Quote from veritableqndry :
"Yeah, unless you want hot-spacho!" - all I can think about when I hear gazpacho now. laugh out loud

I eat cucumbers like nobody's business when they're in season. Sometimes I'll just have a bowl of them with Italian dressing for dinner. I'll be planting a ton of them in my garden as well. And then probably crying to you about how they aren't growing... I've never grown cucumbers before. Hell, I've never planted anything in the ground before, always containers! laugh out loud I need to get on the ball & start putting in plants soon. Maybe this weekend if it doesn't rain.
I got 2 of these:

http://www.homedepot.com/Featured...reId=10051

Then I connected them with 4 cedar fence pickets @ $1.38 each and created this:


That was the middle of March. Today my garden is amazing!!



We (I mean DH) shoveled out the sod under the boxes and we filled them with topsoil, mulch and potting mix. Then I planted all the stuff and topped it with chunky mulch to help with weed control. The initial work is tough, but the rewards will be worth it!

I uploaded more pics to FB - I got all skeezed out because my phone has the GPS settings on it so I didn't want to post them all here. FB strips that as far as I can tell. Now I'm going to figure out how to turn that off on my phone. Shocking Forgot to do that with the latest phone MS sent me.

I got bored at lunch today and ended up with Margarita (salt, pepper,premade margaritas with tequila-that happened to be in the fridge) Tilapia and a Farmer's Salad (well my version) I think it turned out kind of pretty. Also only ~350 calories and 23g of protein Big Grin

No Zumba today. I over-did it yesterday and feel like crap today. I'm tired. My body is still recovering. I'm going to the store for chicken soup supplies and to restock the cabinets and fridge and I'm going to vote (school board) and then I'm on the couch folding laundry.

Well done, sir! Clap

I think I'm officially OK! Lost another inch around the middle (that makes 3!) but not sure I'll keep that one off or if it's just from being sick. I can't Zumba Monday b/c I'm going to the zoo with LT's field trip.

So, I spent the day scrubbing floors and baseboards on my hands and knees. I am paying for that now. I ache. A lot.

Also, a lady I know's daughter was murdered last night. The daughter was 24 with a 2 year old son and the son's father murdered her. He then drove away in her car and they found him later in the car in the bottom of a rock quarry. They had to send in divers. I feel terrible for her. All I could think all day was how she should be enjoying the beautiful day, not planning her daughter's funeral. That's why I was scrubbing. Work therapy.

Sadwalk I will never understand why people feel the need to do the whole murder/suicide thing. Just kill yourself and be done with it. No sense ruining more lives than necessary.

No doubt. Now his baby doesn't have a mommy either. Her parents don't have their little girl. It's just stupid. People are stupid.

Holy. Crap.

5 straight days of lifting heavy. Flex I feel GREAT but I'm also whipped like you can't believe. I can't go to the gym tomorrow and probably can't go Thursday either so I made a point to get there both days on the weekend + yesterday & today (and Fridays are a regular day for me).

I gotta say: my mood has been awesome lately! I keep catching myself thinking "damn I feel good!" laugh out loud I know I have to take a couple of days off though b/c my muscles can't rebuild if I'm constantly trashing them. I think I can still do pushups & situps though, and probably ride the elliptical for a while.

Going to the gym is all I think about now! LMAO

PS - Level 14! Flex AM, where you at?

High Five Well done!! I feel like crap! I know it's because I haven't done anything for over a week. Ready to get back on the Zumba bandwagon tomorrow. Dance14 My energy level is low (although I DID walk all over the zoo yesterday with kindergartners and spent all day at school helping rally the boys to sign up for Scouting and had a meeting tonight from 6:30-8:30... geez, why am I tired? laugh out loud) and all I want to do is work out. I get to go tomorrow, but will be out again through the weekend due to family obligations. Annoyed I plan to hit the pool the rest of this week and do some laps, even though I hate putting my face in the water. Hide

What, if anything, can you do at home? I've been toying with the idea of... acquiring... P90x or Insanity, and giving them a go. Their infomercials get me all hot & bothered. laugh out loud

There's also a LOT of bodyweight fitness stuff you can do. Google "Convict Conditioning" and see what you think. It's all stuff a guy in prison with no equipment could do - also good for people who can't get to the gym or class! Whee

I know I pimp Reddit a lot but there's also www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness if you're at all interested. If you can find 30 minutes to sneak off alone, you can PUMP! YOU! UP! laugh out loud

Family "vacation" to visit family = no vacation. I'll be cooking for DH's 100 yr old grandparents the whole time. My only hope is the hotel pool! I might try to run if there's a treadmill available.
