It's been three months since my emergency C-section, and almost two months since Julien passed away. Since his death, I decided the least I could do was get healthy and lose weight. So far I've lost 7 lbs and joined Weight Watchers. Today I joined a gym! I can't believe I actually worked out today and it wasn't soooo bad. It's weird because four years ago I was working out hard core almost every day but that's just the problem. I've got to do things in moderation otherwise I get burned out and loose interest in it.
I'm thinking that my schedule will be work out Monday, Tuesday and Friday. On Thursday's I have yoga, plus it's on the way to my LYS. Oh and Wednesdays will be Knit night at Knit Happens. So, there you have it. I've allowed myself to do fun things while still focusing on my ultimate goal of losing weight. I've got to do this.
And now from my awesome secret pal, I present you my first package:
I got a great handmade card, awesome DPNs (check out the gorgeous sock point protectors), and last but not least two skeins of DGB Confetti yarn. Thank you secret pal in Canada!
My weekend began on Friday with a trip to the Eastern shore of Maryland. The DH and I went to Easton and St. Michaels for a day of touring. Best of all I got a great weaved bag, and of course yarn! Then the real work had to begin Saturday...we began our project of nailing down hardwood floors. Great! I'll have to post pics when we're done but for now I've got make dinner. See ya!
I am so sorry for your loss. I wish you much peace and continued strength. Your plan to lose weight and get healthy is inspiring.
I'm so glad you got it! I hope it cheered you up a little...
Thanks for the compliment on the dolls. I love making them and I have gotten lots of help from Laura at www.poormissfinch.com. Send me your address and I will gift you the doll I am finishing right now.
YOU HAVE BEEN RAOK'D
