Feeling Better

I think I've finally gotten all of the crap out of my system and my cravings are gone for the most part and I've almost lost the 3 pounds that I put on with the Italian Ice fiasco. I'm just plugging along and trying to get back into the exercise groove.  Boy, it's hard to get back into it when you've slacked for a while. I've been walking a little and doing squats and kettlebell exercises for my arms. When I did the squat challenge I saw a difference in my butt, so I want to do squats a couple times a week to maintain it.

I was looking in my closet the other day and realized that I need to get some fall and clothes.  I don't have much that actually fits, the pieces are either too small or too big.  I also need to get some fall shoes.  I do, however, have my glorious new Dooney and Bourke fall handbag that my DD gave me for an early birthday present.  I was so excited when I got it, I just sat there and looked at it. The new leather smell was intoxicating :)

 

 

Over the weekend my DD went to the orchard and bought some apples and asked me to make homemade applesauce with her and to can it.  Can it?  I'd never canned anything in my life. But, thanks to Mr. Google and Mrs. Internet we made homemade pink applesauce and canned it and it came out perfectly.  The only sugar that we added was 1/3 cup of Red Hot cinnamon candies to the whole batch of applesauce.  I was so proud of us canning for the first time and all of our lids sealed as they were supposed to :)

 

 

 

Monday we're supposed to work even though it's Labor Day.  It's a paid holiday for us that we take at Christmas break so we get more time off while the students are gone. There are classes on Labor Day, so we have to work. I've decided to take a vacation day Labor Day and take off Tuesday, the 3rd, which is my birthday.  I've taken off those two days ever since I started working here; why stop now?  I don't have any plans right now, but I'm going to do something. Four day weekend. WOOT!

 

That's all I have for now. make it a great day!
