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...

only 9 more sunsets to make it for a full year – #43

only 9 more sunsets to make it for a full year – #43

It's a Monday morning and I've yet to start my day by 10:00 AM. I'm a slacker... my weekend walking was pathetic, I ate pork rinds during fasting time, and I've slept around 9 hours in 2 days. But I did grab a photo of sunset #43 of 52! And, I cooked breakfast for my...

intermittent fasting and sunset #42 of 52

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...

I've got to work on this intermittent diet plan crap. I do great not eating in the mornings, but at night? Not so great. I'm doing it so far, but it isn't sustainable at this rate. I need to be a better planner. With the 8 hours of eating time and 16 hours of NOT...

more rain and sunset #41 of 52

I love drinking my first cup of coffee outside by the pool. I get my phones and head for the adirondack chair while the puppies take to the yard. It's peaceful out there except for an occasional distant moo sound from farmer Rex's cows. After a hard rain, I can hear...

sunset #39 of 52 and it’s time to break out a better camera

Summer was in full swing... for maybe 3 days. Yesterday it rained ALL DAY LONG and today we have cooler than normal temps. Not swimming weather... again. I did catch a ASNutiful sunset though and it's #39 of 52. My phones' cameras aren't good enough. It's time to...

sunset #38 of 52… is anything real anymore?

sunset #38 of 52… is anything real anymore?

I have a sunset to share. I took the photo from my backyard last night... Crazy what AI can do, right? That's a true Indiana sunset, it's just that the landscape was created by using Photoshop's generative AI. (Basically, the program generates an image based upon text...

a bad back and bad air — what’s up with that?

a bad back and bad air — what’s up with that?

I've started back on my treadmill routine. That exercise has been pretty non-existent because of all the contractor activity around here, so getting motivated was difficult. I'm on day #3 today and my back is jacked. I don't know if it was the new push mower along...
