Instead of my 5k walk/run I spent 5 hours working in the yard. I took down a maple tree, about 8 inches in diameter and about 20 ft tall. I don’t have a chainsaw so it took a long time with my japanese garden saw and some big loppers. I left a pretty big stump [...]

5km in the POURING rain. Well, ok, only the last 2 km. I shouldn’t have roamed so far from home under that unfriendly sky. When it finally started, I had no chance. But the endorphins still worked! I didn’t run tonight but I still kept a fairly good pace.
Now I am going to watch Stacy [...]

I was feeling sad and lonesome yesterday and today, but yay to the power of exercise. Thank you endorphins. I just came back from 30 min walk/run and I feel happy again. Even though I felt very much out of sorts all day, I did NOT go for chocolate or anything super-sugary. Stuck to my [...]

I have decided that I am going to really pay attention to my activity level, and work more movement into my life. So today I walked to work, and then later this evening I took the dog to the track behind the closest high school. He ran, and so did I, for one round then [...]

I hurt. Even the tips of my fingers, so this will be a short note. Spent 8 hours yesterday and 7 hours today doing HEAVY gardening-type labour. Digging, hauling, planting, raking. Trimming the hedges. Then sweeping and tidying up. I am moving very very slowly.
But it looks so good. I put in 3 new borders, [...]

The universe must have known I needed a good day. If the scale is to be believed…I have lost 3 pounds this month. That is very acceptable. Double yay me!
I will be spending the weekend gardening. I have LOTS of plants to put in. When I finish it will be bee-yoo-ti-full!

Thanks for the kind words, y’all. I appreciate it very much.
Yay me. I walked 5.89 km tonight with a totally annoying dog. I don’t know WHAT got into him but he gave me a workout - lunging, trying to jump up on people….he was having a relapse to his bad old puppy days. I feel [...]

Feeling a little weepy and overwhelmed. Sorry. Day 10 since Loverboy ended things, admittedly with a big push from me. It was for the best, but each day has been a bit of a struggle. Ever read the book, “It’s Called a Breakup Because it is Broken?” Definitely has principles worth adopting when going through [...]

This weekend was all about family! Younger son’s university grad was on Sat, so my parents were visiting and we had a full weekend of festivities. Grad dinners, then of course Father’s Day brunch, and then my parents took some friends of theirs out for dinner and invited me along. (See the theme?) I did [...]

Yay me. Just completed a 54minute walk, covering 5.07 km ( a little over 3 miles, I think). So not so fast, but it feels good. (oh, evil mind, even as I type this I am thinking ‘I should have tred to kick it up to 6km an hour minimum). Can’t even let myself enjoy [...]
