Happy Father's Day. I don't think we have any fathers out there but everyone has a father somewhere in their lives.

Hehehe, hilarious... alergic to 200 pounds. Well yesterday was great. Good food (a small scoop of icecream after dinner but otherwise all my veggies, protein and fiber) and my ST went well. Felt great in fact. Today I am preparing for a canoe trip and have all my clothes laid out on the ground. I'm needing waterproof splash or paddling pants so am going to go to the thrift store in the small chance that I'll find some. DD may still say no to some of my clothes as I have some duplicates and we have to travel super light as there are 9 portages. I think I've done well. We are expecting cold and thunder storms so the "fun" will be the adventure and challenge... and less being in the elements. I still have nearly 2 weeks to be ready but will start making the chili to freeze and be ready to heat up right before we go (tradition to have chili in a thermos for our first site we paddle into as it is always dark - can't leave town till some people get off work) and helping middlest DD make beef jerky. We have a recipe but did not stick to it last time and it was sooo delicious. Can we make it again? Nothing like the terrible stuff you buy in the stores. Good source of protein and won't go bad. Hopefully we can come up with a similar recipe. Plus I have some dehydrated veggies to play with the next few days and come up with a nice dinner with chick peas to have with wraps. This morning I made eggs with precooked bacon in poach pods and they were great so that will be one breakfast with minimal cleanup in the campsite. My youngest DD is looking after the other meals.

Oh my goodness guys! Hot for you! We have had such crazy weather I have given up preparing. Sorry I have been out of the loop here. I considered avoiding the computer today but missed you all. So, HI! Today I am trying to get back on track for ST3x/wk and Cardio 3x/wk with a bit of a push for each. I have a canoe trip in 2 weeks and want to feel good on day 2 and 3... lots of portages. I was also feeling frustrated as my weight went up a bit, got back to 203, then started creeping up again. Just a pound or two fluctuating but I have been working on these last few pounds up and down for a while and am tired of it. When I looked carefully at what I am doing to "work" at it I realized I have gotten a little lazy using snow blowing and household chores as exercise. So.... this week I hope to get back to a better place. It is hard at this age for me to remember my goals and stay on track. I say that but was I much better in my 20's? Getting distracted from personal goals was hard then too. I used to flip flop between diets then and overdo it with exercises and quit. No, it's different now. Much more consistent. I have quite a few spark friends in maintenance now and I have to admit I'm a bit envious. Someday!
I have joy in my soul and joy in my step. Walk with me.

Big party tonight--high school grad and 50th birthday party! Cleaned from top to bottom yesterday. There were six of us cleaning so it went fairly fast.

Relaxing and lots of fun. The grands had a great time and Avery even went in the 55 degree water! No fish caught!

I have been reading the new Spark Book along with other members. We are getting daily checkups and updates. It's nice to know that thousands of people are going through what you are. In 2 days I've lost 4 pounds. I know most of it is probably water, but I feel good. I have tomatoes almost ripe and some squash that's ready to be picked. Woo hoo. Cooler today. In the 80s.

well, looks nice out at this moment. I have started gardening and have some projecs in mind. Daffodils are pretty much done now and I'm thinking of doing some square foot gardening. My food has not been great... too much driving. Hope to stay close to home the rest of this week.
I have joy in my soul and joy in my step. Walk with me.

Sounds like fun. I used to have a doggie cookie dog. When you opened the head, it played "Who Let The Dogs Out." The dogs would come running from all corners of the house!

Don't know if you know the "Suppertime" song from the play "Your A Good Man Charlie, but I sing it when I'm about to feed the animals. They all come stampeding and then one or all of them sing along. It is so funny. Having a bed and breakfast there are always guests who marvel at "teaching" them this trick. The most consistent to sing is Niffernitsayaka (Egyptian for she who is blessed with beauty and goodness of heart) and her song starts almost from when I open my mouth and does not stop until the food hits the bowl. pretty much in time with me. If she is delayed somewhere else in the house, then Billy will voice his opinions although it is more syncopated. Christal (the dog) dances about and makes little excited wimpers. This happens twice a day and you would think the poor things are starving, lol. But I admit I enjoy it and it is probably a game to them too.
I have joy in my soul and joy in my step. Walk with me.
