Good afternoon! I have been busy buying flowers to plant!! I planted a bunch yesterday but ran out! So I went shopping again!! I need to stop! Lol
Hey what can I say it keeps me busy and is very rewarding.
It is like summer here. We hit 89.9 yesterday and today the same. Having to walk when it's a bit cooler so I don't pass out!
Everyone have a good day!!
Ps KF that cake will do it every time! Lol

so I had a little mid week weigh in and I have lost another pound! the diet isn't going great at the moment because we have had a lot of guests staying with us, but working out has stepped up a gear, I am running with sprint intervals 5k 3 times a week, weights twice a week and aerobics once a week. Starting in two weeks we are also going to add a long sunday walk in to our routine to get us ready.

I know this might sound a little intense, but at 5'7" being over weight really shows, and my kidney illness makes me really bloated so I need to lose water weight.

plus with a disney trip and a wedding, and maybe another wdw trip, with in the next year I have a lot to get fit for.

any way.... 24lbs and 22 weeks to go

Remember, cast members walk just as much as the guests each day at work. Plus most of us go up and down stairs all day as well.

See you get a workout at work so you don't need to do any more. Smile I wish I could stay moving that much each day. I stay pretty busy, but nothing beats walking at WDW.
I always feel great after visiting WDW cause my legs get in great shape! biggrin

King Fergus

In addition to my walking, I have been on my feet for two days cleaning out closets! Whew! I need a Disney vacation!!Smile
My vegetable garden is doing good so the rain helped. Cannot wait for fresh veggies!
Dinner tonight is spring rolls with lots of veggies inside with shrimp.
Will be working on the kitchen again this weekend.
Take care everyone and have a great weekend! Keep moving!!

Good morning all!! Hope you all are getting more active. The weather is starting to warm up and that sun just makes you want to get out and move!!Smile Sorry... I had a good night sleep and the sun is making me wanna dance! Smile clapping
Been working in my garden this week. Planted some more lettuce, green beans, and corn. The rest of my garden is doing well. It is a very small one. Just enough to eat out of for the summer.
I found little raccoon paw prints on my deck yesterday! I guess Meeko has come to visit! Smile He better not get in my garden.
Walking today. Have errands to run so busy day!
Dinner is whole wheat wraps with grilled veggies. May heat up a sweet potato in the microwave to go with it!
Everyone have a super day!!Smile

Thanks King Fergus, I enjoy yours too.

Good afternoon!! Today has been a very busy day! I started taping and mudding some of the new drywall in my kitchen. I do not especially like mudding but it has to be done in order to paint. I am doing a bit at a time. It takes me forever!
Walking is usually in the evening now that it is warm. Dinner is going to be a new recipe-crunchy Vietnamese chicken salad.

Tomorrow starts the holiday weekend! yay We are going to see my nephew play in the 4th round of high school baseball playoffs! He is doing really well his senior year.
Saturday and Monday will be working in this kitchen. Hoping to finish up the flooring!
Sunday is play day-going to the zoo. It is supposed to be a nice, warm weekend!Smile

Hope you have a nice long and relaxing weekend! Talk next week. wink

Also, we are talking about going back to the World in Dec for my bday!!! Keep your fingers crossed! Smile
Today is walking and weights day. Dinner is whole wheat pita pizzas with marinara and veggies.
Everyone keep safe, happy, and moving!!Smile
