6 am is definitely too early to get up on a Saturday morning and it is my first day of holidays, but I'm up, wide awake. The coffee is hot, the dogs are mostly calm so this is my ME time (unless I have to get up to chase Dudley to take something out of his mouth - lol). Puppies are so much like little children - everything goes in his mouth.

Today I am going to work on the yard. Mother Nature has given us a reprieve from snow - there still isn't any on the ground yet - so I may actually get to put my gardens to bed this year. I know I keep saying I'm going to do it and something else always pulls me in a different direction - but today I am going to complete this. There is no way I want to be pulling rotten leaves, etc from my gardens in the Spring. I did that this year - blech!

So my plan for today is to spend the majority of the day outside - cutting, digging and raking. Get lots of activity in - fresh air and hopefully some sunshine. Not sure what the forecast is going to be - it's minus 1 degree celcius right now but it's suppose to go up to 9. Perfect weather for guerrilla gardening.

I've been peaking at the scale and my weight has been slowly going down, which is a good sign. My official weigh-in is not until Nov 18 so I've some time to get back down before then. Food is definitely not going to be my priority this vacation - activity is! I will eat food for fuel but there are no celebrations nor activities that seem to revolve around food - which is a really really good thing.

Well I'm off to start my day - have a great Saturday my lovely Sparkfriends!
