exercise

on an electric mower
is a real workout.

I found out that the walk to the lighthouse and back from the edge of field 5 is only one mile round trip.

So not the best exercise in the world, but better than nothing.

Which is good, because I’ve been pretty awful about the eating part of things!

Sometimes, my exercise is light, like weeding, and sometimes it’s slightly heavier, like mopping the floors. Best is when I go on the treadmill, although that only happens about two times a week due to time constraints. However, the important thing is that I am exercising every day (for the past 2 weeks), and I intend to keep it up. I feel good!

Hooray, me!

heavy duty exercise was accomplished.
I want to keep it up!

I got the best workout this weekend from sweeping the deck and picking up all the branches and twigs that had come down from the storm!

...provide you with fantastic exercise.

Between having to swing the cord away from the area you are working on constantly, and pushing harder than you would need to with a gas powered lawn mower, you get quite a workout by the time you’ve done the front and back lawns.

On Saturday, Frogette and I took a long walk on the beach. Great exercise.
On Sunday, I scrubbed the bathroom, kitchen, and swept all the floors. Great exercise.
On Sunday night, J and I went walking. Great exercise.

J and I started our walking dates this evening.
I went to her house at 7:00, when it was still light out, but much cooler, and we tackled some of the hills nearby. We had so much to say to each other that we barely noticed the exertion most of the time. Walking and talking- my favorite thing.

I can’t believe the amount of weeding, sweeping, and mowing I did this weekend. I had to take two showers on Saturday and two showers on Sunday from all the sweating! :)

J and I made plans at the bbq today to start walking together on the weekends. She’s in great shape, so I hope I can keep up!
