Over did it?

Well, I decided to go on a walk today. I don't usually do this. There are many not so good reasons, but they are still my reasons. First, I don't live in a town where people tend to walk just for exercise. Two, I'm not often motivated to go on a walk alone. Three, I get bored walking solo. BUT I did it anyway.Yay me! It is my goal every summer to be a better me come September, I don't usually follow through very well. But so far, two days of summer break and two days of exercise!  However, to be honest with you, I think I over did it. You wonder how can I over do walking? I wonder the same thing. I do know that I am already sore and my muscles are twitching. It might have something to do with the body weight matrix from last night. Don't ask! It might have something to do with the pace at which I was walking. It might have something to do with the hour and seven minutes, 4.15 miles. It might have something to do with the fact that I haven't gone on a walk (for exercise in a LOOOONGGG time).  For those of you exercise enthusiasts this might seem like no biggie to you, but boy was it tough for me by the end. I thought my legs might crumple right underneath me! Good thing I had some good walking buddies. Some of my friends who kept me company deserve a shout out: Britney, Will S., Adele, Kelly and the many more who I don't remember. You're the best!

And the biggest thank you to my amazing shoes.  I love you dearly.

The last 8 weeks

Oops. So, it's been a while since I've been on here. I think I have 8 pictures to catch up and and probably a million other things I could've written about. For the friends that follow this, my apologies. I am not going to try to follow the picture ideas that I was using before and instead just post 8 pictures that I've taken in the last 8 weeks.

Our first food from the garden!

Watering the garden in May, when it was warm out!

Our fist little baby sprout from seed! I believe this was the lemon cucumber that popped up first!

So, you can see that I've been spending most spare time in the yard. We've done a major overhaul in the last few months. It's been a lot of fun, and very rewarding. I am so excited to watch my garden continue to grow. I planted, from start, corn, reg. cucumber, bell peppers, strawberries (ate the first one yesterday), tomatoes, lettuce, basil, oregano, rosemary, mint, parsley; from seed I planted beets, lemon cucumbers, zucchini and bush beans. It is so fun, I love watching my babies grow, and cannot wait to start eating them. YUM!
