Blah Blah Blah Blah

Let's see.

We've had Doctor's appointments, nothing major.

I went with a friend to learn more about her new bunny, that was pretty entertaining.

And once again, we're trying to commit to a solid eating and exercising plan (are you all sick of hearing that yet?)

I looked around online and found a program called Lose It.  It's free, and allows you to set goals, track food, nutrients and all that good stuff.  I will be going to Kaiser for a metabolic test, and that will tell me how much I need daily to maintain my current weight (not my plan) and give me a realistic idea of what my caloric intake should be for losing.  We spoke with a dietician and will continue using low carb as a basis, but hopefully by tracking all nutrients (protein, fat, sugars and fiber) it will give us a better idea of what direction we need to take.

And of course, the fly in this ointment is always exercise.

Why is that always so hard for us?  I wish I knew.  It's certainly much easier when we're on the road and there are new sites to see.

That said, we've committed to do this, so today we walked a mile or so and of course I took pictures.  I didn't have the camera, just my phone, but there's a lot to see.

The recent heat has brought out so many flowers.

This guy decided to come and say hello

For whatever reason, I like this picture.

I also liked this garden, 

maybe it's the way the light shows through the fence.

Just before we got back home, I heard a bunch of black birds raising a ruckus.  A big ruckus.  Looking up in a tree, I saw a large owl.  Unfortunately, I couldn't get the shot.  I'll be bringing my camera from now on.

And that's it for tonight.
