Farmer’s Market haul. If you read my last post you know I have been doing a lot of cooking from scratch using fresh ingredients.  While at the Farmer’s Market I picked up some fruit and veggies.  But today I focused on the small cucumbers I got in this haul to make pickles.  I started gathering […]

As promised here is what I’ve been doing to loose the extra weight I have gained over the last couple of years.  It really wasn’t hard and I’m amazed at how my body has responded.  To date I have lost almost 30 pounds. The first thing I did was to cut way back on my […]

Have you ever woken up and wanted to post a sign like this on your door or around your neck for all to see?  If you haven’t then please let me in on your secret.  I really don’t remember waking up like this before I had kids, but since my oldest is 22 that is […]

Today marked the end of week two of boot camp and the halfway point.  I begrudgingly walked in thinking to myself “I could just turn around go back outside and head to Taco Bell”.  I didn’t I kept moving forward and into the gym talked to Hanna for a bit…of course about work….then started my […]

We started week two of Judy’s Boot Camp last night, yes we came back!  Can you say exhaustion?   I was tired, no I was beyond tired but I kept going.  I would say this was by far the best workout I have had in a very long time and I may have been tired but […]

Haven’t posted in a while, but you know how life gets…   So yesterday several of my co-workers and I started boot camp.  Yes, as I sit here typing I am wondering where my brain was when we decided to do this. I knew I was out of shape but I didn’t realize how the extent […]

Tonight was supposed to be Sour Cream & Bacon Chicken,well not only did I forget to thaw out the chicken but I forgot to buy more sour cream.  Best laid plans and all I had to step back and punt.  Not that I’m in to making meal plans but I kind of Motormuseum get an […]

Couldn’t decide what to cook tonight so my son looked through all my pinned food items and decided on this one.  So before leaving for the day I threw the chicken, soup, and onions in, set the crockpot to hi and off I went.  I came home to what smelled like my grandma cooking in […]

I wouldn’t say that I’m a great writer but lately I have been reading a lot and something in me has awakened.  I used to Gallery write a lot when I was a kid, but I’m not sure why I got away from it.  Was it because I was focused on school? Most likely it […]
