Yesterday was lovely, a real stay at home day. I do get the little guilt trips that I should really be 'doing' something on my days off, but I am out working all week so I think the occasional self indulgent day is acceptable.I would like to say that I did do the laundry & ironing and a little vacuuming prior to becoming selfish with my time. I also got showered and dressed so didn't spend the day in PJ's
Mt little pink den of girlyness was looking a bit messy so I decided first up was to do a bit of a tidy, which in reality means faffing about with my stuff. I really should have known it would lead to another cast on, I had ordered more yarn [ oops meant to be on a yarn diet] for a new Patronus shawl, had popped it into a little project bag which was then left hanging on the back of the door. The reason being I couldn't quite decided on which solid colour to choose, I bought a gorgeous blue and a lovely purple, so still undecided thought I would wind all 3 skeins to see how they would look together. It was always going to lead to it being cast on then there and then.
The bottom pic is more of a true colour match, I cast it on, sat down and popped Glastonbury on the TV, and knit away.
section 1 completed, I was on a bit of a mission as I really want to see the 2 colours knitting up together, hopefully later today, trouble is I do have to go out and socialise as we are meeting friends for lunch !
In other news, I ordered a new fit bit as mine was struggling to charge and I was finding it quite bulky. I also took it off for a while as it was making me feel guilty for not walking enough ! Isn't that whats it for? I chose a Flex 2 as the wrist band is slimmer and not so bulky, a pale lilac colour which will generally sit well with the clothing that I wear.
The decision to buy another is down to the fact that I am due to go away for our first real holiday for years, by real I mean in a hotel, abroad, requiring an air-plane flight to somewhere warm, not packing up billy bongo, pitching up and having to walk across a field to find the loo. I had great plans for shrinking this body of mine, none of which have come to fruition, I am still fat ! There is nothing much I can do now, just go off on hols [ all inclusive may be eating and drinking a lot] and then try and get into shrinking mode when we get back.I am still going to weigh at Slimming world, even though I know I haven't lost any weight, I just need to keep at it until I get back and then go into it full throttle, she says with a smile on her face, how many times have I said that.
I had a good wardrobe clear out yesterday, my pink den also has a wardrobe which is full of my slim clothes, still plus sizes but items which I just cannot fit into. There are some lovely clothes in there and if nothing else just dropping 1 - 2 dress sizes will enable me to wear these garments again. When your plus size its amazing what you will buy hoping to find something comfy, nope, not any more, I looked at each item and though ' do I really like that?' if it was no it was off to the charity shop. I really want to get rid of the wardrobe in here, its old and broken and most definitely wont be coming when we downsize,
Today is all about walking the dog, meeting friends for lunch, maybe a spot of cleaning then knitting the night away. Hope you are all having a great weekend what ever you are choosing to do.
