Random musings











Quote of the day



"The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be"---Ralph Waldo Emerson.





I thought that somewhere I spoke of my discovery of Seneca apple chips. I'm beginning to think one can become tooooo attached to eating these. Since discovering these a month or 2 ago I have lost count of the number of bags that I have consumed. No they aren't helping in the ongoing quest to rid myself of the 20+ pounds that came back from wherever I had sent them. I want them gone!

I've been pondering my activity level and it isn't what it used to be. I still get in 3-4 days of workouts but the level of intensity isn't what it used to be. I don't lift several days a week and I don't run. I miss them both and have to make the decision that only I can make myself go do them. The Wii is still in the box. It's only been 6 weeks since I opened the package to see what was in it. I had intentions........ Yea, Yea, I know.

The last time I actively ran was less pounds and less age! I did a modified version of the Couch to 5k. I never ran the 5k but could do 3 miles slowly. Here is a 7 week plan that looks interesting. http://www.active.com/running/Articles/How-to-Start-Running-Today.htm



In order to run I need music. With that being said, I need to see if my MP3 player still works and if it does, it still needs NEW music.



I picked up my crochet hooks after a couple of years. I have plans in my head for a hat, headband and a purse. I've done 2 headbands. They're ok. I can use more practice. Let's see how that goes.

I've found plenty of websites with patterns and a knitting/crocheting community at http://www.ravelry.com/

Lots of rambling but that's what I do.
