Gratitude

Started off the morning with a good walk around the neighborhood with Allie. Went to Lowes and got grass seed and manure to overseed lawn and got that done. Also got wood slats to do the pickets on the garden fence. Taking Leisa out on a date tonight!

Monday Wednesday Friday: Swim at gym and use various machines Tuesday Thursday: Walk dog in my neighborhood. Friend David and his dog walks with me. Great for conversation as well Saturday: hike the local mountain trail as often as possible with anyone who wants to go. Sunday: Take a break, go to church, exercise spiritually!

I try to go 2-3 times a week. They open up at 05:00 in the morning so I try to get there between 5-5:30, start off with swimming and the go work out on some of the machines, trying to alternate my upper body some days, and my legs and lower body the others.
