What have I been doing?

So I haven't posted in awhile. I was on a trip back home to Canada and on dial up, not so good for blogging. What have I been doing?

1 - completed my Haruni shawl - just need to take some photos to upload
2 - completed an Annis shawl just for fun
3 - completed another 7 baby hats and gave the bunch to the hospital back home
4 - completed 12  out of 49 squares of the Squares on a Roll blanket
5 - shopped! I bought so much yarn due to the crazy sales back home (1 entire suitcase I brought back) that I think my other half will freak out if I buy even 1 more ball. But, at least I'm all set up for my next few projects after the Squares blanket!!

The blanket is my #1 priority right now as I have until the end of May as my deadline to get it done before baby comes on June 12. I should have made a lot more squares while away on holiday but I got sucked into doing other projects and procrastinated. Basically, I need to do an average of 2 squares a day so I have time to attach them all at the end.  Scary! I have to find the time in the day to do this because the squares take longer than they look. (avg 2.5 hrs each!!)

On top of the blanket, I'm starting my fitness goal on Monday. I completed the induction yesterday and plan to take this full on. Thankfully there are lots of classes to sign up for and I need to take full advantage of the facilities. It is free so I don't feel like I'm wasting my money but it's something I've been putting off and I'm ready to get going. Time to loose my baby belly (6 yrs is toooo long to have it!) The staff there are really great and the managers will come help you set up your program. Very much a hands on group and extremely motivational.

I am delaying the start of my fitness until Monday as my "To Do" list is going to take over today and this weekend. Once that is all in order I will be in a better mind set to focus on the tasks at hand rather than everything else I could be doing instead of working out. If I'm distracted I only put in half effort which is the same as not doing it at all. Go all in or don't do it!

Ok! Time to close the computer and away I go to get the day rolling. Watch out house! you're in for an overhaul.
