Garden Pics and update.

My last post... Where I said we had a small family party for my little turning 5... What I failed to mention is that there were cupcakes involved. I had planned on not having any. I bought 24- 3 were to stay home for the boys (and daddy) and 21 to go into daycare the following day on his actual birthday. Well me being the bright bulb that I am gave in to the request for cupcakes early, My husband had promised to make B a cake for his birthday the next day and cupcakes and cake would be over kill riiight?  Anyway I let them have a cupcake each early before we did gifts. In the process I got icing on my hand and licked it off like a dumb ass. Did I mention it was my favorite kind? Only 20 cupcakes made it into daycare the next day (only needed to send 18 for kids)

That started a 3 day journey into eating all kinds of shit that I had been denying myself for the year.  Holy crap now that I think about it everything I ate naughty in that time frame was grain based. Pizza (3 slices over 2 days), 1 cupcake, Great American Cookie (2), pancakes (3-no syrup as they were cinnamon roll ones from IHOP) I knew damn well I needed to put the brakes on before it turned into a week, 2 week, 3 weeks and so on. I half ass tried day 3 but not enough for me to count it as being back up on track. I pulled myself up Saturday and began the process of grain/sugar detox again.  I gained 3 pounds from this negative eating but I am happy to say as of this morning it is gone.  :)

I am back on track with my eating. Avoiding grains and sugar again and I feel great.

Below are some update garden pictures for anyone who is watching it grow with me.

May 6th- Look at my babies grow! Second plant from right in front row there is a baby bell pepper you can just make out.

Grape maters in front. Patio maters in back. There are so many clustered on one side on that plant I had to prop it up.

Baby macho nacho jalapeno pepper.  Can you see it?
