Only 30 minutes of gardening today......feeling kinda low today....maybe as a result of doing so much yesterday. Who knows! I'm really looking forward to a sunny day tomorrow, as it has been cloudy and rain for a few days now. Glad you're so much better, Sue! And that your strength training session with a personal trainer…

Well, I'm back from Zumba and just read your suggestion, Sue, about logging time accurately and adjusting the calories burned. I like that idea! Then all I have to do is check my exercise log for minutes/hours done for the week. Today, it was raining most of the day, so decided it was the perfect day to put in some extra…

Well, Warrior Women, life does throw those challenges in our paths, but I'm glad that we are figuring out what we need to do to stick to it! Ooops, time for Zumba class! Which, btw, I've prelogged so I HAVE to get there on time! Take care of yourselves everyone, first and foremost and the weight loss will come! It's all…

Alrighty now.....I think I need to figure out how to keep track of my hours. My exercise log is not accurate, since I often log my workouts for less time than I actually complete.....MFP seems to be a bit too generous with calories burned for some categories, especially Zumba! Today I am logging 60 minutes for gardening.…

Okay, okay.....I'm in, but only because I love you! Hopefully I'll fraught naught! Sue, enjoy the cooler weather and the Farmers' Market! And 'WithGod.....have a great day! So far, an hour and 20 minutes gardening yesterday and 60 minutes of Zumba today! Since it's raining pretty hard in Maine today, no gardening for me.…

I grow my asparagus in a raised bed that I filled with compost and every year I add more compost. Last fall I added composted horse manure and bedding and then covered with leaves for the first time. It gave the bed a neat and tidy look.....lol!

I'm also in zone 4 and have just set out lots of onion seedlings that I started inside and have been hardening off. I'm experimenting with potatoes and recently planted several rows on top of cardboard, compost and hay, then covered with hay which I'll add to as the potatoes grow. I'm a little concerned about slugs and…

That can be a difficult cycle to break out of, and my suggestion would be to simply start moving a little bit more. And if you haven't had a medical checkup in awhile, maybe see your doctor. Before I joined MFP, I had some blood work done and my vitamin B12 was on the very low side of normal (I'm not a big red meat eater).…

I don't wear an HRM, but I always log less time for Zumba than I actually do. MFP burn seems way too high, and I'm working hard and drenched at the end of an hour class! ETA: MFP calculates that I burn 648 calories for 60 minutes

Trimming my toenails is no longer an aerobic workout!! :wink:

Odusgolp.....is that what I think it is? Good lord! :noway: :noway: ETA: No, no, I did that wrong! I mean your profile pic! :laugh: :laugh:

Wow! Are these really tears welling up in my eyes? Nice going! I love it when we can get to this meeting of the hearts! :heart:

OH, you are right!! I forgot about this stuff!

This ^^^^^^ hands down!! :sick: And I really like Moxie!! :wink: However, I haven't had soda in a long time! If I were going to, I'd probably have a really good ginger beer, like Reed's! My favorite substitute for soda is kombucha! :drinker:

I was laughing like crazy at this gif, until I quoted it and saw that it is a "crazy-brazilian-murderer-interview"! Somehow that kinda tamped down the amusement factor! :ohwell: ETA: But only for a moment! :laugh: :laugh:

I love seeing what everybody is planting! And learning the different methods used. I wouldn't have thought about planting berry bushes in buckets! And I've heard of the wall of water season extenders but wouldn't have thought they could protect in weather cold enough to freeze them solid! I buy my seeds and garden supplies…
