    After all the rain the night before, the temperature dropped a lot here. I feel 10 times better when it isn't warm and sunny. I think I am part vampire. Went for a longer walk in the morning which was really nice. One small section of my favourite walk was closed because a pair of cranes is nesting in the area. The same happened last year. I am happy they are doing so well and there are plenty other nice trails around so I didn't mind too much. We got more rain in the afternoon so I did my second walk on the pad. I find it pretty boring, but I am glad I have it as an option.

    Good workout at the gym in the morning. It was a wet and grey day, but I still enjoyed my outdoor walk. Didn't feel much of the light rain in the forest anyway. Not a lot of steps because my cat wanted to sleep on my lap most of the day so I was 'forced' to sit!

    Looks like the forest is greening up for spring.

    Rainy morning. Started with a boring roadwalk from home. Second half of the walk was dry so it wasn't too bad. Got a pile of groceries after so I don't have to go the days around easter. Second walk was dry and more fun in the national park. My feet have been pretty tired and sore. I am getting new shoes delivered today. I have been wanting them for months and they were on sale now so figured I'd go for it. They have a thicker sole so I hope that will help my feet a bit.

    I had a pretty tired day. Even the gym felt a bit of a struggle. I got my new shoes early in the afternoon so I used them on my outdoor walk. They are comfortable and I am happy with them. Now tree roots and rocks don't hurt anymore when I step on them. I think they will be perfect after I get a few more walks in on them. The walk was too hot and sunny for me again, but I got everything done so it was a good day.

    It was raining all day. I started on the walking pad hoping it would be dry later, but that didn't happen. So out I went in my rain poncho. I still had a nice walk outside and the poncho did a really good job keeping me dry so it wasn't too bad.

    I slept for almost 10 hours, so I did feel a bit better! I feel the same about there not being enough hours in the day. I guess we just have to do what we can.

    I had a full day which started with the gym. Workout went pretty good. Went home to shower and then got a bunch of groceries. When I got home, I saw my food scale was low on batteries and I didn't have the right kind so after my outdoor walk I picked some up. The walk was nice and I saw some fun things. I did a little bit of work in the garden in the evening, but I was too tired to do much. I honestly just want to set it all on fire! Also got some packages delivered with treats for my cat, silicone panholders, a hat, a book and some vet wrap.

    Two fairly boring walks yesterday. The weather was great though, cloudy and good temp. In the evening I mowed the front garden. I absolutely hate mowing, so it took a lot of willpower to get it done. I planned to do it next week when it is warmer, but the grass was mostly dry now anyway and why sweat more in the heat. I was very tired after that and had my 5th change of clothes and second shower. This challenge doubles my laundry, crazy!

    It was an extremely wet day over here. I got wet biking to the gym, then I got wet biking home, and then I got even more wet during my outdoor walk in the afternoon (from the knee down anyway). I didn't really mind because the rest of the day felt very lazy with lots of cuddle time with my cat. Good luck at the gym!

    I had a really nice walk in the morning, very quiet except for all the birds. Found some tiny feathers that I suspect got blown out of a nest. I got groceries after, dropped off a package with my old modem and picked up the package that has my new roller shades. Even though I already have light blocking curtains in my bedroom, they don't do a great job and I don't want to get up in at 5 in the summer. So I got these new ones that I think will be a lot better. I unpacked one last night and it looks pretty simple to hang up, so I might attempt that today if I have the energy. My second walk was very muddy so I had to be a bit careful.

    Love that picture, looks like an awesome group of gym friends!

    Great photos the views and feather are amazing

    I enjoy getting up early, even after retirement it’s 5am for my first coffee ☕️

    Your roller blackout curtains still sound like something I should check out

    After reading your review I did find a single foot roller Love it 😊

    Thank you! I am glad you found a nice foot roller. For me, getting up early is between 6 and 7. I think that's early enough! I have chronic fatigue so I need a lot of sleep. If I get up at 5, I would need to go to bed at 19:00 and that just seems a bit insane.

    I tried to put up one of the roller shades today. I don't have enough plugs, the wall is super hard in some places and it doesn't hang straight even though the level says it does. Instead of struggling with it for hours, I asked if my dad wants to help. It is really simple and I know he will have them up in less than 10 minutes. I just don't have the energy to deal with it, lol. He will come over next Saturday.

    Picture is blurry because my phone is being silly, but you get the idea. It rolls down slightly to the right, so there is a gap on the left side which I obviously don't want. If they are up properly, I think they will be great at blocking the sunlight.

    Sorry you have choric fatigue. You are taking good care of yourself with the walking, gym, and diet commitments. Hope you continue to feel good 👍💕
