Weeding at Heather's house

Went to the Quad Cities Campus Friday- these are from the tour of the new Riverfront building.

Went straight from work to help Heather weed.

This is what we started with

And this is how we ended

Hummingbirds

Saw my first hummer at the feeder this morning! I was worried that I wouldn't get any in town. Love to watch them! I'll be putting more feeders out tonight.

As far as the scale goes - 166.0 this morning - I really need to stop THINKING about tae bo and start DOING it.

Pictures of the long weekend.

Diet not good - between the german chocolate cake, hamburgers, french fries, deep fried jalapeno/cheese bites.................. it was a long weekend and I totally enjoyed it. But I topped the scale at 167.0 lbs this morning - NOT GOOD!

 Otherwise - this is how I spent my time off:

 The names are what I am working on for Christmas presents this year. I have 3 others done but they are already put away. I plan on making a total of 24 so I'm off to a good start - as long as my hands don't give out and I don't have too much homework when classes start.

Zucchini, summer squash & acorn squash

cucumbers

herbs

corner plot - squash, peppers, herbs & cucumbers

tomatoes-all doing well - just planted at different times

beans - had to replant some to fill in

brussel sprouts, broccoli & more beans - notice the sprout that Kimmy pulled out - therefor the bricks around them.

 and last - a few pictures of the house:

Still trying

Ok, can't keep up with blogging every day and I haven't stepped on the scale since last friday. I was bad over the weekend and am afraid to - but I will - and I am going to get this 15 lbs off!

Hanging in there

I'm still at 163.4 this morning - a bit disappointing as I really didn't eat much yesterday. If my calculations are correct, I stayed under 1200 calories.


On another note, got my over the stove microwave last night and a stainless steel coffee pot. Kitchen is coming along quite nicely!
