Goal: Average 3 Miles a day for a total of 93 miles and on Sunday and Wednesday-I will do the complete Tone Every Zone workout.
Well, the scale is finally moving again and my jeans have gotten very loose. I am re-energized!!! I have lost my "winter weight" .... finally! Now I am going after the COVID pounds!!! :grumble: I am making a plan for June!!!
Oh no @AnnofB ! That is such a tender area to hurt! We really can't walk in the woods in boot cut jeans (or any jeans for that matter) in the north because of the deer ticks and the threat of Lyme disease. Maybe that is a good thing???? :laugh: I hope you heal up quickly!
Walk Strong Everyone!!! :bigsmile:
Congrat's on taming that scale! That's got to feel great.
Yep, that did hurt like the dickens. We have ticks here too. I use a spray called Repel and it does a good job. My dog takes a pill every month and he isn't bothered by ticks or fleas. Wish they would make a pill like that for us!0 -

@zichab We had a cool snap here today and it was only 61F! I was so happy, I opened the windows for a bit! It did cool my house down which I loved. Got the blanket back out for the sofa, sipped on hot coffee and read my book. I'm soaking it up before the heat comes back in! And congrats on your scale moving in the right direction!
Oh @AnnofB I really hate to hear about your injury! So unfair that we get hurt when we're minding our own business. Then it makes us have to change our workout routines, too. But I'm glad you've enjoyed the Pilates. It's so neat how it works different muscles, I love that exercise burn!2 -

Thank you. It did at least get me out of that rut and I agree, it really is great how Pilates can make a difference just with body weight.2 -
I am posting now and will go back later to read everyone's posts for the month. I will respond later on today or tomorrow, otherwise I will never enter my post, and I do want to actually do this during May 🙄.
I'm not sure exactly why I hadn't posted this month. There have definitely been a variety of things going on, and some difficulties as well. One major thing is that I promised myself not to get on the computer, or at least MFP, at night time and to figure out when to post during the day. Well, I definitely did not post at night, but obviously I never figured out when to post during the day. My looking at email at nighttime was also included in my new rule 😲. On the positive side I am forcing myself to go to sleep earlier😴 more often. Although I did start coloring to get some wind-down time sometimes. I received my second vaccine two 1/2 weeks ago. So that is finally done. I've been really struggling with the arthritis flare ups this month. And we finally had to replace our refrigerator, as it seemed to be wise to do so now, before it finally gave out, as the signs were there that it could be soon enough. That was an experience we haven't had to go through for over 25 years.
Thankfully we've recently had more rain than usual, including a huge storm this past Friday. The boy down the street said it looked like the Discovery Channel (meaning the nature shows) outside. Indeed, I have not experienced so much lightening/ thunder/ wind at one time in many, many years! Yes, we did lose the power, but only for over night. However a few hours after it was finally restored a transformer somewhere up the street fried, and the whole street lost power for several hours. One of our neighbors said that it lit up the sky when it fried. We could smell it all the way down to the end of our street, and heard it as well.
My goal for this month will once again be to keep moving by using the rebounder, walking (mostly) indoors, using the Gazelle, or working outdoors🌻 🍂. I'm also adding in, only when appropriate, time spent working or deep cleaning in the house or outside, only if it is something more physically active/ or challenging for whatever the reason.
I've been adding in some various light strength exercises for my arms during April. During May I'm adding in some experimental strength exercises for my legs also.
I will post only the moving minutes and activities but not strength minutes/ activities (I'm keeping track on my calendar). This is all experimental as holding weights can be difficult for me because of my thumb issues/ weakening grip and the leg ones are going to be determined by what my ankles/ feet allow. What I will do will vary depending on how my joints are cooperating, as well as attempting to add variety and different exercises and degree of difficulty.

@texasgardnr You sure have had a lot of things keeping you busy! I think that was a great idea to stay off the computer at night. It's better to wind down in the evenings and have good sleep without all the electronic things to keep us up. I love coloring, too, but I seem to find 900 other things to do instead! Maybe I'll try to add that into my goals for next month.

wow, @mypinkbikini , You've been through the physical and emotional wringer with the job change and in between your two vaccines and so on. Thank you for sharing with us. Hugs 💗 . I do hope that as I do my catch up reading that things have leveled out for you.
@zichab you wrote to @mypinkbikini : "In addition, we have all been through a very trying historical time both from a political and a public health perspective, so even the most well adjusted among us have not gotten through this past year without some emotional ramifications. Give yourself some grace and if you can get in one mile of focused exercise, call it good! As Leslie says, every mile helps!"
Well said for all of us. Thank you! It has been rough in many ways for all of us 💐.
BTW, you are rocking the Tone Every Zone workouts 🤸♀️
@VeggieGirlforLife Hugs for the ongoing plantar fasciitis issues. You definitely do soldier on... and on!
Welcome @wtbarunner and @ra6094 it is good to see you both here! I hope that you will join in with us in June.
@Deeder522 You are doing great with your meal size portions! Let us know how you fared with your Apple Watch Challenges.
Oh, no 😥 @AnnofB I'm sorry to read about your hand and the sudden fall. It is good that you didn't need any stitches and wasn't injured more than you were. I'm glad that you didn't stay down like a dead cedar tree 😱😮 (I couldn't help that comment 🤐 😵) Hugs 💖.
@RisingAboveIt hope that all is well with you 🌼 . Great start to your month!!
@ra6094 I write my daily workouts in a 2 year "See It Bigger" 'monthly' planner that I found at Walmart. The date squares are lined on all four sides and everything is a larger size so it works well for writing notes. And there are a variety of covers to choose from. The paper quality is good and for me so is the layout. I hope that they are available again as I'm on the second year.
I broke my May rule about not getting on the computer in the evening, but I wanted to write a sort of quick post. We are set for possibly more storms and if we lose electricity again I most likely won't be able to post for a while.
Everyone did amazing with mileage and various workouts. A very inspiring May! I enjoyed reading everyone's posts.
See you all in June 🏃♀️.

Great for the spirit, but not for my mileage!
On to June!
Walk Strong Everyone! :bigsmile:
