Debbie, the first sweater turned into an afgan. The yarn wasn't suitable for a sweater. It was a bit itchy. I finished the afgan before Christmas and now I lay it at the foot of the bed. The sweater is a nice soft yarn that will be great for the fall winter and early spring. For supper tonight I am simmering the pork in vegetable broth with onions peppers and rice. I am boiling some cauliflower and I am making some cheese sauce to go with it. I will put it in the calorie counter to see how much it is. Enjoy your supper tonight.

Debbie,
I bit the bullet and did 2 miles at the mall today. =) And yes, I did get caught by the chatty woman who works there. lol My car should be ready to pick up tomorrow, so for the next 6 weeks when the temp dives below 28 or so, I'll get it done at the mall.
Thanks for the links! I'm a little limited with certain motions since I slipped the disc, but I'll check it out. =)

Monday Update
Health/Fitness Goals:
1: Log everything (food and activities) M: yes
2: Water--minimum 50.7 oz a day M: 33.8
3: Calories under 1700 a day M: 1450
4: Walk 6 miles this week M: 1.5
5: Lose 1 pound
Home:
1: Shampoo the bedroom carpets
2: Give dogs a bath
3: 3 loads of laundry
4: Wash all bed sheets and blankets
I have logged everything for Tuesday and will update any numbers that change when I get home from work in the morning. I've done 1 load of clothes so far, I'll do at least 1 more tomorrow. We don't do much on Wednesdays so I can probably get them done then. I'll do the sheets and blankets this weekend. Along with bathing the dogs. Not sure about the carpets. We have a possibility of some white stuff falling from the sky tomorrow. This southern girl does NOT like snow! I'll grab a few groceries on the way out of the store in the morning. Catch up with y'all at some point tomorrow.

Libby,
In 2010, when I lost my weight, I knit a lot. I love to knit, but I haven't done much this winter. You're so right... you can't eat a thing when you knit; your hands have to be clean (...and it keeps them busy). I've never tried to make a sweater for myself. Sounds like a lot of fun! What a great incentive! =)
Tori,
Snow in SC?? What the heck? Do you get snow often? I think our horrible cold snap is over for now. Heading up to balmy temps in the mid 20's later this week.

Yep, snow in SC. We normally get it once every winter. We don't get "normal" snow though. It's usually snow mixed with sleet and freezing rain. Which cannot be driven in/on. It's why the south "shuts down" when we get any frozen precip. It normally is thawed out and normal within a day or two.

Good morning losers. We'll I haven't logged anything this week. That changes today. I'm down another .2, nothing drastic but it's a step in the right direction.
