Well since I was up early and we don't have a thread for today yet I thought I would get us going.
Got up at 7am to do a little geocaching. Garbed a family member who was up for the hunt and off we went on our treasure hunt. We went for about 5 miles and found 5 of the 7 locations we looked for. We live close to a large creek (old flooded quarry) that has a nice trail system that was full of geocaches. We filled out pockets with some treasures and our hiking shoes and had a really fun time. We didn't find our first one but after that we started finding them, and getting ourselves covered in cattails. We had a lot of fun, scampering up and down hills, digging under trees. A great way to spice up a regular hike.
But now I am ravenous and must eat.
What are you doing today to have some fun and keep healthy?

Good afternoon Pat.. I guess everyone is quiet today doing stuff with family.
Hoping to take the dogs out, I am doing laundry.. have some chores to do that I am telling myself I must get done. Feeling more positive making plans to actually go to the pool even though my new swimsuit is about 2 sizes too big! sigh.0 -
I'm hoping to get moving soon. I want to work on increasing my steps, but right now the heat and humidity are horrible. I may have to do my steps in the house. Oh well, better than nothing.

Pat that sounds like a lot of fun, I used to love treasure hunts and such things when I was a kid. If I had a mobile I would totally do that!
Hi all, checked the scale again today and while it has barely moved from my weigh in 2 weeks ago at least it is not showing an inexplicable 2 to 5 lbs gain (nope not salt related, TOM related, and nope not preggers lol). Whatever it is, hopefully I am reset and back for a loss next week. But I am having wine today hehe. I rarely drink my cals now, just not worth it, but spent the afternoon re-doing my husband's CV and that is triple the work because it has to be done in a language I do not speak or write. So hours later I am done and I need some booze. Should be able to fit in to the day, I cut down on tonight's supper and cut out the desert but even if I go a little over, it is okay.
Hope everyone is having a nice weekend x

I managed to get out and go practice w some friends on their co-ed softball team. I played fast pitch softball for 10 years then coached our middle school age girls for several seasons. I have been away for several years though due to broken arm that has led to lessen grip strength in my glove hand.
Today. 1 hr and 45 min!!! In 105 degree heat index. Impressed I made it that long. 3.3 mile walk yesterday too.
I'm beat. And smelly.0 -
We went back on our hike today and didn't find the cache today either. I think something's happened to it. It's a really cool cache. It was placed by North Carolina Surveyors and has a huge box with a bit of history about surveying. We homeschool, so I was viewing it as an educational opportunity, in addition to a fitness opportunity.
Oh well, win some lose some. It was a great hike both days.
A good friend of mine has been geocaching for years and years. We started up about 2 years ago, but with my foot issues, it wasn't anything I did consistently. I'm thinking it's going to be a regular habit now, as long as my son doesn't whine too much! It's HOT and SWEATY business.
Hope everyone has a good weekend! Back to the grind tomorrow....0 -
