Fitness Journal – Taking a Break From All Your Worries

I’ve talked about the need for a mental health day before. Days to de-stress and take a break are very important. They are important for your workout routine to have a down day to let your body recover properly. Remember, when you don’t give your muscles a chance to recover then you run the risk of overtraining and over doing it – this leads to injury, illness and fatigue. Your mind is a lot like your body, if you don’t give it some quality downtime, you’re going to be cranky, irritable and tired. My daughter went to spend the day … Continue reading →

Heading off Weeds in Your Yard or Garden

If you hate weeding as much as I do, you might just love Weed Control fabric, offered by Du Pont.

Weeding Away the Pounds

It’s summer here, I know officially that summer hasn’t started yet, but it definitely feels like summer is here with soaring temperatures, hot sun and steamy air. We’ve been very fortunate this spring because we’ve had lots and lots of rain (compared to last year when we had almost no rain and our lake dropped to 16 feet below the normal water level). So what do hot sun, warm temperatures and lots of rain give you? If you answered weeds, then go to the front of the class!

How Does Your Garden Clutter?

Just when you think you have finished sorting out the clutter on the inside of your home, you dare to look out towards the yard and what do you see? No homeward angel there; only weeds, poison ivy and dandelions running amok and amid your grasses and shrubs. What to do, what to do? Don’t despair.

I have another hour’s worth of weeding to do today; just as likely I’ll spend some time pruning and I was thinking of moving two of the rose bushes from where they are to closer to one of the sprinklers. Who needs gym equipment when you’ve got a pretty active workout waiting for you in the front yard, back yard or both. When we do a lot of lawn and garden maintenance, there are plenty of activities to get our heart moving, to work muscles in … Continue reading →
