I am alive and here is my green hoop house and Garden.

We prepped the ground with lots of fertilizer from of course the cow pens down yonder.

Built a frame that holds the pipe in a curve and wont let if flip up. Laid soaker hoses all over the ground and put plastic over the top.

The last phase will be to put the plastic cover over but since it finally warmed up we will wait till the end of the season to put it on.

I pulled back some of the plastic in the center point to plant little rows of lettuce and radishes and green onions. I figure I can stay ahead of that much weeding space in the inside.

We tried our hand at  a few green beans some grew some did not. Of course these are on the outside because they have a shorter growing season.

Check out that yonder weed patch that sits right on the edge. This years moisture grew all kinds of stuff that is already going brown now that the rain and snow is gone  on a daily bases.

These are onions with some lettuce and chives and carrots of course trying to stay ahead of the weed patch that can take over.

Its been a lovely garden and I am now eating the produce from it.

I started another HCG round to drop the summer no run, few pounds gained. We have had lots of fun picking out the veggies that  are here and now I get to use them to lose the non attentiveness. The kids have kept me so busy with animal raising and then our faraway boy returning has made lots of changes so the pounds crept back on and yikes when the Levis were tight one day after wearing lose summer shorts I got back on the weight management ball, so here's to loosing my summer roll in the middle that I didn't relize was getting back on me.

Where do you put the fat back on?

137.2 Just make a win on Cheese today.

Am I am going to start a settle point? The scale has stayed today and thats a good sign.
Breakfast was an omlet with salsa and goat cheese
40 min combination of jump ropeing, bollywood dancing, Hubby laughed at me, and crunches again, would have gone outside to ride a bike but it started to pour rain.

Cheese do you want a chance to win some yummy cheese? Now only if your on P3 HCG'ers go here to enter and have fun seeing a cool blog at Simply the Sweet Life-Sweet Life in The Valley Secret is I hope I win cause I love cheese right now.

Eating today ended up being a mess, missed lunch cause of my job and early out school today. Felt like stress eating while sitting on the bus cause the kids yelled so so loud today, they would not settle down. It was a rough bus ride, I wanted to drowned in food instead of hearing the shrill voices especially the one I have to sit beside that is just so out of control sometimes. Add eye Dr. appointments and still no lunch, rain and running kids to FFA things, still no food, crashed into eating oreo cookies out of sheer starvation while grabing food stuffs at the store. Around 9 pm finally ate celary with Hummus and almonds and rasins and wheat thins. What a meal combination. Wonder what the scale will do in the morning. Maybe a happy way to look at it is that I carb loaded to run in the morning hours. Guess I will just have to wait and see.

146.8 Totally tired and it's not the end of the week.

I caught myself wondering what next week would be like and oh boy it's only Monday and I felt like it was Friday. I am way tired and ready for summer of freedom from school to be over. The kids are so bored that it's crazy. Now with my mini morphed into large job I would love for them to be on a set schedule so that my house quits being taken apart. Ah well I best be quiet now because in a few months I will be toting a different set of tirades of songs somewhere in the line of, oh I wish we had a little bit more freedom and not so many homework deadlines. HAHA balance it's just not there when you wish for other things to happen.

30 leg lifts 30 sit ups 30 curles with 5 pound weight and walked all over a ton.

Breakfast: Cream cheese smoothie with cherries and flax seeds and a cucumber.

Lunch: Nutella sandwich

Dinner: Eggs and pepper cheese with sauteed spinach sprinkled with lemon pepper and tomatoes,

Hubby said that the spinach was like something at a French gourmet restaurant and dang good he went without the eggs.

Pretty girl had her last horse drill team practise and her poor horse sure hated the flags whipping around his head that all the girls carried. Pretty girl needs to lift weights so her arms can get stronger.

Crashed into bed and I am sure I am going to drag back out for the rest of the week. I am unsure of posts as it's fair week in our county and that always means early early to rise and late late to bed.

147. Pizza Pic like I promised.

What a family of 9's version of Cauliflower Pizza looks like, here is the original recipe link to this. This is the cauliflower crust base cooked.

If you look real hard to the left you can see that one side is gourmet with spinach and onions that I pre sauteed on only a well not half of the family allotment for the Dad and me.

Finished with orange white mix of shredded cheese because all the mozzarella is in the crust mix.
Yep I would say this was one big hit pizza and the whole pan was gone really fast. This includes the pretty girl eating and that's an accomplishment because she really hates pizza but will eat mine if I make it. She didn't know that it was not a bread crust. The boys as you can see are inhaling it.

The next day I made smaller ones with some of the left over dough into taco pizza with chips crumbled on top and hamburger cooked with salsa and peppers and olives but the boys ate it to fast for a photo shoot.
Did my ABs video for my crystal ball and I can feel the move called the plank in my hips this evening. Did mini job and then went and cut limbs off tree branch that fell in my Mom and Dads yard. The boys have more wood to sale again.

149.4 or is it 148.8?? Whatever it is it's for sure a steak day tomarrow.

Steak day again!

I think that the carrot cake and the popcorn and no running has caught me today. I slept in and loved it since it's been the first sleep in for about a week. Getting groceries, repair work and doing laundry is the order for the Saturday.

What a great article this is, I so agree with it. When my boys wrestle the first thing they quit eating is sugar and white rice their coach is all over them about no fried foods or french fries either. This article talks about those same evils in all of our diets for the last few years.

It was a rather productive day, fixed a closet rod that boys keep knocking down and got ready to put a screen door on the front door with the help of my wonderful Dad. While the Hubby kept all the boys out in the field hauling the last of the hay of our side of the farm and then starting the irrigation which is always wet fun.
