BLACK TEAM WEEK 7

Like I said earlier, I don't count normal everyday stuff in my calories burned. I always swept, dusted, did dishes, laundry, etc- even when I was fat. But, I don't mow everyday and I must admit, I'm a little surprised that 1 hour and 20 minutes of yard work burned almost 500 calories. Some of if was just pulling weeds, so up and down stuff. The rest was pushing a mower (self propelled at that) and weed whacking. Not too shabby. I at least feel better at my pathetic attempt burning during a walk.

Oh yeah, that was just the front yard. Off to take care of the back since we have the soccer pool party here on Sunday. Kids might get lost in the long stuff over the drainage field!

Yea!! finally a challenge that I can do..

Hi all - actually got on the new horse today for the first time since I moved him - it felt great, all 5 minutes of it.. If I am good and careful, I may be able to work my way back up to 30 minutes sometime soon - as long as I don't tell my PT.

Seems like my back is starting to feel better, but very slow.

Lynnie - glad to see you are feeling better - hope the same is true for Owen.

Off to find a place to eat for 14th anniversary. Italian sounds good to me tonight..

BBL - Janie

Evening black team-

Phew seems like we are all having a busy week. Not much postage going on. No work out the last couple of days. I've just been feeling a bit off. Got to bed early last night instead of working out and felt much better today. Must have just needed the rest. But I got out and ran tonight and I am feelin good!
I'm very excited tonight because.....I....AM.....ON....VACATION!!!!!!! I will not set foot in a Bed Bath and Beyond until July 6th. Man that makes me happy. lol. Beth and I have a great day planned tommorow. The DW will be heading off to the shopping outlets in freeport to get some alone time and shop for some clothes. She definately deserves it! and I get some quality Daddy time with my boys. Then in the afternoon we are going Bike shopping. While I should be excited about bike shopping I am actually stressed. lol I can't deciede if I want a Hybrid or a Road Bike. If I buy a road bike I gotta spend some loot because if you buy a cheap one it's kind of a waste of money, but I am afraid that if I buy a hybrid I will love rideing get REALLY into it and wish I had bought a good road bike. UGH!!!! ARG!!! hopefully there will be some smart person at the local bike shop who will advise me. Anyway, Have a great evening everyone!

:flowerforyou:

Andrew I bought a hybrid and I absolutely love it. If you can afford, look for a Giant or a Trek. You won't regret.

Lynnie,

You speak my language when you said Trek. I am in LOVE with their bikes and will most likely be getting a trek. as for the whole road bike or hytbrid thing, I think I have settled on hybrid. I'll give it a year or two on the hybrid and if I love the cycling thing I will take a second job and buy a high end road bike. lol

:flowerforyou:

Okay-- totally serious here, but this is going to sound funny, I guess-- Andrew, truly, be careful with the bike. An old dude who lived across the street from us years ago got into bike riding, and found that it, uh, apparently created too much pressure on certain essentials, that ended up not working anymore.

He came over to tell DH about it, who was mortified-- my husband DOES NOT share private information with anyone, nor does he wish to have it shared with him-- but this man was telling him NOT to start bike riding if he, uh, wanted any more kids-- if you're gettin' my drift.

Just sayin' is all--

Hope everyone is having an awesome weekend..

Janie

Marla - start driving west & I'll drive east & then we'll meet in the middle on 80/90 somewhere & I can give you a big, fat hug! *BIGHUGS* I'm sorry, my dear. That is frustrating! Freakin' kids.

SOOOO on my way-- look for the crazy lady in the big blue van with the broken door handle, and broken window--

Marla's Refrigerating Cleaning Service is now closed for the day-- took me 90 minutes--

Heading back to type--

Well, my freezer mysteriously started defrosting like crazy--

We have some leak there anyway-- we think it's in the icemaker-- dunno--

As I'm coming down the homestretch, I notice a puddle in front of the freezer. I open up the door and the ice bin is running like a faucet, all over the food.

So I had to grab that and dump out all the ice, shut off the water line to the freezer-- blah, blah, blah :grumble:

Definitely not enjoying my day--

We'll see what happens with the freezer-- always something, eh? I, for one, have had my fill of all the bullsh!t-- pardon the language.
