Wreath making adventures

More great days. I rode the bike to work and home to two very good rides.
I had christmas tree parts left over.
So I decided to make a wreath
Starting to take shape.
After a good trimming it is starting to look wreath like
That was last night. Today I gathered some berries and tonight Miss Shelby helped me decorate
All that it needed now was St. nicolas and to be hung on the door.

Getting ready for the new year

How did this gregorian fellow not think that tomorrow is New Year's Day? At any rate I am looking forward to the days getting longer. Been busy this evening. Rode home on the bike first time in over a week. I have high hopes of riding it in the morning.
We got our christmas tree up saturday but I had to cut over a foot off to make it fit. So tonight I formed a wreath with the limbs. I will bring me some berries home tomorrow to decorate it.
When I made french toast tonight I melted a few spoonfuls of honey in just a little milk before adding the rest of the milk and eggs.
For the syrup I grated the peel of an orange along with the juice from orange and a squirt of lemon juice in a pot with about a cup of aunt jemima and a little sugar to thicken it back up The family loved it!
When I got home this evening A pot was froze on the porch. Made for some interesting pictures

Christmas is near

It was a great sunday made bacon,eggs and toast for breakfast. Went to mall for some christmas shopping. Traffic was heavy but not to bad. Went to a few stores can't say which one's or sherri will know what I got her. Then went to McALISTER'S Deli . I had a half of reuben and a bowl of soup. It was good. I sat at a window seat so I could watch people as I ate. Went by Barnes and Noble for coffee before coming home to wrap gifts.

Fat people

I am fat! Most of my life I weighed one hundred thirty-five pounds. I tried every thing I could to gain weight. All I needed to do was hit forty. By may have 2009 I turned forty-three and weighed two hundred twenty pounds. I worked hard all summer and fall and lost down to one sixty-nine last new years. Thats over fifty pounds in less than a year.
Over the year I have been slipping,not bad I still eat nowhere near as much as I used to but make unhealthy choices. My time at the gym has dropped down also. I have been riding my bike home from work but I have been letting sherri take me to work in the morning so I don't have to wake up as early. The weight has snuck back. All in my belly I look like a snake who swallowed an egg.
I weighed yesterday two hundred ten pounds. I can feel every one of them as it is harder to breath,harder to bend over,harder to move. My pants size has doubled. None of my cloths fit.
Something must be done. It would help if I did not love food and trying new foods. Snacks in the evening is a major problem.
Wanting to finish my plate at restaurants is a problem also I need to learn to quit when I am full.
I am developing an action plan now.

Getting ready for a new year

I have lots of ideas and goals for the new year. One goal is to have more blog entries.
