I am sitting in the office wondering where the month has gone. Seriously. I spent the weekend running around with my favorite niece and nephew (OK, I only have one of each) and suddenly it occurred to me that a week from today is Memorial Day.......I get to wear white again!
I am truly working the weight watchers program. I struggled this spring when my dad passed away. I knew I needed to do something but just could not get out of my own way. Not that I have come to terms with him gone.......I miss him every day BUT I am getting to honor him in various ways. First and foremost is taking care of me. Dad and I used to LOVE to garden together. Since living in a townhouse I can't put plants in the ground, pots are the next best thing! I will post pictures of all my planting from the weekend. I did various herbs (rosemary, basil, thyme, sage, oregano and chives) and some new veggies (brussel sprouts, lettuce, 2 kinds of tomatoes, 2 kinds of peppers and bush beans).
I am taking my love of food and my love of cooking and making it work for me. Let's get healthy and not use pesticides. Eat clean. Exercise more. Lose weight and get healthy. New goal....10k steps per day. Although that has gotten a bit easier I plan to make my steps target a bit farther. Can't stand still and expect results!!
On the exercise side, I was moving til I could not anymore. I did the 5K sponsored by WW. It was a kick.....at 1pm on Sunday afternoon. Isn't that the hottest time of the day? I guess that is one way to get the fat off......burn it!! Once I got home from that (hot, sweaty, and maybe a little cranky) I planted. And I planted. I used almost 4 cu ft of potting soil. That is a lot of soil and on top of it IT IS HEAVY! Strength training for free! I still had to find the energy to walk my poor sassy girl who wanted to play outside with mom but she likes to eat the dirt. Can't do that ........I was dirty enough for both of us. We did manage to wander through the neighborhood before I wanted to collapse on the couch.
So to answer my question....I have no idea where May has gone. I have a big summer planned. There are concert galore, friends visiting, maybe even the family reunion. Lots going on but staying on track with my weight loss journey. It will be fun!!
Till next time......
