So far today (5/16/15) I'm at about 850 calories.
I spent the day with my mom putting flowers on graves of family members getting ready for Memorial Day.
I'm filling in for my father (not replacing) now that he's gone.
My parents have done this for many years and my mom wants to continue as long as she can. With her new knee (4/21/15), I did about half of the graves solo (but with guidance) because they were up too steep of embankments.
We had to go to 4 cemeteries across 2 counties. The last one was hard to find. 1 uncle and 1 aunt are all that's left that knows where it is (till today) and the directions given to my mom were very incomplete. Thanks to some nice people we stopped and asked, we found it and completed our flowers for this year. Next year I doubt it will be a problem to find, I am/was a Scout after all ;)
Also, next year we will probably be doing all of the flowers that my parent usually did.
My mom just couldn't this year.
Doing all of them takes 3-4 days and crosses at least 3 counties and several more cemeteries...
In a nut shell, I bet I burnt quite a few calories today (THANKS MOM!!).
In a few minutes, I'm planning on hitting the treadmill while watching Survivor.
Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!!!
