#3 Learn Something New: Ok, so I'm tired of spending money on eyelash extensions. I love them, as I don't feel the need to wear any mascara or eyeliner when I have them on. I wake up in the morning and bat my eyelashes in the mirror and feel beeee-u-ti-fuI (everyone should try it at least once...I did and was hooked, and I only get the natural looking kind, not the thick "glamour" ones). Anyway, I am an eye-rubber so I tend to rub those babies off prematurely and have to get refills, so the $$$ adds up (the Kid, on the other hand, managed to have her first one last for almost 4 months - she is definitely NOT an eye-rubber).

Anyhoo...so today, the something new I (actually the Kid and I) are going to learn is how to do lash lifts (i.e., lash perms) on my eyelashes with this kit I bought. I had lash lifts done before I was doing extensions, and the results are pretty good, not as good as extensions, but good enough; lifts are also less expensive than extensions. But...if I/we do it at home, its even cheaper! Cross your fingers that my lashes don't get fried. Or fall off. Or I go blind.

Okay, the 4th is Exercise, refresh my memory on what #3 is, want to do this in a successful manner, really be committed, now and in the future. These challenges make you freshen up your plans, and also you do feel a part of a group, even if our journeys differ we can wave at each other on the pathway.

Day 3 - Learn something new: On today's schedule are a couple of events at my church... one new (a talk from our Bishop) and one old favourite (Lenten Soup supper & prayer service). I'm interested to hear what the Bishop will have to say and hope that I will learn something new from him. :)

I’ve said earlier that I’ve gotten my paints out. Today I’m really trying to learn how to glaze in watercolor properly. A bit boring but very exciting and rewarding to me 🖌🎨

Ok, so I'm signed up for a course that begins in May that will increase my skills at work but will also be transformative for me. And today, at my follow up, I learned that I can take fibre supplements if I feel the need. They were very pleased with me so that made me feel good and one of my clients complimented me today.

And, I did my crunches and squats for the day! Even made it to the gym between the follow up and my first client at work today so that makes me feel good.

I'm loving the fitness challenge. The new thing I learned today was the correct form for a crunch. I've been watching basic videos on YouTube to make sure I'm doing exercises safely and correctly.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
