My scales are so wacky that it is hard to tell some days if I have lost weight. Plus, I weigh at home with few clothes. At TOPS I am fully clothed except for shoes. However, I truly believe I am losing weight.
That brings me to the title of the post--all the wonderful fresh summer fruits and vegetables given to me the last few days. Two friends called and said to come get a gallon of figs. Oh, Happy Day! I took them a pint of fig preserves from last season. While I was there, they gave me a dozen tomatoes and a huge mess of Purple Hull Peas.
The tomatoes have inspired me to eat more salads. However, the tomatoes are inspiring me to buy bacon for BLTs. It is worth the chance of gaining weight to buy bacon and think about stuffing myself with sandwiches!
However, not eating much pasta and limiting my milk to just white will help me to lose weight and enjoy summer sandwiches. After all, when else is a BLT so delicious?
I really regret not planting anything this year. However, it has been so hot that many friends report their tomatoes are splitting and the whole plant is dying with tomatoes intact.
Tomorrow will be peas and tomato day! Cole slaw will work with that. Of course, I cooked four chicken breasts earlier in the week and still eat those with meals.
Crab apples wait for me to pick. I was going to pick them today, but never did. So, that is pushed forward to Saturday if it does not rain.
What are you "putting up" this summer?
