For the last couple of years, I’ve been helping my husband with his lawn service. It’s been a great form of exercise. I’ve enjoyed meeting the people and the satisfaction of a job well done is priceless.

This year mowing has become a problem for me. I helped my husband mowing for two hours on Saturday. My right knee and leg was hurting so bad when I finished, I could barely drive home. It was still hurting just as bad yesterday. Good news….bad news…….I’m feeling better today….but the phone rang….time to go cut a lawn. It’s not quite so bad when I can stay on flat land…but that’s tough to do here in Tennessee. We live in the part of the state that’s called the “Rolling Hills”.

Today, when my leg starts hurting…I’m going to stop immediately. I always push myself until I just can’t tolerate the pain anymore….then I quit. We’ll see how that works….otherwise, I’m going to have to find an alternative method to exercise.

I’ve lost 10 pounds since I’ve serious started my weight loss program again. I want to keep it off and continue to lose. I’m grabbing my pedometer and my water. Need to get done before it gets toooooooo hot.
