I'm following you and OTA, and heading for the farmers market. Actually, to the very large flea market, which includes the farmers and their marketables. We'd planned on getting an aloe-vera plant, and nothing more.

But having read this, I'm really hankering for some of those marvelous Hutterite sweet peas!

Pat, You inspired me this morning. I read this post, then went straight to the farmers market. I have a pot of beans on the stove now fresh from the garden. Yumm. Thank you!~Peace, OTA

But whatever I do, I drink at least 60 oz of water a day, at work 80 oz.

I'm terrible, I swing between periods of eating crapola or eating very

little at all.

I must admit this week has been particularly bad with cookies for breakfast.  But when I am good, I always start with porridge/oatmeal.

Adopting a daily schedule for meals and healthy snacks helps tremendously. Once your body becomes accustomed, you'll find you rarely experience those diet-destroying bouts of hunger that result in over-eating. Also there's a plethora of sugar-free sweets and goodies on the market. Despite the ridiculousness of "sugar-free sweets," some of them aren't bad at all.

You make me wish I'd left a couple of hours ago to go down to our City Farmer's Market.  Its open all day, but its most fun when you go early.
