Two days ago, after my husband and I finished cutting a customer’s lawn, I got a craving for a milkshake.  It’s been so many years since I’ve had one.  I couldn’t even think of a place in town that made them.  I went to this icee place and had to settle for a root beer ice cone.  I didn’t care for it.  It tasted wayyy too sweet.  Since I don’t care much for sugar, I wasn’t able to eat it.

We picked up another lawn customer this past week.  It’s a very large apartment complex.  It took us a little over 3 days to cut and trim the entire place.  I cut grass with my pushmower as well as the small rider the first day.  (even apt. complexes have hills down here) The second and third day, I was doing edging with an Echo SRM 230 string trimmer.  The first day I used the trimmer from 9:00 AM until 5:00 PM.  The second day I used the trimmer from 9:00 AM until 6:45 PM.  I didn’t take a lunch break and only stopped long enough to drink some water  while I was cutting the first day.  The second day it was much hotter so we did take an hour lunch break

In order to get slimmer and burn the excess calories you must do two important things: eat less low quality food and exercise to burn fat.
For many people going to the gym is a buxom daily routine and they enjoy to lift weights and exercise, but there are also people for whom exercising is hard, [...]

My husbands hard work is paying off in the garden.  We are finally getting vegetables we can eat.  This morning I decided to whip up this healthy dish before we head out to cut grass.  I have cooked up freshly diced green peppers, onions, garlic, celery (not from the garden), and baby portabella mushrooms.  I added a little sea salt and some fresh ground pepper.   It smelled so good while it was cooking, I had to taste it.  Yum!!  It’s great!! In another pan, I cooked up some fresh broccoli from the garden and plan on added it to my healthy concoction.  I plan on dishing this over jasmine rice (it’s my favorite).  I don’t know the calorie content of this recipe but it has to be very low.  What a bonus, low calories and good tasting.  That is such a winning combination. It’s still be real hot here.  My husband and I are still busy cutting grass.  We just picked up another new customer on Thursday.  It’s great because they live across the street from one of our regular customers.  It makes it nice when you can knock off a couple of lawns without having to drive any distance.  It seems we get most of our customers by referral.  Our customers are happy with our prices and our work.  I’ve been drinking plenty of water in this heat.  The good news is I’m down two more pounds.  My husband just finished fixing my push mower ( fuel line was clogged) so it’s time for us to hit the dusty trail. Hoping everyone has a great weekend!!  (We’re going to the weekly Saturday night auction tonight.)

 My little riding lawnmower is broken down.  As you can see, my husband has it totally taken apart.  All this for a darn $2.34 part.  The steering went out on it two weeks ago while  I was cutting a lawn.  Actually, what happened is the darn thing, it quit turning to the right.  All it would do is make a clicking noise when I turned the steering wheel.   Needless to say, finishing that lawn by only being able to turn left was tricky.  I was proud of myself though.  I was able to finish the job. My husband had me  ordered the two parts he thought it needed but neglected to order this little $2.00 piece.  So here we are…..waiting again for that little piece to come in so he can reassemble my mower.  I’ve been having to use my pushmower on yards I usually use my rider.  I’m afraid to use my husband’s lawnmower.  It’s a zero turn commercial Ferris and it goes so much faster than mine.   I can still remember when I was afraid to learn how to use the other riding mower.  I finally attempted it when I had a 3 acre yard to work in.  I figured I would have plenty of space to turn around.  I’ve finally graduated up to smaller and tighter areas.  I’ve been getting a lot more exercise using my push mower.  I don’t like the self-propelled type so it’s all “pushing.”  Anyone that has spent much time in Tennessee knows it’s hard to find a flat yard.  I’m up and down hills and gullies most of the time.  I know that is burning off more calories than sailing across a flat piece of ground.  I’m losing my weight slowly this time and hopefully will be able to KEEP it off

When people are starting their weight loss journey, they always sent themselves some type of goal.  Some set a goal to lose “X” amount of weight.  Some set more detailed goals to lose “X” amont of weight. To reach their weight loss goals, people use various diets, pills, and drinks combined with exercise. There are so many weight loss gimmicks out there, with more being presented every day.  It’s a real money maker for these companies. I’ve read a ton of books on weight loss and tried so many methods of weight loss.  I find I get discouraged.  When that happens, I gain back the weight I’ve lost.  I’ve been analyzing why this happen to me.  I’ve decided it is because of the way I measure success !!  I always set myself up for failure….thus leading to my weight gain.
