Doing better today. Got the cardio in.

There are a few hikes I'm interested in (probably a bit further than 40 minutes, but still fairly close) that won't be melted out until at least July. It seems like so long to wait!

I think tomorrow I want to go back to listing plans for the day   Today, I decided to walk around a lake. Altitude foiled my plans. Why is it still winter 40 minutes from my house?!   The drive was beautiful, and there's a park near my home with a walking loop I've wanted to check out, so did that. It was really nice.   It was less than half an hour, but between reading outside yesterday, and going for a walk today, I think I've slightly burned my forearms and forehead. This tells me two things. 1. I need to grab some sunscreen TOMORROW  2. I really need to spend more time outside.    Wasn't productive after that. Played Enshrouded. Watched YouTube, got stuck scrolling through shorts WAY too long. I'm good with not getting much done, but would like to be more productive tomorrow.    Debating between going to another park I've wanted to see, and visiting an art museum. I think I'll let the weather decide; if it's raining when I get up, I think I'll go to the park.    

Thanks for sharing this. 

Ok doing yesterday and today as I'm now away for a singing weekend!  Office yesterday and chorus after - had an exam (that I passed, woo but stress!) so I had some Turkish delight that were emotionally required.  Today was a bit of a faff - drove to the Midlands but the place I booked didn't have parking, and hadn't been cleaned and I had to join some work calls, so after trekking there with bags, I trekked back to the conference centre to finish work. Thankfully they refunded me and a friend is joining tomorrow so I have their bed for the night, and have booked a night in this hotel for tomorrow, and crashing in ANOTHER person's room the last night(!) Had some comfort food but then got a sensible dinner instead of pub food.   Yesterday: 🇹🇷 5pts 🏃‍♀️ 5pts 🚶‍♀️5pts 🌞 5pts 🛏️ 10pts Today: 🍜 0pts 🏃‍♀️ 5pts 🚶‍♀️5pts 🌞 5pts 🦵 5pts ➰ 5pts 🍑 5pts💡 0pts Total: 950pts

This week has been a busy one again! Yesterday I saw my regular doctor and she was thrilled with my weight loss from last year,  and she likes my diet and exercise plan. She should because it's the one she recommended   But it was a relief to see her and have her say that everything looks good for now. I feel like I can relax.     Tuesday, I got my hair fixed up, so it looks really pretty, but it's just doesnt' feel like ME. I don't know why. It's perfectly good hair, but lately it feels like someone else's hair. Does that make sense?   My friend opened up a boutique for plus sized clothing! She and her cousin were tired of shopping for clothes online and having to return them and they figured other women feel the same. It's a really pretty little store, and I'm really excited for her. I went to the soft opening last night, and her parents were there, and I haven't seen them in years.  I hugged them both really hard and sat and talked to them for almost an hour and listened to how happy they were and how proud they were of my friend. We were best friends in middle school and we spent so much time sleeping over each other's houses and she and I joked that we shared parents. When I saw them, I felt so many things, and I don't really have the words for it. I'm so glad I got to see them.   Today I got the car inspected, took Dad to the gym and ran errands, my brother stopped by and then my aunt and uncle are coming for dinner tonight. After tonight, I have NOTHING on my plate for DAYS.  I also realized there's a wedding May 11, and I HAVE TO TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT, so summer vacation will start after the wedding.  I know the wedding cake topper has dogs on it! I wonder if their dog will be in the ceremony! I can't wait to find out! Well, I CAN because I have to find a wedding present!      

I hope your bum is better 

That's awesome you are wanting less sugar. There's hope 🤣 ok that's a good baseline. I'm also going to look at low carb cookbooks at the library to see if I can get some more ideas on meals and lunches.    Ok that's reassuring! 

Running 10 minutes   Added 1 minute.    I didn’t like the colour of the Gretsch guitar I bought so I will sell it. I bought one of these and really like the colour:     Note to self: no more guitars!

Just popping by to let you guys know that I'm still among the living. Lots of stuff going on and I basically didn't get around to posting, then got obscenely busy and just skipped this challenge. I'll try to stick around the next challenge and will update some of what's been up with me then and see if I can put together some stuff to focus on. Probably (shocking no one that's glanced at any of my other challenge threads) getting off my bum and walking LOL.
