Well!! Managed to go for a gorgeous walk up a bloody big hill. My watch tells me I climbed 55 stairs worth

Ok, Happy Saturday to all!!! ((hugs)) Busy day today. Just finished a 35 minute "run" or ralk if you prefer (3mph). LOL. Am having a quick cuppa then off to get ready to go HEBing and run errands. Then back to clean house, have a repair dude coming to fix our shower and bath plumbing. Ugh. Hate having workmen in the house!

Read a book: I got this book as a gift from a friend, long ago. And I pulled it out last night and am actually starting to read some of it.

Staying in tonight with Mr. F. and finishing binge-watching the "Dead To Me" series with Christina Applegate. So so so good! Will grill salmon and asparagus and have our fav avo/tom salad.

Have a great day everyone!!

Road trip today. I’ll still go for a walk after we check into our hotel. We should get there early evening depending on border traffic. The place we are staying tonight is right on Lake Huron so it looks like a great place to go for a walk.

Went for a hike this morning and got to the top of the hill where the flag is......as u can imagine, I rarely do so.
Also got a picture of the sun rising.

Went to spin class afterwards for my cardio Tabata!! Phew[emoji27][emoji27][emoji27]

B side: My husband, brother and sister in law and I went on an adults only vacay in Turks and Caicos earlier this year in February. It was such a fantastically beautiful time. It was not a busy time and we just RELAXED in the resort and had all our needs catered to. I miss it and THAT feeling.

Oops, posted my picture in the wrong spot!

Good news, I dropped a little weight this morning, so I'm not so close to my upper 130 lb limit ?

Because of this challenge I walked to my dry cleaners this morning. I would normally just drive since I'm going to be out and about running errands anyway. So I'm halfway to my mile goal today.

Work has been crazy, so I'd love to be back in Barbados, laying on the beach, under an umbrella, being brought rum drinks in coconuts ? (doesn't hurt that the drink vendors are gorgeous either!)

Made it to Canada, super easy trip. Walked 2 miles after dinner. Granted we walked to Tim Hortons but I only got a decaf coffee!

B side. Anyplace I’m missing.. My hometown Madison, WI. I love that place.

Pretending it is Saturday - walked in the park close to my house. Longest walk since surgury in June. Still under MD not to sweat and no exercise. It ‘twas slow. Missing New England cooler weather and hikes. Fun fact: all DC residents are 10 minute walk from a park. Lucky my close park is big and green!!!

Hope it's not Rock Creek Park. hehe

Good morning everyone!

Dropped a little weight again this morning. Back to my normal maintaining weight, so feeling better about that. But drank a ton of calories last night, so might get an upward bounce in a couple of days as a consequence, we'll see.

Today's challenge, take a bubble bath. I might get in my hot tub as a substitution, or might not, it's pretty freaking warm here!

Good Afternoon Team:

Today's challenge item includes taking a bubble bath (I have to take a bubble shower because I'm still in the perioperative stage ?)

B-Side Question:

What are your absolute favorite bath/shower products or routines?
