Diet and Exercise



Now that I don't have school to obsess about (for a while at least), I had to find something else to obsess about. That's right - diet and exercise. I've actually been exercising quite a bit since it got warm again. Yoga can be pretty good. Mark got me a pedometer so I can obsess more efficiently too. It says in the instructions to try for 10,000 steps per day. Well, I've got a ways to go to do that. Jumping rope gets the count up there faster than anything else I've found. Is that cheating?

As for diet, well, I'm living on chocolate, but other than that it's healthy stuff. They have this stuff called broccoli slaw, and it's pretty good. Only 25 calories per serving too! (But it doesn't come with dressing, and that adds to the calories significantly). I remember seeing a set of fun diet tips a long time ago, and they have turned up from time to time. It's basically how to justify eating whatever you want to eat. You can find anything on the internet! Check out the Stress Diet and its accompanying diet tips! I've been thinking about adding a food section here too, with recipes, etc. I have a few food links in the link section - recipes for mixes to put in jars and give as gifts, recipes from the Middle Ages, and also a searchable database for just about any recipe imaginable.

Knitting

Oh yeah, I finally committed to starting a new project; the party apron from Knitty. I look better in more peachy colors than pink though, so mine has more of an orangy tone. I'm using Peaches & Cream cotton yarn in "Orange Sherbet" with contrast in Chenille (Terracotta), which looks just a bit too red but I think I will like it when it's done. I'll post pictures later.
