flabbergasting and befuddling since 1973

I’m really good at the rambling…
So Week 3 of the 30 day challenge I got totally wiped out by a cold. No brainpower, no willpower, blah, blah, blah. Finally feeling better and back on track to end this week. My only goal is to lose a few more pounds by the end of the week! Today’s food is another sauteed onion/spinach/feta frittata and a “pizza” made with whole wheat english muffing crust. I found some turkey pepperoni and light salame. I would have made those the whole day’s meal but the pepperoni and salame are really high in sodium. I also fit in some Mexican Hot Chocolate from Moonstruck. Yum! I need to make up a recipe to duplicate it (and lighten it up!)
For some eye candy… Thelonious by Cookie A. in Knit Picks Gloss Sock Yarn, color Cosmos. These took me four months! I did do some other socks in between becuase these were so hard. I knit them on a smaller needle than it called for (I’m crazy) and did the medium size and it came out wonderfully. They feel really good. (I’m sure the silk in the yarn helps too). If you’re a Cookie A. fan, she has a book coming out in April. Pre-Order on amazon… Sock Innovation: Knitting Techniques & Patterns for One-of-a-Kind Socks. There’s a pdf preview here. I’m drooling!! Here’s some mediocre pictures of my Theloniouses

Good that the cold is leaving! The food sounds tasty. I was low energy this morning, so I really slacked on breakfast, eggs, a little protein powder in milk and a greens supplement in water. One of those days… and hubby is off and has a dental appointment, while I have water aerobics, so we are working around each other in the kitchen and shower.
GREAT job on the socks! I had a great aunt who could do serious knitting, even to the point of actually making knit dresses. I tried it, but I think I’m too impatient for knitting. I started a simple scarf and never even finished that, LOL!
That stinks about the cold. The hot chocolate sounds great, though! Love the socks, too!!
