I'm embarrased to say I didn't workout yesterday b/c it was 90 degrees outside and we don't have A.C. so I just swam at the lake for 2 1/2 hours. :( This heat is really bumming me out!!

I know, what is the big deal about 90 degrees? Well I hate it and it really is no fun when you can't get any relief at home or anywhere else. (Nobody has A.C here!)

Yesterday after I got off work, DH & I wrestled railroad ties and raked & piled grass & cardboard for two raised beds. Took about an hour total to get them built. The ties were in the front yard, formerly serving as bridges across our moat. :lol: So we had to drag, heave & roll them about 300' to get them where we wanted the beds. He got the easy part, he rode the lawnmower while I raked.

When we moved her last October I fenced and cross fenced, dug up my garden moved logs etc. I got soo skinny my pants were falling off by Christmas! Yard and farm work is the best work out and you accomplish real goals too.

I hate heat, too. That's one reason why I head to the woods and creeks for my hikes. It is 10 degrees cooler down there and shady.

Ahhh come on BBH!
It was a beautiful day too.........MELT!
I hear tomorrow is going to be even hotter?
I got a good work out today! I would step out into the heat and be in such a hurry to get back to the A/C, I would forget half the things I went out for and just have to turn around and go back out!
