Day Forty

Finally caught up with my blogs today LOL.  Yeah, I'm slacking with that.  It's just I need a new computer.  Mine is so cheap.  I can't wait to get me a brand new computer.


So, today I started off with my 2 1/2 miles.  No snakes today hahaha!!!  I walked it pretty hard.  My legs sure feel stronger.  I can walk the entire length without stopping now, with ease.  Before I would stop at the end of the road, that's a mile and a quarter down, take a small breather, then head back.  Now, I walk the whole way and not stop.  I drank lots of water also.


When we got back, I took Lisa up and got her a haircut.  She wanted to layer her hair...or something like that.  Now she's lookin prettier than usual.  I liked her haircut.  They did a superb job.  After that, we headed out to pay some bills then got some lunch.  Soon as we got home, I needed to crawl up on my roof and fix my cooler.  I think my water pump was clogged up so I got up there and fixed it.  I'm glad I did because my air inside the place was kinda bland yesterday.  Not too cool, like usual.  Anyway I got it working good.  Dang it was hot up there though.  Lisa gave me a towel to sit on while I did my work.  Got it working good.  Fix-It Felix mode lol. 


I sat around for a bit throughout the afternoon, then about 4:30pm, same as yesterday, I got ready and headed out to finish up my 5 miles for the day.  Cody and I did the other 2 1/2 mile walk.  I sure felt strong today!  I did some light running mixed in with my walk.  Oh man was it HOT outside, but God gave me the strength I needed to really push hard and get it done.  I did a swift walk and did not stop at All today!  No snakes sidetracked me LOL.  Cody didn't have much energy it seemed, or maybe today was just one of his blah days.  He usually jumps in the ditch several times, but today he didn't.  Just got his feet wet once, then stayed out the rest of the time.  When we got home, I gave him some fresh cool water and put him in the shade.  He's doin good now! 


After the walk, I jumped in a cool shower!  Oh man it felt good.  That sun sure cooks me out there so when I get home and hop in that cold shower, I can just feel the steam coming off my body!  So Amazing a feeling.  I also worked on the bowflex tonight!  Woohoo!!!!  Damn it kicked my ass though.  I'm gonna be sore tomorrow.  My chest really cramped up lol.  I know it's goin to work.  I miss using that bowflex so much.  I can't wait to do another workout tomorrow.


Well, today was Awesome!!  Lookin forward to tomorrow.  Have a great evening ;}

Day Thirty Nine

Today was an exciting day!  Got up early and did my 2 1/2 miles.  I hit it hard too and did some serious walking.  My legs feel stronger and I so can't wait to start up running.  I wanna do it soon, but I still wanna get my legs stronger first and drop a bit more weight.  Don't wanna put too much strain on my knees. 


After getting home.  We cleaned up and then I took Lisa to see 'Edge of Tomorrow'.   Oh man, that was an Amazing movie!!  I'm a big Tom Cruise fan.  He makes Awesome movies.  That was a great flick.  Lisa liked it.  Emily Blunt is super hot.  I loved her in that movie.  I suggest you watch it if you haven't already.  Definitely my kinda movie!  After, I took Lees to Fuddruckers to get her a hamburger.  She was hungry.  I told her she could go ahead and have a burger since she's been walking 4 1/2 miles at her work just about everyday so she'll burn off those extra calories.  Me on the other hand, I resisted the burger and instead got a grilled chicken salad.  It was on the healthy menu under 600 calories, Woohoo!!!!  I got that and just finished the Diet Coke I got in the theater.  Dang that was a very good lunch.  That held me off all day long.  I was so full after because it was a big salad.  Very delicious!!! 


This afternoon, I finished out my 5 miles!  Dammit, I am determined to get back to 5 miles everyday as well as DDPyoga and Bowflex workouts thrown in there.  Anyway, Cody and I did the other 2 1/2 miles afternoon.  I wanted to watch a show at 6pm so we headed out early, around 4:30pm.  It was so super hot outside, but I kept a strong, swift walk without stopping all the way to and back.  One big sidetrack happened on the way back though.  Cody and I saw a snake down by the ditch.  Oh man it was a HUGE snake!!!!  Damn thing must've been about 3 1/2 to 4 feet long.  Big and fat, probably a good 3 to 4 inches in the middle.  I got so scared because at first I thought it was a rattlesnake.  Cody barked at it and when I got closer, that's when I saw it.  Huge!  It was calm at first and I kept trying to see if it was a rattler.  It wasn't making any noise, just slipping it's tongue in and out.  So I threw a few rocks in front of it.  I was careful not to hit it, just tossed a few in front to try and get it to move so I could see it's tail.  Finally, it began to move.  It coiled up and then I heard noise....oh shit, I thought.  After listening, I realized it was just hissing at me.  It got pretty pissed off and hissed at me.  It's head kinda swelled up a bit.  I just couldn't believe how big it was.  I'd never seen a snake that big in many many years!  Finally it moved and I saw that it was just a Bull Snake.  Whew!!!  I was relieved.  Just a big Bull Snake.  When I saw that, I was calm, then I walked toward it and chased it off down to the ditch.  It slithered away down close to the water.  I watched it a bit, then Cody and I just headed home.  That was exciting!  I sure wish I had my camera/phone.  The one time I really could've used my damn phone, I left it charging at home LOL.  I told Lisa about it when she got off work.  Crazy huge Bull Snake down there!  Those things are pretty good though.  I have a bull snake that lives over nearby my place, over by my grandma's trees.  That one isn't very big though.  I tried to catch it for a couple years, but it always tends to evade me!  It can climb also.  It climbs up my grandma's trees and it climbs up underneath her vehicle.  Crazy snake.  I don't mind it though.  Bull Snakes handle the rodent population in this area, as well as the other small bad animals we don't want around here.  The Bull Snake I have here doesn't bother Jayde or my cats, so that's good.  As long as it keeps cool, he can live here as long as he wants.  I ever see that huge one I saw today, though, I'm catching that thing and hauling it off about 40 miles from my place!!!  Ain't gonna have no huge snake crawling around my place.  Crazy!


Anyway that was my day.  Great day of exercise....and snakes ooooooooo!!!!  lol.  Goodnight! ;}

Day Thirty Eight

Today was a bit better.  I sure felt guilty for not getting in my 5 miles yesterday.  This morning, I hit it pretty good.  Did the 2 1/2 mile walk.  Lisa did some running, but she hurt her leg again, so I told her to go easy.  She's gotta just walk for a while and let her hip work itself out.  I try getting her to go in to get it looked at, but she's stubborn and doesn't want to.  I'll give it a week or so and if it's still giving her problems, I'm hauling her to the hospital to have it looked at.  She might've popped it out of place or something.  She's such a clutz sometimes! 


Soon as we got back from the walk, I decided that today was the day to get my weight room cleaned up so I can start using my Bowflex again!  I really need to start pumping the weights now that I've dropped weight.  Soon I'm going to start running so I wanna start strengthening up my legs.  So I pulled everything out of the room and started cleaning.  I rearranged everything, vacuumed up my floor and wiped all the dirt and dust off my bowflex and other exercise gear.  I haven't used this stuff in a long time.  This being my Fyrescape, dammit I'm going to get back into all of it.  I wanna put on a lot of muscle.  It took me most the day to clean this room out.  During the time I was doing that, Lisa cleaned up her room and the hallway and bathroom as well.  We got rid of this old washer and dryer we had in the back laundry room area.  It was old and we don't use it.  It takes too much water anyway so we got rid of it.  Now there's so much more room back there.  Jayde has lots of room to run around when she's back there now.  Also, today is the day that my cat Sebastian is now and Outdoor Cat!  He's always crying to go outside so now he's out there permanent!  He needs to be out there with his family anyway.  He's got two kitties whom I named, Rico (male) and Rayne (Female).  There mom's name is Roar and of course, Sebastian is the daddy.  He really loves the kitties too.  He goes up to them and they come out to play with him.  He licks them on the head and they start to follow him around.  A whole family out there now.  I love it! 


That was the day!  I wanted to finish out my 5 miles, but I got so tied up cleaning the back hallway after Lisa went to work.  I finished up my weight room though and really made it lookin nice!  Today was IMPACTwrestling too so I had to watch that.  Amazing show!  I can't wait for Slammiversary XII next weekend!  Anyway, I'll do 5 miles tomorrow.  Also, I'm gonna start working that bowflex!  Yay!  Things are really lookin up and I thank God for it all. 


Goodnight!  ;}

Day Thirty Seven

Today was not too good a day for exercising for me!  I gotta admit, I didn't push it as hard.  Reason being, this morning I had planned a fishing trip with my dad and brother, so Lees and I headed out to the lake pretty early this morning.  We waited out there for them, fishing.  It was a good morning.  I didn't catch anything though.  My dad caught one.  My brother had to cast his line out for him each time because my dad can't really move his chest all that much.  He's still healing from his heart surgery.  Hopefully by next month, he'll be doing good.  Until then, he's still taking it pretty easy.  It was a fun day though.  We all left around noon.  We were so hungry because we hadn't eaten any breakfast or anything!  I went ahead and let us have a cheat meal.  Not a big one.  We went to KFC and got a go-cup.  It was pretty good.  I got a tiny chicken sandwich in mine with those potato wedges.  Lees had chicken strips in hers with potato wedges.  I also got a Diet Pepsi.  That gave us the energy we needed.  I surly needed it.  I was running on empty after the lake.  There was healthier choices of food, but I just wanted something quick.


Anyway after getting home, we cleaned up a bit.  Later in the afternoon, I grilled us some hamburgers outside.  I made them really good.  Lisa really liked them.  We just ate the burger, no bread or added stuff.  Just the burger and vegetables.  It was really good.  That evening, we did the regular 2 1/2 mile walk.  I felt bad that I didn't get in 5 miles today, but as long as I did something.  I was glad to have spent the morning fishing with my dad though.  No regrets about that, ever!


Great day today.  Tomorrow, I'm lookin forward to it ;}

Day Thirty Six - REST DAY

Well today was an Awesome day!  Got to rest up.  I definitely needed it after walking 5 miles everyday this past week.  We had a pretty fun day, Lees and I.  I took her to see 'Malificent'.  She really liked it.  I loved it!  I'd definitely go see it again.  We're drinking Diet Coke!  Omg it is sooo good, and Zero Calories!!!  I never did like Diet Coke, but dang I swear after drinking only water day after day for a month, when I finally get to treat myself to a soda and I drink some Diet Coke...oh man sooooo good.  I told Lisa earlier, "Dang a Coke with No Calories, that's like a Gift from God!!!" lol.  Anyway, this evening, we went to that movie date with my mom, dad and little brother.  I hoped my sister would've been there, but no dice!  She's out running around doing God knows what.  I sure hope she's behaving herself, but knowing my sister, that's a long shot. 


I sure thought my mom was getting pizza, but instead she made a dinner of chicken pasta and salad.  I drank water with it.  I gotta say, it was so good.  The bad thing about it all was that she made this huge carrot cake for dessert.  Dammit, I could not pass that up so I ended up having a piece.  Just one piece.  Dang you have no idea how hard it was to resist another, but I did.  I should be awarded a freakin Metal for that!!!  Crazy.  The movie was good.  I think they liked it.. Earlier I bought the movie, 'RoboCop', the new one.  It came out today!  Pretty good to see it in blueray.  Came home after the movie, got lazy, fed all the animals and now ready for bed.


Great day today!  Back at it tomorrow.  Goodnight!  ;}

Day Thirty Five

I sure huffed it this morning.  I did my 2 1/2 miles and walked pretty fast.  Needed to burn off those calories from the last two days haha.  Lisa was luggin it this morning so I caught up to her.  She said her leg was hurting.  Cody had fun, as usual.  He's jumping into the water a lot more, especially when we do our walk in the evening.  It's pretty hot out there.


For lunch, we ate Subway because we were already in town.  I had to go up and do some things today so I went ahead and bought Lisa lunch again.  No more Arby's that's for sure.  I swore them off for a couple months.  Restaurants too, I'm getting back to eating healthy so it's back to veggies, yogurt and salads for me with some light meat.  There's goin to be a dink in that tomorrow though because yesterday, I made plans with my family that I was goin to buy the movie, Robocop tomorrow and bring it over tomorrow evening and watch it with them.  They had never seen it yet, I'm talkin the new one.  Mom said she's gonna get pizza!  Noooooo, seriously lol.  I asked her to make salad though so that's probably all I'll eat, that and water.  That's tomorrow's plan.


Anyway, I went to the post office because I'm waiting on some TNA wrestling gear that I bought.  I got Lisa a tshirt and I bought myself a hat and some banners.  It should be in sometime this week so I'll be keeping tabs on the post office throughout everyday. 


This evening was crazy for me!  I planned on taking my Rest Day tomorrow so I wanted to finish up my 5 miles.  I didn't want to do it late this evening because I wanted to relax and watch my shows.  So, I made the idiotic decision to do my 2 1/2 miles just before 5pm.  So, I put my sleeveless tshirt and half sweater on (to keep my arms from getting sunburned) and my shorts, which is my usual walking attire.  I headed out on my walk with Cody.  Dammit, it was so freakin HOT outside.  That late afternoon sun just fried me.  I was sweatin so bad!  Even Cody was hot, so he jumped in the ditch about 5 times so he did much better than me.  By the time I was heading home, my tshirt was soaked with sweat and sweat was just dripping off my face, getting into my eyes and everything.  That was really crazy!  But, I pushed it and got in a good, swift walk.  Finished out my 5 miles for the day around 6:30ish.  I'm quite sure I burned off the last two days calories!  Dang soon as I got home, I ran into my shower and took a cold one.  Felt soo good!  I could feel the steam coming off my body when that water hit.  After though, my head was hurting pretty bad.  That heat really did a number on me.  So yeah, I'm not doin that again.  I'm gonna wait a bit longer before I do my evening walk.  I took some aspirin after Lisa got off.  That calmed my head finally. 


So, another great day!  Lookin forward to my rest day tomorrow!  My legs are pretty tired.  I did just what I wanted, 5 miles everyday!  I didn't get the full 5 miles done yesterday because of that bad stomach ache, but I did get it done today so that made up for it.  Fyrescape is coming along well ;)


Goodnight!

Day Thirty Four

The Day After LOL.  So I really hit my 2 1/2 miles hard this morning.  I can't wait to start running.  I really really want to do that.  I know once I start running, I'll drop weight pretty good and really get my body goin like crazy!  I miss that feeling.  I've gotta share this though, the other day I took out some jackets from my closet.  Note that these jackets were getting pretty small on me, I noticed over the winter.  Two of them haven't been able to close in the front for a while now.  One did, but was getting snug.  Yeah, I wish that told me something back then, it did actually, but I was too afraid to listen.  Anyway, I tried on those same jackets and guess what, they can close now!  Woohoo, I could believe it.  The one jacket closed fully.  The other one closes up on top, but the part around my stomach, there's still about a 1 inch gap before it closes fully.  Way closer than before!  That really made my day.  I was very proud and it motivates me to keep on keepin on!


Today was church!  I found out that our friends, the Formans, whom were here last week, are actually coming back in July for the Vacation Bible School, our church is holding.  That was good news.  Now I get to redeem myself and spend a bit more time with them, try to reignite that old friendship I used to have.  I'll definitely be smaller by then too, so that's something I'm looking forward to.  Lisa's birthday is on July 18, which is the same week the bible school is happening and she wants to go to Capote Lake, CO.  That's our favorite summer spot which we try to go to every year.  So, we'll see how that all works out.


This evening, my mom called me around 6:40pm.  She asked me to come over for Kyle's birthday dinner.  Omgosh NOOOOOO lol.  Not again!  So I went, but first I told her I needed to get my walking done.  Told her I'd head over there soon as I got back.  Well this is what happened to that.  Oh man, I got about half way down, maybe a half mile, then I got hit with a killer stomach ache.  Dang it was hurting.  So yeah, I had to stop and head home.  After church that day, I bought Lees some lunch because she had to go to work so I ended up having a sandwich from Arby's.  I don't know what they did to it, but I think that's what caused it.  Cody sure didn't like coming home early, but he's a good, obedient dog so he came trottin home with me.  After, I cleaned up and went to mom's for dinner.  What they had, oh gosh ribs and potato salad.  I'm serious, they're not helping me LOL.  Well, again it's just a meal.  I was going to take a Rest Day tomorrow, but after the meal tonight, I'm definitely doing another 5 miles tomorrow.  I drank water for dinner, per the norm.  So yeah, let's just swipe these past two days from my Fyrescape record lol.


Great day today!  I enjoyed it much.  Goodnight ;}
