Technically an "off" day, but based on the last 2 weeks of double-watering my lawn and going a week w/o mowing, the workout was pushing my reel mower thru a jungle of Bermuda grass this morning. Then trimming. Then sweeping. Then clipping back my oleanders & sage bush. Then replanting. Then cleaning up again.

Good times Great looking yard!

Got some good comments from some of the other girls my trainer is prepping for shows this summer - some of the fluff is disappearing

[Sunnyday]

Congrats on the taxes and some of the fluff being in your rear view mirror! It's always a mood booster when someone notices improvements in your physique.

It really is - so-so motivation lately w/ increasing worry about being a fatass when I start looking at some vacation time this summer. Just takes a little bit to get out of the rut, but its a critical little bit!

Congratulations. I'm a procrastinator, but it was all complete by deadline.

It really snuck (is that a word?) up on me this year because I ended up w/ 2 weeks of impromptu travel at the end of march / first week of April, but glad it is done!

I have a mild pinch somewhere in my right thigh and it's been there for like 2 weeks now. I can't pinpoint it exactly for my ART guy to beat on it but he's worked on the IT band area for 2 weeks and it still is annoying. What a beyotch. Oh yea, and the upper body stuff yesterday irritated the fuck out of my right elbow and the insertions out of the forearm and into the bicep. I woke up w/ it hurting like a mutha.

I have had some physical problems in the past...reading all this makes me happy I am relatively injury free at the time.

Sorry you are dealing with so many issues.

[Sunnyday]

Ow! I know from experience those annoying setbacks can zap the starch right out of you. But believe me they DO get better. Hang in there.

The funny thing is that it's all just the accumulation of a bunch of little stuff piled up - it's sooooo anticlimactic - but it is getting worked thru. In the same chat w/ the girls the other night, I realized how much I miss being "in the zone" - I'm still not there, but I do need to keep reminding myself of 'eye on the prize' - and even if I'm not over that hump, like where you actually start seeing the pants fit differently and stuff , I'm the cusp of it - and one "gain" I can claim as that the big pains of the last 4 years are much more under control. So it's all good, and hopefully in a couple months I'll be whining about true DOMS instead of joint stuff. THAT's when I'll be probably need to remind myself of how good DOMS feels
