Fitness Friday #2

This week was harder than last week for whatever reason.  I had a lot of errands to run right after work, which is the best time for me to work out.  On Monday I got an email from the library saying I had a bunch of books weeks overdue and I was like, WTF LIBRARY, YOU DIDN’T TELL ME THEY WERE DUE! I usually get an email from them saying they’re due in two days. Anyway, having to rush home and find those books to return them so I didn’t have to pay more than the $21 I wound up paying sort of set the aggravated tone for the week. Tuesday I had something else I had to do, Wednesday I had a long work day because I had a meeting, Thursday I can’t remember what stupid thing I had to do, but every day I didn’t get home till almost six (I know, whiny, whatever. If I leave work on time I’m home around 4:45 and done with my work out by 5:45 or 6, not starting at 6).

HOWEVER, I still managed to get in at minimum 31 minutes on the Wii Fit every day I had scheduled it. So, good for me.

Food-wise, I didn’t do particularly well, but I’m not starting on that phase until January, when I will detox with two weeks of Atkins after New Year’s.  I’m just going to go on the way I have been but with more fruits and vegetables and more milk. I bought a gallon of milk. Let’s see if I drink it.

I like milk, I just don’t seem to drink it all. Meh.

Anyway, so week 2 was a minor success, all told. I’m down about 4 pounds since starting this on 10/19.

Now to have some tomato soup for dinner and then knit on my latest project, a Liesl, and it ACTUALLY FITS, which is nice.  I’ve never really made a sweater that fits before – they’ve all had something wrong with them before. I haven’t made a sweater since 2007, so I must be out of my mind, since I don’t really like making sweaters – I prefer working with fingering weight yarns and I don’t have the patience to knit a sweater out of little yarn.

It occurs to me that I still haven’t shown the Lacunae socks that I finished for myself like two months ago. I’ll take pictures of that tomorrow when the light is better.
