Good Morning

and happy first day of October.

I was reading something this week about people that work with yarn, crochet, or cross stitch or work with plastic canvas, something about working with the yarn has a calming effect on the body and it lowers you blood pressure and helps balance your sugar diabetes. I though that was pretty interesting.

I do like working with plastic canvas it gives my hands something to do other that unwrap a piece of candy. Also keeps my mind off of any goodies I might have stashed in the pantry.

I am going out and mow a little, (45 minutes to an hour)
but before I do that I need to do my 15 minutes on the weight machine. I will do the weights as soon as I finish here.

I just watched "flowers in the attic" I an not a fan of the lady that wrote this series of books, and i had never watched the movie before today. But I cut the tv on for company while I straightened the family room and that was on and I got interested. I found the movie disturbing and i actually got angry at that mother and grandmother and grandfather. I know it was just a movie but I also know that this type of child abuse goes on all the time.

menu for today

breakfast, oatmeal and juice

lunch -salad

supper-veggieburger, grilled zuchini w/ onions, yams, green lima beans, small salad,

snack -trail mix.

The next time I make trail mix I am definately NOT going to use the huge economy size packages of the things that I use.

I have noticed that there is not as much extra flab that underneith my arm as there used to be. I love it when I can see tangable results of my hard work.

Have a good day everyone .


I will check in again, probably around lunch time.

12:36 PM

I did the mowing but I have not worked out on the weight machine yet. I will do that later this afternoon. It was so humid outside that it took a lot out of me. and I just did not have the energy to do the weights. I will do them, I am feeling better now. In a few hours I am sure I will be back to normal.


I did not have breakfast cause by the time I finished out side it was almost itme for lunch so i just fixed a salad. i don't worry too much about not eating the oatmeal but I know that the juice is good for me so i will drink some juice about mid afternoon, I know that I need the vitamins.


Thats it for my morning

I will check in later

8:49

I finished my weights, for some reason it was a little bit harder to do today than normal. Maybe pushing the mower this morning wore me out more than it normally does.

I changed my supper menu tonight. I had a salad, and my dh wanted some tuna helper, so I fixed that and I had about 1/2 cup maybe a little more than 1/2 cup. I should have measured it, but anyway I know it was less than 1 cup. and I never did drink the juice, I will have to be sure to get that in me tomorrow.

I will try to check in one more time before i go to bed.
