Day 1, Ready to Go!!!

       Okay so here I go first thing I did was get everyone off to school and work. Next I actually had breakfast, I normally don't eat first thing in the morning its usually closer to 11am before I have a bite to eat. This morning I had breakfast by 7:15. For breakfast I had a light pre-workout meal, 2 pieces of whole wheat toast with sunflower seed butter and a smear of sugar-free peach preserves, and of course my cup of coffee. Oh also before I had breakfast I had my serving 1/2cup of canary seed milk. Later I will post about its benefits and how to prepare it. My next step is to get my equipment together and hydrate before I start my workout. If your going to start a workout program make sure you see your doctor and get a full physical, head to toe and blood-work done. I did this last week got my results on Friday, I'm very healthy except for the fact that my BMI says I am OBESE!!! The doctor has actually prescribed diet pills to help me with my over eating. I am an emotional eater /stress eater, my mother has cancer, I have a teenager and preteen with crazy hormonal moods, so my stress level is high. However because I'm healthy my insurance will not cover the cost of the medication and I am not going to pay $250 out of pocket, heck no!!! So hard work and discipline is a must, as well as meditation to help with stress. If I can control my stress then I should be able to control my mindless junk food binges.

    I have some errands to run but I am making ME first priority. This is something most stay home parents do not do often. If you would like a calendar to follow for your workouts here is one that I am using. Someone else did a great job putting one together, this makes it easier and less work for me slim in 6 excel calendar.  Okay enough blabbing or writing and time for action. Because ACTIONS speak LOUDER THAN WORDS!!! Hope you all have a great day and I will check back in later. To health and happiness.

TMNT Inspired Crochet Beanie

My little one is infatuated with the ninja turtles so I have decided to make her a beanie. To get a good fit you do need to measure around the head take the measurement and divide it by pi 3.14. The beanie I'm working on is for a 3-5yr. old with a head of 20" circumference. So the radius of my crown will be 6.36 or rounded off to 6. Here is the pattern. Materials needed. Worsted weight yarn main color and accent color J/10- 6.00mm hook (for hat) G/6-4.25mm (for eyes) Yarn needle Ruler R1: with main color, form magic ring. 10 dc into the magic ring; sl st to the 1st dc of the round to join [10] R2: ch 2 counts as first dc. 2 dc in each st around, sl st to the 1st dc of the round to join [20] R3: ch 2 and dc same stitch (1 dc in the first st, 2 dc in the next st) 10 x, sl st to the 1st dc of the round to join [30] R4: ch 2,dc into same stitch ( 1 dc in each of the next 2 sts,1 dc in the next ) 10 x, sl st to the 1st dc of the round to join [40] R5: ch ...

Almost that Time of the Year! When the yarn Comes out...

Image
    I have been waiting all summer for the right time to start playing with my yarn. Last fall/winter and part of the spring I was a pretty busy bee on my Ultimate Sweater Machine. If you don't know what it is , it is a home hobby knitting machine. It is easy to assemble and does not need electricity, you put in the muscle. I make some great beanies on it. I can honestly say I have mastered the striped beanie pattern in the book and was comfortable enough to make my own alterations to the pattern. Here are some of the things I was able to do on this machine. These are just a few of what I did on the machine. If you would like a tutorial on how I make them please let me know in the comments. Thanks again and have a great evening. Sandy
