Podcasts

I have been listening to a lot of podcasts lately. Love 'em. I'm really loving the Savage Love podcast (which is an advice podcast) which is awesome.

It's something to do while I'm knitting - I sometimes watch a bit of tv or a film, depending what's on, but mostly there's not a lot that I'm interested in - I definitely don't watch soap operas and I find that it's good to have something on in the background. I do love a good audiobook too.

I'm currently knitting a laptop bag for my sister, who has been nagging me for a bag, ever since she saw the one I knitted for myself from the Stitch and Bitch book. It was a pain in the ass when I knitted it, but I kinda forgot how much of a pain it was. I've not knitted it in the chunky wool, I've gone with knitpicks wool of the andes bulky yarn, which isn't as thick, so I'm having to edit it as I go along. Even this thinner yarn is still quite heavy on the wrists so I can't knit it for long. You have to keep an eye on it as well as you change yarns every couple of rows, so it's not exactly mindless knitting. Buh. It'll be worth it though.

I've been neglecting the healthy eating and exercise, ever since I had my coil fitted. I am trying to get back into it, but I'm struggling to stay motivated. I think it's just the hormones reasserting themselves, making me crave crap and as soon as I'm eating crap food, I don't feel like exercise. I am trying to keep up with the exercise though, because I figure that it'll help me get back into the eating well.

Says me who is considering making mulled cider. Heh.

I am trying, honest!
