Happy New Year 2009!

Welcome to my blog! When Kevin asked me what I was going to blog about I said, "knitting, the pugs, and my weight loss", so that's what it will be about. Last year I was able to lose 14 pounds and keep it off, so this year I'd like to lose another 15. That seems reasonable, right? Kevin also is starting his marathon training for the Newport Marathon May 30th, so we're both all amped to eat healthy and exercise. Kevin is hoping to qualify for the Boston marathon. I'm doing WW points and training (using the word very loosely!) for the Truffle Shuffle 2 mile run in February. Then I'd like to run the Pear Blossom 5k in Medford in April. Of course since I'm motivated to go running I have a cold.

On the knitting front, after doing so much Christmas knitting I'm finally working on something for myself. It's the Karaoke Cable Scarf made with local alpaca that I bought at LLamas and Llambs in Jacksonville. The yarn is from Silver Rose Ranch in Medford. It feels so nice to be using local yarn!
Julesie was right underneath me begging to have his picture taken, so here he is too.
