Thursday Nothing-ness

Not to let my readers down, I thought I would share I have nothing to share today, ha ha!  It's the in-between season, where I have simply indoor housework.  The weather has been super chilly, and uncomfortable, so outdoor work is shunned upon.

 I'll be back with something more news-worthy I am sure.  It's just been another long night last night.  Youngest didn't get out of rehearsal until 10pm.


 The only really interesting news I have is that I'm changing up my menu.  Alas, I have stopped losing weight, and I believe it's my age and, well hormone changes. After losing it slowly, then losing a LOT fast in the hospital, it's been a very tough road to keep more pounds off (after gaining it all back). 

 I also eat with the seasons, and I feel that I lost weight and had more energy with some of those seasonal veggies I don't buy out of season (and failed to freeze or dehydrate or can).

 So, I spent hours doing research yesterday, and changing the way I work out as well.  I'm adding some new things to my meals, and possibly a new herb. 

 I have already mixed up, what I call "crazy mood" tea (due to a daughter having high anxiety every month). Any female in the house will benefit from the tea I believe.  My husband will be a much happier man in a house of women too, ha ha!

 If these changes help any, I will definitely be back to share.  Have a fun Thursday.  The sun is shining, and I have the house to myself (aside from dogs).  I'm turning up the music and getting my fitness on!  And I have no rush to get it done, so while I'm doing my walk too, I'll ponder what to make for dinner and plan out my day via thoughts.  I have also found that my walk time is a wonderful time to send up any prayers.

It's good to change things up a little, especially if you're trying to lose weight. When I lost the 97 infamous pounds back in 2010-2012, I changed things up a lot and my main exercise was hiking in the mountains and snowshoeing in the winter. Mind you, I lived alone back then and had the time to do it. I hope you find a good balance!

Thank you Rain, for the vote of confidence. I hope to have better results by next month.

I always start out so virtuously when winter begins. It quickly turns south, however, and I always end up dragging a few more pounds into spring. I can't wait to get outside and move! Doing something other than shoveling, that is.

Well for someone with nothing to share, you wrote a good post. I'm going through this weight thing too. I had lost eight pounds before Thanksgiving and was feeling pretty good about myself, but then felt like I had been deprived and tried to make up for lost time, gaining it all back, plus an extra roll of fat around my middle. I am now on day three of doing better. :) I think warm weather will help us all.

Hubby and I were just talking during dinner tonight about if it isn't working (whatever it may be), it's time to make some changes. It's just a pain in the patoot that changes (even when they're for the better) are hard to make . . . and stick with. Here's hoping we all can have the gumption to make those necessary changes!

Susan I was thinking the same thing - all that outdoor movement will surely help.

Henny Penny, I was doing great back in October, but after the holidays and long winter (although I was exercising), a few pounds creeped on me.

Thanks Mama Pea, changes are hard to do, but with repetition, they come much easier.

I would love to hear more details of what you changed in your diet - I am in the same place in life as you, I think. :) I recently read how beneficial taking alfalfa is (gmo free, etc etc) I've been reading up in that a bit.

Kristen, I hope to try out these changes for a month and update you all. So far it's all working well. I have not heard about alfalfa yet.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger.

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
