DESPAIR MORTALS, FOR I WISH TO PLAY PATTY-CAKE
What an excellent idea!

1)since I've had the baby I've done a pretty good job controlling what I eat, but I keep coming up with reasons not to exercise. At least Once a week I will bring my lunch to work and eat at my desk, and then spend my hour lunch break walking. I will also take the baby out for a walk once a weekend.

2) I've fallen behind on doing some of the things I love that are productive in favor of doing things that I love that are pretty much just time wasters. I will finish one of the small projects I'm working on (either spinning or knitting) AND my one major project (making a quilt)

Edit one: this is my pre-resolution setup! I want to post a picture of my quilt squares so that way I have a baseline as I go. I'm using up all the yarn I've spun, so I don't have a certain number of squares in mind.



Week 1: I finished 3 more squares for my quilt. I'm almost finished with the one ball of yarn I'm working on, only 5 more to go!

My exercising didn't go as planned because this week didnt go as planned--first I was sick, and then it snowed. I walked around the building a couple of times on Friday, because I was skipping lunch that day, but I couldn't get the tiny human outside for more than a couple of minutes because it's so bitterly cold. I will do better next week.

Week 2: still struggling with the exercise piece, which is frankly more important, though I've taken a few laps around the office and have purposely started parking way out when I go places so that I have to walk as much as possible to get in the store.
I've completed 10 new squares and finally finished my one skein of yarn.

Week 3: this week went really well! I walked up to the store and back on my lunch break (about 50 min round trip) and realised I can do that pretty much every day if I get a salad or something from the store and eat it at my desk when I get back. Nice. I got another 5 squares completed.

Week 4: kept up with my once a week walk, I'm going to try and bump it up to twice a week. I need to figure out how to politely tell a coworker that I'm not really a fan of walking in groups and I don't want any company though. I only finished two or three more squares, but I did make this:



Which I'm pretty proud of. I'd like to eventually mount a map of Thedas behind it.
