Have a great Tuesday.

Back to sunny weather this afternoon. Love the cooler temperatures in the 70-80s. Have you been able to work with Steel any? How are your knees doing? Suppose you will be busy with hay for the next few days. My pumpkin plant is growing like crazy. More flowers too since the rain. I guess I won't see any pumpkins growing on it for a few months. Do you know when they start growing usually? We haven't had too many bees buzzing around so perhaps we won't have any pumpkins.

Hope you have a fabulous Wednesday.

We couldn't cut any hay. The fields are too wet and it pulls the grass out by the roots. It was a beautiful day.

My knees are better. I have been working Steel a bit. I'm not supposed to run, so we just walk fast.

Do you have any tiny pumpkins on the vines? It's getting pretty late. Pumpkins take a long time to grow.

I'm judging the flower exhibits at a fair next Tuesday. There should be a lot of entries with all the wet weather we've had. Great for growing flowers.

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Today is a beautiful day. I spent the morning playing with my dog down at the river. Afterwards may dog and I walked to the local fire station and ate breakfast there at their fund raiser. This afternoon, my husband and I traveled around looking at laptops to buy. I figure out I would like a 14 inch laptop, but couldn't find one offering the exact options I wanted. So getting closer to getting a new computer soon.

I missed the Peach festival yesterday. I forgot all about it.

I have yellow sighted now on a sunflower plant. A lot more buds are popping up. I think this week will have a few more yellow heads. Yeah! No pumpkins yet, but still flowering.

I thought for sure you would have a slight change this week. Perhaps you will show a big impact in loss next week.

Hope you enjoyed your Sunday. Have a terrific Monday.

Do you ever watch tv shows or movies on your chromebook? What kind of browser does it have? I will have to take a look at them.

I hope you have fun at the fair. I signed up for a river ride event at a local fair this weekend, and and will be using a canoe. I will spend about an hour on the water rowing to various points to pick up playing cards. I think whoever gets the best hand wins some money. First time for me doing this. I'm still looking for another person for my canoe. If I don't find one, I will just take my dog and hope we don't flip. I think he will do okay though. He did fine when we went for a canoe ride in Canada. Although my husband was in the canoe too so maybe he kept it balanced better. Anyway, it should be fun.

Have a great Tuesday!

I have been working really long days. I need to manage my time at work better with my time away at home. Otherwise, I will just make myself sick. I am exhausted tonight. Tomorrow I will be off. I am glad about that. Have a great Friday.

No loss for me either this week. Oh well, better than gaining. It was a beautiful day today. I went for canoe ride with a friend as part of an event at county fair. It was fun. We didn't win any prizes, but had fun in the water and enjoying the scenery. Very relaxing. The afternoon I spent with my dog running agility. It was a beautiful day. My sunflowers are blooming like crazy now. We got a big storm Friday night and they just went crazy blooming. I'm glad the storm didn't tear them up or blow them down. Some are definitely 12 feet high now.

Hope you have a fabulous Sunday.

You must be a busy bee right now with your garden and storing things away for winter. That's the best kind of food, the stuff you grew and harvested yourself. I got eat up by mosquitoes this evening around 7pm. I thought I was just allergic to something at first with all the itching and scratching, and then I started seeing all the black bugs. ugh, it was horrible. My sunflowers are growing bigger. My husband had to tie them up to keep them from falling over. my pumpkin patch is taking over the side of the yard too. We will see just how many pumpkins pop out. I am hoping for a bunch (10-12). Hope you have a good Wednesday!

My husband found a box on our doorstep addressed to me.....from you.
How exciting! :carrot:
I am going to wait until this weekend to open it,
unless I should open it now.
Thank you so much for thinking of me. :hug:

Thank you for the gifts! I put them up in my kitchen area. They are great. Very festive for Fall. Thank you for thinking of me.

Today I ordered a new computer, so it won't be too much longer that I have to suffer on this one. Yeah!

Well my weight is up again by a few pounds, and I suppose after today it will go up even more after my food choices. So I will start all over again tomorrow with it being my new day one.

Today was actually cool and rainy. I had to wear a long sleeve shirt and a jacket while outside. However, I hear we will have sunshine by Monday.

Hope you had a good weigh-in and have a great Sunday! Thanks again. :)

Bought a dry erase board today with a calendar on it. Going to plot my husband's and my completion of daily exercises. Don't know how long he will got with with it, but it is worth a try. Good for me too to use it. Just noting pushups, situps, toe touches, and walk. Most of these exercises will be modified, but just getting started on them daily will help out. Need to incorporate some weight resistance training on there too. Just thought about that. Going to try to get myself back on track with everything. Going to give it a good go this time around. Need to get my eating back on track too. Guess I will give it a try with Slimfast to start. The chocolate ones don't taste too bad as long as they are cold. However, a couple of drinks and they are all gone. Guess once my stomach shrinks back down again, it will be fine. My goal is to lose 2 lbs a week reaching my goal close to Christmas. It will be tough, but I got to do this. I can if I put my mind to it. It is time to get my body healthy and in shape once again.

It was a beautiful day today. I completed all my activities I set out to do on my calendar. My husband completed none of them. So much for doing things together. I just asked him if he wanted to go for a little walk later on, and he said he may consider it. That was after I told him I put a blue completed check mark for me on the calendar today. We shall see if he goes or not.....

I have ice cream and gummy bunnies left over from the weekend. I was able to fight off the urge to eat them today. I could smell the gummy bunnies when my husband was eating them. Smelled good, but the power to get thin was stronger. So I was able to avoid the sweets today. Yeah.

How did your day go today? Were you able to fight off or limit temptations?
