." I think of that every time I am trying on clothes. Except now there is not alot of clothes that fit me so hanging them up is not much of a chore.
Not anymore, next time I got shopping I will miss my grandma because there will be nothing I can't try on.
Tomorrow is for you grandma. My Fitness goals will be lower because it is the Sabath day and I take that as a day of rest so I will do just 1 hour of cardio, burn 2800 calories and walk the 9000 steps. Also I will eat healthy and eat my 1800 calories.
Thanks grandma for all my wonderful memories of you.
XOXO
