I didnt even see it coming!

I was doing so good yesterday!  So determined to succeed!  Then, out of nowhere, a small bag of dark chocolait m&m's hit me over the head and poured themselves into my mouth!  They gagged me until I swallowed every last one!  Oh, they were so good!   and I am so weak!

Today is a beautiful 72 degrees and sunny!  I am going to go for my 3 mi trek this evening with dh but this afternoon I am tackling the strawberry bed.  Just like those sneaky m&m's, the weeds have invaded my yummy strawberries.  So, just like my diet, its time for the deweeding!  Your out of here dandelions!  Take that crab grass!  I'm digging you up and kicking you to the curb along with those m&m's!  They will both keep coming back, looking for weakness's.  So I will stay armed with mini shovel and strong resolve.   Because in this garden - no weeds (or chocolait)  allowed!

Nasty chocolate

It's evil stuff.  I mean, there you are minding your own business when all of a sudden a bag of M&Ms falls on your head.  What's with that!  Isaac Newton got an apple and you got chocolate.  Well out of order!

Pest control a must I'd say.

Enjoy your gardening :D

You're an overcomer

I have been reading Tosca Rena's book, The Eat Clean Diet and she says we have to go through the cupboards/pantry and throw all the junk out.  I think for me everything is gone, but that's just because I haven't been shopping.

I know how hard it is, especially for me there's been so many birthdays. I think from now on we'll go out on birthdays, so there'll only be one serving of cake and none in the fridge downstairs calling my name.

We can do this...you just have to ignore the little voice in your head saying, "mmm, these poor little sweet m&m's are cold and all alone and need shelter, we can help them out." LOL!

Take care

Great attitude

You have a fantastic attitude shelly! Hope the weeding went well  - here it is the birds that get to the strawberries before the kids!

One bag of M&Ms is copable - just domt get hit on the head by a ton of them

Darn Those M&Ms

I so hate when that happens.  I'm with Tawanda - chuck 'em all out to the curb.  It's hard to let go - For me, I have that little old-fashioned voice in my head that says "there are starving kids in name-your-country" and that bag of Doritos shouldn't go to waste.  What a crock!  It's junk, junk, (although tasty!) junk.  And it's true - when you keep away from it long enough, you don't want it anymore.  The trick is keeping it from falling on your head like that.  Hard hat, maybe?     But you can do it!!!!

I have missed you....
