Good Morning Everyone! (or afternoon, evening, midnight)
I did not want to get up and get walking this AM but I did it anyway.
I achieved 100% fat burn on my walk according to my fitbit. I am excited for Sunday as I am going to go to my friend's gym and she's going to make sure I kick my own backside on those work out machines! It's going to be great!
Anyway, time by the creek was just what I needed.
Someone tagged (graffiti) the sign for our rec center. It must have happened over night because it wasn't like that before. The gate closes at 9 pm but there are two neighborhoods that can enter into the rec center if they really wanted too, three if you include ours. The sidewalk isn't blocked as far as I'm aware, and anyone can go on foot.
How's your weather?

Do you want to lose weight. You can drink warm lemon water before you exercise. You will burn fat faster

I want to do more than just lose weight, I also want to get fit. I used to drink warm lemon water before I exercised, but I keep forgetting to pick lemons up from the grocery store.
I am on a low carbohydrate diet.

Please don't get her started talking about her keto diet! We'll never get her to stop!

@ScribbledAdNauseum I hope you won't forget next time. Keeping fit is great but it has more to do with what you consume. Vegetables and fruits will give you best results

Oh no! I'm sorry. I hope it will dry up soon and you can get out tomorrow.

@LadyDuck Oh no! I hope you'll have nice weather in the coming week then. Our rain chances aren't until Monday-Thursday. I believe we had chances this weekend but they updated the weather.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Still raining and it seems that we are not going to see the sun before Monday.

That tagging is sickening.
I am so glad you achieved so much Amber.
It is a beauty today but I am occupied with things I do not want to do.

I saw the tagging but didn't get a good look at it. The man washed it away efficiently, as when I came back up the path it looked like a brand new sign.
Yes, very sickening!
I hope your tasks will finish quickly so you can enjoy the rest of the day.

It is very hot here today too. I have not walked since this morning, but I may walk later today.

@CarolDM Yes, or a bright and sunny day with a nice breeze. Heat on your back from the sun, but a cooling breeze to keep us content.

@Laurakemunto We joke here in North Carolina that all four seasons can visit us in the span of a week.

It has been hot, but it should be cooling off shortly. I am looking forward to that.

Yes, same here, and very breezy. We have the AC on and I am freezing.

What did you paint on the sign? I hope it wasn't a big peepee. That would be so tacky.

@DaddyEvil She'd (whichever she it is) would have to drive a half an hour after work, so nope that didn't happen lol
On a side note, I think I recognized the woman I spoke to for a few minutes this morning, but I'm also fairly certain it was just her twin. (not her real twin - but they looked very similar).

I find it hilarious you think I'd walk back to the rec twice in one day!
Plus, it's scary outside so late at night! 1 person likes this

@ScribbledAdNauseum I bet you'd do it on a dare, though. Is that what happened? One of your friends said she'd walk with you if you'd paint a big peepee on the sign?

Rain off and on is good, at least it helps keep things cooler.

The gym sounds like a good choice for you along with the walking. I hate people that vandalize property! Yesterday we had rain all day; and the temps were in the low 50s. Today about the same with a chance of rain and 57.

Our temps will start getting into the 70's during the day and 50's at night. I think the rain chances are between 40 and 80 percent for the most part, and those will be Monday-Thursday.
Yes, I can not wait to go to an actual gym and use the equipment. I'm aware it will be a lot of hard work, but I think it will be worth it. I am wondering though, since she told me to be prepared to have my behind kicked, if she's going to have me do one of her HIIT (high intensity interval training) classes with her.

@LindaOHio We're going to do stretching. I think I'll be okay because I do walk a lot, and up inclines. My body has gotten used to those. I am going to spend tomorrow walking a little more but also giving my body time to rest too.

That's great that you did it anyway! Hope you will have a great time at the gym. It would be nice to be able to use machines, I agree. Glad time by the creek was what you needed, and you got that.

I am seriously considering joining a gym, it's just a matter of not knowing when / if I'll be able to get there every week. I'd probably only do it for as long as it took to get in shape and get down to my preferred weight.
But that hydromassage chair sounds heavenly. My friend said her location will let the guests use it too, but technically it's not allowed. We're most likely going to go to the location nearest me.

@MommyOfEli2013 I like the idea of 24 hr gyms to be honest. I'm sure a lot of the more uncomfortable people or socially awkward people (like us) would be going in the middle of the night. I'm a little nervous about being around others tomorrow, but I'll be with my best friend so that will help.
I'm sure she'll keep me distracted. Yes, most gyms are too expensive! Don't they realize that they'd get more people if they'd lower their prices?

@ScribbledAdNauseum That is understandable, and if you want to I hope you can! Even if you would only do it long enough for that. I would like to be able to use some machines too....I found out we have a 24/7 gym in the next town but the fee is $30 a month. If it was $10 I might have considered joining.
That chair does sound nice.....that's great that your location will let guests use it. Strange that it wouldn't be allowed technically.....but hope the location near you will allow it

Yep, my area of NC is supposed to see rain this weekend, and we'll be cooler after that.
