Hello, my wonderful readers! 🌟 It’s an exciting day here as I embark on an 8-week prep journey, and I’ve got some garden updates and a little fiery adventure to share. So, let’s dive into the world of fitness, flora, and flames!
Kicking Off with a Weigh-In and Power Breakfast 🏋️♀️🍳
My official weigh-in this morning clocked in at 154.8 – the start of an exciting fitness journey! To fuel up, I whipped up my favorite breakfast: a protein of your choice (pick your fav!), salsa, avocado, and hot sauce. It’s a morning game-changer. 🥑🌶️ For more healthy breakfast ideas, check out Healthline’s Protein-Packed Breakfasts.

Pepper Paradise: Our Spicy Spectrum 🌶️🔥
Our garden is also boasting a fiery array of hot peppers – habaneros, ghost, Carolina reapers, red chili, and jalapeños. It’s a spice lover’s dream come true! If you’re curious about growing your own peppers, Pepper Geek is a great resource for all things spicy.
Tree Tales and Wood Wonders 🌲🪵
Big news: BGE helped us cut down some trees, and a kind neighbor asked to take the wood, which works out perfectly for us. We still have this fascinating dead tree in the yard that you can see right through – nature’s own art piece!
Fiery Ordeal: Tackling Ants and Termites 🔥🐜
In a bit of a bold move, Greg decided to set fire to one of the stumps swarming with ants and termites. I was on edge the whole time, terrified of fire and worrying about the police showing up. It was quite the ordeal! For anyone dealing with pest control, Terminix’s Pest Control Solutions might be a safer bet than setting things on fire. 😅
