Hope everybody had a Happy Labor Day! I did. I spent time with my husband and a friend. Just hanging out for the most part, but it was fun. I'm still not smoking, and I am still working out at the gym. I'm still eating too much, so my weight hasn't gone down, but I am building muscle, so that's good. I am also keeping better control of my diabetes.

Things are going well. I have everything I need and most of what I want. I would like to take a long trip with my husband but will have to wait on that as I don't want to leave my Mom for too long. She is being taken care of in assisted living and has 24 hour sitters, but she needs me to run errands for her and feels more secure with me around.

I have been reading more about starting a garden, and have hubby fairly convinced we need to start a home garden. We tried beans at the beginning of the summer, but they didn't work out. I think they were not watered enough. I've been reading a bit about container gardening and may try that during Fall and Winter.

Enjoying being a non smoker and I credit God given will power and Chantix. Hope you stay smober!

Here's what I made for our Labor Day lunch. A grilled filet, steamed asparagus and a salad. Very good.
