Before After

Still alive

My MIA status has been nothing more than weather related.  It's absolutely BEAUTIFUL outside and I've been enjoying lots of outside activity. 

I did kind of relax on the wellness front this week and it was something that I needed to do I think.  I exercised each day, but didnt train.  (there is a BIG difference)  I've eaten well, just not super scheduled.  I've not gained, and I've not lost.  Well, I have lost some muscle defintion.  (It's amazing how fast that goes away.)  Our muscle have excellent memories though, and getting it back shouldn't be a big problem once I hit the weights hard again.  Has felt good to just kind of relax a bit though.

Dh and I have been taking bike rides and I'm loving it.  Tomorrow morning right at dawn, we are headed to Dayton.  We are going to pack a lite breakfast and have breakfast down in the city on the waterfront.  There is a super cool park there. Should be fun.

I probably already told ya'll this, but we have the coolest trails here.  They have taken the railroads and turned them into walking / bike trails and they go for miles.  They are called "rails-to-trails".  They are super nice, and I'm looking forward to our longer ride tomorrow.  (which will be about 20 miles) 

Of course, there is also Zumba at 11:00.  Sure don't want to miss that. 

Well, I need to make some MK deliveries and go buy some more plants. Dh and I spent the morning at the yard sales and now I have some cool plant stands to fill.  I found an old wooden ladder for just $1.00!!!!!  YES!!   It's going to be a super cool plant stand for the porch.   I won't use white pots though, something more rough and rustic.   I am loving working with the plants and have to exercise some serious restraint when at the store.  It's a sickness I tell ya.

Wow!

It's so weird to hear YOU say you needed to take time off from training!  LOL!  But you're right, that muscle memory is wonderful. 

That's a great deal on the plant stand.  Enjoy your bike ride tomorrow.

And, girl, get you one of those alarm clocks!

crafty!!

I love how you turn simple things into beautiful things...you totally squeeze out the potential of every single little thing =D I love that about you!!

Enjoy the sun and the exercise with hubby!

Thx for the compliment about my dress...I definitely felt like the lady in red that night ;)

Ohhh I am jealous!

We don't live near any great walking trails .  But we do live near the beach so I should not complain!

Love the ladder idea!

Hi there,

Hi Alicia,

Thank you so much for checking in on me.  I am starting to feel better.  It is a slow recovery.  I rehurt it the other night so that put me back to square one.  I hope to be back, and active soon.  In the mean time while I am laid up, I thought it would be a good idea, and good time to quit smoking again.  So I am now trying to get through that.  Spending alot of time on a support board for quitters!!  It's not easy, but I think I can do it.  I'm going Cold turkey this time. 

I'm so glad you are enjoying the Great Out Doors!!  I know that your really happy in your garden!  Talk to you soon.

Love, Laura.

I'm am SO....

...Gellis!!!!  I haven't planted a single thing yet.  And probably won't for quite a while due to my illness.  So keep those pictures coming.  I have to live vicariously!!
