Happy Friday Everyone

Its Friday guys! I have zero plans to head anywhere this weekend.  I will hop on my happy bike and go for a long, long ride tomorrow.  You all know I am in a boot camp right?  Well guess what?  I have lost almost 10 pounds.  Yep, TEN pounds.  I have lost inches.  I know because I measured myself upon starting the class.  I have also started really watching what goes into my body along with making sure I drink plenty of liquids.

It might be time to level my corn crop.  I am a little sad.

This is my big O'L gourd.  I am in love with this guy.

My pumpkin.  What a bright orange.

Gourd number 2 is sitting on a branch.  How cool is that?

Gourd number 3 is my baby.

Off to have a wonderful weekend riding my bike and creating stuff.

Tomato, Tomato, and more tomato.


A simple task turned into an all day event.  I canned 24 (1Quart) jars of tomatoes.

Then, I made a gigantic pot of tomato soup.  It was so delicious.  I'm sorry.  I took absolutely no pictures of my soup.  I had to freeze some of it.  First, six people feasted then it was separated.  This stack for tomorrow.  This stack for next week or next month.  

I joined a boot camp here locally and I am so sore.  I have been getting up to be at my class by 5:30am.  It is so worth it.  I am already health conscious, just not hand to mouth disciplined.  Well, guess what?  I got my husband and I into a competition against two other couples.  30 days.  The couple to lose the most weight wins $500.00.  Three couples and each losing couple puts in  $250.00 to the pot.  Winner takes all.  My birthday is next month.  I am planning a nice getaway with the hubs.  A little less weight for both of us.  Yeah, I think a getaway is in the works.

So far I have lost 6 pounds and the competition started this past Sunday.  Not to worry, I am super health conscious about the amount of food I need to consume for this to be a healthy competition.  I took pictures.  So maybe I will get brave enough and post before and after.  Cross your fingers that I win this.

Have a wonderful weekend.
