Michele, the jog around the lakes sounds good to me, although is it going to be humid? Doing anything active in humidity is draining to me. Swimming is a good option or even running in the pool if you can't swim laps. I thought I read that libraries are really popular during the recession--free movies, books, magazines (I gave up subscriptions long ago). What could be better! I loved working in my elementary school library when I was a kid.
Marie, intervals are fun, IMHO, either running or walking or, one of my favorites, pool running. Really wish I could find a pool running class here. I don't know about reading playing into weight problems. I read a lot, but also walked to and from school, rode my bike to friends' houses, played kick-the-can every Friday during summer, played softball and basketball on school teams, and walked to the library (most of the time). I'm betting I got more exercise than many kids today who don't read. My issue was binge eating.
Allison, kudos for sticking with your plan.
Dagmar, I prefer "paper" books, too, and especially paperbacks. Sounds silly, but my arms really start to hurt after holding a hardback book for any length of time. Must be the position I am in to read.
Iris, so what did you end up eating? Whatever it was, hope it was yummy.
Our townhome is set to close next week. Turns out there was water in the crawl space so we asked the seller to pay for a fancy system that keeps water out and has an alarm if the sump pump quits working. They balked, but we said no deal if it wasn't done--water is something we just don't want to deal with. So my son's GF is set to move in July 2 so we have a couple of weeks to do a few things like remove paneling, paint, change some light fixtures and, my personal favorite, trim back the rose bushes or, better yet, remove them.
Have a great Thursday everyone!
