Evening bike ride

This is one of the county roads we ride our bikes on every evening. Its so green, beautiful and pleasant here. I love it.

Grinding Ezekiel flour

I am going to grind some of what I call Ezekiel flour for myself and my mom. We use a portion of it in our mix when we make bread. We feel this adds proteins and vitamins and other benefits to our bread. It must be good for us if God told Ezekiel to make bread from certain beans. I don't have every thing God mentioned so I use what I do have. I put things like pinto, black, red, kidney, barley, rice, corn, and anything else I find into the grinder.

I am so thankful my mom has loaned me her electric grinder to use. It sure beats cranking by hand. I told mom that I would keep her supplied with wheat flour and Ezekiel flour if I could keep the grinder at my house. She said that was fine so I happily keep her supplied.

Courtney and Kaitlyn are here for a few days while their parents and aunt travel to Illinois and back. Pray for their safety.

Apparently the pool has a swim time from 8-9 pm on Tues and Thurs for women to swim with out children. A lady called me just now and asked me to go. I need the exercise but I hate putting on a suit. They do not allow anything over the suit. No t-shirt no shorts.

Diet

Once again I am starting a diet. I was going to go raw, but I do like cooked food too. I want to lose weight but I don't want to suffer. I think that's not possible.
Tomorrow my new treadmill will be delivered. Yippee. It will take a while to work up to a good work out because I am so out of shape. The girls need more exercise too.
I think we will try to eat as much raw as possible, and once in a while some meat. It will be a process to give up meat.
When you live and were raised in cattle country its hard to imagine no meat. Everyone looks at the vegetarians like they are nuts. We will see how this works. The one thing I know for sure it will include lots of veggies and fruits.
We made veggie burgers for lunch and they were yummy. Recipe will be posted on tuesday for kitchen tip tuesday.

Hula Hoops

We, OK I have been trying to make adult size hula hoops for exercise. I bought what I thought and was told was 3/4 inch irrigation tubing. I kept trying 3/4 inch connectors and they were too small and I couldn't figure out why. Well, today I went out and measured the tubing. Its 1 inch. No wonder the connectors wouldn't work. I will try using the correct connector and see how that works. I am going to give the guy who sold me 3/4 in tubing a hard time next time I see him. LOL
