So here are the photos from our Hike:

So last night we were drumming for 3 hours, which I discovered burnt a bunch of calories. Since I was sweating and felt like I was working out I figured it had to be a bit of a workout. What a fun one it was. My favorite part was certainly the rain sticks,,, I had to stand up to use it. Great time, great people, lots of smiles, NO DRAMA!! (Sighs of ( Read more... )

So yesterday Arial and I seen this on the back of someone's car:

"In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act." - George Orwell

Hmmmm I guess I am a revolutionist. :) I love the truth it just makes for better endings.

Today we are going to a drum circle thing in downtown Baltimore that has NO affiliation with anyone we ( Read more... )

So this week I gained a pound or two but I think it was water weight gain. Today I was back down to 200lbs. I am holding steady in that range. This is good, very good. I have lost 15 lbs so far and I am happy with my progress. But My weight loss is NOT what I am counting here.  Here is a list of things that have changed since New years when I made ( Read more... )

I love it when you point out an issue with someone.... and then a complete STRANGER points out the same EXACT problems with the same person.

Think the hard headed person will hear it??  Maybe? Change only happens when you stop making excuses and point out the problem!

*Smiles* at her accuracy in timing on these things...

 
So Arial has been baking bread and has made some REALLY good stuff. Since we are trying to be more sustainable this is perfect for us, but not so much for my "lifestyle" change. I found that I love fresh baked bread with honey. Now one serving of this for a snack is NO problem and actually good for me since it's whole wheat bread. BUT today I am ( Read more... )

So in the past 2 days I been reading a lot about Stage 3 of the Sparkpeople.com diet. It seems I can cut back to logging my food about once a week. I have an issue with that!! First of all I am having some emotional struggles right now PLUS I am PMSed. This is NOT a good time for me to step off that journal. So I think instead I am going to wait ( Read more... )

So Arial and I have been doing all we can to stay focused on OUR lives and how happy we can be doing gardening and other sustainable type living. Of course, we live in the city so things are a bit different than the sustainable type living that I am familiar with. I have 10 years of experience in country living but city living... well what if you ( Read more... )

So today after shopping and running errands today I just couldn't resist taking a hike out in a park. Arial checked out a Baltimore Trail Hiking book from the library. I was drooling on it as soon as we got home and just couldn't wait to explore a trail. I hope to explore many of the local state/city parks this spring/summer/fall. I want to try and ( Read more... )

 Today was kind of disapointing. Mainly because I wanted to go hiking and couldn't due to rain. It sucks but I guess that's life. Maybe this weekend we can go. For now I need to concentrate on work. This coming week I need to work on building another website plus all my normal crap ( Read more... )
