Chicken Soup for the Cold

My dear husband is trying to beat his cold. I think it was just as theraputic for him to make a vat of chicken soup as it is to eat it. He gets all gung ho on cutting up a whole chicken and boiling the carcass to make stock. Me, I'd just open a can of broth, dump, throw in carrots, celery, onion, etc....and call it soup. Took him 9 hours! At least it's good & good for us.

Since I had to put it away for him, I asked him to take this picture (it was taking up my valuable blip time). And, oh my!, I had to crop the *ell out of it! My flabby stomach done lopped up over the counter! Eegads! Put that on the fridge door for some motivation!

The girls and I made St. Patrick's Day crafts for hours today.

I took a brisk hour walk today. I was frozen when I started and sweating on the way back.

I looks like Joe is starting up a 'diet-together' today! I can't say I'm as daring to blip MY scale number yet, but the blip-together event did motivate me to lose 16 pounds since then! I ought to do an update picture.....
