Crocheting A Body: Going To Be An Interesting Workout!

Going To Be An Interesting Workout!

My daughter (15 months old) slept in this morning so I am off on my routine. By the time she goes down for a nap, there might not be time to exercise, so I am going to need to do it while she's awake. I have about 45 min. of fast dance music on my ipod list, so she and I are going to dance for Mommy's workout! I'll do abs and some weights when she naps, which I'll have time enough for, but I guess I just have to get creative. I mean, it's not like my body is saying "so sorry, you have to follow a legitimate tape made by a qualified instructor for me to let you burn calories." Does it have to be perfect to be done? The Flylady (see links) has a motto "housecleaning, even done imperfectly, still blesses your home." Isn't that true of our bodies?

The Challenge

I have this idea, it's pretty simple. I want to lose weight. I love to crochet. Much of what I would like to make for myself would NOT look good on me at this point. So here's my idea: I am going to choose the patterns I love most and crochet them in the REALISTIC goal size that I choose and over the next several months, I'll work my way into them.I am going to follow the Body for life program. Here's the hitch (which as a crocheter will kill me). I can only buy yarn if I am staying true the program. Cheat and I lose out on the yarns I'm dying to use. Using a blog is just my way of staying accountable to the program. I hate the idea of posting pics of myself, but I want to lose weight more and need a way to stay motivated. I start January 2nd. I have 3 small children and a busy life. This isn't going to be easy!
