Sorry to say I jumped/fell off the wagon last night...nobody pushed me and no particular reason, other than I was alone and could do as I wished. It was a long tough week, I was tired, I'd been good and needed a break, whatever...those are just excuses and I'm responsible for what goes in my mouth. My calorie count for yesterday was way over my RDI with too much carbs and fats. If there's a bright side to it I did resist the temptation to go out and get a tub of ice cream that I wanted badly. Thank goodness I fell asleep early, that put an end to it. So this morning I'm back up to 230, I guess not too bad. Today I'm back in control with just a protein shake for breakfast, maybe one mid-day and then a light dinner. I should be able to get the gain off quickly. Getting ready to go trim some limbs and bushes around the property so that'll burn some calories too.
The squirrels have pushed me past the limit, I've tried to co-exist with them peacefully. There's just no way I can get much out of my garden or peach trees with the current situation. Every decent tomato in the garden has teeth marks in them and get eaten as they begin to ripen. If they'd stick with the cherry tomatoes I could deal with that. There's 3 peaches left on the tree, not ripe yet, because they've gotten all the rest. Repellent sprays don't work, I've tried, I've even tried running out into the yard yelling like a madman and banging on the trees they run up. I wonder what the neighbors think about that. It didn't used to be this bad but starting 3 years ago we've had a population explosion and now the squirrels are everywhere and get into everything. So I just ordered a pellet rifle, scope, and some ammo online. Sorry if that offends anyone but I really have tried. At least I'll eat the ones that are killed so they won't go to waste.
Out now to work and sweat off what I packed into my mouth last night. Hope everyone has a great day.

If I were the last thing between my neighbor and the last remaining food I hope I would be gracious enough to share it with him, no killing necessary from either of us. You certainly have the right to your opinion of hunting and those who do it. Just as others also have the right to theirs. Truthfully I hope you have a good day.

I had a big problem with squirrels. They eventually got into my attic.
The ultimate solution was trapping them, and drowning them in the pool. I also bought a premium German air rifle and harvested 40-45 squirrels per year for 3 years.
Today I rarely see a squirrel in the back yard.
Good luck !

I used to go nuts whenever the neighbors cows would break into the fruit trees despite the fences. It was crazy... MY cows wouldn't do that.. maybe they were afraid of me after seeing me shoot a ... predator... carrying away a chicken. Okay, I won't define the predator because it went something like this... conversation at Walmart.. I was trying to buy a shot gun to deal with the chicken hawks and owls and the clerk goes 'It's against the law to shoot chicken hawks and owls in Texas, Ma'am' so I finally said 'Snakes?' and he said 'that's legal' and I said 'I need a gun to shoot snakes that fly about 20feet up into the air...' and he said 'this is what you need.' Anyway, MY cows never got my fruit trees but the neighbor's cows did. I made him come help me build a better fence ... when I told him I was going to go out and buy a dozen deep freezers for his herds. But squirrels.. I have no idea. Maybe bagging a couple and tossing their pelts on the fence would leave a message ... like 'there's a bounty on your head ..' We sadly had to do that with people who kept dropping their unwanted cats & dogs at our landline... only 'we' didn't kill them, our dogs, the ones who we had to protect our calves from coyotes, would. So one day, going out to bury victim #??? I thought 'hmmm... I need to send a message'. It worked.

OH .. and .. sorry .. one fall off the wagon does not a journey ruin. Climb back on and as suggested above, have a plan for the next slip. You're doing great... this won't derail you unless you allow it.
