I'm headed to the Upper Peninsula tomorrow. It's my siblings' annual camping/get together. I'm hoping there's lots of hiking and other excursions to offset the taco party and big spaghetti dinner they are planning! We're headed to Mackinaw Island on Friday, so that's a good walking day...1

outside training hampered by daily thunderstorms ( like your daily winter weather restricting activity) but got a short open water swim with bike ride and run in rain. crazy washing machine swim in..

I only gained one pound over my long weekend!
And WOW Barb! Look at the surf! Is it like 4 times as hard to swim in that?0 -
End-of-month summary. Weight loss not happening. Mindful eating not happening. Use of row machine not happening. But swimming more. Staying healthy except for a little back strain. Logging daily Almost 100%. Elderly father staying out of the hospital and becoming more independent allowing me more days off. Gained weight this month by eating and reading and eating enormous amount of food after work. So shocked by my weight today and will begin to eat healthier and stay within my calories. Onward!
nice bike ride last week in the rain...cooled off0
