24 hours.........The Orchid Diet

[dsm]

Coming down to the line... 24 hours..... have not cheated most of this month..... Even ate fresh fruit instead of pie yesterday..... have earned a small non-bloomer but will I qualify for that single blooming orchid? Or will I break down and go for the pint of Cookies & Cream or Double Dutch Fudge?..............


oh dear..........

Hang in there Denise, it's all about long lasting satisfaction with the orchids as opposed to immediate one with the Double Dutch Fudge. Just picture yourself fiddling with a blooming size orchid, looking up cultivation notes, visualize the blooms, the blooms! ...
You are doing great, keep being strong!

Remember, "A moment on the lips..a lifetime on the hips"..and "Orchids that were collected in the 1800s still exist at the botanic gardens in Kew."

TY all One thing that is sure going to help me stick to this diet is my new video project! I just finished the first episode of "The View.....From My Windowsill" and ......

I'll be activating my YouTube channel soon. I had to return the PC cable that came with the camera because it was the wrong size. I should have the replacement tomorrow.

ok.... I had to be honest with myself today and not buy the blooming orchid but go for a small half-grown Vanda. My first Vanda, the blue one. This was hard because the Big-Box store got itself a new shipment....

I did have a milkshake. Should have disqualified myself completely but I also had resisted Dove and Ghieradelli chocolate!

By the time this Vanda blooms I should be several sizes smaller!
