Don't mind me.. I'm outside right now.
Not on twitter, or Facebook.
I am digging, planting and chasing down my kids in the yard.
As a blogger at home I probably don't take off as much time as I should. Add to this the grey and soggy Oregon weather and this Mama has had cabin fever for the past several months.
So I am taking a little break today.
No meal plan yet this week, we still have leftovers to work through, and no exercise plan yet. But don't worry! I am getting plenty of steps (over 13,000 yesterday) and plenty of strength coming from all the shoveling and hoeing.
This past weekend I cleaned up our backyard and with a little elbow grease got it all ready for Summer Grilling. Grilling is one of my favorite ways to prepare a simple and healthy meal. Pass on the heavy sauces, see what the veggies and meat taste like naturally. We grilled everything from scallions, mushrooms and grape tomatoes to squash and pineapple.
On that note I will leave you. I haven't stepped on the scale today, but my shorts are fitting great and I feel good. Sometimes a change is needed and it really feels good to get in some old fashioned hard work.

Enjoy that sunshine! It's been awfully drizzly on the East Coast lately too so I've been enjoying any sunshine we get as well! :D Just read your grilling post and it looks like it was delish!!
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to spend time outside, isn't it? Great job getting all those steps in! I can't wait to try that yogurt chicken!
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I feel as good after an afternoon in the yard as I do after a visit to the gym. It's HARD work! Enjoy your time outside and just soak it in!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds awesome! I think we will join you!
ReplyDeleteHave fun playing!!!
It's raining here in eastern WA but I've been tooling around the backyard too - getting it ready for the summer. Grilling is my favorite summer activity. I'm anxious for the weather to be better so we can get to it.
ReplyDeleteClothes that fit great are awesome! I love grilling too. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteI am SO going to try that chicken!
ReplyDeleteI've been spending as much time outside as possible, too. Even in the thunderstorm last night, I had the doors open so I could feel like I was outside!
