Today is the first day that I started a walking routine. For Christmas I received a book called Walking, written by Mark Fenton. This is not a New Year's resolution. I have never been able to keep one. I have gained so much weight lately and for some reason it has not been easy to lose. I have always been fortunate enough to be able to keep weight off, but now weight just stays. I think it is an age thing, whatever. The thing is I don't know how to diet. I have always been a person that went to the gym reguarly and have been able to keep toned. I did not renew my membership earlier in the year because I could not stand the gym's GM, not to mention that the gym was just turning to shit. I thought no problem, I have a gym setup in my garage, yeah right, the so called gym is now a clothes hanger for the boyfriends clothes and anything else he can manage to put on it. This by the way, this has pissed me off a lot, but that is another story. So all I have to do is walk six days a week. Seems easy enough, so I'm giving it a try. Today I walked for 45 minutes at a medium pace.
As for knitting, I started an easy lace scarf. I love the pattern. I found the pattern on Ravelry. I have all this yarn that I got from a thrift store. Most of the yarn was acrylic, there was some cotton yarn and some nice wool yarn. Since I am still new to knitting I like to use the thrift store yarn to practice, practice, practice. I had some Lion Brand Jiffy Mohair yarn and wanted to do something with it, so I went to Ravelry and entered the yarn and searched for a pattern. What a cool way to get rid of yarn and at the same time I'm learning new things. Yea for Ravelry!
