Hi kids. Sorry I've been MIA, I've just been truly inner focused and didn't feel like typing for a bit. So this will be a pretty long post to catch everyone up on Smuvy's Life!

I'm down 10 pounds. Might not seem like much but, to me, it's everything. I would lose about 5 pounds and get stuck..... and then get super frustrated and put on a pound... and then go right back up to what has been my *stable* weight.... stable weight being the weight I've been pretty much at for the last 5 years.

I've absolutely been trying to lose weight since the PIC was born however, no matter what I did, I steadily climbed... I can easily lose 75 pounds... but more like 100 would be better... and 125 would still make me overweight. Being almost 50 years old, I am NOT trying to get down to a sexy weight... just basically attempting to get healthy.

My health SUCKS... and I mean bad. I get winded walking to the toilet!! :lau I had been doing modified AIP/Keto/Paleo for many MANY years, and I have still gained weight... SO, taking a TINY page from my friend PBM (who is an ovo-vegetarian I believe), I decided to go lacto-ovo-pescatarian. That's pretty much a fancy way of saying I am cutting meat from my diet. I am pretty much lacto (dairy) free as well, as the only dairy I WAS eating was yogurt, and I've started eating coconut yogurt instead. I still use ghee, but it's free of milk solids so, technically, not lactose based. Cheese free :hitanyway as there's proteins in it that cause me issues.

Going *meat free* has really stepped up our fish eating game though. Wow.... I think we have more seafood in our home right now, than we've even eaten as a family in the last 5 years! I've stocked up on salmon and cod, and tuna packets... whatever I've seen on sale. I've spent waaaaay too much time online looking for and at recipes.

PIC started summer camp this week! He is thrilled! He is back in the same group as his girl friend, M, and has made 2 new friends, C and L. C and L are already best friends, but have included the PIC whenever they wrestle and horse around.

PICs 9th birthday is coming up on the 25th! We're so happy. Taking him and the neighbor boy to KY Down Under Zoo (google it!) the weekend before hand. Hopefully, we'll be able to send cupcakes in for his group on his birthday too.

The ducks are doing well. They've started quacking. It hilarious to listen to them. One of our 2 mallard/rouens we believe is a drake as he is much smaller than the other one. Our Golden 300s are gorgeous, and lemon drop has pretty much lost the lemon and is a dewy white.

We still haven't taken out any of the roosters. Definitely one going to Crockpot Camp this weekend though. There are just too too many for the girls to physically handle and escape.

If anyone feels up to it, could you give me a condensed version of whatever has been going on here? Thank you!

Love y'all!

That's so funny...a lobster is actually what made me go vegetarian 28 years ago! (on my first honeymoon, with the crazy hoarder ex-husband, in Jamaica, lol) And while I'm pescatarian I still can't eat lobster. It freaks me out! Those stalky eyes and all those legs, ugh!
