status report.

sweater progress:
sleeves: 6/18, yay!
body: underside of hem is complete. beginning stitches are holding on two cheapo circular needles. doing the front side of the hem now, in chocolate brown. (I decided after knitting the back side of the hem in gray. It'll be cute.)

Need 440 more yards of chocolate brown, at least. Probably 660 to be safe. *sigh* And some needle holder things. Avoiding the yarn store until I'm a little more sure. I want a hood on this. And I can't decide whether I want to use the multicolored yarn or not.

Off to the store to get groceries before Raven needs the car to pick up the kid.

it's a starting point.

( click here if you want to know how heavy I actually have to get before I say, you know, I'm not happy at this weight. )

And that's after a week of deliberately cutting down on what I eat, too.

No, I won't be going on the no-carb no-fat no-sugar "if it tastes good, spit it out" diet.

I don't have time for three meals a day. I'm going to eat with the family and just watch how much I eat for dinner, snack in a healthy manner at work, and confine myself to something small right before bedtime.

So far on the snack list:

Low-fat yogurt
Reduced-fat Wheat Thins for salty goodness, but measured out into portions with my trusty kitchen scale
Lite apple juice with added calcium
100-calorie snack packs
Baaaaaaby carrots

I'm missing something from the peanut butter protein side, but figure I can make it up elsewhere.
