Still here...yesterday's miles: 4.51
Getting nowhere fast on my decluttering...but I did do some yesterday after work, which is really a great step in the right direction for me. I am working on finding that sweet spot where I have energy AFTER work. I have been a slug for the longest time.
Three days in a row my eyes have opened at 4:30 on their own...my favorite time to wake up during the work week.
Gives me time to ride the bike, make lunch (if not done the night before) and gather myself. Have to be out the door by 6:35.
I am keeping fingers crossed this trend continues.
Hope you all have a lovely day. Later, mates.

Made it back this week.
Not sure where I am on miles, but I've been working out, and this weekend, I went to the grocery and bulk store and bought a ridiculous amount of food. I'm cooking and prepping food for the freezer and snacks for my workdays. Pinterest has been a go-to for me the past week or so.

14 - 1.48
15 - 1.7
16 - 1.79
17 - 3.71
18 - 3.12
19 - 2.6
20 - 3.58
Total = 47.66...looks like I've got about 40 miles to go in the next 11 days to hit my goal/beat last year.0 -

Nice to see you back. Having meals prepped will free up time for you for other things. Take care and have a great week.0 -

It has been a busy week for me. I have everything out of mom's house and while I was sorting and setting up for the garage sale I ran a mini garage sale and sold lots of stuff. Picked choke cherries and apples while I waited for people to come and pick up the things I advertised on Facebook.
Today is Blueberry Festival so I will be filling in at my favorite volunteer position as our little community of 750 blossoms to 3 - 4000 people.....there will be lots of steps again today!!!
Have a great weekend everyone!!0 -

Sunday was a dreary day... walked my dog and made refrigerator pickles. Hopefully they turn out, I haven't made them before. Then off to the neighbours for supper.
Frost last night, covered some things, so we will see what survived when the sun comes out.0 -
Finally able to get up in time and pedal without pain. Sorry I have been Mia
45 min recumbent bike0 -
Forgot my Fitbit at home for the first time in probably a year... Not even going to total this month and just going to accept it as a miss. My daughter cut 4 teeth this month so sleep has taken priority over steps. BUT tomorrow is a new month and we are going on a week long family trip (just us 3), so it will be a great day to start over 0
