Yardwork = Workout :)

elmoYesterday was the day buddys :)

Moms yard was a mess.  Grass hasn’t been cut for the season, the leaves were piled high, wet, heavy and all raked under the trees.  What a mess……this would be a challenge to say the least.  But Alan and I were up to it.  We went out armed with rakes, bags for the wet leaves, gardening gloves and determination to get the job done :)  Hey it would be a win win situation, Mom would be happy because her yard looked good and we would FINALLY get some physical exercise   YIPPEE  LOL!!!!!

Not quite an hour later I could feel the burn…LOL!!! my back, my legs… Ooooohhhhhh what a workout!!

We stopped because of the heat.  figured a little at a time was better then overdoing it.  Alan stayed and worked harder (he’s much more in shape then me).

So I’m proud to say I am getting some exercise…..walking will be our workout today.  At the end of the street is a beautiful lake (private) and we enjoy that short walk.  I look forward to that when we come here on vacation.  I think of Tatiana as I write about walking.  So good for the heart…so good for the mind.

On that happy note….I hope everyone is able to get some type of physical activity in today.  Loveyou all so much.  Stay strong, stay focused, remember one day at a time!!!!!
