7-16-18 (Monday) Yardwork.

Today was a National Holiday, but we had a normal day of work.  But I didn't have my night class.  That makes two weeks in a row with no Monday night class.  I'm getting spoiled.  I was fully intending to do a regular resistance workout when I got home, but once again, I changed my plan because of the weather.  The weather was beautiful so I decided that I needed to cut the jungle that is my yard.  I hadn't touched it since before rainy season started and the weedy grass was almost chest high.  Also, I just bought a new hand mower and I was excited to try it out.  It took some doing to get it assembled, but once it was all put together, I was a mowing maniac.  Unfortunately, the grass and weeds were way too long for the little hand mower to affectively cut the blades down to size so I had to get the weed-wacker out and cut the long stuff down to about 7-10 cm.  Then, I was able to adjust the cutting depth and do some real damage.  It worked like a charm.  It was almost sunset by the time I finished so that was it for my workout today.  Plus, mosquitos had a buffet of my blood so I was pretty itchy.  I even had a bite on my lower lip. OUCH!  I wasn't wearing my HRM so not calorie count today.  But I would guess I burned around 400-500 kcals.  Not a bad day's work.
