What I'm Reading This Week #25

Hello and happy Friday from the land of the scorching sun.  We are in for absolute Hades conditions the next few days, right on cue for the summer solstice.  You know I'm not happy about that. 😒 Thankfully, my other 50% shade cloth just arrived and is airing out so they can go on in the afternoons.  I have stuff in the big planters that are not fans of scorching heat so I need to be as on it as possible if I don't want it to go to poop for other reasons to add to the current reasons.  (Rain, pests, etc) I'm tryin' y'all!  I just got my little lint rollers to roll aphids/larvae off instead of wasting shipping tape.  I swear to you I have not seen ONE BEE since everything went in.  There was this chubby bumble bee that would hang out when our lilac was in bloom and just zone out levitating so I thought for sure she would be here for it all.  Nope.  The second it bloomed, it was gone.  I haven't seen honeybees at all.  I've checked ...

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!!
