Lake Weekend
Ahhhhh! It was such a relaxing weekend at the lake!
Maybe a little too relaxing.
Our little lake house is situated in the middle of the Ozark Mountains, about 20 feet from the water's edge. Unless you remember to bring your hiking shoes, (I didn't) then you are forced to laze around the house or swim. It was too cold to swim. Therefore I was forced to laze around the house. Sometimes, for a change of scenery, I lazed around the deck.
Once I lazed on the hammock out on the boat dock.
I lazed around so much that my legs started to ache. The kind of ache you get on a Trans-Atlantic flight. Now that's LAZY!
Besides lazing around, the other major activity is eating. We usually divide up the meal responsibilities, which creates a bit of a competitive atmosphere. We had some lovely grilled porkchops with a crispy onion/sausage relish. We had biscuits & gravy. I made grilled hamburgers and bratwurst. There was great watermelon, blueberry pancakes, homemade ice cream, s'mores around the bonfire...
But here I must congratulate myself: I stayed on my diet. Maybe not perfectly, but all things considered, I did pretty darn good. I had one little bitty beer and no other alcohol. One bite of ice cream. One s'more. Hardly a single chip. (Like I said, I wasn't perfect...)
I was able to start a new book: "John Adams" by David McCullough. It's pretty good so far. I've never had a big interest in the American Revolution, but that may change. McCullough does a good job breathing life into historical figures. And that's what makes them interesting.
Anyway, that's the weekend report. I came home to find my Chrysler Imperial rose in full bloom. And Tiffany is no slacker either. I'm in rose heaven!

That sounds NICE! I was lazy too...but my legs didn't start to ACHE! DAY-AM, that's LAZY!
I can't stay on diets, let alone when surrounded by great food. Congrats! How much more do you want to lose on your diet? All I've decided to do is exercise, and screw the rest. The exercise is at least giving me more energy. I probably will sloooowly burn off a pound or two every month as I keep it up, and I'm fine with that. The walking is painless, so I don't mind that lifestyle change.
