A quick trip to the Cody, Wyoming area only a few hours away where there is the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, the Buffalo Bill Dam, and the East Entrance to Yellowstone National Park. Nearby is the Heart Mountain Internment Camp. Sadly when our old computer crashed we lost a lot of our photos so the only ones I have of the Cody area were taken when I went down with a friend to keep her company on a job doing checks on bank owned properties to indicate what upkeep and repairs needed to be done at a later time. These were taken driving out towards a property on the road to Yellowstone
Part of loosing weight or getting in shape is changing our behaviors when we continue in our old behaviors we need to ask ourselves if any of these are our immediate payoff: Pleasure, Psychological Calm, Emotional Relief, Irrational Rewards, Acceptance, Appeal of Immediate vs Delayed Gratification, or even Safety. As we start to move into September think if any of these apply to you and plan how you are going to respond. For example instead of having a piece of chocolate after I get a section of my house cleaned up I am going to put the amount that chocolate would have cost in a jar and when the house is all neat and tidy I am going to get either a book or a movie I have been wanting. Though since DH is working crazy hours still, and 12 year old is busy throwing I'm tired, I need to spend time on the computer, I need to do this on the ipad, I need to play with my kittens, I just plain don't want to do it because sister doesn't have to do as much ( never mind that 9 year old does more for her abilities and does her few chores willingly and without attitude) I might just have enough to get both.
Tomorrows plan is to put a ham in the crock pot in the morning and then get started on doing a whole lot of corn up for the freezer. My dad called me a little before 6 tonight asking how our corn was. I told him we still had some from the last batch about a week ago. He told me to meet him outside my gate in about 3.5-4 minutes because he had over 100 ears of corn for me to put up. The only reason I did not do corn tonight is I don't have any gallon freezer bags ( at least ones I can find) so DH is going to pick some up on his way home from work. I wasn't planning on going anywhere so he took our primary vehicle and I don't drive the other one.
I will try and stop in tomorrow a bit. Let's finish August out strong with our goals. Anyone want to host for September if not I can carry on with what I have though I might run out of photos unless you want bunny and kitten photos. ( I think I might have a few of our old fish that died when 9 year old decided at 6 years old that the fish needed an entire large canister of fish food at once).
