I MET MY GOAL!! But, I’m not going to claim victory just yet. I’ll give it a few days to see if I can either maintain the weight or hopefully, reduce the weight even more.
Tonight I fixed a chicken pot pie in one of my Dutch Ovens. It was good to be able to enjoy myself cooking again. I haven’t cooked for my family in a while because lately all I’ve been doing is cooking for other people.

This morning, as usual on most Sunday mornings, I got up and cooked breakfast for my kids. It’s a tradition that my mom did for us as kids and I want to keep that tradition going. This morning it just so happens that I cooked bacon and eggs. My wife cooks 99.9% of the time during the week and I try to cook at least one meal during the weekends.
After breakfast I cleaned up the kitchen, changed into my workout clothes and got on the treadmill for nearly an hour. I did 2.75 miles at an average of 3.2 mph. I have nothing planned this week so maybe I can keep this trend up. Being that the time has changed it’s now too dark to do anything outside once I get home to do anything else. Might as well get on the treadmill instead of just sitting in my recliner watching television.

Today is the first day of thirty days of a treadmill exercise program. This evening I just did a little over thirty minutes and 1.56 miles. I know it’s not much but each day I will try to increase both the time and the milage. Two years ago I had gotten up to an hour and a half and up to a little over five miles before I got burnt out and quit. Maybe I can work up to that again before the month is over with.
The above picture is of the chicken pot pie that I made yesterday. It went over very well and was loved by everyone that had some. I’ll post some pictures tomorrow of some of the mayhem that went on during the trick or treating. It was crazy.
Other than doing the treadmill this evening I haven’t done much of anything but edit a few pictures and watch some football with my son before he had to leave for college. Tomorrow I continue with my hellish job at least for another 34 more months. I can only hope and pray that it gets better.

Cobblers on on!
After a week that I’d rather not repeat, there’s no other way to get my mind off of things than to spend a Saturday doing what I like doing. It wasn’t too relaxing but at least it kept my mind occupied on other things other than work.
Our Boy Scout troop set up a tent at our first annual Founders Day Celebration. I brought a couple of my Dutch Ovens and made a couple of cobblers and sold them with all the proceeds going back into the troop. The day started around 5:45am and I think I finally got everything loaded around 5pm. It made for an extremely long day but I got to see old friends and made several new ones.
We had to set up in a asphalt parking lot in which I had to stand for most of the day. Right now both my feet have swelled and they hurt so I’ve got them propped up. Even with the pain that I have in my feet and legs I think today was well worth it.

I think I have everything loaded for tomorrow’s cookout. We’re expecting to feed around 50 people. We usually cook way more that what’s needed but I would hate to run out of food. We’ll have a couple of main dishes, bread and of course a couple of cobblers, all made in these Dutch ovens. I’ve got my 14″ skillet to brown the meat and my Lodge grill to heat the skillet. These are but a few of my treasures. I have a few more but really won’t be needing all of them. I may not use all of these but I’ll have them just in case.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!
