Learn How to Knit - CHECK!

Well, technically I already knew how to knit, but "Learn how to cast on and cast off" was a bit more lengthy as a title... Went to my aunt's place last night for dinner and a knitting bee. I can now officially begin and end my own knitting - there ya go Mum, I'm still learning! Bring on the distraction from food and the knitting of baby stuff for friends and family.

Aside from that I've had a fairly good week. Struggling with the cold and exercise and comfort eating stuff though. I've kept my main meals good though and most snacking has been Core foods. I've decided to try a thing that's on my health insurance website. They have this free service for members which means that you can log in to their site and get health plans (exercise, fun run plans, eating plans etc). So I've created an eating plan which should help me lose some more weight. It'll be interesting to try to stick to it for a week, but I've changed the menu around to make it workable. I'll give it a shot starting Monday. Considering next weekend is the "Festival of Graeme" aka my father-in-law's 60th, a good Monday to Friday will certainly help.

I'm weighing in tomorrow morning in the community before we go away for the weekend. I hope they have nice scales in Oakleigh! Fingers crossed. The weight has not been budging this week.

I was thinking yesterday that perhaps staying the same all winter's not a bad thing. I mean in Summer I'll be more active and less comfort eatey and it'll be easier to shift a few more kilos. So even if I can't budge for the next couple of months I am not beating myself up. At least I'm not gaining! I'll give it a go though. Especially seeing as my mobility will be hampered for the first part of August after I have my knee 'scoped.

I am still in limbo with work. I am here technically at the moment til the 3rd of September. Fingers crossed for the future, but if they can only give me another 12 months I need more than that. So I'm still applying for jobs. Wish me luck!
