    We're under a winter weather advisory for Friday—possibly 6" in my area. That should do wonders for the crops and all things springtime. We had a visit with the Chiropractor today and he gave my ankle and knee some attention.

    This evening I did a walk for 4 Slim miles. I changed it up and decided to walk until my watch said I walked a mile instead of Leslie telling me. It took almost 20 minutes on the dot to get there.
    I also successfully logged all my food, so far, today in Cronometer. Based on my logging I need water and less carbs / sugar. 🤔

    Sorry, to hear about Family Drama, @zichab. Hopefully the monkey's in your circus get their acts together.

    Well, it snowed. Right now we have about 6" on the ground. The snow is starting to calm down and should be down by Midnight. It was that soft falling snow so at least it looked pretty when it was falling.

    I haven't done much today, moving or eating. We received the sad news that we will lose our health insurance at the end of April. We made too much to keep receiving state aid. It doesn't look like we can afford the deductibles to buy our own insurance either. Monday, I'll start making calls to see if I can get any appointments moved up before we lose insurance. We talked it over and Ryan is mostly concerned with trying to find dental and eye insurance. The medical stuff we'll probably just go without. So this weekend I'll probably be wandering around with my emotional support Vodka. 🤣😳😝

    Talked with an acquaintance, who said we should still qualify for insurance and in her opinion the county made errors. I'll try and get in touch with a supervisor on Monday.

    Last night, I did my arm circuit. I need to do some message work on my calves and feet before I get another walk in.

    March Goals

    Miles Tracked: 57 / 72 Miles
    Apple Challenge: 12 workouts of 5 minutes or more. ✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅
    Strength Training: 6 / 4

    I win! We get to keep our health insurance!!! DHS called, apologized for the error, and thanked me for bringing everything to their attention. They are having to get 2 other departments involved to figure out why things are showing incorrectly.

    I had a surprise trip to Muskegon and back today for work. Work today involved much climbing up and down dealing with network things.
    All the snow we had is gone as it made its way up to 63℉ today.

    I had kind of a bad week of depression, but my sister called me yesterday and totally changed my attitude. Today I had a very busy day!!!! I cleaned my whole house (it needed it), took down all my St. Patrick's Day decor and got out all my Spring and Easter decor and then walked a mile with Leslie!!! Tomorrow we are off to Aldi so I think I have turned the corner on the blues! :+1:
    I was so sorry to hear about your insurance, but glad it is all straightened out. I have no idea what we would do without our military health insurance. We pay for Medicare, but our Tricare supplement is totally free and it is also our drug plan. I actually dropped Mott's insurance when MI changed the rules for schools a few years ago and just went with Tricare. Of course, it cost us 30 years of military service, but these days, it was worth every day of it when I hear stories like yours.
    We got 10 inches of snow from the 22nd-23rd. Most of it is gone except where it was plowed. The ice came back, but most of it is also gone in our bay and the loons were fishing in front of the house this afternoon. We are in the mid to upper 40s during the day and upper 20s at night. We are predicted to have a few high 50s days this coming week along with some snow showers so the end of winter is coming very quickly. Dennis' Daffodils survived the snowstorm and his tulips are popping up as well. We are getting anxious to have an evening glass of wine down by the lake! :bigsmile:

    It's the final weekend in March and it is Easter too. We are keeping Easter to just the household this time.
    Our Daffodils have started to bloom and the tulip leaves are coming out. Our Forsythia is blooming its tiny yellow flowers too. Our taxes are filed and we'll finally get a new clothes dryer this year to replace the old one left behind by my parents. Our washer is GE, but our dryer will be Whirlpool. That leaves one major appliance to be replaced here. One day I'll have a new gas range. :)

    My workouts have fallen off the wagon but luckily I can see where they fell off and circle to pick them back up for April.

    This month may have ended kind of crappy, but at least I beat my total miles for last month! 1 GOAL attained! :laugh: It has been a rough month for me, but I am shaking it off for next month and I have a plan:
    Next Month's Goals: 3 mile walks MWF, 4 mile walks Sa or Su, Firm 30-T and increase March miles! I know it is challenging and if I actually manage 2/3 of it, I will be in better shape for summer. Not that it will be here anytime soon! We are on a winter weather watch for next Wednesday into Thursday for a huge snowstorm that will drop 8-10" of wet snow on us AGAIN!!! At this point, I am thinking it might be June before we can have a glass of wine buy the lake! :blushing: Thankfully, it is going to fall between all of Dennis' appointments next week so we will just sit inside and watch it snow & blow.
    Dennis is doing our taxes right now. He has the state done, but is working on the feds.
    Happy Easter and we are staying in as well. I put a couple of bunnies on the table and my spring decorations in the house. DONE! :bigsmile:

    Happy Easter 🐣 🐇 🐰.

    Have you and Dennis considered having some ice wine down my the Lake? 🤣

    March was weird. Weather, people, it's all been a little weird. We've already started to find 🐜 Ants this past month. Found a few in the panty yesterday, so I had to deep clean the pantry. That meant I also threw out things that were no longer good or things that we would not use again. Good thing trash day is tomorrow.

    I'll post April's goal in that month's board but I don't think it will vary much. However, I did "splurge" and pick up Tai Cheng from Beachbody. It's their Tai Chi program and Tai Chi is something Ryan and I have talked about for him as it has simple slow movements and for me to help increase flexibility.
    However, I also realized that if I start and commit to a 6-week workout from Jessica Smith, I'd be done just in time for my birthday next month. 🤔
