    Kathy, Fitbit isn't showing me our challenges until one of us adds steps. When that happens I'll add you. It is getting very strange. I wish I knew why they were doing this.

    It is part of their getting rid of them during the upgrade they are doing. I hope they add them back. They did give me a way to find my phone if I misplace it though. But I don't lose my phone! Give me back our challenges. :sad:

    Chris will check out the April videos.

    Shelley, I hope they do too.
    Did not walk today. Had Collin Duty then made soup while watching the rain come down. I hope Thursday is clear so I can get out there.

    Kathy - love the butterfly bush idea!

    We have crappy clay-like soil (this used to be farm area)...so hard to get stuff to grow...but I always give it my best shot! I do some hearty things in the soil and a ton or urns. I just hired someone to come and cut out the flower beds, mulch and do some clean up (I did most in the spring.) Since Jim's knee replacement, he's in no condition to do it, and it's too much for me to do alone!

    I'll plant after Mother's Day...we always get that last frost here. Looking forward to it!

    You’re a lucky lady Karen. Tory Burch and Kate Spade are two of my favorites. I just bought a Kate Spade as one of my new summer bags.

    Happy for you.

    I am 8 years retired today!!! So happy!
    So today was kinda special...I'm pretty sure I told you guys I made soup on Tuesday...it was a disaster! I used a raspberry salsa that was full of crunchy seeds!! Dumped the entire pot yesterday. I had a doctor's appt yesterday, he increased my BP meds, and had my second Shingles shot....Egads!! Today I ordered stuff for a new pot of soup and went to Sara's to help w/Collin. My arm hurt...my neck was sore...I had body aches...ugh! Got home then made soup. Feeling pretty awful, I knew I had to do something and the sun was out...soooo, I asked Sara how far Ronan usually walks with them. She said 2 miles...it is 2 miles around the high school...I asked Ronan if he'd go with me. Low and behold the kid said YES!!! He tried to talk Grandpa into going with us, but it was a No Go there. I put sunscreen on him, and we took off. It was a blast! He took his rubber sword with him and fought the bad guys all the way around the school. He petted two dogs...one that was BIGGER THAN HE WAS!!!! and the other one was tiny. He talked to the ants and the rolly pollies (sp?) It was slow going but great!!!
    2.38 miles in 65 mins w/Ronan!!!

    Chris I so could visualize you and Ronan. What a beautiful time. Rocky made a great soup a few days ago. I hope yours turns out as tasty this time
    Oh I can't believe it has been 7 ears already. .

    Karen what a lucky gal. And a beautiful picture. I love pots outside. I hope your garden turns out how you imagine it.

    Kathy I have no idea what one bag is from another. Mine work bad is from Walking Dead. So not lady like.. I need a make over. But where to start. Push ups. :drinker:

    Today was nuts. But I put on some tunes and worked out.

    Tough month. I pretty much maintained so better than a huge gain. I will get to the 160s in April. Shelley’s challenge should take care of that. 😂

    Kathy maintaining during March is much better than a huge gain. I am hoping that my challenge gets me to where I can garden, shop, walk and anything else I wouldn't be able to do without being sore later.

    I attempted push-ups on my toes this morning. I did 4 without to much struggle. I am shooting to be able to do many more.
