Comments (93)Now I know it's quite premature to post these pictures, as my project is a long way from finished. However, I'm excited about my progress and I'm thinking that a group of gardens will be able to see the "potential" here. LOL! While you guys have been playing this week, I started work on installing a sidewalk between the end of the house and the new garage. The space is only about 8 ft. wide so my vision is to install this 4' wide walk and then (maybe next year) plant the sides with small hosta and similar sized plants. The walk in the picture is about 15' long. When finished, it there will be about 10' more walk at the 4' width and then it will widen into a "patio" of sorts for another 10-12'. We had a horrid rain yesterday that washed out some of my edge pavers before I got soil packed in around them but that's okay. It won't take long to get back on track. And, here is a picture of the gate I built last year with a plan to install it across the sidewalk, between the house and garage. One year soon, I'll be caught up with those of you who have nearly perfected your gardens. For now, I'm still installing structural elements....See MoreDieting Pals--8/7-8/14---One day at a time!
Comments (23)Thanks, Wildchild for the invitation. I work out of town four days a week and have been doing so since February. This was when I started losing weight. Prior to this I worked at home and had WAY too much refrigerator access. While I am here I walk in the mornings before work between 45 minute and an hour and do a light weight work out. At home I am able to do a longer weight work out. I just use dumbbells. I have no scale access while I'm out of town so I don't weigh while I'm here. I find that if I don't get enough sleep I don't lose weight. Today I had grocery store sushi for lunch, I wish I had any kind of idea about the calorie count is in this stuff! I had a few fresh figs for dessert. Lots of water all day. I still have at least 50 pounds to lose. Seems like a long long journey sometimes. I really want to be thin right now! I didn't have any patience with WW, I hate sitting still for meetings! And I don't have the fortitude to go back several times and check out the different meeting leaders to see if one suits me better than another. One thing I have noticed about the WW (and many others as well) frozen meals is that the sodium content is rather high. I have just eliminated cookies, chips, crackers, bread and butter, and all fried foods, as well as ice cream. More vegies and fresh fruit and smaller portions. More exercise. So far so good.

Comments (13)Nichole - didn't make it to any of them, unfortunately. The first trip was too short to do much because we were visiting our son and his wife shortly after they moved there in the Navy. They hadn't been to many of the "must see's" either at that time. We took a sailboat trip, which was wonderful, and snorkeled. They eventually did some awesome scuba trips to out islands and loved the rain forest. The second trip was 16 days but was for the birth of our granddaughter and no tourist trip then either! I did get to see some real slummy neighborhoods between San Juan and the Naval Base and passed the road to go up to the rain forest......Oh yeah, we tried to kayack to the Bioluminescence bay, I think it was called, but the guy never showed up with the kayacks so went drinking in the grimiest outdoor bar you ever seen. It was also in the slumy neighborhood, lol. Thanks for jogging my memory!...See More
