Hot, hot, hot

Posted July 30, 2008

I forgot what summer in Iowa can feel like.  It’s only 10:30 and I sweat through my shirt standing outside for less than 5 minutes.  It kind of makes me rethink our vacation to Florida/Georgia next week.  To them, I’m sure our weather calls for a sweater.  Oh well, I don’t care if I’m hot if I’m by the beach.

Today I got back w/the weights and I can tell it has been a little while.  But it felt good to be lifting again.  I’m not sure if it’s offically a sanctioned exercise by my doctor but I wasn’t having any impact on my heel, just squats and lunges.  It’s no different than casual walking, which I have to do next b/c we’re going to get groceries.

I’m going to sign off for now b/c in the next 90 minutes I want to get groceries, eat lunch and get my butt to the pool.  Our pool has waterwalking from 12-1 and although I can’t do that, they also allow parents and small kids in then to play in the baby pool.  It’s going to be so hot today that I know the regular pool will be packed, so if we can get our 1st hour in when it’s not so busy I think it will be best.  Plus, being the tanorexic that I am, I’ll get a better tan if I’m out from 12-2!!

Progress toward exercise goal:  23/250

    It is even quite hot here in OHIO! LOL
    I hope that you guys have a wonderful trip to Florida. I hope Kyle is feeling better.
    LOL I laugh about your ‘tanorexic ‘ comment. My hubby says I look the the white underbelly of a fish! LOL
    Have a wonderful day.

    It’s frickin’ hot here in Florida, girlie. And HUMID! But I think any temperature feels good when you’re on vacation!

    Thanks for your supportive comments about my cheeseburger. I didn’t even think anyone was reading my blog.

    Glanced through a few past days of your blog and am right there with you on a few things:

    son entering Kindergarten in a few weeks AND being bossy

    little one up the past several nights - but mine had ear infection and first tooth coming in.
    Lack of sleep always makes me want a quarter pounder with cheese and Dr. Pepper.

    Hang in there!

    p.s. Our high temp today was 104.

    hmmm. And I’m a teacher, too. You don’t have brown hair and blue eyes and a computer geek husband, too?
