Monday Updates

Better late than never right.

Okay its going to be short and sweet today.  I am in the middle of getting ready for my sister in laws yard sale, cleaning out my closet and getting rid of all my now too big clothing, and getting ready for a craft show coming up in late march.

Only lost 2 tenths of a pound this week, but at least its a loss (i blame the superbowl snacks)
so totals are as listed
92.6 pounds left to lose
8.35 miles walked leaving 270.29 miles to go
64,855 steps taken according to my fitbit (best $140 ever spent) leaving 2610462 steps to go.

Thats it for now.

Projects Stalled

Okay, so I have hit a designer's block in respects to the hooded cowl I am trying to make.  It happens.  It isn't the first time I've hit a snag, and I'm certain it won't be the last.  I have found over the years that the best way to get past the block, is to put the project away, and work on something else.  Which is actually great, because a neighbor has orders some fingerless gloves for her son and daughter-in-law.  So I will get those cranked out, put a little extra cash in my pocket, and pick the hooded cowl project back up when I finish. 

I am also getting ready for a yard sale at my sister-in-law's house on the 10th of February.  This is also great, because I have a ton of "fat" clothes that I need to get rid of.  If they aren't hanging in my closet, then I can't be tempted to gain the weight I have lost to date back on.  And of course if I can get them sold, I can buy new smaller sized clothes, if I don't spend it all on yarn and craft books of course.  I usually have good luck at her yard sales with hanging dish towels with crocheted tops, and cotton cup cozies as well, so I need to get a few of those done as well.

On the plus side, I have managed to get in at least 30 minutes of daily exercise everyday this week.  Hopefully it will be reflected when I weigh in Monday morning. 

Well time to get started on those gloves, they won't make themselves.
