I gave my son one for Christmas and he loves his. I got a used one for $40. I’ve heard good things.

I also got to sneak and watch her work.See this image largerWent hiking yesterday and did 3-4 miles. Saw elk. It’s was cold (in the 30s), but beautiful.See this image largerWhere I was yesterday.

My son ate a slice or two and was done and his girlfriend took it to a potluck. Moving out temptations fast helps me.

Lost 23 (more than likely 25) pounds since beginning of the year.

I have a peanut butter weakness and never purchase it because I’d eat it by the spoonful all day long. Watching calories helps me. This adds flavor and protein. 70 calories per 2 tbs serving, 2 g fat, and 8 g protein. I’m a happy faeSee this image largerSee this image largerThe most beautiful smell in the world. They can’t capture the scent of lilacs and bottle it.

And I didn’t have to try to do the selfie angle to hide my chubby face. So excited with the changes!See this image largerToo baggy! WAY too baggy! Headed to donation pile. I got rid of clothes I didn’t love last winter and now I’m getting rid of clothes that are too big!See this image largerThis coffee looks decadent, and it is. But it’s my pressed coffee that I frothed the milk with my secura milk frother. I was able to stop with heavy cream in my coffee and use 1/3 cup of 2% fairlife. It’s cut fat and calories and the rich mouth feel from the frothed milk makes me feel like I’m having a treat. I never thought I’d stop with cream in coffee.See this image largerRaise your hand if you burned calories through anxiety while watching last nights episode of Game of Thrones! Probably the best episode of any show I’ve ever watched! Whew!See this image largerDinner last night. 900 calories because of the house made chips. Ahi Tuna with Black Beans & Rice topped with Sautéed Vegetables, Sliced Avocado, Chow Chi, Cilantro, Lime, & Chang Aioli. If I didn’t have that it would have been hundreds of calories less. Not worried. My total for the day was 1415. 27# down! Increased my step goal by 1000 a day.See this image largerFirst is 18# and second is 30# down. Going to keep going.

And I didn’t start back until January 2019. I am confident I put on weight between August and January. Comfort eating after my daddy passed away. Now I am 33# down since January 1! I don’t have any pictures of me right at the beginning because I was so embarrassed. Getting there! Super happy and feeling great! Seeing changes more and more. And feeling better and better.See this image largerI always toss my cut flowers from bouquets out into the yard to decompose. The other day this caught on the phone line! 😂See this image largerThis book has been super helpful with my changes now. It does not advocate a certain way of eating or food choices, but it changes the way you approach food and choices. It’s based on cognitive behavior therapy. I am a huge fan.See this image largerOne year ago. I did not start losing weight until January of this year. But this picture came up in my Facebook memories a few days ago. And I put a few more pounds on after this picture. I am now down almost 38 pounds. I would like to go another 10 to 15. But right now I’m thrilled with myself. #BeforeAndAfterSee this image larger(2 comments)See this image largerMy happy is that one of my blog posts was chosen as a featured blog post! Yay!See this image largerBeach! I plan on lots of walks and swimming either in the ocean or the pool. Or both!See this image largerVacation! Walking, swimming, reading and eating lean and clean. I got this! I can be on vacation and not gain weight.See this image largerI thought I’d share that I’m starting to feel more proud with how i look. Feeling more comfortable and confident. I’m wearing a bathing suit and heading down to the pool. I swam at the beach this morning and swimming at the pool and walking a lot. (And yes, I’m on vacation and brought my spinning wheel).See this image largerAt the beach with my eldest son. I went with him, his girlfriend, my 16 year old daughter and her friend. I didn’t blow my diet while there and walked and swam so much. Last year I was over 40# heavier and didn’t do as much.See this image largerPrincipe Borghese Tomatoes. Aren’t they pretty? It was my happy to step outside and pick these. I’ll be cooking them tonight with local okra and onions and garlic. I’m also going to roast some local corn. Nothing better than knowing where your food comes from.See this image largerHard to get your steps in when you’re followed by 1-6 dogs from room to room!

I celebrate every ounce down. I’ve steadily been losing since January of this year. I weigh myself a few times a week and every time, even if it’s a small amount I will say “YES! I’ll take that!” 47 down. I feel better than I have in years!See this image largerToday’s funny.See this image largerAlly honey bee on a beekeepers hand.

I wanted to savor it but I had to get it on the loom and weave it. Most of my handwoven items are sold, but this delicious shawl is for me. And I’m showing it and me. Usually you’d just see the items. I’d be hiding.See this image larger#BeforeAndAfterSee this image largerday 400 of my streak for "Log in and spin the SparkPoints wheel" earned 2/1/2020See this image largerThis is what losing 60 pounds looks like. #BeforeAndAfterSee this image largerWalking on the beach.

She’s an amazing herbalist. This is her recipe for fire cider which is a lovely way to boost your immune system. It’s easy to make. If you can’t source the ingredients, see if you can find some ready made. Loads of herbalists out there with it ready to go.See this image largerIt’s challenging times, but it’s here. Sending love and support.See this image largerGot my workout ahead... three new veggie beds and back amending my 4th. Weeding my herbs and flowers since the weather broke for a few days. Staying home and being healthy.See this image largerYesterday’s workout. My 15 year old terrier snuck out through the cat door on my porch and went on a 3 hour walk about. What a crazy adventure. I didn’t know he’d escaped until my daughter called him for dinner and he didn’t come. The whole neighborhood was looking for him. He visited a chicken coop, made friends and I found him a few streets away. I live in the city with lots of green space. He was quite proud of himself. See this image largerPutting together new veggie beds and hauling soil. My workout this weekend. I’ve lost even more weight. 63 plus pounds down. Staying home except for walks and not eating everything in sight.See this image largerToday’s happy. This shirt my sister gave me. It fits. The shirt. The words.See this image largerView from my elliptical this evening. On my back porch. (Small house). 25 minutes. Different work out than my walks!

I probably blew my diet today but y’all: look at this sourdough bread I made. The crumb is beautiful. It tastes amazing. I made it from three ingredients: flour water and salt. The four and water created a living starter of natural yeast and I fed it until it was bread making time. It’s perfect. I am happy.See this image largerAfter gardening selfie See this image largerMe.

I’ve made and frozen red sauce and dehydrated them and been making fresh salsa with them. Oh and roasting them with veggies. Just picked more and more tomatillos.
