Finished Objects - 

• Slanted Vineyard socks, the Slant pattern by Hunter Hammersen, knit in CloudLover Yarn in the Haunted Vineyard colorway, for the KnitGirllls SAL/KAL, that ends in February.

Works in Progress -

• Wisteria Shawl Collar Pullover, pattern by Lion Brand yarn, knit out of an unknown yarn in a rainbowish colorway, using size 8 circular needles. (Sorry, Lion Brand, I did not use the recommended yarn. I might use Lion Brand Amazing for a future version of this sweater.)
• Hogwarts Express

Fitness - 

• Biggest Loser Contest: Weigh-in on Tuesday - 195 lbs (13.9285 stone for those "across the pond"). Gave us a food/exercise journal and a water bottle. Took a before picture. First workout???? Not sure what happened. Did yoga again on Tuesday - TOUGH!

Nutrition -

• Still fighting with sugar intake. Feel like I am having sugar withdrawal symptoms.
• Need to eat more veggies and less "bad" carbs
• Great suggestion from droppingneedles on Ravelry of drinking a glass of hot tea before bed for those nighttime cravings.
