hidy ho! well lots of random stuff again to share lets see

new biggest thing for me is i am revisiting what i eat and the /cough lack of exercise in my life. I am so overweight that i have to start actively working on it. hubby finally opened up and told me how much he would like me to lose the weight also and i KNOW HOW HARD this was for him! if your a guy i know the pickle this puts you in. not a good one! how to say it with out pissing the girl off? HA well after another year of doing nothing about it and Finally becoming interested in it again he revealed his secret! I know that he loves me and still find me attractive because his affection level has not changed at all even with the weight. I told him that if he continued to tell me he didn’t care one way or the other then.. well what would keep me motivated when it got to hard for me? when hell my husband could care less why should i! it was an easy cop out and i used it!

I signed up to spakpeople its a great site. you set up your program and your goal time to lose your weight and it sets up your calorie chart for how much you should each each day to lose the weight… just make sure not to say you want to lose 195 lbs in one year !!! you will starve LOL i didn’t realize at first i had set it at this and moved it two 2 years and its now manageable at 2200 max calories a day.

It also gives you a fitness tracker and different strength activates to do. i have cardio and strength m/w/f  and you put in what you did and it saves all the info so you can look back at it. you can set up other goals for yourself like drinking 8 glaces of water walking  how ever long each day or stretching 5 min a day. you can make what ever you want and track them daily. and there are  A BRAZILIAN different community boards. from cooking to coping with loss. i found my Portland group, fibryomialgima group, over 30 needing to lose 100+ lb and a cooking one of course!

There is also!!! recipes RECIPES recipes! and a place to make your own to find the calories in your own recipes.

the calorie cut has been difficult because now i am really looking at everything i eat and how to eat for the whole day with out blowing it! i got myself a little 5 dollar scale to weight stuff on because… well damn it do you know how many calories are in cheese , IN JUST ONE OZ!! omg i just about died. i love cheese i did brake down and buy some shredded low fat cheese so i could still have it but I’m trying to avoid as many fat free things as i can because I’m not on a diet I’m changing my eating and exercise habits and the thinks i do today must be stuff ill be willing to do in 5 years. LOL and i can not put hubby on fat free diet the poor man would shrivel up and flout away!

yes.. i am hungry .. but I’m not starving! /cough not like i was the first few days when i had it at 1 yr and i was supposed to eat 1700 cal! oh lord! i was ready to jump ship and eat the sharks. thank god i found that mistake. the difference 500 calories make in your day is amazing.

.. i have lost 6 lbs in 1 1/2 weeks !!! so i think I’m stricken with it! and my husband i don’t think will let me bail out lol. i think hes shopping for new cloths at the moment.. LOL

OK OK on to GARDENING! and my freaky attempt at growing everything on my kitchen counter

so here it is. my red bell peppers , the seeds i stole from my store bought pepper

they are just about 2 1/2 weeks old and going strong it looks like. i had planted 3 seeds per pellet and all 3 sprouted from the 1’st and 3′rd pellet and i thinned to just the one … they already had very strong roots! but the 2′nd pellet has done nothing. they are under the plant light on the kitchen counter with the rest of the plants

My tomato’s who’s seeds i stole from store tomatoes also cheep seeds!

they are now 5 weeks old. I am not sure but fill like they should be bigger but since i have no other experience with it /shrug maybe this is the right size for there age. but they look strong and healthy to me….. we seemed to have attracted a lot of nats! oh man it was bad i had to put the lot of plants out side ( in the cold!!! oh lord! ) and i went to the garden shop 6 blocks from me!! i had no idea it was there , glad i found it. he gave me stuff to put in the soil to kill them because with so many he said they would be living in the soil now and the eggs waiting to hatch..blah! i didn’t want all my little baby’s to die! so /gulp i spend the 15 dollars on it. the plus? its a big bottle and you only use 1.7 in a gallon of water twice in the first week then reapply in 2 weeks. so this will last forever!

GREEN GARLIC SPROUTS! i have been reading about them on the seed sites i been looking at about growing your garlic and eating the shoots as they grow to get .. well like green onions but they taste just like garlic! so hay what the hell i have a draw for garlic atm so i took 6 cloves and planted in an aluminum foil pan and BACK 3 days sprouts were FLYING out of the dirt… right now they are only TEN DAYS OLD!!! wow. and ever bulb sprouted

now I’m looking up the important thing of.. when are they ready to be used? !! i cant wait!

oh and my beans.. well all along i have been trying to plant the things that we actually EAT and was looking at different bean plants on line and then thought..well what the hell i should grow the black beans we frigen eat already! so i threw 5 in a bag rapped in a wet coffee filter and BAM 3 days later i had some sprouts. i was supper excited! this was something i was actually going to work on to grow them right, i want these suckers to make it.. i dont know why i have taken a biger interest in the beans but .. dammit they will grow! so i took one of the 5 gallon frosting buckets i beg from fred meyers bakery and filled it 3/4 with potting soil and took a bunch of unfinished compost and ran it threw my “old” food chopper! to take it to a soil size .. my thoughts in the crazy move? it will brake down in the soil? like it would have in the compost ben and realise its goodness to my plants.. that’s what i hope anyways!

the kiddos? well they had a blast this halloween, emily figured out the door ringing and candy thing fast and well damn she can run fast to the next door! poor dan was scrambling to keep up! they got a huge hall and eat all the choclate first LOL now we have a huge bowl of suck on candys. my oldest the 11 yr old he went with his cousin tylor..more fun with kids yoru own age i guess! grr but he got to go to a halloween party with him! he had a blast also but no pics

ok i need to go to my work out.. ack the kids are going to hate me because they are playing are new ps3 game , little big planet. and LOVE IT.it a cute game lol i dont know if i like it tho becasue i have not been allowed to play yet!!!!
