I don't I can manage it this week at all.
Thank you.

@Megan_smartiepants1970 Hi, Megan, I'd like to be back in the step challenge at 10k, please.
@mszoueb @lelbarou It is really tough having friends and being a friend. I recently read of a scientific experiment where they had one group just think positive thoughts and the other group write down how they are truly feeling. At the end of the experiment, the group who wrote down the good, the bad and the ugly came out feeling better about life and about life and about themselves. I appreciate the honesty shared by this group, it helps me to ask myself "how am I really feeling?"3 -

My dad and I got to workout together again for the first time in a couple weeks. It felt great and I am sore today in the fronts of my shoulders and chest from punching. It's warmer out today so I'm planning on going for a walk outside after my nieces get picked up in the early evening.5 -

Congratulations everyone!!! Almost 4.4 million steps in March 😳🤩🥳1 -
After logging the rest of my planned meals/drinks. realized that I needed to do a light ride and arm workout so I don’t go over my calorie budget.
Thank you again to all of you for the time-tested tips, and sharing what has worked for you. Your advice has made all the difference for this one over here.2 -
WOW! You all are great at getting those steps in!! I sit at my desk all day then go to my other part-time jobs which are desk work too. Hard to even get 3,000 in a day. Way to go! Great inspiration!4

I promised to show pics of my built in grill when it was done. Well, the side burner is on back order (thanks, COVID) so it’s only 95% done. Can’t wait to grill something now 🥩

Sorry for the late Monday post - I'm still working (catching up for being on vacation last week). It's an increase and I'm not happy of course but it was a great break from work where the most difficult decisions were figuring out what time we had our morning walk on the beach and where we were going to take the family out for dinner (lots of great restaurants in the Palm Beach area. Anyway - 2 lbs is a 'fair trade' I can live with and I'm sure I'll find a way to take it off again soon.5
