7 miles destroyed!

WooHOO! Here's hoping I can walk tomorrow! lol

100 - 7 = 93 miles to go!

Starting Fresh

Well hello there! lol Long time no type to! Been busy and haven't stopped to blog. Now that life is slowing a bit- I stress a bit!- I would like to set some goals for myself. If I have something to aim for it seems to help me. That is the way I work best....that's just the way I roll! So here it goes. I want to log 100 miles by July 17th....=O That's a lot of road beneath my feet! As before, I'll count a mile as a mile and 20 minutes of other cardio as a mile.

You may ask why the sudden the challenge to myself. Well, I've been trying to get back in the same groove as I was in the at the end of last year. Been hard to do. Furthermore, I was at a birthday party recently and saw someone I knew from out west....she said that she had just had blood work done and they were telling her she was pre-diabetic! EEK! She is only about 2 years older than me and we're about the same size. That didn't make me a happy camper...for her or me! It's time to take care of the body that Jesus gave us while we're here on this earth.

I'll try to log my progress each night.

Peace Out!!

Food Galore!

Yesterday was Mother's Day and we had picnic that seemed to involve every fattening food know to man! lol Hotdogs, cheese burgers, mac n cheese, baked beans, chips, queso, potato salad, and jalapeno poppers. Then...there was dessert! Yikes! Red velvet cupcakes, carrot cake, eclair pudding cake and a strawberry cake. I'm trying not to dwell on what I consumed yesterday....trying!

But! on the upside I walked 4 miles yesterday! Thank you, thank you. Please, please hold all applause! lol

I'm hoping to log some serious miles in the next few weeks....it will take that long to burn what I ate! EEK!

Shiver Me Shingles!

Well, we did it....bought the shingles (and other materials) for our soon-to-be new roof. Just need a couple of more items and then watch the weather for a break in the rain. Can't wait! Just in the nick of time too...there is a leak in the roof somewhere over the kitchen. Water not coming in the house but we can tell that its getting wet up there anytime we have a large volume of rain.

You'd be proud! I exercised last night on my stair stepper and then lifted a few weights....gotta get moving more. I can tell the difference since I've been off the wagon. Don't like the feeling either! Dying to get out and play some tennis! HINT, HINT!!! lol That's ok, I'm sure no one is reading this anyway! LOL!

Hoping next week I'll be able to get a few extra things done. M is having minor ear surgery and will be out of commission for a couple of days when it comes to school. I am renewing my goal of exercising every day and will be posting mileage like before....mostly for my own pleasure!

Spring!

Ah, sweet Spring! You are here! Please stay! Been enjoying this awesome weather. Took advantage yesterday with some more planting. I know have watermelon, roma tomatoes, brandywine tomatoes, sweet cherry tomatoes, jalapenos, wax beans, oregano, basil, rosemary, thyme, and cilantro planted! lol I still have chocolate tomatoes, green beans, red bell pepper and anaheim chilies to plant. Hoping for a great garden this year.

Update of floors- we're on the move around here these days. Carpet padding has been replaced, carpet relayed and professionally cleans. Actually looks pretty good! Go figure. And yes, its smells much better too! lol

Hardwood has been ripped out and we're waiting for a free moment to relay the hardwood which is now acclimating in my living room. I'm starting to finally feel like I'm recovering from all the mess, but can't wait until its all finished.

Back deck is done! WooHoo! Great job Hubby! It now just needs to be sealed. Check that baby off the list! =D

What's been happening in your world?

Ahh....the Sweet Life of Chaos

Yup! I'm lovin' this chaos- NOT! I didn't really think the chaos could get worse- boy was I wrong. Insurance company sent out another company to try to dry out the wood and carpet. Carpet was smelling like a wet dog but smelt much better after they cleaned in...notice I said "smelt"? Yup! Wet dog smell back! Grrr! Will be speaking with said insurance company first thing in the AM regarding the canine stench! Anywho, after inspection they agreed (well duh!) that the wood floor was ruined. After reporting back to the insurance they approved for the wood to be immediately torn up. T kind of snickered to himself...when he installed it he glued it down and he used really good glue. It was rather humorous to see the man attempt to pull it up and then quickly decided he was going to need some heavy duty tools to make it happen. Fine by T- since he won't be compensated for his time to pull up then might as well let them do it and the insurance pay for it. =) So the man will be back in the AM with help (he, he) to remove the wood. In comes more CHAOS! lol

Really, I'm ok with it. The end results will actually help us a lot in our goals for the house. =D It's just a matter with putting up with the mess a bit more. With that being said.....

Hope your Thursday is more serene than mine will be!

PEACE!

Juggling Projects.

Well, here we are and we're still standing! Today was a good day. T worked on the deck trying to get as much completed as possible before any thunderstorms moved in. I worked in the garden preparing soil and planting seeds in pots.

Didn't get another coat on cabinets...T was tired and I don't blame him- I was too!

Claim in process for floors so cross your fingers that that goes smoothly. Carpet is pulled back, part of padding removed and fans are blowing. Thank goodness it was 80 today! My cozy (a nice way to say it's stinkin' small!) home that was being spring cleaned and organized is now once again in chaos...I'm thinking I might as well stay in this realm instead of fighting it!

I hope we can finish a few of these projects before starting something else...I'm having a hard time deciding which one to work on! ha,ha.

Still waiting on taxes...the suspense is killing me!

Hope your Tuesday is kind to you!
