Helloooo LW's!!!!!

I've not REALLY been missing in action, because I've been lurking... there's just been a lot of ACTION going on in my life these past few weeks.  My energy level increased and Spring sprang so I've been outside working in the SUN setting up a non-hybrid container vegetable garden that is way more intense than I expected.      

But, I should have made "Be able to work all day in the heat" as one of my goals because I could have checked it off as achieved! 

Since I've seen you last, I discovered that I can hack up a furball just as well as the next Kitty...    (except that mine was ground turkey, all in one fell swoop in a nice little pile).  What a treat that was.    Otherwise, it's all been good and I've no regrets.  

Still losing weight at an average of 2.5 lbs. per week and am 53 lbs. down from my high weight, just a little more than halfway to goal.  Total inches lost to date = 36


I'm still horseback riding every two weeks and it's been good for a couple of pounds overnight!  Yippee!!    There are a couple of cute pics of my new favorite horse in my profile.  :-)

TTYL!!!   Love ya LW's!!

Awesome, Ruthie! Glad to see you back--I've been in lurk mode because of my stressful life as well. I don't feel so bad knowing I'm not the only one. :D
