New Year ~ projects galore!

Happy New Year!!!!
Hope your year is off to a great start! So far mine is off & running on the right foot.
I get up at 3 am to take my thyroid med go back to sleep til 4 am when I officially start my day ~ get up & dress for the gym.
Yeah I know I'm crazy but that is the best schedule for me.
Been really working at getting back to where I was before the error was made with the settings on my V-Pap machine (for my sleep apnea ) way back in 2011.
In case you aren't aware I was losing weight, eating healthy & doing fantastically right up to the point my machine to treat my sleep apnea needed resetting & a card with the wrong settings was sent to me. Immediately (ok so within a week) I hit a plateau weight that had been dropping steadily suddenly stopped. I continued doing everything as I had been only to find my self exhausted & frustrated at no progress. A few months later I broke down & stopped paying such close attention to what & how I was eating, then I traveled and any thought of managing my calories/carbs went on a vacation of its own! Well needless to say my weight climbed back on until I was back up to my previous weight from back in 2009 :(
So in search of "Me" yet again I decided to begin again & what better way than at the beginning? When I had started my journey several years ago I had been going to a local YWCA to walk/jog in the pool in the early morning. That option was no longer available to me (their indoor pool is closed ) so I searched for some place w/ an indoor pool & thank God I found one that meets my needs.
Joined back in late August (2012) building up to getting back to more serious exercise. These days I get up to an hour or more of cardio M-F followed with 30 minutes or more in the pool!
The final key is what & how I eat. So Jan 2nd (yes this year lol) my food journaling is back in full force!!
Now since none of that has anything to do with crocheting let me tell you I've been really busy working on ruffle scarves & skinny scarves & chemo caps!
And if that isn't enough I've also got two scarves on my knitting needles!! So all in all my year is off to a great start & I'm looking forward to seeing results as God sees fit.

Wishing you all Frog free projects!!!
