Belated Weekend Recap

Hola peeps and happy Tuesday.  Anyone else get engulfed by the wildfire smoke over the weekend?  Three days straight for us with lots of air quality alerts.  I hope my Canadian friends are doing okay. It was a bit of a lazy weekend to start until it wasn't.  (Thanks to me, I'm sure the Mr is mumbling under his breath.). I have been throwing myself into projects this month to keep myself from spiraling over Mom's birthday this week.  Not to mention constantly fighting every aspect of gardening and I swear I typed that sentence before that last time I tried in 2020.  I have fungus gnats in the elevated planters because of all of the damn rain we've been getting and the soil can't dry out for them to die off.  So I got some mosquito dunks that can be cut into 1/8's and put into a gallon of water overnight and then water the area to kill the larvae then dry the soil to kill the adults.  This is apparently common with organic gardening but frustrating...

Greetings from the Bakery- Weigh In

Um yeah, I don't know what to say.  Down 4 lbs this week which means I'm one pound from 200 lbs lost.  Let me tell you why this is hilariously funny.

1)  The house has been full of temptation and I lost not gained.  Score.

2)  IF I lose a pound next week do you know what it will be in time for?  A mini culinary vacation we have planned for NYE in which I will need to spend 2 weeks getting back to my previous weight.  So I *might* hit it long enough to have it taken away.  Fate is a funny bitch, ain't she?

So honestly, if I do hit it, I don't know that I'll say anything because I don't want a bunch of congrats for something that's going to be gone 4 days later and I'll be danged if I'm giving up Sprinkles cupcakes which I got screwed out of in San Fran for our anniversary so it'll be a mini celebration then back to business so it can be a permanent one.

I hope everyone's been enjoying the 12 Days of Treats posts!  I've gotten some great feedback from it and there are 2 more recipes left and I think they're pretty dang good.  The last one is my favorite...okay one of my favorites.

Have a great weekend y'all!

    The very fact that you'll be dancing with 200 pounds lost is AMAZING, and you KNOW that if it's a temporary thing at first, you'll definitely be seeing it again.

    That is SO awesome, congratulations! I don't blame you not wanting to say anything about the 200 lost until it's "real." I lost 100 and the then gained because I celebrated ; ) Way to go Mrs! Still lovin' the cookie posts!

    Showing a loss like that on a week where you have been baking like mad is crazy but wonderful. Congrats, that 200 mark is so yours, whether the number sticks around without an uptick or not.

    This is a testament to your willpower. You had more temptations around than any human being should ever be tempted by and yet you lost 4 lbs. You are amazing!

    Congrats on those 4 lbs!! What a super accomplishment, especially with all those goodies around. I've so enjoyed seeing the recipes and have them printed out. I decided not to do any baking this year, but I have them integrated for my January and February menus. I'll be celebrating with you on those 200 lbs, sweet thing!!
