Flower Power!..even with grey skies..

Hello to all, see above for flowers that my husband's grandparents picked out for their garden this morning. I must say, this was our first shopping outing together and it was really fun. The weather here today is not so great, it is overcast and pretty darn cool outside. I have spent most of the afternoon wrapped up in a blanket zoning out in front of the TV with the dogs. However, started the day with our morning walk and a bowl of hot oatmeal with golden raisons and a cut up fresh peach..it was really tasty..that's right..no butter, no brown suger..just fruit! I had forgotten to weigh in prior to eating so I did it afterwards..was not so excited, even with the healthier eating and increase in activity over the last few days I saw a .02 pound increase--from 151.6 lbs-68.9 kilo to 151.8 lbs-69 kilo. But, I will not be discouraged and am determined to increase my activity levels even more. Especially since I am now well rested from my very hard afternoon of napping with the babies! My youngest son leaves today to spend the night with a friend and then tomorrow 5 guys are traveling to a 4 day open air concert..fun for them but a little stressful for me as a parent! But, he is 18..what do you do say no to all of the fun stuff so you have no stress? No, you let them go out a experience and learn for themselves..and actually, how cool to live in Europe and go to a 4 day music event!! Okay, smoothie for dinner as I had hommus and crackers for lunch. Plus weights for the upper arms. Have a great day, see you in the morning..
