Past week's successes: Back on track with eating regular meals, lower carbs and drinking my water! Actually hopped on my bike 2x this week.
This week's challenges: I’m really apprehensive about this 1 hr Strong and Fit total body workout I signed up to take Monday night. But I think it will be good for my bones & muscles as I age and hopefully it will help shape my legs, tummy and arms! Also planning to swimming laps on Wednesday. Thursday we head to the fishing camp. It will be a struggle to finish my 100 miles walking in July but if I don’t hit it exactly I’ll be close.

Past week's successes: On track to complete 100 mile walking goal for August! Otherwise it was a lazy week. Did get my Shingrix (shingles) Vaccine which fatigue and headache really played havoc with my eating & exercise plans.
This week's challenges: None but those in my head as well as long weekend at the fishing camp 🎣 where exercise is more of a challenge as well as eating and drinking. My goal is not to gain weight when going to the camp this year.
