It has been 10 days since I posted an update. My commitment was to post at least once a week so I need to get on track. So here's what is happening- I have been working out! I used the treadmill 3 times last week and each time I walked at least 2 miles. I walked the dogs 3 times and I went to yoga 2 times. Not bad for a first week. I found a new yoga studio in my neighborhood. I went on Monday to a new student workshop. It was 2 hours but only about an hour of actual yoga and the rest was discussion about yoga and how it can help you, etc. Then I went back on Saturday to a Vinyasa class. Not bad. Not nearly as hard as the class I use to take at Zuda downtown. That might be a good thing because sometimes I would not go just because I knew how hard it would be. This class was less intense but I felt like I still got a decent workout. I will probably check out a couple of different instructors because the Saturday guys was a bit odd.
It feels like spring is here! The end of the week was in the upper 60's and I started seeing a little bit of plant life. This first photo , on the left, is from my neighbors yard. Love it! The 2nd photo, on the right, is from a plant in my backyard. I am really terrible with plant names. For some reason I can not identify anything or remember once I'm told what they are. I just think they are pretty and make me happy :) I'm sure Jane will tell me the names. 
On Monday night we had a big wind storm. When I woke up the next morning, there was a giant branch in the backyard. It doesn't not look like it came from by tree but I guess that doesn't matter, it's mine now. My backyard looks like hell! There are branches everywhere and half of the grass has died. Plus, the fence is looking pretty sad these days. Not sure it will make it another year.
Next weekend is Savannah's fundraiser. I have some major house cleaning to do. I found a fun recipe for cake pops that I'm going to try out. Cake on a stick dipped in chocolate. Starbucks is going to be selling cake pops in March so I'm going to get a jump on that trend and make my own. Not really part of the diet but that's okay. I'll keep my portion to one or maybe two.
Photo's to follow of the cake pops! And all the other fundraiser food.
You need to get that nephew of yours out to your house to help you clean up your backyard!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as the rain stops... that is the plan. Of course now it's covered in dog poo. I think I need the whole thing torn up and should start over.
