Weight Watcher Wednesday- Not giving up


Ok, So I can't give up! I know that, but this week continues to be a bit tough for me. After all the pushing myself to be on plan, working out to feel better and to get out of this funk, I weighed in today expecting to see some result and instead I gained this week. I don't get it! Ugghh!

Not sure what the HELL is going on, but please excuse me if I take this small chance to vent today. I'm frustrated! I'm down right now, BUT I will not dwell on it too much. Instead, I will also take this opportunity to remind myself that I can't give up.


                                      



I've worked too hard, and I ultimately know that all the hard work I put in will eventually show up and the working out is making me healthy no matter what. I'm in it for my health too!






                                                                                                                                                                          


I'm done with the griping
Thank you for listening
I hope that none of you will give up either...Fight On with me!!


Forward and onward...from my corner to yours,

A Pinterest Experiment- DIY Green Onions

So I figured this week would be a good time post a set of pictures I took over a week ago based on a post I found on Pinterest about DIY re-growing green onions in your own kitchen. Not that I didn't believe it, but I wanted to try it out for myself, and I took pictures to document the process. I found this fascinating, and I needed to share. I took them with my iPhone, and I didn't take them with any special style in mind, so they're not spectacular but they give the story.

So here was the daily process:


Friday, April 20th
I started with a set of onions I had just cut down to almost the white of the onion.
I took the short stems in the glass jar full of water, and set them by kitchen window sill.

Monday, April 23rd
After a few days, I was shocked to see the growth

Tuesday, April 24th
Wow, even more just overnight!

Wednesday, April 25th
And it continued...

Thursday, April 26th
And after just 6 days I have a new stalk of green onion to use!!

Isn't that the coolest thing ever! I don't know, I thought so, lol! It was almost like a science project for the kids too and they loved it. It was just a fun and simple experiment to do, and one that I will be doing often.

So again, I just wanted to share something fun today. Hope you'll try it at home too!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Tuesday from my corner to yours...
