My husband came down to my office this afternoon and mowed the grass in the front yard with the riding lawn mower and he also edged the sidewalks and used the blower.  He loves all that stuff.  At my request he did not touch the back yard.  That’s mine.

At about 5:30 this evening, I went outside.  I used the trimmer along the fence and along the building - then fired up the push mower.  I never stopped for a drink or a rest - and I finished the drainage ditch in the back all by myself.   When I came inside, I was wringing wet with sweat, both my legs ached, and my left hand was numb, but hotdamn I felt great!  The first time I mowed that stupid ditch I didn’t even do the whole thing and I thought I was gonna die - today I was so happy that I was able to finish the whole thing myself!  Of course the fact that it’s no longer 98 degrees out there, that helped a lot. 

So.  That was my workout for today.  =D

I’m still doing the bouncy-thing on the scale.  This morning I woke up to a .6 lb gain.  It’s been 10 days now since I hurt my knee and I’ve been basically stalled ever since.  I just keep losing the same pound over and over again.  S’okay though.  I’ll eventually break through.
