Springing Back to Life

Our patio has gone through many iterations over the past 29 years.  When we first moved in, we were poor.  Our budget was tight so we had to be content with the grass and shadowbox fences with the neighbors.  We knew we always wanted a patio and saved up for it.  I want to say we paid $1200 for a paver patio.  We picked out the huge 18"x18" slate look pavers from Lowe's and got a patio set that was an ambitious size.  It was nice to have a space to relax outside and have a little flower bed where our pooch would happily walk up to smell the flowers.  After a year or two of constantly having people catch our eye as they walked their dogs or themselves, we said it was time for a fence with a gate.  I think it was around $700 back then.  Damn those prices make me nostalgic! Over the years, we had various outdoor area rugs, curtains on the fences to cover gaps, tropical hibiscus trees during our Hawaii years to remind us of our second home. ...

A little update

So I've done 3 days of the "new" plan of exercising in the morning in addition to the evening.  I just tell myself I am employed at a gym and I teach 2 classes a day.  You know, mind games help!  ;-)  I am actually quite pleased with how I feel.  I don't have less energy when I do the 2nd workout because they're spaced out over about 6-8 hours.  I'm basically burning what I'm eating, about 2100-2200 calories per day.  I purposely haven't peeked on the scale because I want to be surprised tomorrow.  (I just hope it's not surprised in a bad way)  I'm drinking 130 oz of water a day so I'm staying hydrated.  Yesterday I did get really tired about 3:30pm so I took a little nap and I felt better when it was time to workout in the evening.  I do a little preventative pre-workout heating pad session to warm up my lower back.  I just want to be as careful as possible.  I hope everyone is having a good week!  (Whoever everyone is!  LOL)
