Tomato Watch 2008, Vol II

Still anxiously watching, and things are coming along. We're having a good stretch of hot, sunny days at the moment so that should help.

Yesterday:



Today:



My faithful Cupids are still yielding a small but steady supply.



They pretty much get eaten as soon as they come off the plant.



And I am still getting the odd handful of sugar snap peas.



Today was quite hot and when I went out after work, I noticed my Tomatillo and Cupid Tomatoes were all wilted. Being in pots, they need regular watering during hot weather. As I was watering my Cupids, I noticed that the branches that had grown up against/through the fence were chewed off.





I went for a walk after supper, and when I came back saw the cats at the fence, looking up the hill.



And there were the culprits behind my chewed tomato plants.





Which is one of the reasons we have a fence. If we had no fence, there would be no tomato growing. So a few nibbles are not seeming like that big of a deal.

Beck Diet
Day 14 Task - Plan for Tomorrow.

Because tomorrow I am to officially start dieting. So the exericse of the day is to sit down and write down everything I plan to eat. Then tomorrow, I am to check things off the list as I eat them and write in any other things that I eat.

Most days I do actually plan out what I'm going to eat - I may enter it all into my Daily Plate calorie tracker, or I may just have it in my head, but I usually do plan. Except for Fridays. Fridays are the day when I usually give myself a little break. I still usually have a general idea, but I may plan to buy my lunch, for example, just to give myself a bit of a change. Funny how that timing worked out.

What does work out well though, is that tomorrow is supposed to be my first official weigh-in. Since Fridays were already my weigh-in day, that fits in nicely.
