Container Garden

Hey all, Yes I have been MIA again, but for a good reason. I had a minor biopsy done on Monday. I don't know why the call it minor this put me in bed for day's. Well yesterday was the first time I felt better. The only good thing about this was I don't have cancer ( Praise God!) and I lost some weight. Well back to the subject.

Why do you ask I am writing about Container Garden on losing weight? Well this is a good way to lose weight. You eat great healthy food and this keeps you moving. So time to plan that garden. I don't care if you live in an apartment or big yard it is time to start.

This week we will start with container gardening. There is a website called
$5Dinner.com. She has a place there were she has print outs. Go get a print out. We will start with the Container Garden first. I have plans to do 5 small pots or I can do one big container (dollar store)

For the large pot here is what you can put in there.
1 Large pot
newspaper
basil
sweet basil
rosemary
chives
Dill ( I will have to tell you about the great salad I had with this)
mint
spicy Oregano
sage
thyme
cilantro
Soil
so got to the store and lets get started part two tomorrow. So then I can take a picture of this.
Ready set let the journey begin.

Food/Garden

I know the last blog said I was going to talk about something else. Well I need to talk about having a garden. Personally I think everyone should try one. Yes, I know some people have a limited space, but at least try tomatoes. Having a garden helps in many way's with relaxation and healthy food. This week I am going to move my box gardens and add some more. With two of working out more this will be fun. So I don't know what is the best way to approach this. A blog or write on this blog. Asking for some suggestions?

Blogging

To me blogging about weight lose is like a journal. You get to write down how you feel. Well over the last two weeks I was unable to blog. The drove me crazy since I had no time for anything. This to me helps with the stress of life as well. Okay so some of us are personal, get a notebook and write. When you keep stuff bottled inside, someday it has to come out. What do we reach for is food. So as I have been writing this blog it has helped. Not just in my weight lose, but in a lot of different way's. Matthew 6:33 best point out what I am trying to say. So keep it up all. Life is one day at a time. We fall and we just need to get back up.

Back in the Saddle again

Hello All,
It have been a few weeks. I have been pulling double shift at work. Finally a day off. Really I don't think it is a day off there is so much to do. I have been working out a lot as well, just to get out of the office. I have lost 6 inch off my waist. I never thought that day will come when that happened. I look back at the first day I started and how hard it was. I wanted to cry when I looked at my self in the mirror.

Since then I have changed a lot about my self. In the weeks to come I will talk about the changes. Oh and start my new blog as well. My oldest daughter seen the changes and hired my trainer. lol................ The first night she went she was so sore. She told me like I have told all of you. The simple exercises that they showed educated us so much. She by far does not need to lose a lot, but it is the toning part. She hurt her back in the Army about two years ago. So they told her she needs to keep in shape for her back. Well you know that physical therapy can only do so much. Well they have worked out an exercise routine for her. she is loving it a lot. Like me she wounder what took her so long to join. Well better run, I have walls to paint. That will be in my new blog.

Spring is around the corner

I am getting excited about spring. I am ready to get out there this year and work in my yard. Remember it is time to get moving. Turn off the tv and get moving. I don't know if I told you all this, but I have not had a tv in the house for almost 4 years now. It has been great,but them the computer can be dangerous to. So try doing a 15 min walk and find place around your house that you can walk at. Most High Schools have a track you can walk at.

Back from the Cruise

I am back from my cruise all I have to say is stay away from the food area. They have food everywhere as much as you can eat. I have to say I did really well. I did not over eat at all. I was able to maintain can you believe it. When I saw all the food I wanted to cry it is a diet nightmare. Then again it is also a diet help with all the fresh fruit and veggies. So that part was nice I triedto fill my plate up with more of that stuff. It is nice to be back. I have been to the gym twice now and I would not have it any other way. I am really starting to like working out. Every section I go I learn more and more about my self. I am down a whole size now. I still have along way to go, but when I went for clothes I did choose the smaller size in somethings.

It feels like spring here and it is time to do some major cleaning. I am going to start a new blog as well. Now that my life style is change so is my attitude. Well have to run.

Ready set let the journey begin.

Here I go again about the Exercise Ball

You all know I just love the exercise ball to work out. Well I found one for $9.00 at Walmart Here is the link if you don't have a Walmart in your area. I am telling you can do a great work out with this. I am going to try a get some exercise going for this and post them. You can do this a home when you can't get to the gym. This will be my month goal to have exercise for the exercise ball. Keep me to this all.
