Update. Since my last post I have lost about 4 lbs. I was going to blog about food choices and calories and struggles and indulgences and failures and exercise and probably whine and post some pictures of my progress but this has been the easiest time i've ever had losing weight. I'm not denying myself and I'm not having any big struggles (like devouring a stack of waffles on a saturday morning!)

My garden is planted, our 4 new baby chickens are happily enjoying the green grass and pecking each others feather's out. We've had a handful of evening fires with marshmallow roasting. Overall, we're on a good pace for welcoming summer!
