In the garden!!!
Growing beauties :)
You know I love the garden, but this week I am super excited! I have retrieved two huge Zucchini this week and have so many things coming to life in the garden. Woo Hoo!!! Yes, you are fixing to be graced with many pictures of my discoveries today....get excited!!!!
Silver Queen Corn, growing big and strong
A plant full of Squash
these tomatoes can not grow fast enough...I want a sandwich!!!
Spice it up with these yummy jalapenos
a baby cucumber :)
It's wonderful that all these good veggies are growing so quickly, I need them for my diet!
The Weight Loss Thing...
So my last post was about working on my fitness. I am happy to announce a few things... Yesterday I stepped onto the scales at the gym (gasp) but to my surprise I am lighter than I first guessed. I weigh a cool 145 lbs. I was pretty happy about that. So I need to loose 10lbs to get where I need to be (in my opinion) and a extra 10 lbs would be just lovely ;) I have really been doing a great job over the past week in working towards this goal. I have been jogging, walking, swimming, major calorie cutting and yesterday was my first day back in the gym. Today I have mananged to eat only 800 calories and I jogged a mile and walked 2 1/2 miles. Not to mention I cut my part of the grass after work (push mower) and went swimming for an hour. My goal right now is to try to stay under 1000 calories a day and do some sort of exercise each day. I promise to be in the gym at least 3 days a week. I don't know how it is going to work out with the actual weight I want to loose. I am lifting serious weight at the gym so i will probably end up gaining weight. Note to self: take measurements to see how many inches are lost/gained by the weight lifting. Anyway, the jogging at the end of last week left me where I could barely walk up and down the steps to our house...LOL Then yesterday I way over did myself at the gym. I think I got a little weight happy and couldn't lift my arms all day. Hopefully they will be feeling better tomorrow so I can get back to it. My main problem is I can't do anything half way!!!! I walked and jogged tonight until my legs were jello...I could have gotten another mile in if I hadn't started so late.
So for now its all good on the diet/exercise track, I will keep you up to date on the progress.
Random other stuff:
Who knew...my pool is actually starting to look crystal clear (it has taken long enough) Just a few more chemical adjustments and it will be perfect.
The new puppies are growing fast and they are so cute. They have so much personality and I love just watching them play with one another. My sweet Daisy seems to be the ring leader of the pack. She goes to the food bowl and stands in the middle where the other pups can't eat. Don't worry I always stand in the pen and hold her for a few minutes so the others can eat. Let me tell you...Daisy is SERIOUS about her puppy chow (LOL) Maybelle is the quiet one of the bunch. She just sits back and watches everything, she is calm, cool and collected...she could care less what those other pups are fighting over. Then there is the last girl Shelby...she tries to stand up to Daisy the bully, but she always backs down. When she is lucky they team up to take over the food bowl. My one little boy Bocephus is the sweetest one of the bunch. He is the attention hog and always the first one to meet me at the door to the pen. If all the pups are gathered around me he just climbs over top of them to get to my hand and lick it...he's such a sweet baby.
Tomorrow is my brothers last day of middle school....man time flies! Next year he is onto the best years of his life. If only kids would believe you when you tell them these things!!! I can't believe how grown he is... Oh and by the way I love him and all, but I am keeping my fingers crossed for ONE B this time...geezzz I can't take another $100 A honor roll!
Well that's the update. Coupon match ups to be posted tomorrow.
Good Night :)
