I also have been skipping out from going to the gym a lot
lately. These things are probably link. I'm
just having a hell of a time getting going with anything. I
find in the morning I end up dragging my feet right thought the gym window
(that time when I can both get to the gym in time do a decent work out in and
get to work in time). Then I end up sitting
in the shower way too long and getting into work just in a nick of time. It's
almost like I'm paralyzed in the tub, just not able to get myself going. I
know the root cause of that is depression, which is also most likely feeding my
ADD after mid-night turning it from a cute Mogwai to a gremlin.
I also know that getting to the gym and getting 30min of
cardio a few days in a row will start releasing the chemicals in the my brain
to help alleviate the depression. It just climbing the
mountain has been really tough lately. It all started
after I got sick back in September. Once I got sick it
knocked me out of the gym routine. I would go once and
then something would happen and I would miss the rest of the week. Then
I would try, try again with the same results. I
need to break the cycle, somehow. It think I will try
going for a brisk walk tomorrow morning see if I can't get some cardio that
way. Plus I'll pack my gym bag tonight so it is
already to go come Monday morning. I'm also going to make
the commitment to go to the gym every day next week here in a public
forum. If you follow me on the book of faces or the
site of tweeting, please hold me accountable for this promise.
Despite the current difficulties I have had some good thing
happen on a personal front. They are mostly in the
too early to talk about in the blog stage, but some things are breaking the Old
Man's way. It's nice. I
also have gotten some work done one some knitting projects and I have actually
finished three things.
I finished and sent out the contest winners fingerless gloves. Although
due to a miscommunication I sent Beth's to her old address. I
may need to make a new set for her, which I don't really mind because I really
enjoy making these gloves. If anyone wants a pair
to give as Christmas gift, to yourself or another, let me know. I
guess I'll charge $5 plus materials cost and shipping if need be.
The other thing I made is this cunning hat. I
had left over blue yarn from Lisa's gloves and I thought it would look good
paired with black and white. Turns out I was right
I, it looks great. I roughly based the
design off a different hat patter in Son of Stitch and Bitch, a knitting book
for making stuff for guys. My first attempt was
nice but covered my whole head. I shrank down the
number of stitches and came up with once that actually fit.
The final thing I finished back in September was the fall
