Yeah, I definitely don’t need to be eating that stuff!! I didn’t realize it was so bad till after I ate it. and it’s not the only pint I’ve eaten this week

Granted, this one is way worse than the others I’ve eaten, but still, even half that would be bad.

And I really need to work on all that!! Cause to me the smaller stuff isn’t the same. I know it should be but I’m so used to the massive servings I feel like I got ripped off or something.

It’s not just with ice cream. It’s with most sweets/junk now. I have to eat more and more to get the same result.

Today is a lot cooler, 67 instead of 83, but still just as gorgeous and sunny and much more my style, and I’m up early so I should be able to do a lot more today. I’m gonna go plant some plants before breakfast then maybe a walk or something after I eat.

I’m not sure I’ll ever actually be able to enjoy heat but I guess I could try. I know it’s a mindset, etc. but it’s hard when it’s like 90 and super muggy/humid and I’m sweating buckets just from stepping out the door and cause I get super dehydrated/sick easily. but I guess if I drink enough and maybe try the shade at first it might not be so bad. Yesterday actually really wasn’t that bad but it wasn’t that hot yet either.

I see now what Kiki means when she says you write book-length posts

Okay imma shower. Hopefully the kids wake up in a good mood. We have spoiled them to the point that if they don’t wake up to seeing us next to them (or hearing us in the living room) they cry.

Do you do the family bed thing?

Unfortunately yes. We had to buy a king size bed just for all 4 of us to fit. But we are thinking of migrating them to another bed but in the same room and then eventually to their own room.

Right now at this age (they’ll be 4 in June) my husband just feels less stress if they sleep with us.

Thanks!! I’ll remember to do that. Well I will try not to walk around so much indoors and just wait til I’m back outside. When I’m outside I do change it up a bit.

My husband went to pick up some cows a few hours away which means I’m stuck in bed til the kiddos wake up. They are going through a growth spurt so they’ve been sleeping in.

Nothing wrong with walking indoors. I pace back and forth in the walkway at the back of our main room all the time in winter. It's amazing how many steps you get that way.

Yesterday we put up a roll of field fence. I ordered this stuff online for the curbside pickup, so I didn't know what it looked like. When I saw it, I was like, "Oh !" But we managed. Only DH can't, so I'm the one who got to unroll it, then scootch it back to the fence line--4' tall, 330' long, steel. Do you know what that weighs? (Neither do I, but it's dam heavy! ) My hip is protesting, so just don't expect too much from me today!

Wow you’re strong!! If my husband can’t do it then I sure can’t. And he’s injured (but he doesn’t complain about pain) now me on the other hand I’ll complain over the smallest of temporary pain. I should probably stop...

Okay shower time brb

Been there, done that except I did not have any help, not even moral support.

At one time, I measured out a route in the house to be able to get in miles during inclement weather. The route did include down the stairs into the basement loop and back up the stairs to the living level loop. I think I had it to where 6 complete loops equaled one mile.

I've been thinking about making a spreadsheet to track my daily steps and my daily post count.

Yesterday I did 16,842 steps 19 posts to threads, and 26 conversation messages.

@hysop , My husband is the complainer. Geez! He never stops. My family growing up, nobody complained (well except my youngest brother, and that was more whiney begging ). DH didn't start complaining until our honeymoon trip, so it's not as though he doesn't know better. He's crazy about me though, and there's a lot to be said for that.

As for the fence roll--it probably doesn't weigh that much more than the weight I lost. When you carry around an extra hundred, you do have to develop some muscle. It was awkward, though. And I bought three more besides that one. (deep breath) We're gonna unroll and cut a piece to finish off the south fence. The part we did yesterday was downhill. The rest will be uphill, so... And we can't start at the top because the tractor can't go there--too uneven, too steep, too many trees. Gonna be a bit easier though (hopefully).

I think it probably weighs around 200 pounds.

They are definitely more than a hundred pounds but I never weighed it to make sure. Of course, the heavy duty stuff weighs much more than the light weight stuff.
