yardwork should count as double steps

yardwork should count as double steps

After 2 days of weed whacking, my arms feel like jello. Tomorrow, they'll be sore. If we have another rain within the next few days, they'll barely be feeling normal before it's time to start all over again. Hello rural living! 🙂 All the way to the creek the weeds...

intermittent fasting and sunset #42 of 52

This diet -- low carb combined with intermittent fasting -- works. The bad news is, I'm HANGRY. This only eating between 11:00 AM and 7:00 PM sucks. I want food at 10:30 or so... even something low in calories would be just fine. But nope. Ya get nada. 🤐 I like...

what kind of diet shall i try this time?

When Katie, Jerilyn, and I did our weight loss project last year, I did Weight Watchers. Jerilyn drank water by the gallon and concentrated on low carb foods with one day a week designated as "cheat day" where she ate anything she wanted. Katie did meal prep with low...

sunset #32 of 52: plus equal rights and the internet

i couldn’t love it any more…

Buying this place is probably the best decision I've ever made. I love it so much! There are times I just take random photos of what I'm looking at... It sounds crazy, but it feels like a relief! I've said 100 times that I wasn't a fan of living in Seymour even though...

low-key celebration today

I've lived to see another birthday. At the age that I hate having a big deal made about it, I just want to relax. Yesterday, it was nice outside... After a night of high winds, today it's cold and rainy. Still, I merely want to get something I especially like to eat...
