Today

Filed under: Health

October 17, 2007

Today I took a tumble down the stairs into the Chrysler building landing on my knees. They are kind of sore now and I didn’t get to work out. I left work early though, I want to get some ice on them and put them up so hopefully they won’t be too sore tomorrow.

When I got up, I had to stand there for a few minutes ’cause my heart was pounding.

I missed telling you about Vermont, M., S. and I went there for a weekend. We stayed at the hugging bear inn. Here is a picture and a video.

I have to go get the kids now.

Colorblock blanket

Filed under: Crafts

December 28, 2006

Here is my current project. It is a colorblock blanket. I had all these balls of yarn, all the same yarn, but different colors. Its a cotton acrylic blend so it is really soft. I read about this blanket in a book or magazine, but didn’t really want to buy the book or magazine. So I took the yarn and started knitting. This blanket is knitted from the center out. The first block I knitted was yellow. Then I attached the orange and knitted an orange stripe, then I picked up stitches along the edge and knitted another orange stripe, so the orange is the shape of an L. I kept doing that all around. I have no idea how big this thing will be when it is done, I am just knitting until I run out of yarn. Actually, I bought more yarn so it would be bigger, but I couldn’t find the same brand, so now I have more colors! As you can see, I started it in a garter stitch, but decided it would look better in a stockinette stitch, and it does. So if I do this again, that is how I will knit it from the start.

And if I don’t have enough yarn for another block, I am knitting washcloths!

Tuesday Progress Notes

Filed under: Crafts, Health

December 12, 2006

I made it to 18, the last 4 in a bowl of ice cream. The website says it is 5 points, but since I had 6 activity points I don’t really care. What makes me mad is I had this all typed out and the blog shut down on me. Now I have to retype it and it is difficult because I am trying to type with white gloves on! I have white gloves on because my fingers are all cracked so I put Neosporin on the tips. Anyway, when I climb the stairs in my building (work) I can make it to the 8th floor before I have to rest. I posted to that thread I mentioned in an earlier post in this blog and told them I was wearing my “skinny” jeans. Suzzy congratulated me. At All Sport I weighed 132.25. I couldn’t weigh myself at home because they were having the book study. Tomorrow is Nick’s concert.

This is a necklace I designed and made. There are some things I don’t like about it. If I ever make another I will fix the things I don’t like.

New WW program

Filed under: Crafts, Health

December 11, 2006

It is finally here, the new WW program. I now have only 18 points to eat a day. Today, I ate 16. HA HA HA. Well, I don’t feel as bad as if I had to eat 20. I reset my profile to show a goal of 110. I think that is reasonable. At my height I can go down to 107. Anyway, my new pedometer shows I walked 10,631 steps today. I earned 7 activity points and drank 64 ounces of water. I told M.S. my pedometer had died so she sent Fred down to give me her old one. He knocked on my door and said, “Bella, I have a speedometer for you! No its a step-om-eter.” He is so cute.
