On Tap for this Weekend

Happy Memorial Day!

My Cammy-Do list for the weekend is several pages long, and it's getting off to a s-l-o-w start. My legs are just about done in from tonight's exericse. I think I'll do a lot of "sitting and sorting" projects tonight. :)

If I may brag just a moment, I not only walked for 30 minutes after lunging and squatting and leg-curling and mountain climbing and planking for 45 minutes, but I also challenged myself to climb these steps near the end of the walk. I'm glad I did because it turned out they weren't that bad--just steep. :)

As I mentioned, lots to do this weekend: gardening tomorrow, mostly cleaning out weeds and such. Tomorrow afternoon I'll try to work in a walk, depending on how the gardening and a couple of other projects go. If I can't fit the walk in, I'll be more than glad to count several hours of vigorous yard work as my Daily Do.

On Sunday, I hope to start the day with a 10-mile bike ride. I also hope to primer and paint one bedroom wall to make sure I like the color once it dries. (Lessons learned) And maybe while the paint dries, I can finally replace my ratty mailbox. Hmm, now that I think about it, a coat of paint for it would be a good thing too.

Monday's exercise will be with the trainer and probably the same park I went to tonight. If the Sunday painting happens, I'll continue that project on Monday. Plus, as always, there's laundry and such to be completed.

I kind of wish I hadn't typed all that out. I feel myself fading already! Uh-oh, this calls for a motivation/reward plan, and I think I'll use reading your blogs during my rest breaks as a reward! That will inspire me!

Now I jut have to figure out how to keep myself from just sitting here and doing that all day long anyway. :)

A safe and happy Memorial Day to all!

Phew! You have reminded me that I have loads of plants that need to go in the ground ..... but weeding is required first. We might be gardening on opposite sides of the world this weekend ... if our weather improves.

I LOVE the posts where people pat themselves on the back for missions accomplished.

Go you!

Have fun this weekend with all your "chores." And take some time for you, because you deserve it!!

Have some fun too!

I like the term "Daily Do" much better than "workout".

Happy Memorial Day!

I have spent so many years avoiding stairs at all costs...just too hard to hurl my butt from one step to another! Maybe someday. Congratulations on your exercise...you are an inspiration.

Sounds energetic just reading about it! I am a brand newbie blogger, just at the start of my journey and barely able to walk up and down one flight of stairs at the moment without getting out of breath, so I think it might be a while before I am able to do this much exercise.

Woah, I need some of what you're having Cammy! Those stairs look seriously scary! Well done you. Hope you're having a lovely weekend

Wow!! You are such a motivator...and I love that you climbed the stairs at the end of a tough workout...I need to find me a staircase like that!

Wow, those steps look daunting! How cool that you challenged yourself like that.

It sounds like you've got quite a list developing of "Cammy-do" items, but keeping busy is good. I hope you have a good time doing everything.

Enjoy the weekend!

Wow, that does not sound like a nice relaxing weekend at all! LOL Don't forget a little down time. You are making me start to feel guilty. I've already done my workout this morning, but now you have me thinking I should go take a walk......hmmmmmmmm :::whine::: but I'm on vacation!!!!

Hope you got some "me" time in that long "to do" list as well. Nice job on the stairs ... those would kick my a**. So what color did you paint?
