101 goals
How are the other 101 goals coming along?
The 101 goals in 1001 days has been a wonderful idea. (See the ‘101 goals’ page if you want more information on what this is.) I now have permission to do some things that have been rattling around in my head for a long time. The tyranny of the urgent, you know. Cooking, home schooling, … Continue reading
Goal #6 update and If I’m So Smart
If I’m So Smart, Why Can’t I lose Weight, by Brooke Castillo This book has been so helpful. I am continuing to learn the hunger scale, and my reactions to it. What’s a hunger scale? It’s a scale from -10 (starving) to +10 (so stuffed I feel sick). The goal is to eat when I … Continue reading

The barn quilts are coming along! The chicks at 3 weeks. Rooster Spring bulbs under the roses! Midnight Daffodil, a spider’s home

I will probably un-curtain the window it in a couple of days and see how they do, though they seem quite happy with just the light from the heat … Continue reading
Oh yeah, I remember!
This blog may turn out to be mostly about facing and dealing with weight issues for the next 1,000 days. With some gardening, farming, and cooking thrown in! We’ll see.

New chicks and goal #6
We got new chicks today! 10 of them from Tractor Supply. And I learned that ‘pullet’ means a young hen. (I thought it had something to do with meat chickens.) We got a mixture of breeds, 5 brown egg layers and 5 white egg layers. We have them in the old washer/dryer room which is small … Continue reading
