FitPoints Today -- 600

Gardening and mowing the lawn for 2 hours earned me a bunch of points according to Fitlinxx. Since it is mostly aerobic work, the points count as well as if I were walking and cycling.

I'm beat, and I haven't even finished the mowing. I guess that's what I get for having a large yard.

Diet Rock (Humor)

I got this via an email from a friend. Thought it might do well here on the Health and Fitness Log.

Diet Rock

I am a little diet rock, as cute as I can be.
Although I’m sweet to look at, I’m both fat and sugar free.

When you get up each morning, lift me high into the air.
Then set me on the floor 10 times.

Before sitting on the chair, please place me on the table,
At the place YOU plan to eat.
And remember I am watching what YOU do and what YOU eat.

When you are serving up your plate, please leave my section free.
I’ll reduce the calories, by the space you saved for me.

After you have eaten, although I’m just a rock,
please slip me in your pocket, and take me for a walk.

If YOU do this faithfully, then in a month or two,
although I’ll still be just the same, YOU’LL be a slimmer you!
