30 Day Shred and Weigh In July 1, 2009

I woke up bright an early weighed myself for my Shrinking Jeans weigh in and much to my delight down another 1 lb, so in total that is 6 lbs in 6 weeks, since I have began my shredding journey.  I am so happy.

Since I completed each level I decided to start over with level 1 again, and it seemed like a really good work out, I added so arm weights to the squatting boxing and butt kicks, and can you believe I am sore, so yea that’s great that each level works slightly different muscles so it I know that its doing something.  Love that.

I have been eating really well and trying to keep the majority of my food consumption at breakfast and lunch and then for dinner I am just drinking a slim fast and a piece of fruit.  I am not going to lie some days its hard, but for the most part I am getting use to eating less.

If your curious in following my journey through the 30 day shred check this out.

So how did you do today?

The view through my lens July 1, 2009

Last Saturday started off as any normal day but now I am armed with a new camera, and couldn’t be happier than a kid in a candy store.  Seriously I think I have a problem.  I take picture after picture, who cares about laundry, or cooking.  I just want to take pictures, of anything and everything.  So want to take a little picture journey with me?

Lets start in my front yard, the plumbago’s are blooming

As well as my lovely Bougainvillea I’ve always loved this plant, she doesn’t bloom much but when she does I love the vibrant pinkish red color

Moving on to the garden, isn’t this Okra bloom beautiful?

And check out the watermelon’s its about the size of a baseball

Our Japanese eggplant is loaded full of eggplant! I have decided that I love the Japanese eggplant better than the black beauty eggplants.  I think the flavor and texture is excellent, in comparison.

I walked around and thought that our big Yucca would make an awesome pictures so I played with the focus

trying to get the tip of the needle in focus

I just love how this picture turned out

While I am busy playing around with my camera DT is busy picking the garden (ps. the boys were asleep in case you were wondering)

I then made a quick trip to my parent’s house, and took a couple of shots of one of their big oak trees

and a stump they recently had cut down, hey where did that dog come from, ha ha!! Yes I am a dork!

I did finally do something productive and made an awesome bread recipe

DT snapped this photo after some serious coaching, picture taking is not his fortay, just be glad my head is in the shot.

and I made this lovely breakfast the  next morning

Any guesses on what it is?  Here’s a few clues: it’s named after tree climbing critter that loves bananas!!!

psst: you guys were right it’s Monkey Bread, and yes I will have to post the super simple recipe.
