Getting the Lard Off Progress Report – August 3, 2016
Jason Noack via Emily Davis,trendingly.com
In another 2 weeks I will have been eating low carb and exercising for one year.
I’ve lost 46 lbs and 22″.
I’ve run into a hurdle, in that my body is having trouble fully processing fat. I had my gallbladder out several years ago and apparently that adds a challenge. I researched it on the net and found a pill duo that seems to be solving the problem!
I just got an Instant Pot
a 5 quart pressure cooker. It’s supposed to save 70% of cooking time. I’m interested in anything that helps me cook nice meals without staying in the kitchen a lot. I’ll report to you if I find some good low carb recipes in the book I got to go with it.
We cooked burgers on the grill last night. I had a burger, salad, black olives, and green olives while my husband enjoyed a bun, potato salad, cole slaw, beans and some of my salad. Delicious, and low carb!
It would be nice if I could reach 50 lbs off by the time I see my doctor for my quarterly blood test, but if I don’t, I’ll get there in whatever time it takes. The ultimate goal is another 25 pounds off from where I am now. That would put me at a healthy weight for my height. (Hopefully, I’ll quick shrinking or my ‘ultimate’ will have to increase…)
Meanwhile, even with the awful heat and humidity we’re having, my energy level is better than it’s been for years. I feel good and am dreaming of art projects I want to try. :0)

Painting Party and Cookout
My husband and I tried to use the paint sprayer a couple of evenings ago to paint the light green basecoat on the 1000 gallon propane tank. We tried adjusting the spray and changing the nozzles to no avail. My husband now has an order in for a nozzle that is supposed to be for exterior latex paint, but I’m going to go ahead and do the tank.
This is the watermelon design we found on the net, created by some creative someone. I wish I could give credit, but it wasn’t supplied. Anyway, we laughed when we saw it and hope visitors to our place will do the same.
Our good friend Carla wanted to know if I wanted help painting the tank. DID I!!!!! My husband is showing no interest in the project, particularly now that the spray painter let us down. Carla is coming for a ‘Painting Party and Cookout’ this evening about 7, when it starts cooling off a bit (we hope). While we’re painting, my husband will grill some delicious burgers for dinner.
We have short rollers and a long roller and several roller heads, so I’m hoping that the two of us can make pretty short work of the painting of the light green first coat. I have no idea if we’ll need one coat or need two to get a really good base, but we’ll see. Then when it’s dry, I’m hoping she’ll return to help me free hand the dark green paint.
I’ll post pics when we get the first coat of light green paint done.

August Lewis Mailbox Decoration
The heat index today is 113 degrees F., so this seems an appropriate decoration for our mailbox. This is called, “Hot Man.” This is the back of the decoration. You can see where I was trying to blend in the attachment bracket, plus a strenthener rod that went from his heel up to his waist.
Here’s the front of the decoration. I feel just like this poor man the minute we walk outside. The heat and humidity slap us in the face and sap our energy. To the left of this picture, you can see the top half of our robot and one of the owls.
I’m ready for the worst of this to pass.

July 2016 Creative Artworks Contest Winner
The July contest was for a hand-painted tote bag of mine. The background is hand-painted with blue and gold. The daisies’ stems and leaves are hand-painted. The daisy heads are made of felt and are sewn onto the tote.
The winner of the tote is Wendy Lee from Freehold, New Jersey!
The tote is on its way to Wendy Lee as I type.
The design is available in an extra large size, if you’d like to take a look. This is also a one-of-a-kind tote.
You can see my other tote bags and hand-painted purses here.
Other totes available under the holiday headings on the website.
