It is pretty rare that I win something but I did yesterday! I found Holli's blog through our friend Sarah's blog. Holli does some amazing knitting, I particularly like a hat she did a few weeks ago and a sweater she made. So even though I don't know her personally, I enjoy reading her blog and seeing the crafty things she is making. It makes me feel like trying some of these projects but I don't know how to knit. I used to cross-stich before Andrew was born but I haven't done much since. And sewing would be fun too but the sewing machine really intimidates me!!
Anyways, Holli had a giveaway on her blog, something many bloggers are doing. I posted a comment and I won! I will be getting a pair of Malabrigo fingerless mitts and some homemade fudge! I am excited to see these mitts in person and taste her yummy fudge. Maybe someday I will host a giveaway on this blog, not sure what I would giveaway....
After we eat this yummy fudge that is headed our way, we will begin (maybe) a competition of sorts. Chad mentioned that we should have a competition last night. The competition would be to see who can alter their weight by 10 pounds first. His goal would be to gain 10 pounds and mine to lose 10 pounds. (Sounds like a fair competition, huh?!) To be fair to Chad, I have expressed the desire to lose weight/be healthier to him, he is not suggesting that I need to lose weight. We haven't really agreed to this yet. We would both like to work out more and he thinks if it is a competition, he will be more likely to follow through. (Have you seen Chad play a sport? He is a totally different person!!)
I would like to lose some weight but more than anything I just need to make some life changing choices. I need to eat better, healthier. I need to exercise more so I stay healthy and become more toned. I want to be fit so I physically feel better and feel better about myself. We shall see...there is no way I'm starting this competition before Christmas!
