I’m still having a tendency to backslide on this one. It’s not as bad as it was at the start, but I once again am falling into the habit of just setting things down on the dresser, intended to get to them ‘later.’ This has got to stop!

I found a yarn on clearance, its usual price higher than I usually pay but reduced to far less than yarn I’d normally buy. Plus it has the added ‘green’ benefit of being partially made of recycled plastic bottles, although it is incredibly soft. I have started knitting a sweater for my husband and have about 14 inches done so far. But last night I had the terrible thought that he already has a sweater (bought, not homemade) in this color. I haven’t checked yet because I don’t want to rip out what I’ve done; besides, I’m making a turtleneck and if he does have one it is a crewneck. That’s my justification to keep going as I don’t want to rip out what I’ve done already and have to start searching for a different yarn.

I’d gotten through week 5 of the program, and it’s a good program, but it’s probably been a month since I’ve done it. I normally work out in the mornings when time is tight to begin with, so I was doing this at night and finding it hard to fit in (especially if I snacked while watching tv—sit ups aren’t fun will food in your stomach!). I’d rather work out with a video/dvd anyway, so I may be packing this in.
