#23I- tried texting Ellie 123, I think she must be doing so good she has gone inactive. Good for her but I miss her on here! ?

23. I actually have a plan to call a friend this evening which I think will be way better than texting. So much quicker and easier! Well, maybe not quicker depending on how long we chat for... lol. Rest day on the glutes and abs! Yay! Still, did go to the gym this morning and got my cardio and some upper body work done.

Texted a friend, went to the gym and did cardio. Making my favorite dinner tonight.

Phone off challenge is always hard but I avoided it for a long time

Healthy recipe made was a soup

I have been thinking about my 5 year plan a lot lately...

Texted an old friend but kinda wished I didn't LOL

Welcome Welcome

24. Ok, just finished my plank and lunges for today. There are so many ways to be creative. Right now, I'm on day 2 of an intermittent fasting trial so I've been having to be creative about getting all my protein in in a shorter amount of time. Also, I'm being creative as I consider ways to get more exercise in today - shall I garden, do a Body Groove session, or what later today? Or maybe I'll take a walk during my lunch break. All because my fitbit didn't acknowledge how much time I exercised at the gym this morning. Silliness I know but there it is.

24) be creative. I have a rare few hours completely to myself. I haven’t decided how I’m going to use it yet. I might be totally creative or totally decadent and take a nap on this rainy day. Could go either way folks ?

#23 Text an Old Friend

I'm going to count something I did two weeks ago for this one: About 2 weeks ago, I re-connected with an old high school friend over Instagram, of all places. Prior to meeting up for lunch soon after texting, we hadn't seen nor spoken to each other in over 23 years. And it was great because it was as if we had not been apart for so long, we just picked up where we left off. I love those kinds of friends. ♥️.

#24 Be Creative

My attempt at being creative will be to make dinner for the fam out of different leftovers and ingredients that are about to expire in the fridge

Let us know how the "Use things up" works, if nothing else make Garbage Soup, that's what my Aunt Wilma called it, but often it was pretty doggone good.

Lunges and plank (in 2) done, plus full workout at gym. I was not creative today, hopefully I’ll make that one up this week.

• Finished a "indoor " walking video. Will stretch afterwards.
• Now to the 40 squats and crunches. Squats are okay. I still have a weak stomach, she does not like crunches! Lol! Or maybe its just me that doesn't like crunches!!

#25 Stretch

Heading to the gym now for Hot Yoga...will get like an hour’s stretching in there

25. Happy Sunny Day! Squats, crunches, and stretches completed as well as the daily trip to the gym. Looks like a beautiful day outside. Enjoy!
