    Lost count a few days ago, been too tied up with work stuff. I think this is close, I haven't been drinking much, but most nights end with a drink as I unwind.

    @itladyee I have not made my 4:30 am goal!! Not one time! I forgot I never answered you on that. The second half of this month has been garbage…lol. I got in one workout last week, and I just did one today. I won't need to get up at 4:30 now that some of my bills are paid off and don't have to work quite as much, but I haven't even managed to get up around 6 am. Ugh. I need to kick my own tail in gear!

    @Michieb125 Fantastic pictures! I'll bet that was an amazing trip!

    @SparkSpringtime69 WTG on the 2 days in a row!

    @SurferGirl1982 Get geared up for May! You can do it! and get in those little workouts, too! You'll start to feel so much better!

    @NonnieDoiron ~ I love the visual of the two buff dudes following the 2 year old girl. Gotta love it.

    Not sure if the macros question was rhetorical or not but I asked my friend Nova (aka ChatGPT) and this is what I got! I may even just try it!

    What You're Trying to Do (In Fancy Words):

    ✅ You want people to fill out a Word form using Content Controls (like text boxes, dropdowns, date pickers)...
    ✅ You want a TAB macro that makes sure when they press Tab, it jumps from one content control to the next — cleanly.

    Normally Word handles tabbing OK, but inside tables or in tricky layouts, it can get wonky. That’s where macros save the day.

    Step-by-Step: Creating a "Tab" Macro for Word Forms

    Step 1: Set Up Your Content Controls

    • Go to the Developer Tab in Word (if you don't see it: File > Options > Customize Ribbon > Check "Developer" box).
    • Insert your Content Controls (e.g., Rich Text Content Control, Plain Text Content Control).
    • Name each control!
      • Right-click the control > Properties > Set a unique Title or Tag.
        (Example: FirstName, LastName, Address, etc.)

    Step 2: Create a Simple Macro

    Here's a basic Tab-to-Next-Control macro (you'll love how easy it is):

    1. Press Alt + F11 to open VBA Editor.
    2. In the editor:
      • Insert > Module.
    3. Copy and paste this code:
    vbaCopyEditSub JumpToNextContentControl()    Dim cc As ContentControl    Dim i As Integer    If Selection.ContentControls.Count > 0 Then        Set cc = Selection.ContentControls(1)        i = cc.Index        If i < ActiveDocument.ContentControls.Count Then            ActiveDocument.ContentControls(i + 1).Range.Select        Else            ' If it's the last control, do nothing or loop back to first            ActiveDocument.ContentControls(1).Range.Select        End If    End IfEnd Sub

    Step 3: Assign the Macro to a Keyboard Shortcut (Like "Tab" or "Alt + T")

    Important:
    You can’t override the real Tab key easily in Word — Microsoft guards it like a dragon guards treasure. 🐉🔥

    BUT you can:

    • Assign it to something close like Alt+T or Ctrl+T:
      1. File > Options > Customize Ribbon > Keyboard Shortcuts (bottom left button).
      2. Choose Macros.
      3. Find JumpToNextContentControl.
      4. Assign it to a shortcut key (like Alt+T).

    Or...

    • If you're feeling very fancy later, you can use an AutoHotKey script outside of Word to truly hijack Tab. (Let’s walk before we sprint! 🏃🏻‍♀️)

    Bonus Tip: Even Slicker Macro (Optional Upgrade 🌟)

    If you want the macro to skip non-fillable controls (like text labels) and ONLY stop at fields users need to fill, we can level it up later!

    Quick Recap

    • Insert Content Controls and name them.
    • Create a simple VBA macro.
    • Assign a keyboard shortcut to run it.
    • When you're in a control, hit your shortcut = auto jump to next!

    Why This is a Power Move:

    • Makes your forms feel professional (no clunky clicking around).
    • Saves time and user frustration.
    • Makes you look like a straight-up Word wizard. 🧙🏻‍♀️✨

    Would you like me to also show you how to:

    • Make it auto-tab when user presses Enter?
    • Highlight the next content control automatically?
    • Protect the form so users can only tab between controls and can't break your masterpiece?

    (Just say the word — or shout it dramatically, whatever fits your mood. 😉)
    Ready to take it up a notch? 🎯

    @globalhiker ~ I read about adding weights to walks, and I actually have a neighbor that does it.

    @chicbuc ~ 4:30 is early. I've been slacking on my 5:30am wake up as well, which is odd, as it's lighter outside so that usually gets me up and going. It's good that yu don't have to do that, though!

    @SparkSpringtime69 ~ Kudos on 2, got 2 more :)

    @SurferGirl1982 ~ Two day challenge on board…but I posted late, so I'm good with 1 day :)

    Stats thru 4/30 ☀️ The Finisher — crossing that finish line like a boss.
    A = 15
    LA = 3

    @SurferGirl1982 ~ I do like the idea of the weighted belt as it's less conspicuous but it is expensive. Here's a weighted vest that starts at $39.00

    @itladyee that's a perfect example of where GPT shines - always double check stuff, of course, but I've used GPT to hack spreadsheets, configure VPNs, all sorts of stuff.

    Probably gonna be an LA night, but we'll see.
