Enough

Enough lazying around, myy granny would never have accepted this. I still have tons to do, and can't just sit and knit all day long. Although I have started knitting a new hat;)

We'll go shopping in just 30 minutes, Princess has "ordered" cooked chicken and tigerbread every weekend so we'll go to Costco to get it, decent price and decent size.

Tonight we are also starting our exercise again, we haven't done anything since October so it's about time now. I have lot several kilos since then so it should be a bit easier to start up...I do remeber it was really hard work though. Good hard work mind you.

I guess this is all for today, have stuff to do, places to ge..;) Hugs.!

Week 3

Week three started today and so far I have only completed one letter this year, and I am not inpressed by myself. The goal is to write 150 letters this year and this is not going as I planned. So, the goal for the day is to finish a letter to Petra, and start on the next one that needs to be finished by Saturday, you all know that is my mailing day.

Just to remind myself...I LOVE writing letters and I love all my penpals!! Get a move on now, they can't wait for your letter forever!!!

Focus

I must have a bit more focus on my eating this next week! I haven't behaved as well as I should. And I am also VERY keen on starting my exercise, but I need to wait just a little while longer, because I might damage my muscle.

anyway. lunch is nearly ready and I am starving. Late on today we are getting our Tesco shopping delivered and we will be stocked up with food for the next week and a bit!

Yes yes

Yes yes, it's Saturday and we have been busy as usual. We were at this years first danceclass and I think Princess really enjoyed. And now  i know, her danceexam is on February 26 so I guess we better start practising at home every day so she passes it with flying colours.

While we were there the mailman came round with my new pencil...

A lime-greem Pentel Graph 1000, limited edition :) I love it! 

Also....husband suddenly started talking to me about a new phone for me...Vigin Media phoned about a good deal as we have been customers for such a long time...So....he is getting me a new phone!!

Apparently it's a HTC Wildfire, which is better than the one I have now..a Sony Ericsson I think.

So it has been a weird day for me, now stuff and new phone. This is not normal happenings for me. 

But I'll take what I get!!

 

Day 10.

Or is it 11? I am in doubt now...! Still, I have been pretty good to be honest, and this seems to go well. My weigh in was yesterday and i had lost 1.5 lbs, and that is 0.6 kilos and i think that is ok.

I really want to start exercising, but I can just yet. I know I told you about my chest infection, what I didn't know then was that the pain under my ribcage would continue and get worse. I can not stratch, bend, jump run or cough without it hurting,...ALOT, and it seems I have pulled (or something like that) a muscle in my diaphragm and it will take some time to heal...i haven't been to the doctor with this pain, although I did mention it to him last Thursday. I am not sure wheather I should bother him with this or not. one way or the other....I can't do alot of exercise and my weightloss will be slow until I can start moving again.

But hey ho, i can stay away from sweets and stuff like that eh?
Have a great day everyone!!

Already

Is it Tuesday already? How did that happen...?
I didn't go online all yesterday, I collected my Avon books, and I am telling you....the antibiotics are working...I don't cough as much, and I CAN hear again..BUT there is another problem....my ribcage, lung or whatever it is...it's so sore when I try to brathe in, and move about..can't even bend down to pick something up...If nothing happens that changes this...I thinkI should visit the doctor again..this is just so weird..!

It's kinds funny, I mean to feel like this, cause it rarely happens to me..I am never ill for more than two weeks...and now..I am approachind the end of the fourth week of not feeling well.

Anyway, that's me...I have been knitting abit though,..but only written half a letter! Must get back into it, although it's difficult to focus with this pain in the ribs..!

So..what is next? I have about one hour to do some knitting and then I will head for my bed...I need to get to bed early, would like to read maybe half an hour before turning the light off. Told you I wanted to read more this year! We are already in the second week of the year and I have only written one letter..think I will bring stuff with me tomorrow so I can start on one..making plans, making plans...!

Also, this is day 7 of my 100 day challenge...I nearly had a bag of crisps earlier today...managed to remember my challenge and stay clear..yay for me!!

Sunday

It's Sunday already, my goal for the day is to finish writing a letter to my dear friend Mari, and to knit a bit more!

i  have alreay started 4th repeat of ten, and hopefully today I will finish the 4th and start on the fifth repeat. I am kind of hoping to have it nearly finished by Wednesday because my plan is to get the wool to continue on my cardigan.

My cousin announced he is engaged, so maybe a wedding in a year or so..IF we're invited that is;) I kind of hope so, cause i'd love to show off the new me!  I am not new yet hahaha, but by summertime, I will be very different from what I am now!

Anyway, time to do the dishes and get some lunch!

Result

Yup, I went to the doc, told him about my cough and phlegm over the last 4 weeks, and now pain under the ribcage and loss of hearing...generally not too good these days..although  ~ Iam not actually feeling ill or anything, just a bit bothered.

So, doctor D. listened to my breathing, looked in my ears, took my temperature and looked down my throat.
The result is: Penicillin for a week, 3 times a day, and an inhaler for the wheezing in my chest. that I am to use 4 times a day untul I have stopped coughing.

These Asthma inhalers, yuck, not good tasting...I will be glad when I can put it away and never use it ever again hopefully! And honestly...i can#t wait to get rid of the catharr in my ears, cause I can't bloody hear!!!!

Aint it fun?

Tomorrow we have another day off, all I am going to do is to go out and deliver my Avon books, I don't have more than 10 books anyway so it will be quick. Hopefully I will get a few orders!

Success,kinda

I got weighed this morning, and the result was not too bad really.My goal was to not put on 5 lbs over the holiday and my weigh in shows that I put on 3.5 lbs.So it is really success!!

Also, my ear is still bothering me,so I have a doctors appointment in 35 minutes...hopefull doc will be able to give me something..!

colour

I am going to go and colour in my first heart...because I am going to bed in just a moment and I* want to be ready for my day two tomorrow, and I am feeling pretty good about it all.

Imagine 100 days...it will be a complete new habit and I am looking forward to it. Vell peepl, time for bed, c u all tomoz.

Day 1

Day one is nearly over, and I have done really well..I must admit that those pink smarties that I know is in the pink Smartie tube right in front of me are veeeery tempting...but I will not be led into temptation by anything or anyone..not yet anyway, hahah! Just another few hours and I can colour in my first little heart!

I don 't know how my weight will be, I mean how much I put on over the holidays...but honestly..I don't care that much because I know I am on the right way anyway. I will start the new years tracking on Friday and I will fill in my whole new trackbook..because Weight Wachers has the most gorgeous trackbooks out this year....and I WANT ONE!! Gotta finish the one I bought before Christmas though.

Anyway, tomorrow is day 2 of my challenge.

Today it has been raining and it was really windy but Husband wanted to go for a walk...but my shoes are no longer waterproof, and I only have jeans for walking, so no need to say i was drenched and pretty cold after our walk to the Antonine Wall near Cumbernauld. I would like to do this walk again, preferably in dry conditions next time..!

100 days

I have been inspired..I had to think of it a few days..I tried it last year but lasted only 3 or 4 weeks...so I have a kind of shorter challenge this time...the challenge is : No sweeties for 100 days. I am going to make a nice little (or BIG) calender for myself, so I can actually manage this time.

Maybe 'I am ready for it this time!! Wish me luck everyone!!!!

Day 2

We're well int the new year by now, *I am still coughing like an old smoker* have had coffee but I am ready for another one by now.

Last night I found my knitting, and knitted a few repetitions on the Botanica, gonna finish it this year!!!!
I also found a book and starting reading it " the tibetan art of living" by Christopher Hansard.

I also wrote a few pages on a letter to my penpal Mari, so I am hoping that this year I will be even more organised than last year. I did pretty ok to be honest, but the last 4 months of the year it started falling apart again. I am not sure why, but I am sure I will last longer than August this time.

So my focus is going to be on keeping track and keeping order. Am I a perfectionist??? NOPE, but that is probably where the problem lies..so I will work on doing things better and doing more.

Hope you all have a great second day of the new year.Take care, and pop by soon. I wouldn't mind a little comment to let me know you were here...just say "hi" or something like that!

Hugs to you all

 

Sometimes

Sometimes I feel that I need a big clearout, and it seems I have been feeling like this for months. So I have been clearing out for months. Suddenly it hit me....I can actually just throw everything away, what is the point of holding on to things that just creates clutter and stress???

I need a big mental clearout too I think..see you all later!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone, I hope you have had a great 2011, and that you celebrated the last day of the year with your loved ones.

Now 2012 has started and I will start working towards my new goals. I am still not feeling so great, but it doesn't really stop me..not too much anyway. I am sitting here enjoying my first cup of coffee this year and soon I am going to find my knitting needles for the first time this year, and later I will start writing letters for the first time this year

The first load of washing is already finished, and this is my first post this year too.

The sun is shining, things seems good! Long may it last.
Happy new year 2012 everyone

Summary and stuff

The old year is nearly history, so a tiny little summery is due..!

I......knitted and crocheted 11276 meters in 2011
I......wrote 104 letters in 2011
I......read 1 book in 2011
I      lost 7.5 kilos in 2011

I guess in some areas I can do better!

2012 will be even better than 2011, I am sure of it..more updates, more everything...all I am waiting for is for 2012 to actually start and that my stuffy ears from the plane yesterday will open up ASAP..because it took me nearly a week to hear properly last week..

And last but not least....At the end of the old year, I will say a big happy birthday to Christoffer I think he turns 4 this evening and I hope I have spelled his name correct..his mum will have to correct me if I am wrong.

Time for a rather late breakfast and some ear opening exercises!!
Until nest time..take care peeps!

Believe it!

Seriously!!! Believe it...I was 79.4 this morning...and I am almost near 78......78!!!!! I didn't thinkI would do it before Christmas, last year the Christmas eating started early December..and yes I have eaten the Kransekake  that we baked, we had to bake twice cause we ate it alll...hahahhah! Typical!!

But still, I will go to Norway near enough 8 kilos lighter than what i was last time they saw me. I don't know if they will see such a huge difference, as this time I don't feel so different. But honestly...it doesn't matter that much (just a little) because I am still far of my goal. Goal is supposed to be....quite a bit less, let's just leave with that.

Am i obsessed with weight...a little, because if Iam not, I don't manage to lose weight..and being 87 kilos is not what I would like to be again. This time I will get straight back in there when we come home, and today I am going to purchase a new trackbook that will be waiting for me for the new year 2012.

I am very hopeful for 2012, very actually! I have managed to be so focused since August, I am sure I will manage to continue...and also there's some new programme material out and I can try it out. Filling and healthy!! It is really working and I am truly amazed!!!

Well, I better get ready, I will soon be picked up..so I have contace lenses to put in, kids clothes to get ready...brekfast to fix...yes,..see you later!!

Dec.21

I can not believe it's 21st of December today, time has just passed so fast this year, atleast these last few weeks has just flown by.

Today was the last day of school before Christmas, Catriona had been unwell last night but she was fine this morning so she got to school , swapped presents with Emma and got pressies from Miss Douglas too.

It is finally time for bed for Catriona, and I will have an hour or two of peace before the day starts tomorrow again.
Tonight the candles are burning and it's cosy and nice in our livingroom.

May the peace and tidyness last the whole year of 2012!!

tidying

Yep,k another rather large tidy up, this time everything that can be washed will be washed, and all magazines up of the floor...not so easy as I have hundreds of knitting mags. Yikes. But, our washing machine are constantly going, and we are taking the washed stuff the the laundrette to get it all dry. I still have alot of things to do, and I really do not have time to "hang" here on the computer.

Just saying hi, I am still here, but veeeery busy.Guess I should take some pics to show at some point. Oh, here came the mail, better run before Solveig the cat runs away with everything.

Yaaaay!!

I did it! I DID IT....yesterday when I got weighed I was 79.8 kilos, I an under 80 and that was the goal , to be under 80 before Christmas.

AND there's still another week to go before it's actually Christmas..I am VERY happy! Must keep going now! Would be cool to be 79.5 before we head of to Norway. I can not believe that 1.August I weighed 87 kilo, and now 7 of those are gone.

The next thing I am going to do is to work out my goal for the summer.

Oh, there it is...now that was quick. The goal for the summer is to weigh 70 kilos. I will do it! By my 34th birthday I will weigh 70 kilos. I am sure it's doable. Wish me luck!!

Knitalongs

Yes, as so many years before..I have joined knitalongs...and maybe this year I will follow though? You never know, I mighe amaze you (and myself). As well as the saving my pennies per ball of wool I knit, I am going to at all times always knit something for myself. Even going to try to finish the Botanica Medallion,

 What do you say to that??? I supposed that it's not really going to be much of a challenge as I am quite a selfish knitter anyway. I think I have even finished all the Xmas pressies for this year as well..so there. Organised- me? Nah..

At this time, I think I might have joined another knitalong, but I can't remember...whenever I do remember..I will let you know.

I know for a fact I have knitted alot less this year than last year...over 1000 meters less..that is just no good. Hopefully with these knitalongs, I'll keep myself busy. Unless work interrupts me of course.

Anyway, time to finish up..I have about 15 minutes to fasten some loose ends so I willl love you and leave you.Will be back with pictures of the Chrismasscarf I finished a day or two ago.

Thank's for visiting me, and please leave a message so I can thank you for zooming by.
Cheerio

Healthy

As I mentioned earlier, I have been busy using a couple of other blogs for different things, and one of those blogs had to do with health, diet and basically losing weight. My ultimate goal is to be at MY Weight Watchers goal by the time I am 35, and the countdown is on the ticker at the top.

These last few days I have been doing something called Filling and Healthy option, and so far it seems as it is working. This morning, the weight showed 80.2, and the goal has been, and still is:
 to be under 80 before we go to Norway.

It seems I am En Route! I will continue doing the filling and healthy, or grenn highlighted if you'd rather call it that.
This morning I am away to sunny Shettleston, and I will ask the ladies there how they are doing. And of course give them my update. I am rather excited to be honest.

I will give myself time off during Christmas, but will try to take it easy and not eat cakes and chocolate all day long. It's early in the morning, and I guess I need to get ready for the day. Another busy day as usual.

Happy happy happy!

Oh dear

I can not believe thatI have forgotten, or not bothered showing off my shawl....it took me a looooong time to knit, og course had I knitted only the one project it wouldn't have taken this long. Roughly 48 hours of knitting spaced out from 1 January 2010 - Septemer 2011. So here it is, finished and dyed with Kool Aid..purple grapes I think the colour was called.

Yes, sure I should really have pinned it out in the hall or livingroom, but our Solveig-cat looooves the playmats, and if I put them somewhere she could get to, it would be nothing left of them the next morning.
I used  Patons 100% pure wool, 3ply and needles...probably 2.5 mm. Love the result if I  must say so myself !
This shawl is for ME!

Monday

Monday morning, I am home alone...and got absolutely drenched on the way home from school, luckily I had a hat, scarf and selbumittens, so I was not really cold.

Talking about cold, I think I have cought one...I have starting coughing the same way my princess Kamma has been lately...so I guess it's better having a cold now BEFORE Christmas rather than during the celebrations.

The annoying thing is that husband Jon and I were supposed to start exercising tonight, guess I will do it anyway. I want to get on with it I think. I have mentioned it before..but the summer I want to be the P90 Queen. LOL!

Anyway, I do have a ton of housework to do today and it won't get done unless I actually start. So, here goes! Wish me luck people!

At home

It's already Sunday evening, nearly Monday morning to be honest, and I am so happy that I can sit here and be on the net without any difficulties.

Tomorrow, it might be a busy day, must phone school in the morning, they might have their school concert instead of Thursday that was cancelled due to high winds here in Scotland (all schools were closed that day)...so here's hopeing that the concert is on and we get to see Princess and the school singing Christmas carols.

Anyway, it's late..I said i needed to get to bed early, and now it's nearly midnight..so I'd better go.

Take care my friends.

Leap Frog

So, I might as well show my latest project, I finsihed it last week, just in time for the snow.The Leap Frog is a really cute pair of wollies, but I didn't really follow the pattern, just the idea of a cable down the sides.

 I have used Stylecraft Phases and 5.00 mm needle. They are actually a bit too long, typical me. But they have been used alot in just one week. So I guess it has really been worth knitting. Now to just remember to wash in not too hot water..previous woolies shrunk big style..and ended up fitting a baby..! Luckily Princess had outgrown them anyway...!

Now on to continue knitting, trying to finish a Christmas present before Christmas

Let's start

So, since I have decided to get started with some pics I should have showed you AGES ago..but here comes...

My sparealong, or saving along. It's a load of ladies and we are saving a vertain amount per 50g og wool we knit. BUT, I have to do it differently....i don't have alot of money, so for every ball of wool I finish, weather it being a full 100g or a tiny little leftover ball of wool I still put away 1£ in my bottle,.

Yes, bottle..I need to have a moneybank that I can't just take the money out of, so a plastic bottle...it has to be cut open to get any money out...so that is why it suits me.
Here's the picture

Ladies and gentlemen

Yes my dear friends, I am back in here...2011 has been a very slow year here on my blog but I have decided that 2012 will be a different year. I will not just keep this to my crafts, but a bit about everything. You see, throughout this year 'I have used a couple of different blogs, one for weightloss and one for personal stuff.

But to make it all easier for myself, I will put it all in the one blog. Am going to try and separate a big when it comes to different kind of posts and hopefully I will be a bit more eager with pictures too.

I might even start a bit early blowing some life into this part of life.
Take care until next time!

Saving

So I joined another along...a savealong...so whenever I finish a ball of wool I will put some oney away in a piggy bank. I will show you my moneybanks when I get started, it's due to start tomorrow but no worried..still a while to go before I can put any pound coins in there..

I just I'd let you all know about the new cool project..I am already putting a pound away every week I lose weight, so why not with wool I use?

Well, better go do some stuff now, c u later!
