Friday

Friday, February 26, 2010

I did not have a very good workout week. I have been stuck in meetings for new software that we will be using at work and all I could concentrate on is the fact that I missed another workout!

So I fought my way into work at 7:45 this morning, ugh snow, and went to the gym before heading to the office. Hmm this worked well and may become my new Friday routine! I did 56 minutes on the stair machine and burnt 922 calories! That makes up somewhat for all the workouts I missed during the week but atleast I got something in.

And from the looks of it I will be getting more exercise when I get home and have to shovel the driveway!

Stay warm friends...

It's done

The shower is officially done! In fact I am going up to take a shower in a few minutes, I have labored and sweat over this project, it is complete and I am satisfied.

No more projects for me, I am at the age where I will hire the help....;

Wife of a truck driver

Friday, February 12, 2010

I am the wife of an over the road truck driver. He has been driving for 30 years and I know things go on that he doesn't tell me about. Things like accidents he sees and situations he may get into; and I don't want to know. I trust him but worry excessively about him.

Last night he called at 10 to tell me that when he was passing another truck the ice from that truck came off the top of the box and hit him in the windshield. He drove for 20 seconds or so without seeing anything; the most scariest time in his life he says. He was able to stop and then had to sit on the side of the highway for four and a half hours waiting for the company to bring him a new truck.

I am so glad that he is ok and I still am fearful for him. He tells me not to worry but how can I not? People at work tease me when I kiss him goodbye in front of where I work but damn it, it could be that last time I see him! I think that but I never believed it until last night.

If I look at the up side of this accident (because that is what it was) I am thankful that he is ok and if he wasn't there to stop that ice it could have hit a car, causing a lot more then just damage to a vehicle.

That is scary. I am glad he is ok. You should live life like it is your last moment, we never know what is planned for us. Report Inappropriate Comment

Almost done

Thursday, February 11, 2010

The shower is almost done. All the tiles are down and now I have to grout. Tonight after shopping I am going to make sure all the lines are clean and then seal the floor tile and hopefully tomorrow night I can put the grout down on the floor.
I am so close I can almost feel the shower water! HA!

workouts

Tuesday, February 02, 2010

Do woman burn more calories then men? My husband and I compare our workouts when on the treadmill to see who burns more calories. I always seem to beat him (not by much but maybe 50 calories) but he runs a bit longer and farther then I do.
So does it have to do with men vs women?

I always thought that the number of calories you burn depends on how much you weigh and how much lean muscle versus fat your body has... I don't know how trust worthy those counters on gym equipment are... I have heard good things about The Body Bugg... which you put on your arm and it electronically tracks your calories burned, but it is suuuuuper expensive. Around $250... so look into that for you and your husband then you can put to rest who burns more calories. :) Report Inappropriate Comment
