Can Do Attitude

This morning at my Weight Watchers meeting I had an epiphany. I need a can do attitude.

Having jumped onto the weight loss journey many times in my life I never have completely had the right mind set.  When I step back and think about it this journey is like knitting.  How does my knitting fit into to this?  Well for years I have wanted to knit socks but was afraid to try because I thought I would fail.  Recently I thought to myself  how will I know if I don't try so I picked up my needles and started to knit and here is what I ended up with.

With my journey I have to remember like knitting that these socks didn't just appear.  I made them one stitch at a time just like I will have to lose one pound at a time to reach my goal.  So here I go with my CAN DO attitude.

Till next time....

Crazy Busy

Things have been crazy busy the last few weeks.  Starting with our annual tenting experience at the Grange Fair and coming down with a cold that just won't end.  Then off to Reading, Pa to celebrate my sister-in-laws birthday.  Since returning home to I have been canning tomatoes, peaches, relish, chili and with green beans on the agenda for today I am well on my way to a nicely stocked pantry for the winter.  Oh, I forgot I am still working and in my spare time painting the trim in our sun room.

I have had little to no time to knit lately and I am missing the peaceful zen that I get from it when I do. My diet and exercise have also been lacking and I feel the energy draining from my body daily. So with much regret tomorrow morning I am going to face the scale at weight watchers.  Restart my exercise program, choose healthier food choices and make time for me to sit down and knit. Knowing that the end results with be a happier & more energetic me.

Till next week....
