Well, its been a week, and its gone by so fast and so slow at the same time.. I have been a busy little beaver on the farm, not getting off it the whole week, other then for the evening that I did a airport pickup run, It was a very late pickup, and so I drove in a bit early and snuck in a late movie that started at ten to keep me busy till my after midnight pickup of a darling handsome man.

So I stepped on the scale having no idea what to think to be honest, I am so swollen that I feel like I have gained ten pds, I am sore today from all the snow removal yesterday, I am not sure why the snow shoveling is that different then cleaning the barn but clearly my body does not agree! Well I got on and just stared a little at it… Huh.. down 4.3 pds for a total of 8.1 pds of my 50 pd goal.

Eating went well this week, I only made bread once, no baking, lots of canned, dried or frozen fruit or veggies, no rice, carbs were potatos, sweet potatos or sqaush of different kinds, meat was duck or lamb and one salmon steak as well as farm fresh eggs.

Past Goals for the week

• Daily dose of apple cider vinager-Done and more, I enjoyed hot apple cider with honey mugs.
• Walk daily-and then some..
• No eating after 8pm- 6 out of 7 yes.
• Extra fall cleaning -yes
• Use the extra chores as a workout, example, lift the full buckets up and down as I walk for arm workout, double time on the walks between big barn and little barn or house. Do a extra wheelbarrol load or two from the big barn compost pile to be moved to the garden area’s. -Yes and lots of it!

My big treat of the week was to make a wild caught salmon steak with a spruce tip salt and stinging nettle two way, both dried green herb, and dried ground nettle seeds, heavenly!  I had it on a bed of fall hardy greens, including Kale, Spinach, Aurgala, with just a touch of homemade maple syrup mixed in the the butter it was cooked in. Given a choice between a baked treat or a sweet treat, I was quite proud that I went with a meal treat instead.

Coming Goals for the week
