Weight Loss and Organic/Wild-Crafted Foods
Well, it's a long time since I last blogged so I thought I would put fingers to keyboard and keep everyone up with the latest happenings here in Climax Springs, Missouri.
A naturally occuring phenomenon started happening when I moved from Arizona almost two years ago; I lost weight slowly but nonetheless, I lost weight. Yipee! I have now lost seventy pounds! And I am still steadily losing the pounds and inches. I have been donating all my clothes that have become too big to charity. I am now into buying thrift store clothes--usually designer clothes, one or two sizes too small for me, and then challenging myself to lose enough weight to fit into them! It's so neat when I can actually squeeze into the new clothes, as I know I am getting healthier and feeling great during the process. My current fave foods are blueberries, blackberries, oatmeal and homemade chicken and whole wheat pasta salad.
My garden is coming along just fine and I will be taking pix and posting them on the website soon so that you can all see it for yourselves. Picking blackberries is a regular event here although one has to watch for the copperheads and water moccasins slithering between the verdant growth between brambles. Blackberry and Apple Cobbler tomorrow...There's a lot to be said for wild-crafted foods and I know there are gardeners here who think like I do and we may get together and start a farmer's market every weekend at the spring in the park. Farmer's markets are great venues for social networking and heirloom seed swapping, as my gardener friends are all into organic or wild-crafted foods. A couple of wild-crafted items are being offered for sale on the wildcrafted page of my site.
I was blessed with identical twin (like my twin sister and I) grandsons back in March and I will become a grandmother once again around January, 2009. I already have four grandchildren; so the more the merrier. I wish I could see them more often.
Anyway, time for me to hit the hay--big weeding day in the garden tomorrow; I also have to water it thoroughly.
I'll write again soon.
