Holding steady! Things are going well. The last couple days have involved the epitome of balance: not necessarily eating the best stuff in the world, and perhaps eating a bit more at a meal (like, last night we celebrated new homegrown peppers with some delicious, albeit cheese-laden burritos followed by a hefty bowl of ice cream), but countering it with more activity. Yesterday, I cleaned the house in preparation for a studio visit the curator from the museum where I am having my show next year -- and it was quite a workout! With four cats in the family we always have tons of cat hair floating around, so corralling that alone got my blood flowing.

Then, this morning, I was up bright and early tending to the garden. I did several transplants that required lots of digging and shoveling, and in the heat and humidity we've been having, I literally sweat through my clothes, probably buckets worth!

All very fun stuff, I must admit. The house looks great, the garden looks great, and I feel great.

Honestly, I can't say that I plan to eat clean all weekend, but I am doing it with both eyes open and looking forward to Monday, when I am totally going in full force -- I really want to get to 299 by the beginning of August! I will probably never be so obsessed about a number on the scale again, at least not until I am straddling 200, anyway. ;)

Hope everyone is doing well. There weren't all that many updates on my regular list of blog reading, hopefully that means that you are all out enjoying yourselves!
