Flower Power challenge checkin...
I've got a fun idea for June.. did anyone else have the fun of catching June bugs and putting a string on their legs and letting them fly around and around your head? Or maybe my brother and I were the only sadistic children... anyway... thinks bugs for June and I'll fill you on the challenge soon!

Wait. Are June bugs like those Japanese beetles? If so, then no harm no fowl.
I'm waiting till the last second to weigh in for my final number. After hitting the gym late this week, I've passed through another one of my mini stalls, so I wanna see if I can get below 221! I was so close this morning! We'll see what tomorrow brings!
Looking forward to the Pulling Ticks Challenge!
HUGS!!!

Well I know how to get ya'll's attention! I cannot believe there is not someone on here that didn't do that too?!?!
It was not the easiest of tasks tying a string around that leg, but when we got them on there it was like having a helicopter by a string. I guess you could say my brother and I were easily entertained. We didn't have video games, we played with bugs like with our homemade June bug kites, as well as caught lightening bugs and put them in jars to make laterns...
This is a June Bug

Okay...I understand the lightening bugs in lanters...we do that (we do let them all go, however, before they die in the lantern....I didn't do that once & my then 5 year old ran out the next morning to see the lightening bugs---she had named most of them---and they were all dead on the bottom---she sobbed all day....oops...my bad).....
That must have been some string!!
I don't know when we are suppos'd to check in for our final Flower Power but I know you do a spread sheet (so you are a cold hearted bug killer & OCD---lol!) so I will just call it 229--which is what I weighed this a.m. Of course, I have long forgotten my goal...did I make goal?
xo, Micheala.
WooHoo, Micheala!!!! you so made your goal of 10 pounds plus 6 more pounds lost.. Congrats!!!!
We never killed the June bugs, we would cut the string and let them go.. now there were always accidents, and we released the lightening bugs too.. frogs, mudbugs, salamanders.. were always let go.. about the only thing that didn't get freed were the worms we fished with..
And for the record.. I'm not OCD, I'm CDO, which is the same thing but in alphabetical order like it should be..
Congrats on -16 pounds gone this month!!!
HUGS
I could use some encouragement right about now. Although, I am still tring to be positive about this. 12 pounds are gone this month. Not the 20 I was wanting but the progress is DOWNWARD and that is the main point.
