Your Fired

Friday I came home from work and my yard was not done, see I am the last yard of the week. So I am thinking after years of having my yard done, because I was too FAT to do it myself. I figured if I can walk 2.5 miles, I can mow my own yard. So I fired the yard crew and got the mower out and mowed. This may seem like a simple task to many but since I was so FAT I could not do it without it taking me hours since I would have to mow a little and rest a lot, mow a little and rest a lot. When I mowed I edged, fertilized, and killed the bugs while I was out there. I did everything in 2.5 hours on a Friday night after working all day and walking 2.5 miles at lunch. Boy I love the LB. More money saved since I was spending $200 a month for yard care, add this to the $400 I am saving in food and I will take a nice vacation this year.

Hey Greg, Happy late birthday!!! I was worried about you because I have not seen you post in awhile. I guess I was worried for nothing, it sounds like you are doing fantastic!! 60 lbs that is awesome, doing your own yard work and walking man you are doing great. Have a great weekend! Bernadette

You know it is all how you look at it. I was not a self pay, but would have to change my life. I know it is a lot of money but even in the short term it is well worth it. Not to mention your health, you save every month. I did not realize being fat was costing me money, who knew.
