There comes a time each year when I have to get real about what can actually be accomplished before Christmas. This week was that time. I create so much unneeded stress by trying to do all of the things; it is almost a relief to realize certain things are not going to happen and just let them go.
It is possible I could finish my big knitting project by Christmas if I really commit. You might remember from last week, the project was derailed by an interchangeable cable failure. If there is one thing I want to finish in time, it is this project, so I found a way to keep knitting. It isn't pretty, but it works!
Instead of one circular needle with a long cable, which would be ideal, I'm using three shorter needles.
The first Frankensock, my answer to last week's sock woes, is finished. It fits, which is a nice change, but there is room for improvement. Observing all the feverish sock knitting as of late, the kids each requested a pair of socks for Christmas. That will not be happening! We settled on New Years socks instead. It actually will workout well. I can consider my Frankensock options while working on theirs.
With so much to do and so much time on the road this time of year, I am really liking the option of 20 minute workouts. I'm into the third week of the schedule I put together, and it has been working out very well!
Going in, there were a few workouts I expected to like, but I've been surprised by a few unexpected favorites, namely the D-fine workouts. It was probably the too-cool spelling which turned me off, but the workouts themselves I enjoy very much. They are low to no impact, as well, which makes them accessible to everybody. The series features a lot of core and booty work, so if you're looking for something quick to tone up those areas, I encourage you to give it a try! It's a four week schedule to fit in the 30-day free trial.
