I've gotten my exercise....

..for the MONTH.

Good lord, I'm exhausted. This afternoon we mowed our lawn. I should've taken pictures. The weeds (Yes, we have no grass) were about a foot tall. It took 4 of us (myself and my husband, my sister and her husband) to get our football field sized lawn down. My brother in law had to go ahead of whoever was mowing at the time and weed wack first. Yeesh. It was the first time I'd ever mowed!

I'm going to fall over and pass out now.

James is still out there finishing up, even with the light rain. He's a trooper when he puts his mind to it.

Between that and the digestive troubles I've had since last night, I should lose a few lbs... EVEN with indulging today.

Goodness me! That does sound like a massive workout! For your weight, 30 minutes of mowing the lawn burns about 324 calories - thats more than a slice cheesecake that I ate last night! Phwoar! It'll be a crime if that isn't rewarded at your next weigh in.

[btw, I calculated the calorie burn using this calculator]

That's hardcore, sounds like real work. And I'll bet it was probably kind of fun with everyone helping.

You wouldn't catch me doing any sort of physical activity amidst green growing stuff. I have an aversion to bugs :)

yard work. One of the best forms of exercise.
