Josee and her pumpkins
Well it’s October 2009 and around my farm, it’s time to take the garden out. So that means, pulling and digging out all the left over veggies. This year’s hall has carrots, beets, potatoes, spaghetti squash, beans and even some tomatoes. But the annual haul would not be complete if I did not plant and grow pumpkins. My daughter Josee was born 3 minutes to Halloween, so ever since she was born, I have grown pumpkins in her honour. And being the ceremonious girl that she is, it is very important that her and I pull them from the garden, and set up a nice fall display up on our porch. I love this time of year, especially when we get a nice sunny Sunday to get the yard in shape.
Now speaking of getting in shape, Everest is only 26 days away… eeks! And after a good week of workouts, some on the road (I was in Orlando last week) some at home. Kevin, my husband had a moment watching TV and bought himself a workout program from an Infomercial. So we(the entire family) is now doing the Tony Horton’s 10 minute Cardio/Core training program in our newly set up gym in what I call my husband’s (penile extension) that is his shop that holds all the other toys he loves, you know dirt bikes, quads, boats, power tools…. and now the new gym. But the truth is, the workouts are great. Fun, hard, get’s your heart going and makes me laugh, so all in all a great way to sweat. Combined with some good hikes this week, my body is starting to feel fit.
One thing I know is, it will be very hard for either of us to get any altitude training in, so the fact that we are landing at 9700 vertical feet, and hiking to about 17,900 vertical feet. Well it’s just going to be hard!
This week’s progress:
Weight: 169 lbs
Measurements: Waist 36” Bust 41” Hips 42”
Attitude: Excellent, even after realizing how much money buying all the ‘gear’ you need for a trek to Mount Everest. Till next week.
