Can it be winter now!
This heat is enough to suffocate you. It has been 106 - 109 for about 2 weeks already. The humidity is starting to rise I know to most people 30% is nothing but when you rarely have humidity that's high.
I'm just glad I have some inside projects and my bike to keep me busy.
I'm doing really well with the bike. I am now up to 6 almost 7 miles a day and 56 min. So I will work with that for a few more days and then push for 1 hr and as many miles as I can push myself to. I am very pleased with myself for this accomplishment.
I have some sewing projects I need to get done also.
I had planned on leaving for the Mountains next week but know that I have gotten into excising I hate to stop at this point. Also before I leave I need to change phone service to Straight Talk as Metro will not work up there and I will have to order a couple cans of Oxygen to take along. So that kind of eats up July's budget. But we shall see what happens.
The other day I stopped in Safeway to pick up some meds and they had 3 pork loins for $4. and 2 steaks for $5. I knew at that price they would make great shoe leather. I first cooked the pork in the small croc pot for several hours until it started to just fall apart. I just added some herbs and chicken broth. So yesterday I put both the steaks in the croc pot with BBQ sauce and let them cook until I could shred them. Boy did they turn out great. I know I should have taken pictures but forgot. So I have lots of meals in the freezer and the fridge. Tomorrow or maybe Friday I will go to the grocery store for veggies as I am just about out.
Everyone have a great 4Th. and Please No Drinking And Driving Stay safe!
Good Night All
Enjoy the holiday dear!
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th of July to you, great job on riding you bike. keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteOnce you start exercising you find all kinds of things you can do to keep yourself going.
ReplyDeleteWe find the Crock Pot does a great job of making tough meats edible.
Be Safe and Enjoy the 4th of July.
It's about time.
Hi Jim My Friend,
ReplyDeleteYou enjoy the day also.
Hi George,
Thank You! I will enjoy the day right here at home away from the madness and heat.
Hi Rick And Kathy,
Yes feel more energized.
I have a large and small crock pot I make good use out of them both.
Thank You
Hope you have a good 4th Jo, you have a right to be proud of your self on keeping up the bike riding! Good for you and in the end you will get the reward in better health! I've just come in after working outdoors started at 8 am...and by noon I could wring out my clothes they were soaked in sweat. Had to shower then ran the sweeper over the rugs and cleaned up my box fan it gets a layer of dust on the blades and doesn't put out good air so now it feels great! They saw we may get rain this afternoon hope so we can use it.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, you are really having suffocating heat! I commend you for keeping up with your exercise routine, you are doing really well.
ReplyDeleteI have been meaning to try my crock pot that probably has not been used in at least ten years. You made a great buy with the meat you purchased.
Hope you have a Happy Fourth of July will probably be one of my saddest...I have no idea where this country is going at this time in history. Sorry did not mean to sound melancholy on your blog.
Hi Sondra,
ReplyDeleteI had a nice quiet day at home. I topped out at the 1 hr and 7miles this morning. Your brave being out there working on the yard but you do have lots of property to keep up. Jumping in the shower feels really good after a bif sweat LOL I should bring in my box fan and set it up in the work out room keep the air moving. Hope you get your rain.
Hi MsBelinda,
Yes we sure do get that nasty heat that's why I wish I could get out of here for the summer but to many things get in the way but I will work at it maybe next month who knows.
The crock pot is great for cheap cuts of meat. But I use it for making soups in the cooler weather and beans to.
I don't go anywhere for the 4th it's to crazy out there and it's way to hot. So I did a good ride on my bike and laundry. Hope if you did something it was fun.
