Good Morning Linda and OFF,

I've had a bear sighting before.  I was walking with my then husband in the country in Western PA.  We'd been warned about bears.  As we were walking on a back road, a baby bear crossed it about 20 yards ahead of us.  We froze.  Then Mama Bear crossed over following it.  We turned right around and went back to the house.  It was interesting.  That was the closest I'd been to a bear without a cage around it.  

Not sure what I'm doing about food yet.  I need to get a walk and AA meeting in.

Must scoot.

Hugs,

Trish

Good Morning ladies

This morning is cool and I love it.  I was up at 6:30 so I have had my breakfast, showered, got dressed, and made the bed so I am ready to explore.  I think I will take a drive to the Paul Stock nature trail.  It is sorta in town. There is a 1.5 mile trail along the Shoshone River that looks like it is very pretty and an easy walk to start with.  I hope to get my 10,000 steps today.  If the weather holds we may take a scenic drive this afternoon.

Breakfast  bagel ( I know not the best choice) sigh

lunch  left over sushi

dinner - don't know yet

Movement - walk along the river and maybe stroll around downtown. goal 10,000 steps

Chime in and tell me what you are doing.

oh Trish I know it is such a struggle. Tha sugar demon is so pervasive. Once I get him under control I MUST not indulge or I start to cycle all over again. Right now I am in control....Tomorrow who knows. 

Exercise is so important, just a casual stroll can be both beneficial and pleasant. Also impossible in record heat and humidity. Jeannie reminded me that I could walk in the mall or walmart or anywhere.  Alas I hate indoor walking. 

Hi Everyone,

I'm just cleaning today...I have already taken a tool all around the house to gather cobwebs. They seem to multiply quickly. In a minute I will go out to gather some succulents to plant a little mini garden for a friend. He loves gnomes and I found a tiny ring holder with a gnome in the center. It will look so cute with mini succulents all around.

breakfast- protein drink

lunch- cheese and two pieces of dry salami

dinner- pork chops, mashed potatoes and zucchini

snacks- watermelon, cherries

I also struggle with sugar... I can eat some, not a lot, but it is an addiction for sure. I also have the chip thing Jeannie. So I try to keep it all in moderation. TRY is the magic word. 

It sounds like you two are enjoying a nice vacation. You should call me when you get together in Wyoming! My cell phone number is 209-923-3060...I promise I won't stay on too long. 

Linda,

I know you are excited to be heading out...There's a cowboy museum and, strangely, a boot factory. We are of course taking the kids to Yellowstone, but we are taking them to the museum and to the boot factory to get their own boots. If you are driving, take a quick detour and head to SDakota and see Mt. Rushmore.  Then drive straight across WY...there are tons of things to see along the way. 

We are getting things together. Next week, I have a friend from the Middle East coming for a few days, then we are packing, and on the 23, we are heading out.  I hope you are still there.
