Happy Sunday, fitness peeps! 

I did another walk yesterday before the storms rolled in. Not sure what I will get up to today. Maybe a bike ride and some cleaning.

My second challenge starts tomorrow. Maybe I will do it. Maybe I won't. We'll see. Apparently you have all seven days and not five to get it done. Everyone got shortchanged according to the social media for Mossa so no one got the challenge badge.

Anyway, I will figure it out before the work week is here again. Probably going to make my roast veggies into a quiche and prep the fruit again. I also need to make hummus so firing up the Vitamix today too. 

Have a great Sunday!

 I biked yesterday. I have to remember to go earlier on Saturdays.. I went before 8 am but  the path was still crowded for my liking.   As summer approaches I'll need to get out early anyway..  Bike ride was still nice.

 I had planned to purge some drawers with old pj's etc in them- not worth donating. And I have many jackets to go through and some are good enough to donate. Did I do that- no.

 I went to a coffee meet up, took a walk, read some, talked to my plants, and took a short nap!!

  Today is definitely a long walk day..

Happy Sunday Kids!   It's a drizzling and chilly day here.   We are watching our Tigers team play the Cubs.   I feel like baking but if I do, I will eat it all, Im not kidding either.   I'm craving oatmeal raisin cookies.  

I'm taking a rest day today, but I know it will be a low calorie burn.  If I don't do anything I need to skip eating entirely for the day!  haha not happening!

Well my old spin bike finally sold on FB Marketplace!  yay!!!!  There was nothing wrong with it, but I don't need 2 bikes.  Now hubby says "you are not buying anymore fitness equipment"  I gave him the Salute!  I may sell my Jumpsport rebounder too, I have the Cellerciser and shouldn't have 2, even thought i do like the bungees, it's a soft bounce but you do have to draw the line sometimes.  

@violet runner I brought a giant bag to Salvation Army yesterday.  I have way to many jackets too, so I should go through that stuff.  

Hard to believe the 2nd week of June is approaching!

Enjoy the day!

Happy Monday! 

I am packed to go hiking after work today. New fitness challenges are also starting. We'll see, but I would like to keep up the weights one just for me. 

Meal prepped yesterday so I have a good lunch. I am ready to go. Took a walk yesterday. Time to get going. Hope this week is a little easier even with everyone now gone. 

Have a great week.

Good morning!

@Laura14  - I hope you have a good work week with little to no stress.

This morning I did a 25 minute walk.  Decided to increase it this morning by 5 minutes.  Will see how that goes.  We're having our typical June cool, foggy, mornings and I love walking early and hearing all the birds greeting the day.

Hope everyone has a good Monday!

[Laura14]

@JudyL Thank you. I had a really nice email from the coworker I worked with the longest who is no longer here. I figured no one would say goodbye to me since no one did on Friday and he's kept his distance ever since he turned in his resignation weeks ago. 

I've done things for people who leave which really weren't seemingly welcome so I did nothing this time.

It was nice of him to say thank you in a final email. It really made me tear up. No one ever does. I'll miss him, but I'm sure he'll do well in his own business.

Anyway, we had a quick rainstorm here and no one did their payroll except the one other person left standing from the old guard so it's going to be rough going forward.

I had a long time customer come in and he talked to me about everyone leaving. I mentioned I might not be here next and he pointed at me and basically said over his dead body which was also kind of nice. He said you keep everything together here. 

I have been trying to keep the tears at bay until I can get to my hike and then go cry in the woods. It's been a long time since anyone said thank you and acknowledged how hard I work.

And to top it all off? Guess what's supposedly coming on Friday? I knew as soon as I replaced everything they would ship out my orders just to spite me and cost me more money. Everything is supposed to be here on Friday so place your bets. 

I'll believe it when I see it. But thank you @JudyL  for letting me know contacting customer service was the way to shake it loose.

Hope everyone is having a good Monday.  My muddy hike is almost here! T minus two hours.

 @Laura14  it is nice to be appreciated and validated for your hard work.. Where ever work takes you next, you can take some satisfacton with you.

 I was a nurse for most of my working days so never really had to look for a job or get let go. There were numerous jobs all the time. Not sure it's like that now.. And believe me-I would not have chosen that path if I could go back and change things knowing what I know now..  I feel like I am a hard worker, but nursing was that and so much more..

  Way to go @JudyL - adding minutes to your walking. When do you chat with your surgeon?

   I got in a nice bike ride.. Longest yet since hip replacement.. It was a perfect riding day.

  Now I am doing chores like I told myself I would.

@Laura14  I am gearing up to make mint jelly.. my mint in 2 different containers is going crazy.. I haven't made a batch in many years..  I know it's alot of sugar, but when only taking a tbls.at a time- I can justify it.

@violet runner - Spoke with my Dr on Friday - see post from 6/6 - and have an appt on 6/27.  As I told my brother this morning, if I"m not leaping buildings in a single bound by the 27th, I'm sure the decision will be for me to have the manipulation.

Happy Monday!   Pouring here and cold.   I did a 20 minute spin, and a 10 minute meditation and stretch.  Still being a shuttle bus driver, it's getting to me!   This whole week is nuts, I might as well live in my car.  And a funeral on Friday morning. 

@Laura14  I'm so glad you got some recognition, you work your tail off!  

@violet runner My sister in law went birding on Sunday and came home with ticks on her.   Umm no thank you!

@Dazlin I'm getting worried about you, hope you are okay.

@JudyL I wish I could get out of bed with the birds, I do my best sleeping then!

I think this weather is affecting my joints too, achy back and legs.

Well I think I am carrying the "black cloud" around haha, time to say good night!   This too shall pass.

Good Morning, everyone! 

Couldn't sleep so I am up and getting my laundry done. 

Did my hike after the thunderstorm yesterday in the mud with the deer and turtles on the trail with me. It was kind of nice.

I'll do something tonight after work. Probably one of the strength classes. I am a little sore, so I might just do the core class since it's shorter. 

Hope everyone has a great day. I am back to the day job. Pray for me... 🤣

Okay, I'm back. Since I got up so early, I did my first Power class in the challenge. I noticed they picked two different ones this week so maybe we'll get our badges. 

Off to get ready for work. Happy Tuesday!
