    Day 4 was not very eventful with the exception of a bit of housework but Day 5 was filled with hoovering and painting my house, so lots of exercise. Ate really healthy too :) well done everyone, sounds like you're all doing great!

    Hi challenge peeps! Day 9: 50 squats, then hours and hours of painting. Such a pity MFP does not have "painting" on their exercise list! Hey, if "cooking" can be on there... !! I certainly worked off a boatload of calories. And still didn't finish!!

    Day 6: more painting. I'm surprised that's not an exercise too, bweaverband, because it sure does knock you out! :)

    Hello there challenge peeps! Day 10: squats, squats, everlasting squats! Contrary to popular belief, they don't seem to be doing anything for my "booty", ( been doing them for most of the year, so I really should have seen something!! Haha) but they sure do help my arthritic knees! So I keep on keeping on. They're really helping my quads, too. Then outside for some serious yard work and gardening. Sweating like crazy!! Aaaaaand then there's painting. Doesn't seem like I will ever finish!! But, it's an awesome exercise!!

    Hi all! Lots of walking over the last few days and today on the way back from church I decided to do some strenuous hill walking. Lovely views over our beautiful Welsh valleys and hopefully plenty of calories burned! x

    Hi everyone! Day 14: very quiet and restful Sunday. Other than playing piano for worship and helping my drummer hubby pack and carry his big drum set home from church, not much activity so far. (Oh yes... There was the epic battle with the wasp in our house!

    Day 12: mini-hike in beautiful woodlands in Snowdonia and some uphill walking. Every day for the past six days has included long walks and I'm feeling so much fitter!

    Good morning challenge friends! Day 18:
    Used my much-ignored gym membership today! 30 minutes of treadmill running, and 45 minutes of strength machines feels awesome! I always wonder why I go so seldom when I feel so great afterward!
    Be blessed today! (Still not posting pics :( but keystroke emojis seem to work! Wonder if I can figure one out for my favorite bumblebee! Lol!)
