Thankfully for the past few weeks I haven't had to mow because the weather is changing and it's becoming more dry. As I've mentioned before, I completely despise mowing (read here). It isn't relaxing to me in the least. The dust stuffs up my nose and during the summer it's so hot that I feel like I'm only one step away from a heat stroke (and that's at eight o'clock at night). Weed eating isn't any better in my opinion. It makes your back ache, especially in the ditch next to my house. Ok, ok, I'll stop my complaining. Doing all of this work isn't for nothing. The edging around the sidewalks and driveway look awesome. Also, I won't complain about how keeping my grass short helps keep unwanted creatures out.
Here's my point. I hate losing weight (at least the hard work required). I don't like counting the calories or not getting to eat what I want. I don't like to have to tell people why I'm not eating what they are eating. I don't like the exercise each day. I would rather eat whatever I want and be lazy watching movies or goofing off. I've sort of been doing that for a while. Eating junk and being lazy. We all know where that got me. So I'm doing the work. I've made the changes (and these aren't just temporary changes, but for life). I'm "mowing, trimming, and edging" my habits and my body. I know that all of my hard work will pay off in the end. So when I look at my yard in the morning, and the sun glistens off of the dew, I'll be encouraged to keep on losing my butter half.
Calorie intake was normal today. Bekah made another great chicken meal out of our leftover orzo tonight. I got tons of exercise today between mowing and riding the bike. Another day in the books. Here is my tracker.
