Hello, my little chickadees. The sun is shining and all's well with my world.

@2020pinktogo May you have the stamina to withstand that 12 hour shift.
@MonicaA2013 Enjoy your day. May the sun shine on the festivities.
@danelutza19 I agree with you. I love my cardio. Glad to know you're building up your stamina.
@Kenda2427 Nice to know that the weather is more clement and you got started on the outside remodel.

I have pulled myself out of the doldrums. It takes me about a week in July to get my brain into gear for summer.

Happiness is an inside job!
Don't give anyone else that much power over your life.

Have a glorious weekend! Dear hearts!

My sister is home and Lord help us. The only day I took off for us to have girls day is Tuesday. Tuesday they made an apt and have decided mom needs a new hairstyle and coloring either highlights or lowlights. My mom is very depressed since grandma died. I can honestly say I think this is one of the worst ideas my sister has made. My mom loves her hair I do believe this is one girl's day I will skip and pick up my nephews and take them to open swim.

Today is a huge garage sale in a neighboring town. I mentioned that and I do believe we are all going to go do that if the weather holds. We had massive rain with thunderstorms last night. Right now it's dark and rumbly out we shall see.

Good morning flowers!!!

Happiness really is an inside job @TerriRichardson112 You're always so positive and inspiring, no doubt you will accomplish what you set out to do today!!!

@2020pinktogo sounds like you made past the long work day just fine and now you're gracefully dealing with you sister. Keep your cool and have fun with your nephews

Yesterday was almost perfect but late at night I loaded on some carbs. I felt a bit hungry throughout the day and once I was done training I realized I need some extra fuel to recover. Not ideal but since I do need a day of refeeding a week, I guess yesterday was that day. All other goals checked.

Today's a great day, started up with extremely good news so that helps the goal for today is to keep things in check macro wise. We're going to grill out again. I want to get my weekend cardio in, chin-ups and pull-ups, steps, water and good rest.

I have been enjoying a nice NSV this past week since I started doing pull-ups. Last year, my max were 4 in a row, these days I do that every day, twice a day. Yesterday's PR is today's warmup

Let's have a fabulous Saturday!!

My daughter came garage saleing with us. Ok I made sure I had lots of change and singles. Some how I ended up paying for her items. My sister kept saying how much her boys are like me. Well my daughter is so much like her. Here is my sister at a garage sale going do you accept checks? The homeowner turns to me and goes what do you think should I accept the check? I go to them as your bank person honestly I would not accept any out of state checks. This is my sister's check I know it's good but I will pay for it and she can write me the check. The homeowner smiled and goes thanks Sue I'll go tell her my sister comes over and goes I need some cash I hand it to her and at the next garage sale my daughter goes mom can you loan me some cash? It's not like it was an expensive day. Total of 20 mom took care of herself. My sister will pay me before she leaves she will swipe her card and get some cash. My daughter I am sure it was a mom thing but just maybe she will look at it and think mom bought that for me. It was a nice day but I came home and took a nap as I was exhausted.
