My word for 2022 is "continue"--I have lots of good habits and want to continue them.

Thank you Barbie! A fresh new start!
I did roughly half my dumbbells. Yay! I had paused for two weeks so I'm starting slowly again. I have to remember that athletes go through this all the time. It's just a setback, and it's all part of the game. At least none of the exercises seemed to hurt my knee. I even did ten squats! Yay!

Worked (worked extra long since they asked me to do extra prep for tomorrow since I’m not there), then took Jerry home, then went to Dollar General and they had distilled water! Home to start cleaning some. Need to lector at the church tonight
I loved my clothesline. The sheets would smell so good. The only thing I didn’t put out on the line were towels. Since we moved from the Poconos, none of the homes we have had would allow a clothesline. Also had a clothesline in the furnace room at the house in the Poconos
Did find out that as an employee of BK, I can get free ice. So when we have the pool party in July, I can get the ice
Lisa – so glad to hear that everyone is safe and sound
Margaret – lovely display. Thanks for posting the pics
Since I don’t have work tomorrow, the plan is to do a Peak 10 Cardio Interval Burn DVD and then an AM Yoga (one section)

So today was a good day! Lee and I went exploring on Pioneer drive where its small unique shops etc. I found a co-op type art shop that used to be located at another location. Before Covid I had taken a class on decorating a light switch with small tiles. At the old location there was a piano out front, and she is inside now. We got reacquainted today. I spent over an hour playing, which did wonders for my frame of mind! Its one of my go to coping mechanisms, and I haven't made use of it for over a year. Not that my frame of mind is suffering, just having 2 sailors overseas can weigh on my heart. So playing the piano is one way to lessen that feeling. The shopkeeper asked if I sang too. I said I do have words to my piano music, but they are words of a gal from the 1980's. It kind of feels funny to spout them now. Then I mentioned that I did sing opera, so she asked me to sing. I sang! Its always nice to do things outside your comfort zone, and erupting into song is one of them. Someone filmed me with their cell phone. So I am out in the world now! I told her if she would like, I could sing at Christmas time. She took my name and phone number. 🙃💖👍
Thanks Barbie for starting us off right.💖👍

Barbie — Thank you for starting our new thread. I hope May will be a good month for all of us. ❤️1

Thanks Barbie
Happy May Day ladies

Thanks Barbie. I found myself excited this am to get on MFP and bookmark May. Looks like a great day for walking-may head out to reservoir, I love the view there and have many good memories of fishing with John and the boys.
Need to do meal prep and all of the other weekend stuff. Defrosted some tilapia and a steak yesterday. Will cook them up for evening meals. Will run down to store to pick up salad for the week. It's just easier to do with lunches. I am focusing on increasing protein so I need to be mindful of that. Of course, yogurt-I take probiotics but with all of the antibiotics need to keep gut health in mind.
Hope everyone has a good May Day!

Good morning ladies, and happy May Day!
Yes thanks Auntie BK My knee is doing much better. I'm a little sore in my arms from exercise. I think I hit just the right amount this time. Today I will walk a little, then tomorrow morning the plan is to start the yoga series over on day one.
Lots of errands to do today, and not much energy.

Happy May Day! Thank you, Barbie, for leading us into May once more.
Margaret - The picture with the flowers spilling out of the frame was absolutely gorgeous. They were all beautiful, but that one really caught me.
On flowers and gardens for the year:April showers are bringing May flowers... new growth is showing up everywhere here. The daylilies will be blooming soon, and the perennial morning glory at the front corner of the carport just put its first little tendrils up. The daffodils have come and gone again, as well as the blooms on the tulip tree and the tiny little lilies of the valley. The redbud trees have bloomed already and the dogwoods are right behind them, all scattered through the tree growth on either side of the roads into town. Corey gave me a redbud tree for my birthday last year, and it even put out tiny flowers.
Corey also planted my bleeding hearts in the stump of the old tree out front, and I'm hoping they do well there. It's my only flower purchase this year so far. Now that the danger of frost is past, he also put out new tomato plants, jalapeno peppers and strawberries. The tomatoes he planted earlier were killed in the last frost.
The plants are all in the big tubs he brought home to use for container gardening. Saves him from building raised beds, which he planned to do this year. He gets the tubs free from work, as they just get thrown away - they come with the larger trees they use for landscaping. He plans to plant only cucumbers, potatoes, and tomatillos in last year's ground level garden area--that's a good thing because the cucumbers try to take over everything. Will have to remind him to get a watermelon plant. Love the small, individual watermelon, especially sprinkled with kosher salt.
Regarding goals and words etc., My word for the year ended up being "recover." That's coming along nicely right now healthwise. Slowly, and in tiny increments, but I am feeling better almost every day...
My goals for April were:
✅ Be lighter - I was at 177.3 on April 1, and was at 175.1 this morning.
✅ Be healthier - Yes. Every day gets better. I had more than 9,000 steps on Friday for the first time in a long, long time.
✅ Stick to the budget - We did quite well for April, and we're still tracking to pay the house off by Christmas.
Yay, me!
My goals for May are:
- Be lighter
- Be healthier
- Stick to the budget
The "be lighter" works for me because I don't pin myself to a number. I can get obsessed and do stupid things if I am driving for a specific number.
My goal for right now is to go get one more cup of tea.
Later, y'all,
Love,
Lisa.7 -
Thanks Barbie for the new month.
Kids from Eastern part of state drove over Friday to help me clean the garage and do some yard work. Then yesterday they took me to dinner for an early Mother's Day. It was very nice and they are leaving today to head home. It was a nice visit and we got a lot accomplished. I'll miss them but will be glad for my quiet days.
