The plan for this summer

So this is my plan for the summer.

I want to work on a few things.

I'm trying to lose weight, and I'm considering weight loss surgery as part of that. I need to lose between 130 to 150 lbs. I need to be a lot more active than I have been. I'm already cutting my diet, but I find I'm cheating.
I intend to go to Curves at least 3 days a week, even if Ashley IS there.
Spend a little while in the pool every day--that's IN the pool, not watching the kids in the pool.
Keep busy.
Daily scripture reading. Curves/Exercise. Menus. Drink water constantly. Set out time each day/week for spinning, weaving, knitting/crochet. Keep up with laundry and housework. Plan time for research and revision of the J2B articles on the various trades. Research tapestry techniques and incorporate into warp weighted project. Time in evening for updating facebook, blog, and food journal.

Goals:
Spinning--finish spinning the tussah and dye the resulting yarn. (get more bobbins)
Weaving:
Begin a warp weighted project for J2B this winter. Begin it on a separate beam and tie the beam to the J2B loom later. (Need to make weights.)
Make a Greek key, a flower, or a palm tree design in a contrasting color on the hems and the sleeves? This is rather ambitious.
Knitting: finish scarf and hat for Anna. Socks for Matthew, Scott and Lenore for camp.
Deadline for socks: August 1st. Deadline for scarf and hat: September 30th.
