    Another busy month with graduations, parties, family dinner and my birthday. I will have to be very careful with all the party food and continue my workouts with FitOn. I want to be in the 160s before our girls trip to Panama June 20th.

    Have a great month my friends!

    Today is the 122 day of 2024. There are 244 days left in 2024. This year is 1/3 over.
    Crimeny! It's already May!!! :o
    I met with my trainer this afternoon for a hard 60 min workout.
    I think I told you that Ronan got pink-eye. He's better now and will go to school tomorrow...Collin has pink-eye now!! We didn't have him today, but we'll have him tomorrow. He'll have been on his meds 24 hours by then and we won't get it...hahahahahahah...I sure hope not. It's so nasty!

    Chris that stuff is so contagious also. I have never had it. But been around it all to often. Nice workout.

    Kathy you can do it. I found motivation in your getting up early and working out. That was the way to start out the month.

    Paula my iris don’t have buds yet. Wish they did

    I did 3 short workout this evening. The first was a great upper body workout. Instructor was very informative and had great arms. Just saying don’t judge me. The next was an upper body strength/cardio. Mountain climbers and even burpees. I was in heaven. The third was a short yoga. It had bad streaming issues. And the gal was horrible.
    All packed and ready to go. Notes left all over for my granddaughter to look after my pets.

    I had a lunch date with a couple of friends. We went to a great salad restaurant called Salata. After we went to a place with the best homemade cookies. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Finished the afternoon at this boutique with the cutest clothes. Got in some steps but didn’t workout today.

    Nice going, Shelley!!
    Kathy, shopping for clothes is a form of exercise, if you ask me!
    We had Collin Duty this morning then had Ronan Duty after school then had groceries delivered then made soup! That's it.

    This morning I completed a lower body stretch that was really good for my sore back. Then I did the same upper body that Shelley did. But with plenty of modifications. Of course no, no, no to Burpees. I’m sure Shelley was in heaven. Going to spend some time on the recumbent this afternoon.

    Shelley happy to hear you’re packed for your trip. When do you leave again. I’m going to miss you. Will have to stay motivated on my own.

    So much wind and rain!! Wind out of the WSW at 15 mph now but was in the 20s!! The rain was blowing sideways!! The rain is supposed to stop around 5p.m. but I don't think I'll be walking then. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and in the 50s & 60s. I'll go to the post office then!!
    Did I tell you ladies that we have doves nesting in our maple tree out front? I saw the mommy bird feeding a baby bird yesterday morning. So exciting. Poor guys are in the rain and wind right now.
    The only sad thing about it is the hummingbirds don't sit in the tree now. We don't see them like before the doves moved in.
    Saw my trainer yesterday for a 60 min workout. Man! My thighs are a bit sore today!!
    Later my friends.

    The squirrels or birds knocked the first bud off the irises but it bloomed in a vase. Then more buds appeared outside. Yay! Here's a pic. :flowerforyou:

    I did a 7 minute stretch this morning then a 12 minute arm and back blast. We had a family dinner at my neice house today with two of my great nieces doing all the cooking for about 20 of us. They did a great job. Cousins who live to cook. It was a fun day but I’m so tired and headed to bed.

    My phone is fine... :p
    We had Collin this morning then I went to see my trainer for a 60 mins workout...man, it was hard!! :'(
    Ronan and I are going to deliver mail that was miss-delivered to us to the neighbor down the street who should have gotten it.
    Hopefully, I'll get to walk to the post office tomorrow after Collin is picked up. We'll see.

    Bran muffins should be free, right? That was my thought, but the scale says otherwise. Oh well...

    🤷🏽‍♀️ did a 16 minute beginner’s yoga session. That’s all.

    Paula I agree Bran muffins should be free.

    Mom had a MRI yesterday. We get the results tomorrow.

    Muahaha Paula! Scales are such liars. Take it and throw it off a cliff.
    Paula that is one of my favorite irises. Always beautiful

    Kathy I would have texted more. But I can’t believe how crappy my cell worked there. And I had to pay to use theirs. Not happening. How is your mom’s results? Well I hope. Burpees, yes yes yes.

    Chris them doves are mean. Not friendly at all. I saw a hummingbird on vacation.

    Wedding photos. Everyone had such a great time. The young woman and man sitting closest on the bus are brother and sister. She is pregnant with twins. They are a couple months apart. My brother was a player. He married her mom. Did not know about him until almost a year ago. Ancestry.com or whatever is amazing. They just met the night before. His wife is amazing.

    Grand Canyon was amazing. And not too hot. The man with us is a cousin of Rocky’s. He lives in Las Vegas. He was so nice.

    I found a large pond at the Flamingo where we stayed. So much to see in its murky depths. And I went on this huge Ferris Wheel. What a view.

    Today was nuts. Didn’t get anything done I planned. I heard Rocky’s phone going off. It was ten to seven. He needed to have a friend at the clinic by seven for his colonoscopy! I woke him up. Told his friend we would meet him there. Fastest we ever got ready and somewhere. Dropped him off and then returned home for a shower. Then back to the clinic. Afterwords we went to brunch. Then to friends home. That’s when it started. Everything I ate today just went right through me. Awful. And company started coming. It was nuts

    I completed a tone arms and back strength workout and a quick abs workout.

    Shelley I’m glad you’re home, missed you. Not fun doing FitOn without you.

    Chris I think Colin had a great time. So funny!

    After Collin Duty I made soup and now I am reading.
    It got really warm today! it's 7:00 p.m. and 82 degrees out there! The wind is still fierce and tipping our climbing plants over. Egads, man!!
    I have my trainer tomorrow...91 degrees is promised!!

    Thursday’s workout was a 15 minute Yoga flow. It was a great stretch. Will do strength today and get in some cardio.

    I hope you ladies all have a wonderful Mother’s Day. I’m having a Barbecue for my Mom. That’s what she wants. My brother’s coming from Huntsville and my sisters that live here and some of the grands will come by.

    Saw my trainer today for a 60 min brutal workout!! I got to do the battle ropes!!
    Sara, Pete and Collin...and Bean...came to pick up Ronan, and Sara surprised him with the fact they were going down to Disneyland for the weekend right then. You would think a 7 year old kid would be excited to go down to Disney...but nooooo! He was so upset because he wanted to stay here and play computer games w/Grandpa!! So strange. We all pitched in and got him excited about it.
    We traded Ronan for Bean. We have the pup for the weekend.
    I'm thinking about taking Bean for a walk tomorrow...we'll see. He's an old pup now. His hips are getting bad. I think I told you gals that he lost a toe to cancer. :(
    Going to read now. Have a great weekend everyone.

    Chris I think you did tell us. I remember you telling us about him when he was just a puppy. And back then I had my 4 boys. Miss them all so.

    My eyes keep closing

    Good morning ladies. Hope everybody's having a great Saturday.

    Such a busy time on my end between lots of things at work and graduation coming up for my kiddo in a couple of weeks. I need more movement for sure. The weather has been. So up and down here. 85 one day, 50 the next.

    Graduation is June 3rd. It's been stressful. Not sure is Bella is going to pass everything....if not...summer school I guess. Finally have gotten to the point where I have to let it go...hard for me.

    Drama with the prom dress....we had one ordered which turnes out to be a disaster...terrible company. So just ordered a new one and paid a month to FedEx it. But at least she will have something beautiful ❤️

    Need to get to the gym or get outside early today so I don't put it off lol!

    Highest weight ever: 306 (2013)
    Ultimate goal weight: 165
    5/6 - 189
    5/10 - 186
    May goal - 175

    Have a great weekend!
