So yesterday was the 2nd day this week I've made it back to the gym. I know small victories but a bad day at the gym beats not going at all. I did a similar routine to Monday though I probably pushed it a bit too hard on the bench but meh, I need to work. A treadmill was not open so I hit a weird elliptical hybrid for cardio. I made it 12 minutes before I was jelly so I think that is good. Again, not trying to kill myself this week. I usually avoid ellipticals because they make my hips hurt something fierce but this one did not...the only thing it did do was turn my feet numb so meh.
Got done and headed to knit night where it was a good time. A gal had finished a "raw edge" quilt that was faboo. Its very shabby chic and will fray on the edges as its washed. I also like how she didn't do the block border on the top edge and well the block border is just neat too. ( See pict here: )
I worked on the afghan.....I seriously am sick of it. I realized I have more baby stuff to make for Dana and others and I'm going to do things versus blankies I think. The last two blankets have not worked well for me in timeline and I hate being frustrated when working on a gift. Its working out well but yeah, I craft for pleasure, not for pain in my ass.
I am to heel flaps on my purple sock and my MIL's crazy sock. I have the undying urge to cast on 2 shawls and need to finish the projects on the needles. I think I also need to get another set of Signatures so I can do my socks 2 at a time. But I must do what I have on first and then start new things. Which means I'm going to push through said current things and get them done. I'm 4 months late on my MIL's socks and yeah.
But on things I am actually accomplishing is eating better, not drinking alcohol during the week (this has been hard due to the work stress) and maintaining high protein/lower carb ratios. My breakfasts have been toast with a 2 egg omelet with spinach/spices/feta. I'm doing smaller portions and I'm not drinking as much coffee. That one is hard...its my go to comfort food. So yesterday I had a cup of green tea to tied me over until the gym. Small steps towards good rewards.
This weekend will involve gaming, sewing, housework and tax prep. Exciting but should be good.
