Back Again! - January 26, 2012

Good morning all!
Today is the second day of my new resolution to blog! I'm very excited about this endeavor and hope you enjoy reading about my life!

Tonight is Open Knitting at Woolly Lamb! www.woollylamb.com I really enjoy my Thursday nights; friends, wine, snacks and of course, knitting! What more could someone want! I'm excited because I think I'll start on our new "crack project" - Skeleton Skull Cap from Ravelry ravelry.com tonight. The reason we call them "crack projects" is because Brigitte will bring a pattern to our attention and everyone wants to do it so we call these "crack projects" - we HAVE to make them and more than one! My youngest son was very excited about it so I'd like to make it for him ASAP. Picture to follow soon.

I also have a book that was loaned to me by someone in the office, "Microsoft Office Specialist Study Guide." I plan to review it regularly and possibly purchase it so I can study for my own edification. I also entertain the idea of possibly taking the exam to become a Certified Microsoft Office Specialist! This is something I've really wanted to pursure in the back of my mind for a long time and I have a great desire to do so this year! Wish me luck!

Signing off for today. Please be sure to do a kindness for someone today - you'll be surprised by their reaction! Maybe they will pass it forward!

Weight Watchers

I'm going to tell everyone that I now weigh 247 .4 lbs. I am 52 years old and am 5 feet 6.5 inches tall. My goal weight is 150 pounds. Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life. I start Weight Watchers.

After I saw a picture of my self taken yesterday at the Woolly Lamb Yarn Studio Third Annual Fashion Show, I realized that I truly need to lose weight. If not for my health then for my self esteem. I made this beautiful top as well as the shawl but all I see is my fat self in it. I hate the way I look and the best way to change this feeling is to lose weight. I'm lucky because my DH is also going to WW with me. We're planning to rejoin the Community Center and actually use it!

I'll update this blog as often as possible, but definitely weekly to chronicle my weight loss. Hopefully this will encourage me to keep up the good work. I also joined the Ravelry.com Weight Watchers Group for support and encouragement.

Wish me luck!
