Totally surprised me :noway: in the middle of the night since I hadn't looked at my weather app in the evening. But it did usher in the awesome 20 degree drop in temperatures for another burst of spring like weather for the weekend! Lots of wind for the next several hours so I'm getting the laundry washed to hang out on the line. I really like to make sure I use my clothes line when it is unusually windy.
], Awesome being on track with half way to goal and half way through the month! Well done!
April 14: 60 minutes, includes 1 mile - The Tone Every Zone Walk: both the upper and lower body strength circuits and the 20 minute fast walk. Plus extra stretching. I'll be cleaning house and working on my Declutterfest project today. Yay! I love to declutter :laugh:
Walk happy and enjoy your weekend!
:flowerforyou:
Love your enthusiasm, Mary. Tone Every Zone sounds like a stellar workout.
What you had yesterday, we are getting today. Possible tornadoes and for sure the temp will drop down into the upper 30's a few nights. I'm filling my garage, (it seems) with plants, tomato and Lantana, butterfly bushes and geraniums. I have a lot of digging in my future. But when the tomatoes come in, it's worth the sweat, isn't it?
I'm enjoying the De-cluttering board. So many good ideas there. Thanks for mentioning it.
Have a great Saturday.

Oh my gosh! What a month so far! LOL It's April 14 and we are in the middle of a winter storm with sleet, freezing rain and it is snowing at the moment!! :noway: Where are our spring showers that bring May flowers??? The poor trees and crocus do not know what to do!
I am so sorry to have been MIA, but my browser would not load MFP! I have been tracking on my iPad, but I can't reach the boards from the mobile app. I thought it would just clear up because all my other websites worked, but it didn't. I tried a different browser and had the same issue. Yesterday and today, I finally had time to search the web for fixes and after attempting several, found one that worked!!!! So, I am back on MFP in all my browsers. Honestly, computers make me so aggravated! :explode:
Anyway, it has been a crazy month so far and will get crazier! I have not had much chance to fitness walk as my DH is refinishing the hallway, stairs, living room etc floors and my DVDs are all in a box! A couple more days and I can get back to Leslie on beautifully refinished oak hardwood floors! YEAH!!!! I've almost got a gym now! :laugh: Because of the disruption in my household that will continue into next month, I am going to simply set a goal to walk at least 2 miles a day! For me this is low, but working out is on the back burner for the moment and will return when my world returns to normal-although, I am not sure exactly when THAT will be as more disruption is coming in May!
Life after 65 is crazy!!!! No wonder people retire! :laugh:
Goal-2.0 miles/day or 60 miles/month
4/1-13-Vivofit tracked 33.2-33.2 total miles
Welcome to all new walkers!!! It is nice to have you with us!
I am so sorry to hear about all the problems you have had since the accident VeggieGirl! This distracted driver stuff has to be dealt with much more severely. Yesterday, a lady passed me in the right hand lane and she had her phone on the steering wheel and was texting away! If a car stopped in front of her, she would have slammed right into it resulting in someone else being badly injured. I hope they find the person who hit you and dispense some serious justice!
Meanwhile, enjoy walking with all of us! 
Walk Strong Everyone! :bigsmile:3 -

Welcome back @zichab!
It can be so frustrating to have computer issues. I'm glad you were able to find a solution. Sometimes it takes patience and trial and error.
Sounds like your home is getting a lovely redo! I love working around my house, I've recently remodeled the entryway (with help) and the new floor is my favorite part.
Thank you for your kind words about the accident. It's amazing how bad you can get hurt just from getting rear-ended. Distracted driving is rampant everywhere and it's so dangerous. Hopefully I will heal completely from this, it's just going to take a lot of time. So glad I already knew about Leslie's workouts and I can easily modify upper body movement to stay on track with exercise.2 -
Tonight's achievement: 5 BOOSTED Miles!
51 out of 85 so far! 4 -
Ugh! I've been doing really good this week with eating, exercise and then today hit....Whamoo! So unbelievably off my counts for everything. So I fell off the wagon. tomorrow I'll pick myself up, dust myself off and run to get back up on the wagon.
@zichab : Glad to "hear" from you again. I've told several of my clients that we also with emotional technical support for when things happen to their computers.
@AnneofB : This weather isn't even for the birds. I felt bad for the raccoon who took up residence in our large maple tree. The hole where it's living is pointed to the east the same direction a good amount of this front is coming from. We could see the wind fluffing its fur.
I'm hoping to keep power through the night, it blipped off a little bit ago.2 -

Walk Slim: 4 Fast Miles
I love this one because of all the extra boosting. In fact, it seems like a 3 mile because it goes by so quickly. I enjoy that high energy.4 -
32/90 # Mile Weightloss Walk
Still my favourite 'quickie' walk.3 -
34/90 2 Mile Classic Walk3

April 1-8: 19.43
April 9-15: 25.37 Miles tracked
Current total: 44.8
Interestingly enough, the Step it up Challenge I'm doing with my local country Parks & Rec has me record my steps daily in a log. It shows for last week I walked 30.32 miles based on my steps. I'm wondering why there is just a difference. For example, last Tuesday I got 13,020 steps recorded. My watch/phone says that is 5.72 miles but the country P&R log says is 6.51? Weird.
After a bad weekend of eating I'm hoping to bounce back today. Off to do a mile or two. Walk strong everyone.2 -

You've really had some rough weather up there. Have to feel sorry for the wildlife in those conditions. We saw our first hummingbird on the 2nd of the month. Then had some really bad weather, tornadoes and such. It just seems to be a miracle that something so small can survive all that.
Keep walking strong 0 -

Hey Zichab!
Good to "see" you again. What crazy weather. One day it's 75 and the next we are lucky to make it out of the 30's. Though I have to admit, I'll be whining this summer when its in the 90's some I not quite on the band wagon for summer.
MFP was screwed up for a while. what with the hacking. Some people could use the app, some couldn't and a lot of features wouldn't work at all. So aggravating.
I bet your floor is beautiful. And what a great new surface for working out.
About retirement. You will wonder how you ever found time to work. The days go by faster, believe it or not. But I wouldn't trade it.
Good on you getting in the miles in the midst of a reno.
Have a great week.

@zichab, so happy to see ya! Missed you
. Yes... life after 65.... :laugh: right there with you except for the house remodeling right now, and the snow (in April). We finally had snow again after years without, this winter. The grandkids as well as my adult children were all over the moon about that lol.
I agree with @AnnofB: "About retirement. You will wonder how you ever found time to work. The days go by faster, believe it or not. But I wouldn't trade it. " So true, especially about the days going by faster and faster....
I loved everyone's posts since I posted on Saturday! All the activity, and all of the miles/minutes as well as all of the amazing posts and sharing- they have been wonderfully encouraging as well as fun to read. .
April 15: rest day
April 16: 65 minutes total - 2 miles: Miracle Mile mile 1 x two, upper and lower body strength sessions, two Walk Blasters for a cool down and stretch,
April 17: 4 miles - Walk Slim, Fast & Firm miles
Walking is good medicine for what ails us!
