4/21 Hot and What Not Weekly thread

[AlexWyattMommy]

I like your new plan.
I feel like I've been obsessing over my food these past few weeks. I certainly don't want to live the rest of my life like that. So, no more calorie counting. I don't plan on eating junk food instead, but I'm not to fret about the pretzel snacks I've been having.
I will however need to step up my exercising. If I can get myself to do it for the 30 days it takes to instill a habit, I think it is something I can continue to always do.
They just disced the field last night and it rained after that, so no walking my property today. I'm just going to have brave the road today. My legs are feeling pretty good, so I don't think I'll hurt my shin splints walking on the pavement occasionally. Need to take my pedometer to see how far I need to go to do one mile.

The people who rent our land to farm on are so sweet. They left me a 16 inch path around the property to walk on. They disced up part that they usually leave alone and flattened it out for me. I just need to pat down the dirt, which will happen the more I walk on it.

I did two miles on the road this morning, my mile up and down the driveway and another mile around the property. 4 miles today and it doesn't hurt, yet.

well that was sweet. I wish I could walk the field behind my house but the ticks are awful! And the neighbors hay it so the grass gets really tall too.

Pony tail, hat, long sleeves & pants. It gets a little hot, but it helps find the ticks.

You all started talking about ticks.. and this is the first thing that popped into my head...
Brad Paisleys song...

check you for ticks

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

That song cracks me up.

It was a slow day today. Only a mile and half of walking. We went shopping and I had to clean house. The shopping was fun, the cleaning, not so much.

WE had soccer... and the kids took control of the tv because gosh forbid we miss one second of the NFL draft.. that it takes these MEN.. 30 minutes to decide on which player they want.. good gravy.. you should already know what positions you need filled!!!

I'm so glad my main man doesn't get into that stuff, so the boys won't either.
