Broken Lawnmower Leads to More Exercise

Thursday, July 2, 2009 9:27 Comments Off

 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

Weight Loss Stall This Week

Friday, April 17, 2009 22:02 Comments Off

This past week I’ve been busier than a bee.  I’ve been working too many hours at the various places I volunteer.  I haven’t had a free day this week and I am working tomorrow as well at the thrift store which is part of our local mission.  I got a phone call Thursday night and I start training next Wednesday for 5 days to work on the 2010 census.  That’s going to be about 11 hour days by the time I drive there and back home.   The bad thing is, I’ve been helping others so much….I’ve been neglecting myself.  That paper and pencil I put on this page…..well……that is just what my daily journal looks like for the past week.  Hurry here…hurry there….grab a quick bite of crap food and off to another job.  I was only able to help my husband with the grass service one day this past week.
