Got lots of exercise yesterday, a bit stiff and sore today. The dogs got sprayed by a skunk and washing thme both is a real workout. Thankfully it was warm out.

Hoping for a better weigh in...I think I do have to go back to recording my food.

I didn't complete everything I had planned but I do tend to be a bit to optimistic in my planning. But I got a lot of stuff done.

The front and side yard look great, everything is cleaned, weeded, fertilized and trimmed. The perenials were just peeking out of the ground when I started at the beginning of the week and now some of them are over a foot high. I think I can see them growing. We are up to almost 16 hours of sunlight and I think that is the main reason why they are growing so fast.

The dogs have been loving the regular walks. Barking at nothing is down by 60%.

All of the shopping is done and hopefully I won't have to do anything but groceries for a few months.

House is not perfectly clean but is in good shape.

Didn't cook up as much as I hoped but I have enough frozen meals for a few weeks.

Going to tackle the garage today..might not get it completed but hopefully get a good start on it.

I have been taking my blood pressure on a regular basis, my doctor told me if it was normal for three consectutive days he would decrease my blood pressure meds. Unfortunately it was still high every day. I thought with the weight I have lost and the exercise I have been getting would lower it, especially since I haven't been stressed over work but no such luck. The medication makes me tired and I would love to get off of it but not quite yet.

Time to go for the morning walk, Baby Girl is giving me the look. She lets out these little woofs, they are not allowed to bark in the house, and soon as I look at her she runs to the door and then looks back at me. Its like she is saying "lets go". She is getting me trained.

08 May 2013

Haven't managed to complete everything I planned but I am moving and doing for four to five hours a day...a big change from sitting on my ass most of the day. Slowly but surely I'm crossing things off of my to do list.

Front and side yard are done and I have seven large garbage bags full of trimming to go to the compost at the dump. My compost is to small to break down branches.

I haven't been tracking my food, I find sometimes that makes me obsess over food. I'll see how I do at the end of the week. Those uncontrollable cravings have gone. I knew that they were related to the work stress and with that gone I feel comfortable eating reasonable portions. But quitting my job is not an option right now.

Today I'm going to tackle the windows and if I have time start on the garage.

Weather is staying good, yesterday a cold front came through and cooled things down which was nice. Monday was bit too hot and I find it easier to work in cooler temperature.

Didn't get everything done yesterday that I planned but made a good start at the front yard, about another hour of work to finish it. Today is the Costco run and I was hoping to get the front yard finished but we are suppose to have a record breaking high temperature today, 27C. Might be to hot to work in the front yard in the afternoon but there is plenty of other things I can be doing.

Knees are good today, maybe I can push harder and do more.

Spring here is so weird, just a couple of weeks ago we had heavy snows and now we are into summer type temperatures and a real problem with grass fires.

The grass has greeend up, the buds on my shrubs are swelling and my early perennials have sprouted. Still have to wait for the first full moon after the May long weekend to plant annuals or tomatos or herbs.

Off to take the dogs for a walk and then go and do more shopping and my eye appointment. Stepped on my glasses last week and now they are being held together with crazy glue so its time to get some new ones.

Big deep sigh....weight is up again. I'm still struggling, one step forward and two steps back.

I have the week off and many plans to get the yard and garage cleaned up. Hopefully the added excercise and being away from the stress of work will get things back under control. I'll see at the end of the week.

Yesterday was a busy busy day. A five hour shopping marathon, I hate shopping but needed to get so many things. Then back home and couple of hours of trimming the hedges. I was tired at the end of it all but no back or knee pain. Didn't sleep well at all though, I thought I would be tired enough to sleep through the night but woke up many time and finally got up at 5:30

Today going to finish the hedges and clean up the front yard. Tommorrow its the Cosco run and clean up the side yard and layout the soaker hoses. Tuesday is fertilizing all of my pernenials and wash all the windows. Wednesday is cleaning up the garage and getting the compost seperated. I do worm composting and its a long slow process seperating the worms from their poop. Thursday is cleaning up the house. Also everyday I'm aiming for two walks with the dogs and cooking up on big batch of good food that I can freeze. If all goes according to plan I can take Friday off and relax. I'm hoping that the knees and back will be able to take all this extra stress.

The weather is suppose to be great for the whole week, temps in the high teen to mid twenties and sunny every day.
