I feel
a nap coming on……and I shouldn’t need one; I had a full 7 hrs. last night for the first time in ages. I have given up Jay Leno; didn’t even watch Boston Legal last night, usually reading and just catch bits and pieces anyway.
I was down another pound today—-got on and off the scale 3 times and yep, there it was, one more gone. Total amazement cause yesterday I was afraid I was pigging out big time and blowing it. Even had 2 bits of Gharidelli (sp?) dark with raspberry filling—it was in a pkg. from a friend (?). So….one down for June, so far (being positive!!)
Hot and humid here….really more like Aug. no days under 90 in the forcast for the next week. Storms later. Later—never got those storms: 94 and super humid!!!!!
Gym this am: 2.30 mi. on tm w/incline, 8 min. hard row………then went out to bfsk with a couple gym buddies.
Food: V8, Grapenuts Flakes w/skim, decaf tea w/skim………….late bfsk: 2 over easy eggs, 1 1/2 toast, 2 pieces bacon, o.j., about 2/3 of the hash browns—and it wasn’t a big serving…….almost 2pm, starting to get hungry………..dinner: f.f. cottage cheese, 4 thin slices thin deli turkey, bowl of veg. soup……….after concert: sm. hot fudge sundae, left a bit uneaten
Planted a bunch of stuff yesterday— 3 more tomatoes, pineapple coleus, mini dahalias, a caladium…….still have a few impatients to get in and some hosta……….tomorrow am, maybe.
Orchestra concert tonight, got brownies to make yet and need to get there early to help set up. Later: Decided it was soooo hot didn’t want to turn the stove on and bake; ended up buying peanut butter cookies. Checked plate after concert, despite being store bought, they were GONE.
See ya, chickadees! G’nite!

Congrats on the pound!!! That’s the way they fall, one at a time - but they start to add up!

You’re doing extraordinarily well, Ms. Close…I’m going to give in and weight myself this Saturday. (Honest). I’m feeling quite inspired after reading about your success…
Big hugs,

Doing great sweetie. One pound at a time, slow and easy wins the race.
Your garden sounds great.
Been hot and humid here too, we need some rain.

Yah… another one bites the dust. Always a great feeling, especially when it doesn’t come back!
I hope the storms miss you!

Congrats on the pound down!!!
It was 91 here today!!! The humidity has been awful! I don’t know how I am going to run in this! It’s so humid you almost feel like you can’t draw a breath! Almost like you are under water or something! yuck!
Do you have locusts down your way! They are so LOUD here! They are driving me crazy!

Hey, close! Congratulations on the loss! The garden sounds so nice. I planted tomatoes last year and, like you, I tried to run around and move the potted ones to the little bit of sunshine that floats around the yard. In the final count, I think I had more tomato plants than tomatoes. Guess I’m going to go with the roadside stands this year.
Here’s a thought…a friend said she picked up a bunch of stuff from Habitat for Humanity that she needed to get planted. That kind of threw me so she explained that they do fund-raisers during the year and they sell plants in the summer. She bought several topiary shrubs for $10.00 each and annuals and perenials for $.50 each. I called them and they said they sell plants all summer. Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00 to 6:00. I’m going to try to go down there tomorrow and see what they have. The woman at Habitat said almost all the Habitat for Humanity locations sell plants in the summer. Don’t know if they have one by you but if you love flowers like I do, you might want to check it out.
