Planting Perennials

I wanted to find a
visual tutorial for planting
perennial flowers.
I found this video.
The quality is a little low...but
it is pretty simple to follow.

I continue to remind folks that...
my favorite 'choice' for fertilizer is...
"Worm Poop"

Calorie Restriction Diet Plan


One of the most talked about diet plans is the
Calorie Restriction Diet Plan.
In a nutshell...the calorie restriction diet plan
calls for you to decrease your current daily calorie intake
by 500 calories...to equate to 3500 calories a week.
Scientists guesstimate that one pound of fat
is the equivalent of 3500 calories.

The plan also calls for cutting out
sugars, saturated fats and most dairy foods.

Personally...while I agree that we should
cut BACK on sugars....(I can't eliminate them completely)...
saturated fats and high fat dairy foods..
I think it possible
to incorporate the 'spirit' of the
Calorie Restriction Diet Plan
and lose weight...
by..
cutting the 500 calories a day...
exercising daily...
and taking nutritional supplements
to keep muscle mass and energy levels high.

I love the 'Diet Plate' pictured above...
what a great way to portion our
meals....and cut those excess calories...
Amazon offers several styles
of plates...check them out
here.
