Sorry race fans, I have been out of pocket with no updates
for the last week. I started a new diet
and workout schedule. It is starting to
pay off and I can tell the difference in how I feel and the new numbers on the
scale. My diet has consisted of mainly
fruit and vegetables. Been eating a
salad of some sort each night for dinner and having a cup of fruit for lunch
each day. I haven’t had any sodas,
sports drinks, fancy coffees, pretty much just water, with a few fruit
smoothies.
I have spent an hour or more on the treadmill for the last 7
days. Mix up my walking with some
running. Trying to get to a 10 minute
mile and a sixty minute duration. I am
up to about 30 minutes of running and 30 walking. I have been sticking with my diet, it has
been tough. Using the myfitnesspal app
to track all my calories consumed and burned.
Had a pretty big day today, I pulled and old arborvitae up out of the ground
that we had planted a couple years ago. I
pulled the other two last year. The
nursery we go them from planted them, and honestly I don’t think they had a
clue. I transplanted another lilac to
replace the arborvitae. Now I have six
of them along the back fence. The ones
I planted last year have really taken off, almost 6ft tall now and the even had
blooms on them this year. They were
small but at least they bloomed.
We loaded up the dead arborvitae in the truck and headed
over to Bott and worked on the yard and flower garden. Candy
worked out front and cleaned out the flower garden. It was a mess, full of leaves and little
aspen tree’s shooting up. I dug out the
weed eater and ran it along the fence and then mowed the front and
backyard. I sprayed ground killer in the rock garden to
kill the weeds coming up. Loaded up all
the trash from Bott and headed off to dump it.
Last year I planted a raspberry and blueberry bush. The blueberry didn’t come back, but the raspberry
is looking great. I didn’t think it
would come back, but I am guessing I am going to have a bumper crop of raspberries.
Friday I mowed the yard at the house, it was getting pretty
tall in spots. The yard is a mess and I
don’t see it getting better with the water restrictions we are under. I have some big brown spots, not sure if it’s
a bug or fungus. Today is our water day
so I ran the sprinklers. Looks like I
have another leak that I am going to need to dig up and splice in new pipe. I have some heads that need some re-alignment
and a couple that need replaced.
Last couple of days we have been getting the corvette
out. On Wednesday we met up with a
friend of mine and his wife, he drives a sixty eight mustang. We cruised each other up and down Colorado Avenue
in old Colorado City, turning heads as we rolled. Ended up parking at Sonic and sat at the
tables and chit chatted while we had dinner.
It is tough to eat at Sonic when you are on a diet. Friday night we drove it downtown and had
dinner at Rasta Pasta.
Big day tomorrow, Clark is graduating from CMHS, “he’s a big
boy now”. The ceremonies are being held
at the World Arena at 1:30 PM. We will
make sure to get plenty of pictures.
Happy Hiking!
