Monthly Update: August

This was one of those months where I was very busy and getting a lot of things worked on - but nothing actually got done.

During August, I was mainly getting ready (or trying to get ready) for a convention a friend insisted we had to go to. (Thankfully, the next one isn't until November, and will be much closer to home).

So, I worked on ponies, and I worked on jewelry, and knitting, and all sorts of things. But, like I mentioned earlier, I didn't actually get anything of consequence finished.

So, here's my update for August:
Scarved knitted: 1
Weigh-in: 196.5

Yes, I got one scarf started and finished. That's it. I also gained weight, though that was to be expected. I don't exactly eat healthily while at conventions. Typically, what's in the con-suite, providing there is one at the convention. Or fast food. Neither of which can be very healthy, much less contributing to weight lose. Le sigh.

I shall also have to be doing more sit-ups, though; the mirrors in the hotel rooms' bathroom made this painfully obvious. Yes, I said mirrors; the vanity was a corner model, and the mirrors made use of this design by being done in tri-fold. Nothing like seeing an ugly, yucky gut that you don't like from three different angles at once. XP (I imagine, if it was nicely proportioned and therefore went along with the rest of my body, I wouldn't mind so much, but in this case it's like I'm proportionate and then there's this sudden lump that looks very out of place. Bah.) Worst. Hotel. Mirrors. EVER. :P

In the mean time, the cold is back, so I'm back to drinking hot cocoa. I'm trying to limit myself to one cup a day, though. I can have tea any time I want, since it's a lot more healthy to have than pop and hot cocoa. I have, however, noticed that my interest in soda (which honestly wasn't all that high in the first place, since I had to give up caffeine in high school) has been going down. Not sure what to make of that, really.
