Got a few things done outside yesterday before the rain showers. Today is starting out with sunshine. We might have a shower later on.

Have a great weekend!

Exercise
1 hour morning walk
1 hour evening walk

Meals
Banana
Tofu scramble
Mock fish bites
Lemon meringue pie
Taco salad

I'm up 2 lbs. What do I expect if I eat things like lemon meringue pie too.
I need to get myself together. Still not feeling too good, but that is really
not a good excuse. I hope I feel good tomorrow morning. I want to
go to the Strawberry Festival and 5KM walk. Hope the rain holds off for
the morning too. I went there today, and didn't see anything.
That was because I got confused about the date. It is for Sunday, not Saturday.
It would have been a nice morning if it had been today.

Jack and I had a good day training together today.
I also bought some rubber boots at Tractor Supply that I can wear
outside in the early mornings/night when the ground is wet.
They are blue with flowers on them. I love them.

Have a good day with Steel at the horse show!

Tip of the Day:
17 Reasons Why You're Regaining Weight (continued)....
Reason Number 17 -You Skip Breakfast

Your morning munchies will boost your brainpower, banish cravings, maintain weight loss, and ramp up your muscle gains—but only if you eat them. Eschewing the most important meal of the day may save you calories in the morning, but come lunch time, you're more apt to overeat to compensate for a rumbling tummy. Plus, statistics gathered by the National Weight Control Registry (NWCR), which has collected over twenty years of data on dieters who lost at least 30 pounds and kept it off for at least one year discovered that 78 percent of those dieters eat breakfast every day.

Counter It:
It might be one of the easiest meals to prepare, but deciding what dish works best for you can be hard. That is, if you haven't read our exclusive report, How To Choose The Best Breakfast For Your Body Goals.

Hi Renee,

You definitely got some walking in yesterday! How did Steel and you do?

I went to the Strawberry Festival yesterday with Jack. The weather was perfect. We speed walked the 5KM event, then caught the last half of the church service, walked around all the festival booths, and shared a slice of cheese pizza, funnel cake, and some strawberry shortcake with ice cream. In the afternoon we took a drive in the country and spent some time at a dog park. Jack really wasn't interested in playing with the dogs there though. So we headed home. In the evening, I called a few old friends and chatted for a while. It was a nice day.

Exercise

Hopefully we will see the sun today....I really need to get the rest of the garden and flowers planted!

I didn't drive Steel at the show. I did 7 in-hand classes. Unless Sam has off, I have no way of taking my cart. I pull my trailer with my SUV and even if I used his truck, I can't load and unload my cart alone. We got 4 firsts, a second, third and fourth. I don't do so good in the speed classes

Wow, Steel and you did great! If I lived closer, I would help you out. It would be fun. I would end up having one of my own for sure.

First day without a headache in 3 1/2 weeks! I hope tonight is the same way. Saw the doctor yesterday and had an MRI done on my head. Just waiting now to find out if they can determine the cause.

I love these sunflowers. I will definitely have to plant some this year. I found out there are different sizes too. I love bright yellow flowers. They are so cheerful.

Exercise

1/2 hr.evening barn chores
1/2 hr. moving hay

Meals

Sunflowers are beautiful. They have shorter varieties now and they are easy to grow and don't fall over. I like the ones with a little brown mixed in.

Can you believe it's raining here again this morning! The sun is supposed to shine later......

I think my show on Sunday will be a wash-out....

We finally got the rest of the garden planted. Now to get the hostas done. I need Sam to help me move a big peony bush that's planted where I want some hostas to go. We don't know when it got planted in the shade. It's been there for years and never really did very well. I'll move it out by my other ones in the sun. It should be happier there.

Hope all is well with you.

Exercise
1 hour morning walk
30 minute evening walk

Meals
Danish
Tofu scramble
Chile Relleno
Caesar salad and Tomato/Mozarella flatbread

As you can see my eating has not been the best. I always want to do good,
but then go astray. I think it has been more emotional eating lately. I have
been busy at work. When I don't find I get the success I want there, then
I get my happiness elsewhere. Sad, but I think it is true.

I am looking forward to the weekend. Another strawberry festival in
another town I am considering going to tomorrow. Either that or an
old car show. Perhaps both.

You have been very busy with your planting! Hope you enjoy your weekend.
