    Thank you! I do my best with the headaches, but migraines are a whole different animal. I don't see my mom that often though (every 2-3 months) so I don't want to go to bed or skip things if I can help it.
    Is it possible your rash is from oak processionary caterpillars? I had that happen to me a few years ago, also went to doctors for allergy and stuff, but nothing ever came from it. Then my brother pointed out this could be an option and that seemed to fit. Some years we have a lot of trouble with them here. I hope it goes away soon!

    My husband had a couple of late nights this last week. Also, my kids where home from school sick for a couple of days. I was in survival mode and missed some workouts and ordered meals on door dash. I knew this week was going to be bad...

    Saturday Musings

    Got up early this morning and walked a mile first thing!! Celebrating the arrival of the weekend and the survival of last week! Many of us have physical woes, difficulties, issues and the pain that goes with them...physical, mental and emotional...so sometimes making it through the week is worth celebrating! In the group challenge this week, today was a day to celebrate. Hope you guys are enjoying the challenges...if you haven't popped in, you're really missing out. They're fun, different each week and VERY motivating. Just posted the link to the new one which starts tomorrow. Encourage you to participate...

    Last night, we had some severe storms, lightning, tornado warnings, etc...the winds were horrible and the thunder very loud. My Hazel was scared and it was hard to get to sleep, but once they wound down a little after midnight, I slept like a baby...even slept in for a bit this morning...got up around 8:40 and started walking a little before 9am. It's much nicer today although still partly cloudy...supposed to have more rain this afternoon, but at least no storms...getting ready to lie down and read for a bit...just want to relax today. Got my little bit of cleaning out of the way so I can!

    So, what's on tap for anyone who is celebrating Mother's Day this weekend? Planning anything special for your Mom, Grandma or special Aunts in your life? I remember as a child, picking flowers for my Mom and being so proud to present them to her, just to see her smile. It's the little things that are important...Hope you have a wonderful weekend and if you're a Mom, Step-Mom, Caregiver, Fur-Mom...Happy Mother's Day to you!

    5/6 steps - 6066

    I had a very slack day. I did a lot of house cleaning but didn't go on any walks. My eesting heart rate was still fairly high, so I didn't push it.

    I got back out today for a walk. I kept it slow but did my full three miles. My heart rate stayed under 120, so it was much better though still about 10% higher than it normally is. I'm going out with the wife tonight for her Mothers day dinner with my weigh in looming tomorrow. It's been looking good all week but the bast three days put me in a tailspin. Hopefully it will okay.

    I had your PW as 133.8 and your current as 133.4 for a loss of .4. Is that correct? You should know better than to attempt math on the weekend! :blush:

    May 7 - Saturday
    Steps: 9.944
    Good morning Shape Shifters. I had a relaxing day. Slept pretty well. My mom didn't want to go out again because she wanted to give her foot some rest. So we didn't really do much until her partner arrived to pick her up again at 13:00. I got some groceries when they left and the rest of the day I pretty much sat on my butt (with some walks with Tinus thrown in). I decided not to worry about my steps because the last couple of days have already been a lot of walking so I didn't make my 12k this time. It was a slow day, but it was nice and I really needed it.
    Happy Sunday everyone <3

    Daily Step goal: 10,000

    Thu 5/5: 11,985
    Fri 5/6: 10,555
    Sat 5/7: 13,877

    Thursday, I took a two mile walk with a 16 pound weighted vest (in a backpack on my back). I'm wanting to get ready for some day hiking adventures in the coming months, so I'm going to add the weight a couple times a week.
    Friday, my abdominals were sore, possibly from overdoing a Pilates workout, but maybe partly due to the extra weight I carried on Thursday. But I got in a good four mile walk anyway, sans backpack.
    Saturday, I got a 3 1/3 mile walk in, again without backpack, but I jogged intermittently enough to get down to a 18:30 minute mile pace, which is good for me. My normal walking pace is around 21 minutes/mile.

    Sunday Weigh-in
    PW: 241.4 lbs
    CW: 243.8 lbs
    LTD: 71.2 lbs

    So the three day tail spin resulted in a bad weigh in. I stayed within my deficit for every day but yesterday which unfortunately was taking the wife out to a Brazilian steakhouse. It was bound to be a bad weigh day.

    5/7 steps - 15793

    Sorry had to drive to Calgary for Doc. apt and totally forgot to post for Wednesday May 4th, thats why my steps were so low that day. I'm aiming to walk everyday at least 30min if I can, I missed a couple days this week, hoping next week is better!
