I had a whoosh! I had to step on the scales twice this morning as I couldn’t believe it. I know some of it is water weight from last week but I am happy. I hope I have the strength to keep a grip on my weekend eating again cause it pays off.
Today’s goals
1. Walk 5.5km
2. Tai chi
3. Stay with in calorie goal
4. Log accurately
5. 8 cups water minimum

April Shower II Challenge: Please answer question at the end.
Make your snack labor intensive. Something hard to peel, long to cut and prepare, pre-frozen to be prepared one at a time. What do you do to slow down the snack attack?
1. Went to bee hives in the yard.
2. Took apart the one that swarmed last week in preparation for getting more bees tomorrow.
3. Carried in all the parts to clean (very hard to do with bees inside.
4. Cleaned the hive box and supers which hold the honey to repaint later. Easier to do without bees in the hive. (The bees don't appreciate water or a shower.)
5. Scraped off the propolis (bee glue that bees use to fill in any gaps they don't like) from the frames that hold the honey.
6. Decapped the honey using a fork because I couldn't find my decapper.
7. Spun out the honey with my manual honey spinner (centrifuge.) Have to spin the handle quickly to get the honey to empty the frames. Does this count as exercise?
8. Taste test by licking off fingers. I wash up often and gloves don't keep the stickiness at bay. I hate being sticky.
9. How many calories in a sticky finger lick?2 -

Wanted to share this cool thing I found in one of my Facebook groups.
I’m gonna try to compete it for 2020. I went back on my Fitbit and found all my runs since the beginning of the year. I will only use my runs where I completed a full 5 k run. No walks included. So far I’ve got 5 runs in February, 7 runs in March, and 14 runs in April. Again this is for full 5k’s only. 130 down...870 to go. Gonna start coloring in my trainer to look like what I’m actually wearing.

Cabin fever. Think we are going for a drive down to Graneda Lake. Today will likely mean not eating as healthy as most days. Will take fruit and veggies with us but we'll likely stop for fast food.2 -
