We always seem to get rain during the summer. Over the 4th of July weekend, we had a thunderstorm. It was refreshing but loud. I happen to open the front door to get mail, and boom I hear a thunder sound, it was so unbelievably loud. It startled me. The sky got so dark, it was crazy, but like I said refreshing. After that, the mugginess came and stuck around for a bit, until it rained a little bit more. During the week we will have 90's weather, then the coming weekend more rain lol. We didn't get a chance to sit on our deck because of the rain. But now the cushions are out, and when my husband gets home he goes out there for a while sits, and reads. I go out and sit for a little while and pet Pepper. Pepper is a friendly stray that hangs around the house. I spoke about her before. I'll be honest I am growing very fond of her. She Continue Reading
Real Life Gets Really Hectic
I don't even know where to begin. So I will just jump in. It has been over a month since I posted any kind of update. I have had so much going on. Between listing stuff for sale and keeping on top of that, writing reviews for products, feeding the cats inside and outside, and my day-to-day things here at home. It has been pretty hectic. So forgive me for not coming to post updates on anything, including my weigh-ins. As for my weigh-ins, I still do them, and I still keep track of them, so that I can come and do an update. Today I decided it has been long enough. I need to continue doing this, and making updates on life as well. This is the only real blog I post most on. I also am on Plurk, where I do updates on daily things, I like to keep track of. That shares to Twitter as well. I post a few things on Instagram but lately, I have Continue Reading
Weigh-in #17 – I’ve Been So Busy!
I have literally been so busy, I didn't get a chance to write in my journal this week!! Let alone blog a post. Wow, I need to manage my time better, the older I get the less time I have in a day, what is going on with that? Do you feel that way too? Do tell! Tomorrow I will be weighing in again, so I will post again on Monday. Sunday, April 30, 2023, was a great weigh-in, I lost 3.3 lbs, which is so exciting, I am down to 285 lbs, and little by little it is going down. Yesterday was Cinco de Mayo, I hope you all had a nice one. Ours was excellent, we made soft tacos with Mr. Tortilla, multigrain tortillas with 2 net carbs and 35 calories each, and quite delicious, check them out if interested. We used ground turkey and the usual things such as tomatoes, onions, sour cream, romaine lettuce, and shredded mozzarella cheese, and I had 1 Continue Reading
Weigh-in #16 – Intermittent Fasting Works!
I have been so busy, that I completely forgot to post on Tuesday, which is when I am trying to post now. Okay, so as my title states, yes intermittent fasting does work. It did great this first week for my current weigh-in. I lost 3.9 lbs, I was very happy. I feel I can intermittently fast in the mornings, and then have lunch, and then dinner. Which keeps my calorie intake lower. This is what I will be doing from here on in. I think it was a great success, and I hope on Sunday, I have another successful weigh-in. I am so happy to see the number going down on the scale. So very happy. The intermittent fasting is paying off and is worth it. Now to just continue doing what I am doing. When I fast, by the end of dinner, I am less than 1000 calories, so I need to eat a little more during the day. Because eating more at night is not a Continue Reading
Weigh-in #15 – What Can I Say? It Happens!
It is Friday, and I haven't lately been posting this late in the week. On Sunday when I weighed in. I thought I did well that week, but apparently, from what was staring back at me on the scale, it wasn't as good as I thought. I lost a measly .2 lbs. Was I disappointed? Absolutely! I was crushed! I expected more than that. At first, I thought I had lost 2 lbs. My husband said the expression on my face said I was not happy with the weight loss. Then, I was instantly corrected by what my husband said. He said I lost .2 lbs. I thought, What??? No way! I was thinking that in my head. I instantly just got so bummed out. My husband looks at me, and tells me "Don't let this discourage you", I said, "It's not, it just disappointed me!" That is where I am. I've been bummed all week, which is why I am just posting this today. On Tuesday I Continue Reading
