    Thanks @superfood75! She's much better, but I picked up her cooties. Eating's off. Haven't hit my exercise routine for a week. The weight has been bouncing a bit, but the 10 day average is steady, so that's a plus.

    Feeling better, and big activity day today. Our 30 year old shed was getting close to collapse, so it was demolished this morning. I got 2.5 hours of moderate cardio sorting thru the contents - bagging trash, getting stuff we're keeping ready to haul to a storage unit, and setting aside some for my son and daughter in-law. Major accomplishment - and my Fitbit showed decent cardio and peak heart rates!

    I'll get back to the challenge tomorrow!

    Day 23. I know today was a rest day, but I'm feeling a fluid bloat, so did a mini workout. 40 second plank, my pushups, lunges, and squats. We'll see if that helps

    I hope your bloating went away. I have been bloated myself. I have been eating foods I should shouldnt be eating. I did a food sensitivity test and got my results back.. Good job on the plank! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
