Frustrating Friday

1st attempt at crocheting a heart.  The shape is there

What my life has become.  Measuring everything

So I had my first weigh in today, after 2 days, and I'm down 1lb.  That's pretty good considering I just started.  I have to admit that I'm pretty frustrated with all the points and counting.  I know I have to get back into it and start memorizing my favorites.  I'm hoping it becomes a habit quickly.  I've had a huge realization how much I was overeating.  What I thought were portion sizes are really 2-3.  No wonder I've stayed fat for so long.  The only thing I underestimated was lettuce.  Do you know how much 2 cups of lettuce is.  A lot, I mean a huge fucking amount of lettuce.  I thought bagged salad was 4 servings, nope it's 2.  Wake up call for me!!

Part of my success the last time was staying busy at night, so out came my crochet books.  I realized that I really need a coach/tutor/someone to show me how to do it correctly.  I read my crochet for dummies book, but it's not always the best help.  As soon as I finish I'm looking up the local yarn stores new winter schedule.  I've got some really lovely yarns that I'd like to use to make some little heart garlands.  Obviously my first attempt is much too large!  Onto more practice.

This weekend I don't have a lot planned.  I've got to clean pretty well.  My co-worker is coming up on Monday so we can work on a presentation.  We are meeting with another co-worker to pick his brain about windows.  Not glamorous, but in our line of work they are very very trying.  Other than cleaning and starting some ideas for the presentation I've got nothing.  Maybe Sunday a trip to Rochester to see if the Amish store still has a chair I'm lusting after, for the last 6 yrs.  Or maybe tomorrow so I can go to Hobby Lobby!  Oh decisions!
