Today is going to be interesting....Oh, and the scale said I'm still at 269, and thats ok by me!!
Interesting in the fact that I'm gong to do some canning!! Our friends we went to visit over the weekend gave me 2 plastic walmart bags full of roma tomatoes! I have everything else, and will finally get to can something this year!!!
My garden did produce, just not a whole lot. I got tons of blooms on my zucchini, but only had 3 nice size ones to eat!! Our friends gave me 2 huge ones, that I have to wash up, deseed and chop, and I may make some stewed and can that too!! I have to deseed them because they are so big, and the seeds are usually really big and hard. I think my pepper plants are done, but I still have some blooms and buds on them, My tomatoes are just about finished, and I didn't get many of those this year. I will plant more next year.
Enough about my garden, I had an eat what you want weekend, instead of and eat what you want day. We went to visit our friends, and their daughter turned 15 on saturday. As you can imagine, there was cake and icecream and goodies!!! I think I did fairly well!! Just a little over 1600 calories on saturday, adn 1700 on sunday. Friday was the bad day at 1990 calories! But, I have to go to PT today, and I'll be going to the gym right after, and that is burning a bunch of calories!!
I think I've been doing really good, and I'm not going to get all bent because I didn't stay within that certain calorie count for a few days!! I know what I have to do, and I need to accept that I will do this on occasion, and I will hold steady on weight too once in a while.. No need to get all upset. I am still learning to love me, just as I am!! I am moving through that, and getting on with life!! I know I need to lose weight to feel better, breathe better and move and walk better. I just refuse to let a scale and calorie count bully me!!
Thats what I feel like, right now. I know this is more of a lifestyle change, and not really so much of a diet. I am losing weight in the process, and that is a good thing. I need to take the time to adjust to this new lifestyle. It isn't the easiest thing to do, by a long run!! Its hard, but then anything worth having is gained through hard work!!
Have you ever noticed children, that are given everything, do not take care of anything they have??? Its because they know, even at a young age, that it doesn't matter, because they know mom or dad will just buy them a new one to replace it. Then there are those children that have to work for what they want, (chores etc,) and when they get the thing they want, they take care of it, because they worked for it, and know that they won't get a replacement if it breaks!!
I should amend that, and say that kids whose parents have a good sized income, do not take care of things, and children who's families don't have a very big income know that they have to make things last because they know that their parents can't afford to buy another.
I hope to get a good 10 pints (fingers crossed) of tomatoes canned!! That is 10 store bought cans of tomatoes that I don't have to buy later, and I know whats in them!!! Tomatoes, canning salt, lemon juice and water!! Thats it! Yummy goodness!! I still am trying to figure out when this is going to happen, as I am home alone, and I have to go to p t at 1:45. Its only 8:54 right now, but with cleaning up in the kitchen, and getting that pot of water going, plus the one to boil the jars, plus the little pot for the lids and well, I may have to wait until the hubs comes home!! Until then, I think I'll put the roast in the slow cooker, and get that started for supper tonight!!
Got a nice rump roast, and once that is cooked, that is supper. I know we won't eat the whole thing, so the leftovers will be soup!!! I'll cut that baby up, add some more veggies, some broth and water, and let the slow cooker work its magic for the next day's supper!! An of course my next few days lunch!!
I guess I rambled on enough this morning!! I hope everyone had a good weekend, and have a Fabulous Monday!!
