Day 6-


Happy Saturday everyone! It's a gloomy day again today but hubby is making the best of it and working on one of our house projects and getting the garage ready for paint. You know, all of those ongoing projects when you're a homeowner.Thankfully he seems to enjoy it and he's in his element. Can't let a cold dreary day get in the way of getting things accomplished. He says that April is a good time to finish all of them then he can enjoy the summer. Makes sense.


As for me, I have been inside today cleaning and cooking. Making Irish Beef Stew for dinner. Yum! Spending some time today planning my vegetable and flower gardens and hoping that this virus diminishes some before it's time to plant at the end of May.  I always enjoy the day that we go to the farm market to get the plants for our gardens. There is nothing better than digging in dirt and feeling a sense of renewal in the spring. The smell of the warm rain in spring, ahhh.. Nothing makes the gardens grow better! There is so much inspiration and peace in the garden.

I have decided to focus a bit less on my diet and to let the weight loss happen by mindfully watching the amount that I am eating. I really don't eat the wrong foods, I eat to much of the right foods. Does that make sense? I am not a bad eater just a volume eater. Calories in vs. Calories out. I need to watch that. That alone should lead to weight loss. Finger's crossed.

What inspires you the most?

Day2- Today's Lunch was very interesting. Using leftover Broccoli from dinner last night I made a Broccoli and Egg scramble, Broccoli, Eggs and butter. It was pretty good but I am still craving the carbs that I have known and loved my whole life. Every morning my breakfast consisted of a cup of decaf  coffee 2 creams, 2 sugars, 2 slices of toast with peanut butter (lots of peanut butter). Yum! I do miss it but now I have opted to skip breakfast, no coffee, no toast with Peanut Butter and wait for lunch after I have fasted for at least 16-18 hours. Then I do a 2 egg and veggie lunch then a Keto friendly dinner and no food after 8pm. Tonight's dinner is a steak with roasted carrots and broccoli and beets. I've so got this!!!! I have been drinking a lot more water though I am not drinking what I should be yet (it's only day 2) but I will get there. I have got to do this. My health depends on my diet and my diet has to change for good. I have gained more than 125lbs in ...

Day 32- Aman's Farm & Market, an Irondequoit Icon- Farm to table is the best and freshest way for us to be eating. Not only is it healthy it supports local farmers and brings locally grown foods to tables within our community.                                                         One of my favorite markets right here in Irondequoit is Aman's Farm & Market, 2458 East Ridge Road. I like it for many reasons, the history, the atmosphere and the quality of goods they sell. In the spring & summer they have an excellent selection of plants. From hanging baskets to vegetable plants to flowers and shrubs, a little of everything, all at great prices. After our time at home with this pandemic it won't be long until we can look forward to some brightly colored flowers to liven up our landscape. Aman's has some of the most beautiful, large ...

Lake Bluff Road and Fort Des Sables- Once near the site of Fort Des Sables, Lake bluff Road has one of the nicest lake views in Irondequoit.   Established in 1717 as a stockaded French fur trading post for trade with the Seneca Indians, one of the five Iroquois Indian Nations. It was located on the Lake Ontario Shore at the entrance to Irondequoit Bay. The post was built by a Frenchman, Louis Thomas Joncaire, who was an interpreter and negotiator. Joncaire had been captured by the Seneca at age 17 and had lived among them until 1694 when he was released. His understanding of the Iroquois language, culture and customs proved to be a great help in reestablishing the French fur trade after the disastrous wars between 1680 and 1700.  Located on Culver Road east of Lake Bluff Road the site was destroyed by construction of Route 590 Expressway.                                     ...
