LN had two 4-H community service events on Saturday.

Her club filled 25 baskets for the elderly with homemade goods.

This meant we needed 25 donations.

Hence Friday I baked 225 small loaves of Lemon-Blueberry Bread.

It took all day.

I made the same recipe 7 times over.

7 sticks of butter

7 cups of sugar

about 9 cups of blueberries (I added extra)

a dozen lemons

alot of stuff, so much I ran out and had to go for supplies 2/3 of the way through

 

 

LN wrapped them after they cooled. I hope the recipients enjoy a bit of Christmas cheer.

This cheered me...

It's ceramic and heavy and fun.

Keeps my tea warm alot longer. Yes it's regular black but I drink alot of green tea as well.

Working out and diet modifying is continuing.

I walk as fast as I can on treadmill (w/o running-knees) for an hour and do cardio exercises each day

 if I don't go to the gym with my trainer.

So far so good.

Food stinks. I don't care for chicken breast or fish but I eat it.

Still yuck!

A few family members are opposed to my working out.

Seems it interferes with their expectations of what I should spend my energy and time on.

Not gonna stop me just pisses, yes I said piss, me off and makes me work harder.

I may never be bikini ready or win Mrs. America but that isn't my goal.

I'll go till I'm ready to say, "I like me".
