I'm still on my quest to get healthy. I'm pretty happy with my progress. No weight loss which does surprise me as I'm eating so well...but I since this is NOT a diet..I'm ok with that.
I'm drinking more water, little to no soda and my coffee is way back. I'm eating more natural..less meat..no fried food. I have more energy (except when my allergies kick in) and today I got back in my weight lifting class. I haven't been in a year and it literally kicked my ass. My arms are jello. My legs were ok but my ankles were burning.
What I do need to do is get back into tennis. I love the game..I love how I really lose myself to the moment when I play. Nothing else gets my full attention. Did y'all see my man, Roger play today? It was kinda sad his opponent really didn't try. I hope Nadal is better for Wimbledon so I can see a real match.
It is hot, muggy and buggy outside. I have some great books including American Lion ( I LOVE presidential biographies) but even when I spray myself with Deep Woods Off the bugs still bite..only they bite my eyelids and other weird places. When I lived in Florida, we went on a turtle walk (my favorite thing) and these weird fly/beetle things were biting everyone even though we were covered in bug spray..they even bit in the ear. And these big blisters would form..it was horrible. I never had that again...no matter when we went to the beach. I remember seeing pics of settlers from the turn of the century and they would bury themselves in sand to their neck at night.

Hey susie!
OK, i have to admit when i first read your post subject i thought you were going to talk about Britney Spears ex-husband...and thought WTF, am i on Furline's blog by mistake?
then i realized he is FederLINE. LOL.
Good for you for keeping to it. I didn't know you played tennis. I think it's one of the hardest sports and so physical. I tried and thought i would do okay cause i run, but i was terrible.
I love that we live in an area without many bugs. We are so lucky, because when i am anywhere else, bugs love me a lot and i welt up big time.
I recently saw an advertisement for one of those bug things that you hang on yourself so you don't have to spray that terrible stuff on you. I thought i might try that when flyfishing. I wonder if it works?
the bugs are everywhere here!! It's so damn dry and hot they are coming in like plagues upon us. Scorpians, black widows and snakes I could definately do without. You cant go outside without grasshoppers just about knocking you over. Not that hoppers are bad, but they get very annoying in such mass-ness.
bugs - bleck!!
