Well I have been exercising and dieting (hate that word!) for a full week now, and things are going pretty good. I’m averaging walking 4 miles a day, and my clothes are fitting looser. The exercise is getting better. How does exercise get better? I am able to walk further faster and the short jogging stints are getting longer. I was even able to use the truck to pull myself up like getting on a horse. I really can tell a huge difference in just the week I’ve been walking.
Took the pups out this afternoon – went to a couple different boat landings on the river, and they came home exhausted. I’m pretty tuckered out myself. Almost no sleep last night because Robbie has the flu. Didn’t know what it was then, I just worried he would be in trouble at work.
I was hoping I could start riding my bike some over the next couple weeks, but dang!! February just returned with a vengeance. It is supposed to get down to 29 tonight, 32 tomorrow night, and rain almost every day. And I’ve been acting like it is already summer.
Wayne and Sandra came today – Wayne was checking out my tractor to give me a quote on fixing it right. They stayed a couple hours, and it was cool in the breeze even then. He didn’t seem to think it is a lost cause… maybe I can afford to get it fixed “functional.” I wasn’t sure they would make it especially since I told them Robbie is sick. But they came anyway. Hopefully the tractor can be ‘right’ this summer.
