Storm #2

It's a winter wonderland. Had a lot of fun playing in the snow. Coming to our rescue (again!), our nice neighbor down the street. The whole driveway and walk this time. Still had to shovel this morning before work. But at least, it wasn't the full amount.

My weight loss saga

I kind of knew my diet app would get the best of me. I was pretty good at entering what I ate and the exercise that did. But been slacking off for the past week. I need to motivate to keep it up.

Good news is we had 2 snow storm that I got an incredible workout with walking in the snow and shoveling out. So at least, I don't feel so guilty eating on those days.

Saturday's Snow

Got about 8" today. Just enough to make it fun. Went for walk in the woods (rutger's garden) and took some pictures of our snow.

Came back for rest and started the clean up. Our nice neighbor from down the street, came by with a snow blower and finished up what we didn't get to.

Rice bags

Got a whole bunch of rice bags from friend with a restaurant. I’ve been wanting to start a making up some bags, wallets and coin purse. Have a few ideas. Now just to get set up and making.

Here's pic of the bags pre-construction.

Maybe this can turn into to something.

On my road to 15 less

Yesterday was the first day to lose the 15 lbs that I’ve trying to get rid of for years. This time I’m doing the logging in what I eat and exercise. I hope it works.

Went for a walk/run for an hour yesterday in the rain. Wasn’t that bad but had big chinese dinner to celebrate a friends birthday that probably negated that exercise. Tonight’s exercise will be ab stuff and light weights and tomorrow I’m walking to the post office at lunch to pick up some flat rate boxes. (40 minutes total)

I think (I know) I to start exercise much more. I wish I could delete (or at least reduce) my stupid long commute. It is very hard to schedule exercise around it. Too bad, I can’t exercise while I drive home. How bad could it be--I could join the rest of the jackass on the road not paying any attention.

I also got an app to log my food and exercise. I was alway interested in my intake. I think I do a lot of boredom eating (stupid mini candies). Especially at work--wish it could be more consistent in busy-ness. A lot of hurry up and wait.

I’ll keep posting as I hope this will play a part in my weight lost.

Schaefer Bean

was gift to a skater friend of mine that did my PHF drawing. It's a recycled yarn project--it was formally a hat (one of my favorites) that got beat up. Always loved the colors.

He's felted and needed a bit of patching up, that's the frankenstein scarring on him--kind of goes with the skating lifestyle and living in Hoboken, NJ.

Mr. Handmade

is my biggest fan of the things I make. Felicity hat (It was suppose to be my slouchy hat), Morningside neckwarmer and mittens. He is also wearing some hand knitted socks from my sister.
