It's finally feeling like spring again!

It's monday and the sun was shining! I really hope that spring is here to stay! This snow every week has gotten really old! I want to get out in the yard and start getting some of that work done but lately everytime I have a day to start, the weather decides not to cooperate!

My 2 goals for today: 125oz of water and all my fruits and veggies (I have been lacking in this area lately!)

Today's sumary~
Water: 84oz so far
Pts eaten:29/27Fruits and Veggies: 3 - fell short. Challenge carries over to tomorrow!!

Time to refocus

The last few weeks have been pretty crazy and I need to stop and refocus. My next phase of staying on facus will bring me here daily. I will post daily in regards to my workouts, eating, downfalls and successes of the previous day.

yesterday... coming off of a busy weekend with Darirn's birthday party, pizza, dining out, starting spring cleaning and shopping for new jeans, it is time to stop and refocus!

Water: 119 oz.
Pts eaten: 23.5

Exercise: nothing structured, but did some walking around the mall while shopping for new jeans.

Daily Discovery: Erberts and Gerberts Chili. Ok, not a NEW find, but was finally able to figure out the pts for the Chicken Chili and I was excited to find that it is only 4pts per cup! We picked up a bucket of it at lunch yesterday when we were heading to the mall, so I will be eating some of that for lunch again today!! WooHoo!!!

Tomorrow's plan: Workout in morning at Y (cardio plus strength), Eye Appt, few errands, Running Club with Darrin after school. No sweets, 125oz water, 5 AP's, total 1.5 miles run between Y and Runnign Club.

Over the weekend I also discovered that my body is definetly not use to having Pizza Hut pizza anymore! Friday night I had 1 silce of cheese lovers pizza and a slice of pepperoni lovers and it did not agree with my stomach later! Not sure which one it was that did it, ot maybe it was both. Thinking that i will stay away from the pizza in the future!

Knitting Project 2

The new project is coming along. I decided to do a knit tank top with some awesome yarn that I found at Patti's Yarn shop over on the east side of town. After knitting and ripping, then knitting and ripping some more I think I finally got the pattern figured out! And the scary thing, it was not a difficult pattern to begin with~ I was making it harder than I needed to!

The back is now finally just about half way done ~ everything seems to be going a little faster now that I have my brain working the right way on the project! I was making things way more difficult that they need to be!

I finally had a chance to stop at Loops and Links in DePere! What a great little shop! I will definitely be heading back there again! I found so many different yarns that I would love to add to my stash to use later, but I need to hold myself back sometimes so that I don't buy too much right away without a project in mind! I don't want my yarn stash to turn into the scrapbook stash that I have upstairs - tons of stuff and no ambition to do anything with it!! One of these days I will pull all of that back out and finish some of those scrapbooks!!

I did find my next project though!! Darrin has decided that he wants to new hats. One, he selected as just a simple stocking knit hat and the other he wants a Jester Style hat similar to the fleece one that he has now. BUT I found an awesome pattern online this morning for a Shark Hat (Thanks Allison for creating this!!!) I am going to bounce that pattern off of him when he gets home from school and see what he thinks! Then maybe once I get that one finished, maybe I will attempt a smaller one in a baby size for Jim and Jen's baby!
