So today's post is going to be about a few things, most about exercising and clothes...ok I'll admit it's about socks. But first! Let's take those demons out for a walk shall we?
All right seriously though exercise is something that a lot of fat people view as a chore. Why? Because to many of us Fatties it means running, push ups, sit ups, pull ups, weight lifting, and *gasp* god forbid, the gym. Well lets look at what else is exercise. Do you dance? That's exercise. Do you play any kind of sport? That's exercise. Are you involved with a reenactment group? That is definitely exercise. Do you care for small children? That is exercise (why is it that their legs are so much shorter yet they always seem able to outrun their parents?). See just because you don't go running three miles a day or go to the gym and lift weights five times a week does not mean you do not exercise. Just because dancing or playing a sport is fun doesn't make it any less of an exercise. You don't need to join a gym to exercise, mind you there is no reason you can't join a gym if you really really want to, and if you enjoy what that gym has to offer. So find something that gets you moving that you can truly enjoy! Don't just go out and join your local YMCA so you can run on a treadmill to get yourself in shape. Why? Because that may not be fun for you.
No leaving exercise alone since it's kinda like beating a dead horse after I know how many people have written about it. Lets talk socks. Knee socks in particular. have any of you had trouble finding knee socks that actually fit over your larger than 'average' knees? I have! And let me tell you it drives me nuts when I'm wearing a skirt that would look awesome with a spiffy pair of knee socks and I can't find any that fit around my legs without cutting off my circulation. As a result, I have begun my crusade! Yes dear readers I am beginning to learn to knit my own socks. I will have those cute knee socks one day! I will knit them up in the many varied colors my local yarn store has to offer and I will flaunt them wherever I please. Why? Because colorful socks are cool, just like bow ties and fezzes. (If you get that reference kudos to you!)
Have you seen the ones from We Love Colors? They are dress socks, not sport socks, but the knee highs are AWESOME!!
ReplyDeleteI would like some more prints though.
I have a pair picked out that I wanna make! They're a cable pattern (you know those fabulous sweaters that have fun knot work texture all over them) and the pattern is huge hearts running up the legs. ^_^ I fell in love with them! Now I just need to teach myself to cable. :p
