The Great Outdoors
Oh what a weekend!!! I got in some MAJOR activity and I really enjoyed it! We did our grocery shopping Fri night and got to bed fairly early for a weekend night because we volunteered to pick up trash on the river banks Sat morning. I was NOT happy about having to get up @ 7 in the morning on my day off but after I got over the initial b!tchyness and we got down to the Missouri, I had a great time. They piled us in a boat w/about 4 other people, took us way upstream and dropped us off on the Iowa side of the River. We walked along the rocky shore, climbed over weeds & trees and picked up any trash we could see. Lots and lots of plastic bottles & styrofoam. Big hunks of old metal something or other & old carpet. All kinds of trash! I definitely felt the effects on Sun considering my legs & arms were VERY sore - it was such a nice feeling. :)
Sat night we went camping - it was a nice crisp night and although I didn't over-do it with food (alright fine, I did have 2 smores) - I definitely overdid it w/the drinking. That's one of my major downfalls when it comes to my weight - the alcohol. Useless calories/carbs that aren't good for anything. I've cut it down to the weekends but even that isn't enough... I've got to limit it to once or twice a month vs once or twice a week!
One bad thing about being outdoors all weekend was that I came home and I swear I've got @ least 30 mosquito bites. I drenched myself in insect repelant but it didn't seem to help. I'll probably have to drench myself in rubbing alcohol to get rid of the itchyness.
I did call my Dr to see about getting on phenteramine so we'll see. Plus, I found a gal online that wants to get together once or twice a week to walk. Gives me more motivation to keep going.
That's all the latest news. I sure hope everyone was better than I was over the weekend. :) What is it about Sat & Sun that makes everything I work for all week go right out the window?!?!?! :)
