Quiet Day

I tried to stay and work in the office today. (after the set was pushed in) There was NO heat, so I left. I am bummed because I really wanted to work today. Now I have had the laziest of days.

Looking Great in 2008

Gained three. Auuugggggghhhh!

Looking Great In 2008 Report

I forgot to report in last week. Last week I lost one pound. I had gained .5 the week before, so I suppose I lost .5 pounds really. This week I lost 3.5 pounds. My total so far? I have lost 8.5 pounds! This is huge for me! I am 21.5 pounds away from my goal for this challenge. Pluggin away I am!

Looking Great In 2008 Update

This past week carried to many buffet dinners. Next time that I feel like Chinese food, maybe I should get take out. I gained 1/2 of a pound. Next weeks weigh in will be better!

Looking Great In 2008 Weekly Update

I lost 1.5 pounds this week. I'm happy with that, but I sure am hungry today!

Ultra Weight Loss Brain Waves CD

Last night I listened to one of these CD's as I drifted off to sleep. Do you think that it is a coinsidence that I was starving all day long today? Hmmm...???

Walking

Well, I went for quite a walk today. It is so hot here. (high 80's) The I-Pod worked beautifully and kept me distracted from the heat factor. I am proud that I walked because I've had a headache all day and I still did it! It was about 3 miles in total. :-)

Looking great in 2008

I did it! I lost 3 pounds. I'm not sure how, but I'll take it! On another good note, I got music downloaded on my I-Pod. This will make walking a little more fun. Thank you Joe for giving me music!

Weekly update Looking Great In 2008

My focus this week has been to reduce the amount of sugar that I eat. This means no desserts and sweetner in my coffee. Now if I can get away from night time snacking I will be doing great! My goal for this challenge is to lose 30 pounds. I really would be happy to get that far in my weight loss journey. This week I did not lose any weight. I did not gain either. I will do better this coming week.

Going for a walk

I went for a walk last night. It was so nice to be out in the air with friends for company. I sure am enjoying the cooler weather for sure! Today I will be cleaning and organizing in my bedroom. Wish me luck!

Craftiness

I am having alot of fun making things for my newest nephew who is yet to be born. I made a Jacobs Ladder blanket for him and am currently working on a knitted sweater without a pattern. For real people, I need to use up some of my yarn stash. It is taking over my room!

Decision Time

Well folks, it is time to make a decision. I am going to join this group http://talesfromthescales.net/ for LOOKING GOOD IN 2008. (if they'll have me) I am really looking forward to being part of this group, and it will make me more accountable in my weight loss journey. I will post more about this in the future.

Another baby hat

I wish that I had a way to show you my projects (pictures) I can't, so you'll just have to use your imagination! I did make another hat to match the hat and blanket set that I mentioned previously. I am more happy with the size, and it should last the wee one through all of this cold weather. I just have to send it!

More crafting.

I made a baby hat to go along with the blanket that I made. It looks a little small, so I am going to make another one. It will have the same matching yarn to coordinate with the blanket, and be bigger. My new second cousin will have a hat for now, and one for when she is a little bigger!

Baby Blanket

I'm just about finished with a baby blanket that I have been working on. It just needs the final row added to it and the ends tucked in. I hope that my cousin and his wife like it! I think that it is pretty with the purple, pink, blues and green varigation.... ( They had a baby girl recently)

Shopping!

I bought the book Knitting For Peace yesterday. You can see it here:

My sister Joni, http://unioncenterknits.typepad.com/union_center_knits/ recomends this book as a must have, and I agree.... I have so many items partially finished, and can't wait to start a new project!

Happy New Year!

So everyone, did you make a New Year's Resolution? I did.... Get healthier.... That means lose some weight and excersise. It means taking better care of my spiritual self. It means getting rid of clutter. I seem to have alot of that!
