    Good Evening Everyone!

    Today has been a very busy day! I even went for my first official walk of the year. Hadn't planned to do the whole distance but felt so good. I have been planning a challenge that I am doing in a group. I am surprised how much work is going into it. How inspired I feel when I read over what I have written. I am so excited about leading it but extremely nervous as well. This is giving me good practice in positive self talk.

    @Wallahalla,, OOPS!! Though I'd DO SNACKS ANY DAY OVER SNAKES!!
    @Bookienj,,, I enjoy the peacefulness when I am on my own. LOL Today I've had so many texts I WANNA SCREAM SO BADLY!! Sadly if I do, LOL they both might hear it!! Though one is upstairs 3 floors in the other wing, and the other person is in the building next door. Its good to be loved of course. But the peacefulness of grabbing a book on a walk,, ahhhh nice!! Glad you get to enjoy that!!
    @Cseguin2 ,, what a LOVELY area you get to walk in!!! Have FUN with the challenge!! Love it when I feel motivated!! I HAVE been feeling that this time around ,, for the weight loss. I kept my goal at a simple 50% or at least 25%. I'll likely hit the 50%! WTG on setting goals and reaching them as you are doing!! INSPIRING!! TY TY TY!!

    Good Evening Everyone!

    Today was cold but sunny. Had a productive day! Studied, went for a short walk as it was just to cold, got my dishes almost caught up, and some laundry done. Also worked on the challenge a bit and played cards with Hubby.

    @Patti241 ,, WOOHOO On combing both errands and exercise!!! I call it "exercise with a purpose." Hope you got some good bargains!!
    @Bookienj ,,, It was in many ways. How was your day? Where you able to get out today or was also so COLD out? LOL It was SO COLD!!! Not that I really minded that much. We know I'm MUCH happier in the ❄than I in the ☀🌡(heat).
    @Cseguin2 ,,,Its almost 6:15 PM (EST) and its 23 (I think our high was 33) feels like 9,,, highest I saw the wind chill today was 21) going down to 1 F. I can EASILY understand why you kept it really shot outside. THINK of the 🌷⚾🌺💐cause it'll be here before we know it!! For Maine usually we really notice it starting mid April for some flowers to start to come up, but lately not til May for leaves to really POP out on the trees.

    How are you feeling about the Winter Challenge and how you did?

    I had set in my mind what I wanted to lose, knowing I DO NOT lose quickly,,, and WOOHOO I am RIGHT on schedule, if not a tiny bit ahead of time. I have my EYES on the 50% Weight loss badge the Positively Strong 4 Life team makes

    Rained on and off all day. Today is rest weigh and TOPS day. Gained 7.5 lbs🙄. I knew I was struggling but not that much. Oh well. Once I get everything back on track, finish dealing with Mom's stuff and find my new routine that works maybe I will reach that goal. Loaded up on veggies and fruit at the store between the rains.

    Sound great and nice to hear from you!

    @Bookienj,,, SO COOL you have Weds walking buddies!! Are you interested in more people to walk in? I belong to Next Door, I am sure if you do and put up a post you'll get some results. Or check to see if there's another way to find them. OH NO DOUBT there are quite a few. Or just simply do as I did ,,, ask your friends and neighbors.
    @Wallahalla,, LOLOL Okay that one I CERTAINLY DID LAUGH HARD!
    @Cseguin2 ,, GLAD you are taking care of your back!! WOOHOO on the weight loss!! Hey GREAT JOB!! AND also on the insurance etc being taken care of.

    I made some honey mustard chicken strips for supper. OH MY SO SUPER GOOD!!
    rtshs0arpt4i.jpg

    By making it myself the sodium was so LOW!! On the other hand the sugar (honey) was higher, but I am okay with that. Well for today. LOL!

    Wow! They look yummy!

    Good Evening Everyone!

    Today has been a busy productive day. The sun was out but freezing till almost noon. Got my walks in this afternoon between walking to my clients and the grocery store. This challenge was hard for me. Ended with weighing more than my starting weight. Oh well guess I could call this maintenance. With everything that has happened during the challenge I am happy with how I did and that it wasn't worse. Almost ready to write my 3rd exam. The second one has not been graded yet but that's ok. Have my Son till Tuesday afternoon so it will be interesting.

    I believe it is right under the introduction. Did it this morning so not exactly sure I am remembering correctly but I know it was before the announcements and discussion thread.

    Good Evening Everyone!

    Today has been a great day! Finished studying and wrote my last exam for this section. Now to wait for my next set of books. My son and I went for a walk this afternoon while it was still sunny and a decent temperature. Visited my friend and got an update on her husband. He has improved but is still not out of the woods yet. Has along way to go just to be on the mend. Also exercised and am playing Windsoropoly. Last night made fish tacos. Never cook fish that has not come from a box but it was awesome LoL 🤣.

    Good Evening Everyone!

    I didn't have any issues with joining the spring challenge.

    Today has been a good day. Some movement and chores. Also played Windsoropoly and Mario Kart. I was able to work on getting my challenge ready for the 15th as I am on a study break till my books come in. Tonight's dinner is a repeat of Friday as it was a hit with all of us and is easy. Hubby wanted BLT's but no bacon.
