Working up a sweat while dropping weight
We just stopped home after completing our second lawn cutting today. I've gotten over 12,000 steps in already. Hubby has decided to eat lunch now. I'm just having my glass of ice tea. I'm not hungry. Eating just to be eating.....I'm trying to get away from that. I'm still pretty upbeat about the weight loss I recorded yesterday. I like these kind of days when I can stay on track.
It's getting hot. I'll be sweating while cutting those bushes today.
Our third job today is cutting down these huge bushes (about 7/8 ft tall) along with the darn trees that have grown inbetween them. I'm not looking forward to this job. This should be great for the muscle building though. I am keeping that in mind.
I can't wait to enter my hours worked on ability.org. That site shows amount of calories burned for different types of activities.
Yikes, husband is done eating and ready to hit the road. I've got my pedometer, my ice tea and my purse...off I go. (Can't go anywhere without my purse.)

I am so happy for you.
That's great news.
Careful my dear. I've learned the hard way that you should be eating thru out the day to keep your metabolism up up up. It seems that if we eat less and just drink at lunch that we're better off, but oh ho ho! Our bodies are sneaky little machines. Where with my car I can fill it once and let it coast all week... not so with my body.
Remember that babies have to be fed all the time at predictable intervals? Kids and adults need that too. A small simple meal of just a portion size of protien and a portion size of carb and add in a veggie and its vvvvrrrrooooommm on the metabolism.
Its the saddest irony about health and weight loss. We need to eat little meals all day to lose weight.
I applaud your EXERTION with the MOWER. In this heat, you are a new version of superhero. I mean, you seem like a mom and wife by day, but behind a mower you are trailblazing, sweat producing athlete saving one yard at a time!!! Keep it up! You go girl!!
