Yesterday I was fastening the belt on my jeans in front of the bathroom mirror and I noticed my weight loss is finally becoming noticeable in my hips and waist. Maybe I should call it fitness instead of weight loss. I got myself discouraged with the scale a few weeks ago and a friend reminded me I could be building muscle. So yeah; the scale number isn't the indicator to go with! It's nice to SEE the results!

I find it ironic that you should comment on 'fitness".. What came to me yesterday, is that: I am always taking about dieting for weight loss. It sounds monotonous and tedious-- never mind discouraging. I was thinking that I should call it: Eating Healthy, instead of dieting. It sounds so much better. I think it would be a more positive way of looking at dieting/food intake, etc.... or focus on the words" Being Healthy...

Took J to a cute little zoo with native Illinois animals. She had fun getting to walk around.

Lari I love J's hat - so adorable.

My positive is I had an appointment with the allergist today and he said my numbers (breathing) haven't been this good in a long time. I told him it must be my recent pickleball activity.

”Pickle” ball. Gives me an odd image of batting a pickle about! My positive, I think, is I just got the latest Moderna booster. Arm’s a bit sore, but happy to be the neighborhood guinea pig.

You are the best mom ever, I wish you were mine! What animals did they have? Probably no llamas...

My positive is we got our Walmart pickup order today. I got sour cream donuts, cream cheese brownies, sugar free peanut butter cups to see if I like those better, butterfinger fun size bars, canned asparagus spears, Tofurkey vegetarian sausage, 4 different iced coffee type drinks, Daiya Gluten Free vegetarian supreme pizza, figs, Wyke Farms British Extra Sharp Cheese, Gouda savory pastry and Spinach Ricotta savory pastry. I hope the last 2, savory pastries are vegetarian. They didn't list the ingredients on the site and I haven't had time to check the packages yet.

Actually, they did have a couple of llamas! There were a few farm animals like goats, chickens, and cows. Coyote, deer, fox, raccoon. There was supposed to be a bobcat, but it was hidden. Some owls and other birds. It was cute and good for toddler age.

Llamas are my favorite!!! Did J get to feed the goats? We always did as kids at the fun parks.

My positive is my 2 savory pastries I bought are indeed vegetarian, so I will probably have those for lunch.

There wasn't an option for feeding, just looking.

Happy Birthday to Youngest!

I had such a busy week with assignments and I had a research proposal paper due last night. Thought I would be able to finish it on time but I did and I handed it. Now I can have a stress free weekend.

Maybe because of the pandemic?

My positive is I placed a small Nuts.com order. I try to only order once a week on Mondays, but I had a free shipping coupon. So I got Cinnamon Sugar Dried Apples, French Vanilla Cappuccino Powder, and Bhakarwadi spicy Indian dessert.

My grandfather's old kitchen table was in my mother's cellar. the top is in rough shape, but the bottom is sturdy.

The thought of throwing this into a dumpster has been really bothering me, but I had reached out to quite a few people with no interest. I contacted one last person and they came and got it this morning. He repurposes furniture and took another table as well.

The weather is so nice today. It's in the 60s and sunny so I went outside for about an hour and read my book.

That is just a wonderful table. So glad someone will refurbish it and give it a new home. Does that front green edge swing out or open?

My mom came and got my kids for the night. I could be washing dishes but instead I’m watching Stone House Revival with a cookie.

There is one on each side and they are leaves that pull out.

Wish I could have the washing machine!

My positive is I got a 15% off coupon, so placed an order for some nut butters from Big Spoon Roasters. I'd rather place orders on Mondays only, but I keep getting coupons! I got full size of Pistachio Almond Butter, Espresso Almond Butter, and Fig Almond Butter. I got sample size of spicy Habanero Peanut Butter, Coconut Cashew Butter, Toasted Coconut Almond Butter, and Honey Almond Butter.

I just love the green edges. Is the top metal or wood? When I moved into this house a small stove like the one In your picture was left in the basement. It’s actually quite nice to have an extra stove for big family meals.
