I had a workout with Joel my trainer last night. He focused on arms with free weights. I feel really, really weak that I needed to use the 7.5 lb weights! But I was huffing and heaving by the end of that 20 minutes (although I'd used 10 lb weights for the first 10 minutes) so I for sure need to stick with the 7.5s! After that, I rode a mile on the bike at 8 as quickly as I could, which was 3 minutes and 50 seconds. And then it was crunches on the machine - and I totally sucked at those! But oh well! It was a good work out. I'm not very sore today. Hopefully I'll make it to the gym tonight for some cardio, and then a good salad for dinner.
My mom is coming to visit next weekend! I'm so excited. She is staying for a whole week, too! I hope I'll be able to spend lots of time with her. I'm hoping to take some time off work.
We are having such troubles with our stupid accountant! I don't know what's going on with her, but apparently her life has gone to hell in a handbasket and she's dragging us along with her! Hopefully we will get our taxes filed soon. We're already planning how to spend the tax-return money. We're having a great big patio poured out back of our house this weekend! Assuming we ever get our taxes done, we are going to:
1. do the patio
2. plant some red tips along the back of the yard
3. plant one or two good-sized trees in the back yard
4. hire V-Cool to install heat-reducing film on the windows on the back of our west-facing house
5. overseed the yard to try and grow some more grass out back
6. replace our sliding glass door with a patio door - on sale at Lowe's right now for 20% off!
I really need to get a window treatment on the back door, but I'm not sure we'll have the money for that. I'd like to get all of this done in time for Dave and Jenn's rehearsal dinner on Memorial Day weekend.
