Summer time and the living is easy.

Summer time and the living is easy. I think menus get lighter in the summer as long as you avoid ice cream. I find that if I don't eat certain things then I want them more. So, I bought Weight Watcher's ice cream bars. I'm going to put yogurt in the freezer to see if it will freeze. I had a yummy salad for lunch. I bought Walden Farms sugar free, calorie free chocolate dip. We'll see of it has a good taste. They also have caramel and marshmallow.

The Walden Farms stuff is nasty. The Weight Watcher's ice cream bars were good. Bomb Pop popsicles are good, too.

I went to the local Farmer's Market and was very happy with what I found. I needed fruit for my fruit salad. My fruit salad-I am calling it my fruit salad study, because I started the fruit salad about two weeks ago and I haven't finished it yet. I need to leave some in the bowl in order to use it as "starter" for whatever I add.  Bananas turn totally brown in the fruit salad.  I just added blueberries, raspberries and cherries. I pitted the cherries myself without a cherry pitter. It was hard work, but kind of fun, because I got to get messy and I dyed my fingers purplish.

I also got eggplant and cherry tomatoes. I was hoping that Justin would like eggplant, but he doesn't. I still might add some to the quiche I plan to make.  Also, something that I did not know, eggplants have very sharp prickers. Ouch!

I've been swimming laps and I plan to join the indoor pool for the fall.  It is reasonable and the almost always have lap swimming available. The upside of swimming is that a pair of shorts that did not fit anymore fit now. They are very stretchy, but stretchy only stretches so much. The downside to swimming is that it dries out my feet. Of course that could be because I am wearing sandals everyday. 

I did not get on the scale yet for this week. Mainly, because I forgot. I'll do it tomorrow.  I am doing modified Weight Watcher's in that, some days I am following it and other days not so much.  I mean Five Guys fries may be a billion points.  At least, I had a Little Hamburger and not a Hamburger. If you've been to Five Guys, you will know what I am talking about.
