Fitbit ....

I've been looking to purchase a Fitbit for awhile now

so when I saw that they were being offered to include the extra pack

of bands in different colors, perfect time to buy!

the 3 pack of bands is $30 so you got that free

Except that all they had left were the large size bands and I wear

a small. But the sales person suggested that I go ahead and get

the large while they were on special and then just check back

later and exchange for the small.

And I must say, I love it!!

It forces me to keep my eye on my steps so that keeps

me motivated. The pedometer was just a pain, not always tracking

very accurately and always falling off.

The Fitbit fits perfect on my wrist and I never take it off. You

can even shower with it on. I do remove every 5th day to charge it.

I don't do the calorie tracking. I was so happy when I started

clean eating and didn't have to track calories or fat or anything

like that so there was no way I was going back to that.

I do track my water and that keeps me on track to drink

the right amount.

And I really love the sleep tracker. It tells me how many hours

of solid sleep, how many restless times and how

may times I was awake. No real reason to really

need that but I just think it is very cool.

You can set your goals for steps and when you hit your

goal for the day, the Fitbit vibrates on your wrist. And that

makes me happy because then I know I've hit that goal for the day!

Cafe string lights .....

I bought some café string lights for our outside area

we have a large deck and a nice size patio

and around all of that is my flower garden

So I wanted some lights to illuminate the area

but just never found anything I really liked

 

then these came out at Bed, Bath, Beyond and they

were perfect!!

 

 

so we bought 3 sets and strung them through the trees and it looked

so beautiful and unfortunately, I do not have a picture of them on

because.........some dang squirrel bit through the wire!!

 

I think I need to move the 2 bird feeders because the squirrels

are always trying to get them so maybe if I move those, they

will stay off of my lights!

I'll put up pictures after Johnny repairs the wire

Oil and Vinegar ....

One of our local malls has an Oil and Vinegar Shop!

 

It's awesome.......they have an entire wall of all different kinds of olive oil and

vinegars that they dispense from. And they sell different size bottles

 

so once you purchase a bottle, you just bring it back each time and only

pay for your refill.

they have samples of all of them so that you can taste

before purchasing....great!!

 

And oh my gosh, they are ALL so good!!

seriously, I wish I could have that dispenser wall in my own kitchen!!

 

 

My favorite is the Basil Olive Oil and I mix it with the tomato

vinegar for my salad dressing......so dang good!!

 

I use the garlic olive oil for roasting all of my veggies!

yummm!

35 years.....

Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband

35 years ago today we said our "I do's" in the little

church that I grew up in.

 

I loved him so much that day but now, 35 years later, I love

him even more!

 

no big celebrations this year......we are heading down to the

beach for a few days so that will be fun to get away just

the 2 of us and relax at our favorite place, OBX!
