Magical Mind Powers

The weather here has just been amazing and we have spent as much of it outside as possible! Which means I haven't been on the computer much. Just enough time to check my emails and facebook and then I'm off to spend the day out in the sunshine. With all the sunshine we have had we got most of the garden planted and from the looks of it I may just get some radishes here soon! All the rest of the early veggies are taking forever to grow! I keep looking at my garden planner wondering what I can change next year. Or just staring intensely at the garden willing it with my magical mind powers to make it grow faster. lol. I want some fresh salad dang it! Or some caprse salad.. Mmmmm, my mouth just waters thinking about it!

We have done extremely well so far on staying on track. Wednesday we had a potluck dinner at some friends house and it was REALLY hard to stay on our whole foods. Most of the items were picked up from a store or was regular pasta. I was hoping to make an entre for my family to take that would allow us to stay on our plan but I woke up that morning with a migraine. So we picked up a fruit tray and I made some Hangop dip. I could eat that stuff by the spoonful!

Also I'm proud to say that I am officially down five pounds! WOOHOOO! I can't wait until I get back to my pre-quitting smoking weight. I still have a quite a ways to go but by golly I'll get there. I think that this challenge is really going to help not only me but my entire family to get healthy.

Me too, want some fresh salad! This spring has been a long dark cold slog in Oregon. I am soooooo ready for summer!

I am from Oregon originally and have some family still living there. This spring has been a wet one here too. It's a few days of sunshine followed by a week of rain. I need more sunny days then rainy days.. lo.
