Handpainted Socks

I’ve had a difficult time keeping up with blogging world, Ravelry (projects and such) and in general accomplishing everything I’d like!
Well, that’s about to change. I am the type of person that needs a schedule to operate so that’s what I’ve done. This doesn’t just affect my knitting life but house work, fitness, dieting, horseback riding… well pretty much everything!
I’ve found myself unhappy with my life lately and most of it stems from pure disorganization and not getting done what I want.
I know this is cheezy, but I found myself really liking Jillian Michaels (from the Biggest Loser) which led to me watching her new show on NBC, Losing it with Jillian. Although I don’t necessarily consider myself fat (I do have some weight to shed) I do like how her message is more about health and wellness. Not just in diet and exercise either, but in your whole life. I know at least personally if I fall short in one tiny area it’s a domino effect.
So, blogging comes into this as sort of an accountability thing. Keeping me on track, on schedule etc. I’ve also done things like adding a calorie counter on my iPhone and a fitness thingy too (I love my iPhone) in that area as well as a To-Do app and more to help me keep it together. Now, if more hours could pop up into the day it would be fantastic!
A few things to kick off my new blogging:
#1 I’ll be blogging daily
#2 I have 12 lbs to lose by July 23rd (my birthday) to get to my goal weight, and I CAN do it.
#3 I’ll be posting weekly weigh-ins to be accountable for my weight loss.
#4 I’ve started taking a kickboxing class (which I love) M-W-F and I’ll be running T-TH-S taking Sunday’s off.
#5 I WILL be adding projects with photos and notes to Ravelry or my project won’t be done.
#6 I WILL be posting photos of WIP’s and blogging about them as well as doing product reviews etc. that I intending to start out with.
#7 I WILL be a healthier, happier and more productive me!

I hope this post wasn’t too terribly boring, and I hope you’ll stick around for more.

I haven’t mentioned work well at all here because that’s a whole book entirely, but we do have some new colorways up in the shop. You’ll find the shop kinda empty. Well I’m working to rectify that situation but it’s become more than a full-time job to fill wholesale orders, club shipments AND stock the shop. Clearly the shop is the one that gets pushed to the bottom and it’ll remain that way for a while unfortunately. Hopefully you’ll see something you like in the next few months!

Until tomorrow….
