get into the grove

so as it happens every few months , i feel fat and want to lose weight. most of the time i never stick with it for more then a month. I'm not sure how long this will last . i cant make any promises to my self because then I'll beat my self up when i fail. and that's never a good feeling.

So Toby got a weight bench, and an elliptical. to help him , but he as doesn't stick with things. I have exercise DVDs, and a wii fit if Toby ever gets it back from his brother, goodness. i really like the DVDs and the wii fit. Toby says they do nothing for him. i guess we all need something a little different to get us going.

I'm back on spark people, That1girl734
i just tracked my food for the day . i started at midnight , i work nights so i guess that would be the start of my day. and oh my goodness I'm a fatty, i ate 2707 calories ,i;m low in fiber and b 12. but I'm getting back into eatting eggs, there cheap and easy to make. maybe a cup of soy milk a day or something.


I'm not sure how i should plan my workouts, and meals. because Toby doesn't like diets at all. and i cook all the food in the house, he would rather not eat then eat anything whole wheat or fat free.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Toby has been on T for a few weeks and he hasn't really changed. that much, he is a little more confidant, and not so needy. his voice his really squeaky. and his facial hair is growing in a little more often.

I'm not looking forward to the body hair. male bodies are so nasty in the way, yuck boys.
~~~~~~~~~~

i got a big tote of old yarn from a friend of Toby's. I've been trying to make a hat or two pre week so that i can give them away once i get a box full. or next year at the hat drive.

I'm also thinking of trying to make socks. the thing I'm most afraid of is that on will be bigger then the other. i don't like to fail,so I've been putting off learning how to make them.

what i'm working on right now ravelry

a doll~ for my mom
a t shirt yarn purse
a diva halter top
---
a tie tote
----
a wooden T
painting a plate

ok until later bye

well come back

wow its been since last june that i've posted here.

but now that its cold out. i'm in the house more and eatting more. Toby says that he is with me.

I'm at 126 want to get to 115, flat abs, nice arms and thighs.

i'll have to start off slow, and work my way back up. the apartments that i live at now, the gym is not as great as my old one. So more video time. only issue is space. I can move the coffee table with help. but the couch is a little big.

I did 1 mile on the eliptical yesterday took 20 minutes. but there were bad teen boys there so i didn't want to do to much i just wanted to get back home.

last full body picture, my camara is broken

I have been exercising every couple of days. Toby has been trying to work out and diet, im not sure how long it will last. But i like the companionship.

~~~~~~~~~~
Knitting: i'm trying to learn a new technique called double knitting. it's when you have two colors in a pattern and two sides that are opposites of each other. I dont think that im doing it right at all. but i will just keep working at it .

I'm almost out of yarn for my skirt so far its cost me 7$ so im not going to buy anymore.

"'Cause baby girl's a queen"

I dont know what happened, maybe i've been straying from my somewhat diet to much. but im back up to 130 pounds (or maybe i wasnt really 128) my waist went down to 29 1/2, my hips are 36 1/2 . But my thighs are getting bigger, is that from working out or gaining weight

An I cant stop this feeling anymore

Life: I was so nervous about my interview today. I got all dressed up, and knitted and played on my ball which helped, until i got into the building.

I met with lisa, who was nice, then she goes you should be interviewing with the store manager not me. So i wait for him for about 5-10 minutes. He was really nice and we talked about all the things that i did for work my hobbies. i realized that i like to run around at work and he told me that office max is a different crowd then my other jobs. He seemed really ok with everything that i could do and have done. Then he also tells me that he is just a replacement manager and he needs to talk to the real one and see what the hours are like. So i dont know if i have the job or not. I have to wait for a call.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Knit: I rediscovered craftster and I want to do some of the challenges. The hat that i was making is the size I want my waist to be. So instead of getting upset, about making the hat to big. Im going to make a skirt.
