Hi All,
Yesterday I ended up working most of the day (I had planned to work a few hours and then finish cleaning, but there were too many emails to answer)
and
I did Country Heat: Country Swing peppered throughout the day to help get in my 250 Fitbit steps every hour.
Then I was planning to do another Country Heat w/o in the evening but my neighbor texted and asked if I wanted to take a walk with her (kind of funny that she never really walked until she saw me doing it, and now she's inviting me to walk and sometimes going on her own
).
So we walked for 30 mins. Then when we got back her 13 yr old son said that he had wanted to walk with us but my neighbor left without him (she didn't realize that he wanted to walk too), so she told him they could walk to the top of our subdivision and back (which is a mile) and asked me to join them. I overate yesterday, so I was willing to walk an extra mile.
So that added about 20 more minutes to our walking time. I made it to almost 14,000 (13,924) steps for the day!
Today I had a dentist appt in the morning and then I ran a bunch of errands, so by the time I got home I was tired. I did manage to do
Country Heat: Down and Dirty and most of Bring the Heat tonight to make it to 10,000 steps before midnight.
SB - Thanks for getting us started with the new thread for the summer months. Glad to read that you had fun at the bbq, and that it sounds like the weather cooperated. Great job with your walks. I few years back I did container planting on my balcony with cherry tomatoes, so yes, tomatoes can grow in pots! Come to think of it, maybe I should consider doing that again, since I usually eat lot of salads during the summer months.
Penguin - Wow, you're getting a lot done! Spreading 17 bags of mulch?; that's impressive! You are totally right, I need to go ahead and get it done. I have just felt so uninspired to be out in the yard in the evening.
