Feeling the year slipping by....

Well here it is September almost October. and I still have not meet my weight loss goal. I know everyone tells me that losing slow will help me keep it off but I can be impatient sometimes. I try to remember how far I have come but I just keep looking toward where I want to be. I had a WW meeting tonight and I had gained 4.4 pounds. I knew I was going to have a gain but was not expecting this much. I am on that wagon again losing 3-4 pounds and losing the same 3-4 pounds. So frustrating. This is the lowest I have been on my scales and I was so excited but it did not last long.

 

Well I will get it back off and get to my goal It is time to get strict again. That is enough about that. 

Let's get caught up with things on the farm. I have been canning and tying to keep things moving along in the house. When we got back from Seth had to have some dental surgery. He did really well and I was proud of him.

Me and Seth waiting to have surgery

Seth also had a birthday he turned 27 years old. How did that happen???  I remember when the boys were little and I thought it was so hard to take care of them. Could not wait until they would get old and be able to reason with them better. The reality is that it is actually harder in lots of ways. When they were little it was easier to know when they were sick, when they were in pain because I had to do everything for them. Now Seth is so independent and worries all the the time about everything. He makes me worry more know then when he was little. He will not tell you when he does not feel good or if something hurts. Oh well I try my best to take care of him and I pray everyday some time several times a day to have guidance to do the best I can.

 

The Farmer found a perfect snake skin up at the chicken houses in the generator building.

 

The persimmons are falling and I have started selling my pulp. 

 

Canning a few tomatoes

 

Air fried some okra.  I used this salad dressing to toss it in and it is really yummy.

 

Also been enjoying stuffed pepper. I use Perdue ground chicken browned and some salsa that I canned to it. Cut the peppers in half and roast in the oven until tender. Then I fill them up with the meat and top with colby jack cheese. I put it back in the oven to melt the cheese. Yummy!!

 

 

Well that is about all I have. Thanks for stopping by

Trying to blog....

I had to switch servers to get back on blogger. Not sure what is going on with safari but all is good now. Not a lot has been going on around here. We had a beach vacation which was nice. We did are usually things and it was relaxing. I am still doing WW and I have lost 20lbs It has been a slow go and I have been off track every since we went on vacation. I am still struggling and I have got to get back on track. Here are a few pictures from the beach.

When we got home we had garden stuff coming in.

Blueberries

Blackberries

Onions and green beans

 I have also made some dill pickles I forgot to take pictures of and we have a lot of yellow squash coming in. Today we rode out to grandmas house and I took pictures of the sunflowers.

 We also rode over to the pasture and I saw something climb up a tree in the pasture. I got the Farmer to go and see what it was.

Isn't he cute!

Well that is about all I have. Hope all is going good for yall. Thanks for stopping by.

Just posting to see if my blog is working

My blog is out of wack for some reason. When I  go on my home page it says I am not signed in. but I can see all the blogs I follow and can click on them to read them but it will not let me make comments. So know I am checking to see if I can post a new blog post. If anyone can help me out I would appreciate it. Thanks

Is it already May... Almost June

Wow I have been slack on making a post. Not a lot has happen around here since I posted last. I am still doing Weight Watchers and I have lost 13.8 pounds in 3 months. This is a very slow weight loss but I just can not lose weight like I did when I was young. I am so Happy that I have lost this much and slow weight loss they say you are more likely  to keep it off. I do over indulge on food but on WW the usual weight loss is around 1-2 pounds a week and that is what I have been doing.

We have not gotten our gardens planted yet it has been wet around here but hopefully this week we will get it planted. I am so ready for some fresh veggies.

We have had memorial day at my church where my daddy and his mom my grandma is buried.

Daddy

Grandma

I had a good Mother's Day and I hope that all of the mothers out in the blog world had a good day also.  I got me a new sports bra made by shefit. I love it! I also got me some new protein bars that are yummy and only 3 smart points. I also got me a new WW cookbook.

Mother's Day weekend is memorial day at the Church that my mama and her family is buried at.

Me and my sister did a snapchat filter that makes you look like a man. I think I look like daddy and my sister looked like my brother.

Oh well this is about all i have for now I will be back and I hope to have a story about the garden.

March...

Tomorrow is the first day of April and I have been so slack on blogging it is not even funny. I need a new battery for my notebook. It has gotten where it only keeps a charge for about an hour and then it dies. I am planning on getting a battery this month. So little has been going on around here that I have not had much to blog about.

In the month of March I rejoined Weight Watchers. I have lost 6 pounds so far and I hope to do better. Being older has really slowed my losing weight powers. I have still been exercising daily except on Sundays that I take for a rest day. I have gotten back into fitbit challenges so I try to walk everyday during the week. I am trying hard to get my food on track and I feel like for most part I am doing so much better on other days it seems so hard.

1st day of WW

 1st 5 pounds

Need to always remember these words.

Also this month I went to my first tour of tables at a  local church. I got to see some old friends and spend time with my church family. Here are some of the tables.

This is the table my friends and I sat at. My friend Heather designed it

The farmers cousins wife did this one

and I just liked this one

I also won a devotion book that I am going to start tomorrow.  

I  have been going to bible journaling and I am loving it. I have been loving the warmer weather. We have 2 new calves from our new bull Sully and they are heifers. 

I made myself a new tank top from one of my favorite songs by Mandissa "I am Just Unfinished"

We went fishing and only caught a few very small crappies but my son Seth caught a pretty good size bass.

Well I guess that is about all that happened in March. I will try to do better blogging in April. I am starting a new Beachbody exercise program tomorrow Transform 20 with Shaun T. I am nervous about it. Also in April It is my birthday month and I am excited about that!! Also going to Joytime Lady conference and Natalie Green is singing I am so excited to be going with my church family and I won 2 tickets to take 2 of my family/friends. I will be blogging about that. Well I will close for now. Thanks for stopping by.

Nothing to talk about but rain....

I have gotten so slack on posting a blog. I don't have much to talk about. WW is going good so far. I have lost 2.8 pounds. I got my dear from to join with me and she lost 4 pounds the first week. I have got to do better. I have not lost anything this week so far and weight in is Tuesday. I  am trying to get my act together. It has been chilly and rainy and I have not been out to take any pictures. We have a new calf maybe i can get out this week and get a picture of it.

I went shopping and got myself some new tops. I wore this one the other day and realized that my elephant has what looks like Christmas lights on it. But you know what I don't care I am going to wear it any way. I love.

It has been warm enough for the daffodils to bloom. 

I have got to buy a new battery for my MacBook it has gotten where it will not keep a charge. It is fixing to die right now so I guess I better close. Thanks for stoping by.

Weight Watchers

I have rejoined weight watchers after probably 10 years of not. I came so close to to goal back in 2003 and I quit and never could do good at it anymore. I only joined for 3 months and I am hoping that this will be what I need to get my act together. I really would love to get to goal this year. It is only 35 pounds and that is doable. I was surprised that with my clothes on bluejeans and a sweatshirt I weighed 196.4 I was kinda of proud of that. I know that sounds weird but I am trying to find the Joy in everything.

I am also doing the best devotion called Messy People by: Jenifer Cowart. I highly recommend it.
It has been raining so much around here. The farm is a muddy mess and I have not taken any pictures lately. Well this is not much of a post but I tried. Thanks for stoping by.
