I was told at the greenhouse that the ground is too cold still here, usually I plant my annuals over Mother's day weekend, so I have a few weeks to plan
and it's supposed to snow overnight Monday
after that last cold cold night, I have a rhubarb bulb that I'm excited to plant ! I'm also going to plant some lettuce seeds this year. Other bulbs that I bought to plant in a few weeks include a white bleeding heart and dahlias. I haven't grown dahlias yet from bulbs
We never plant before Memorial Day here, unless it is in a planter that we can carry into the garage or cover up. Once or twice during a very warm spring we have plant a bit earlier than that, but it is risky. But lettuce you can start now! It doesn't mind a bit of cold!
well I had been doing sooooo good with my food journaling until this weekend! GRRRR!! I had a busy weekend, away from home all day Saturday and I let myself slip into..i'll get back on it tomorrow. well, tomorrow I must come and tell you on that I'm back on MFP journaling faithfully!!!
QOTD Monday 4/14/14 -- What is your favorite way to get yourself back on track?
It is SO easy to fall away from tracking, so I totally understand the frustration. Sometimes I even go back and make notes in my food journal if I miss a day or more of tracking, just so that if I look back I KNOW what I was doing that weekend (away, super busy, whatever).
My favorite way to get myself back on track???? PLANNING! I will plan ahead, in writing, several days of food and exercise. I also try to plan in some SUPER healthy meals like juicing, green smoothies and big salads. I feel like I am HEALING myself and making the BEST CHOICES possible when I eat like that. I will also go very low carb for a few days or even a week. It really helps kick start my weight loss and give me a little extra boost in the right direction!
Hi Ladies - It was such a nice weekend for everyone (well a bit rainy for me yesterday) from the sounds, I am starting to get back in the grove.. I have been sleeping better now that the worry of my Gram has lifted and because I took it soo far I am prepared for my Dr to give me a good lecture on Wed when I see him.. I have a new plan in place, this week I am sticking to WW and then starting next Monday 4/21 I am starting back on Atkins and will be doing inductions for at least 2 weeks but maybe up to 4.. I have to rid my body of the "white" crap I've been comfort eating for the past month.... I have a free month of WW so I will use that starting May 1st and I will get to attend 5 Saturday am meetings so that will be good.. My last Zumba session is Tuesday then she takes a week off then will start again I think on the 29th.. I will sign up for that.. my free membership at the gym ended last week, still undecided if I'll continue since the weather has finally turned the nice corner.. wow I had a lot to say.. LOL
Hope you all have a fantastic week and I'll pop on Thurs to update you all on my Dr visit.. hugs and pixie dust to all that are in need of it.. Michelle
Did I miss some news about your Gram? Anyhow, I'm glad you are back with us!! Looking forward to how you do with your free month of WW and getting back to induction phase of Atkins. I know that is always a big weight loss kicker for me!
If you can stay inspired to workout on your own, I say ditch the gym membership (and the fees!) for the spring and summer! But that being said, I know you really love Zumba, so don't give that up if you really want to continue!

Okay folks! Happy Monday! Still waiting for a few weigh-ins so that I can update the first page!
I'm at work today, but it is PAJAMA day, so I felt free to come to school in my best sweat pants and favorite Mickey Mouse t-shirt!
I've probably fallen asleep in them a few times, so that counts!
WOOHOO for a comfortable day!!
There is something strange up with the monitor here at school and it keeps shutting down. I can't figure out how to fix it, but I just keep typing as it goes black and then I hit the switch when I have a second to think.
Wish I could share a picture of my smoothie this morning! It is really GREEEEEN! It is a pumpkin/almond milk/power greens/berry juice smoothie (the berry juice is from the frozen berries that we defrost for yogurt). It is pretty good! And I feel SO healthy sucking it down!
Well.... here come the troops! I'll be back later to chat!................P
