Struggling!

Started on Atkins as the doc suggested, but I am struggling. I am using My Fitness Pal to record my food choices so I won't bother to write my meals here.  I am going to spend sometime reading more about this low carb diet and come up with some more meals. Since I was up early this morning I did roast some asparagus and green beans for lunch and dinner.  I still can't get my carbs to 20 a day but I am getting closer. I did get my exercise in yesterday and it really made me feel better. Tired, but a good tired.

I did some knitting yesterday and finished the felted bag I was working on. I knit until the shoulder began to hurt and then I rested. Now I need to find a strap, some fabric for lining it, and some embroidery patterns. After felting I want to embroidery some flowers or shapes on it. All that will have to wait until I have the use of my shoulder back, hopefully by fall. My next knitting project will be to finish my Holden shawl. I only have about 15 more rows to go, so I hope I can get it finished by next week. Then I need to find something else to knit that will be easy on the shoulder.

I wanted to share some more goodies that came in the mail. One thing for sure, being cooped up in a house can lead too many internet purchases and going way over budget. I got the Oz stitch markers from Little Skein.

And two skeins of self stripping yarn from Turtle Purl. The colors are beautiful and much prettier than the picture .As I put my yarn out to take pictures I find that I seem to pick out the same colors. I really need to get outside my box in terms of colors.



I have a trip to physical therapy today and  I am hoping for good news. I am hoping that I can start driving in the next couple of weeks. Yippee!
Time to try knitting for a little. Everyone take care and I hope you get to do something today that you enjoy!
