Good morning!!!!

[txdon]

Txdon it has been one week since I have eaten any meat, none, nothing! All veggies and fruit. I haven't lost any weight, and I'm not over eating, and feeling sluggish what's the secret here. I'm ready to eat a medium rare cow.

Fried veggies? Sweetened fruit? Any grains or greens? Any oils? Any salad dressing? Any nuts? Any processed foods? If you write down everything you eat or drink in a diary you should see where your extra calories are coming from. How are you flavoring your food? Any cheese or any animal products. Milk is just liquid meat and cheese is just fat.

Dabsgt you might want to try Prolon for 5 days to give you a jump start. You just eat what they send in the package - you will loose 7-10 lbs in 5 days.
Fasting Mimicking Diet | Prolon FMD It actually does get you back on track on portion size - it's all plant based also.

Good evening all. 71F this morning, mostly clear sky, calm wind. Moderate north north wind most of the day, shift to south wind early evening, high temp 96 HI 103F. Going to be hot next several days temps in upper 90's and HI well over 100F. Bike ride to start the day, mowed most of the lawn stopped because it was hot and need to deal with sand burrs. Napped after lunch the take wife to dinner :thumbsup:
Randy, understand your feelings wife decided to have lawn mowed twice while gone on bike ride, second was done after i got back, could not shake the what do I do now the rest of the day :confused3:
Thomas, congrats on setting the date, I gave 1 yr notice, so they could hire guy and maximize overlap time, then the replacement not hired until 9 months later :confused3: . Good luck with the bear, anyone help relocating troublesome animals? Bear bags?
PJ, nice job on the pergola.
prayers for all.

Might want to substitute some whole grain carbs for the high calorie oils and nuts. Why no carbs? Any legumes? Does your diet have a name? Is it endorsed by an dietitian?

In the Century Study I'm in I am required to keep a detailed 3 day food and liquid diary once a year for review by a dietitian. I list everything I eat and drink, eating out is ok, then the dietitian breaks it down into calories from fat, protein and carbs and makes sure I eating enough variety of everything that is needed for nutrition. The diary contains how many tablespoons, ounces, cups and size of everything consumed. With this you can really tell where a eating problem is or why weight is not being lost. Amount of exercise is also calculated to determine if you are burning the calories taken in.

53 right now...high in the low 80's today...

 

[riptides]

72 outside this AM. Heading to lower 90's. Oppressive heat. Looks to be bad the remainder of the week. Got that lean to shed pile of wood under another lean to yesterday. Man did we sweat. Looks like enough wood for a nice wall and maybe two floors. Just need to clean it up a little and get the nails out.
Hope all have a great day. Take it slow today. Be safe.

 

[Eric Salop]

Eric do you compost the corn starch plastic cups and forks or do they head to the landfill to decompose next to the forever plastic?

Julie couldn't bare for still perfectly good cups and forks be thrown away. She hand washed them afterwards and put them away for the next kids party, so it may be quite some time before they get to see a compost heap. I am going to plant one in the soil and see how it breaks down.

Good morning all. The sun hasn't broken through the haze yet, making it a very pleasant cooler start to the day.

This blue dye works out at 143 fills from a litre bottle, which is 21p (25 cents) per knapsack. It probably saves money as it makes is so easy to see that each weed gets an optimum dose of herbicide and best of all, allows me to concentrate on working back upwind.

Thomas, can you teach a bear to keep away from the feed storage bin ? Those wheels are probably good insulators, so maybe you could position it on a sheet of metal that was connected to an electric fence energiser ground and clip the bin to the +ve. We don't have bears, so I have no idea how fast they learn. Or would they seek retribution after being zapped ?

 

[Buppies]

74 high of 88 a revision but 92 tomorrow

Prayers for all

 

[DABSGT]

Good morning 62 now heading to 90
Grocery shopping, feed store for the dogs and maybe hit the mall to pick up a few things for vacation. I'm sure the cruise will be a good time but a dress code like being back in school.
Need to get some trimming done today.
Have a good day stay safe and cool in the heat.

 

[Thomas]

[daugen]

Hope you all have a nice day.

 

[ronjhall]

Drinking first cup of coffee. 63° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 79° with good chance of thunderstorms. Yesterday's storm went north and south of us. Got a few drops of wet stuff. Then back to hot. Kind of hoping today's rain misses us also. Ready for grass to go into summer dry spell. No plans for today. Oldest son is in town. Will have to wait until he gets up to see what is going to happen.

Thomas, glad we do not have bears here.

Hope those healing continue on that course. Prayers sent.

Good Morning All.

Tease! :laughing: Which blue dye would "This" be?:confused2::laughing:

73 going to 93.

Thomas, sorry, it's your turn to have the bears. When they were here, they selected sunflower seeds over everything else. Hope they move on and you can concentrate on the deer and a smooth cigar. When I started moving my feeders inside each night, the word got out and a mouse founds its way to the sunflower seeds. It was introduced to a snap trap. I put it on the ground under the fence post that the juvenile red-tail sits on frequently...sure enough it flew over and jumped to the ground and ate it...recycling? So the bears indirectly led to a mouse giving it up to a hawk. Nature is beautiful.

I'm liking the idea of the blue dye. Wondering... how long it persists on the plant or ground? ...does it act as a surfactant? ...would food coloring be any good?

DAB, sounds like a very healthy diet. We had roasted eggplant, okra, and zucchini from our garden last night (and unhealthy manicotti).

Randy, it's so nice that you have Ellen and she helped you through your ordeal.

Buppies, sorry your swimming plans are off. Hope you get better soon. I drank a bottle of water before I even went our this morning to feed the birds...staying hydrated.

Had a dentist check up yesterday...glad everything went well...got compliments on my oral hygiene...strange, but I enjoy flossing .

I have a small number of logs to split. I haven't fired up the splitter since April, so I think I'll go out before it gets too hot and give it a few pulls and see how she goes.

NWS says it started at 79 degrees this morning going for a high of 98, although they also say today just might be the first 100 degree day of the year. I just know it's way too hot to suit me.

 

[txdon]

Good morning! 77˚F before sunrise heading to a sunny 98˚F.

The ol women took me to the cleaners again last night (again) only winning 2 out of 5 hand and foot games. Oh well, THEY said THEY had fun. Each game is with a different partner so you can't really blame it on your partner. My wife does not go with me on Monday evening card play because she is not used to the "INTENSE" competition. They keep records for 3 months (quarterly) to determine the best player of the quarter. (I'm ranked 40th starting the second week :ashamed: ) Because of the age of some of these players I'll probably only move up when they . . . ..

The 11" Mac IPAD pro with the keyboard folio is working out great. It took about 30 minutes to set it up and go through the tutorials and download the Spanish apps. The charge last all day and it does not get hot in my wife lap as she studies on the porch with the pets. The screen is clearer than the notebook and it is very fast. The 4 speakers are clear enough so she can learn the pronunciation. I think this will replace the notebook for our retirement uses. I bought the iPad for seniors book and it help that I read it before the iPad arrived.

RNG I can see California banning the dye and not the roundup. :laughing:

DABSGT cruise? Does that mean the end of your diet?

Thomas, now that the bears know they get rewarded for the food search you will have to figure a shocking experience for them. maybe a cattle electric fence - the cows learn quickly. We put one along the chain link fence around my mom's house after they knocked over the well and that has been working well.

Heading to the gardens early to check on tractor and veggies then pool later. Pipeline has e-mailed me the revisions in the agreement, I'll go over them today.
