Another Fitness Challenge

I decided I really need to keep blogging about my fitness if I don't want all my hard work to go down the drain. In the fall I buckled down and lost 10 lbs. Well now I have lost my mojo and have gained 3 lbs back!
I need to set another goal....maybe just mini weekly goals.  This winter cold is getting the best of me. I have been such a couch potato, it has been so cold that I don't even want to go to the gym because the walk from my car into the building is too far & bitter cold.
So I'm going to challenge myself to another 10 lb loss!

Todays weigh in : 146.7
My new goal weight will be 136.   Ok, since I have a goal I need a deadline. hmmm
March 16th.  That is 1 pound a week.  Can I do that? I think so. I think it is a good attainable goal.
So to stay on track I will weigh in every Saturday again. I'm just going to pick up where I left off.


This is a collage I put together of everything that has helped me lose weight. I'm not the greatest at putting together informative posts but you can look at my previous posts for some ideas to help you lose weight as well.

Building up my gift stash

I finished some more see through bags/pouches.

I made so many of these for Christmas and gave them away as gifts. And now I'm trying to build my stash up again. Here is my previous post if interested on how this came to be.

It seems like it's always someones birthday so I like to keep a few gifts on hand.

I also made a few hotpads...

I think these are a good gift to because who doesn't need hotpads?

These can whip up fast because I don't bind them, it just appears to be binded (explained in this post)

And I finally figured out the pattern for baby slippers.

However I don't know that I will be able to do it again? I only got one side done. I could not follow the directions on the pattern...I kept coming up with either not enough stitches or too many so I made it up as I went along....isn't it cute?

I just wish I had to baby to put them in.  I also have another order for 2 baby owl hats...those are my favorite so I will be busy finishing them.

Hope you enjoyed my finishes for the week!
