This is my new favorite snack. So now my daily food intake consists of 2 rice cakes with peanut butter, a yogurt and a bag of Yogo Bits. You would think with as little as I eat a day I would lose weight. But nope, still have that extra 30 pounds hanging aroung. Hopefully once I start with these iron injections I’ll feel like eating again and still be able to lose this extra weight.
It’s been so hot here the last couple of days and we still have one more day of this muggy weather. It is even too hot for Simba. Usually when I get home from work and get Gary off to work we go outside and work in the yard or he plays while I sit in the swing with a good book. But the last couple of days he hangs around inside the house with me until later in the evenings and then we go out and water all the plants and sit around in the swing together.
This is my favorite time of the year, the warm summer evenings, watching the lightening bugs dance around at night while my cats rough house in the yard.

But I haven’t been able to find out much about it and I would love to hear from any of you that has had this done.
