Oh WOW, I never heard of that. In Grand Blanc, our trash company would take as much as we put out. If we put out furniture, they asked that we call a day or two before to let them know it would be there, but we were not limited at all. Here we can take as much as our truck will hold and we are willing to pay for, which is really nice considering how much remodeling we have done. As I learn this house and how we live in it, I am donating more and more as well and our donation center also takes almost everything. Speaking of our dump, we were supposed to go today, but I am not going to a transfer station in the freakin' rain and that is all it did all day!!! We are almost down to the stones in our driveway :grumble:!
Bless Ryan!!! I HATE email transfer and have always kept my inbox as empty as possible to avoid having to do it. My Mott email finally went away which has saved me hours of deleting useless email.
No rain is predicted for tomorrow!!! :bigsmile:0 -

Gosh everything is such a mess here! We have slushy dirty snow and ice, water over ice and bare stones showing through in our driveway. We were going to go the dump today and decided against it because it is no doubt a muddy mess there. I am over this stupid thaw :grumble:
On a happier note, I am down 2 pounds this week. When I log, I lose, but I still HATE doing it!!! I am choosing to believe it is my 15 minute walks!!! :laugh:
We burned through a lot of our wood during the cold snap so we are going to bring in more tomorrow before it gets super cold again. It is supposed to snow in the late after noon. We'll see :bigsmile:1 -
I was lazy today and skipped my walk. I had lunch with a friend today. Tomorrow I'm seeing another friend for the big game. I hope to get my walk in tomorrow. I haven't gotten on the scale again. I'll see that the end of the month.0

Geez, maybe I should have started January with this one? :laugh: Only 1 more to go and I may take a break from Jessica tomorrow. I was very tired today for no real reason, so maybe I need a rest day.
Let's face it @Deeder522, the scale is not our favorite thing to check on that is for sure. I do it once a week so when it goes up I can just say, "ah water retention! Better drink more water next week." :blushing: I need to check it every week because I am a horrible procrastinator.
OMG that game!!!!!! You do not take chances in a championship game ... you go for the sure thing!!! What were they thinking!!!! Two field goals just given away on a "chance" of a TD??? NOOOOOOO!!!! I was so disappointed, but you can tell the Lions are going to get better. They have all the basics and skills they just have to work on being consistent. My students always called them the "Losing Lions of Thanksgiving," but I do not think that will work next season. I was really looking forward to the Super Bowl with the Lions and the Chiefs though -gotta say! Bummer!
We brought in wood today and loaded the truck for the dump tomorrow. Hopefully, the mud there has frozen and we can get rid of all this recycling. :bigsmile:0 -

I know I need 1 more walk, but I need to do 2 more so I can begin my 2 miles walks every other day on Feb 2. As a result, I thought maybe a rest day might be good today and then I can finish January with 2 of Jessica's Walk & Talks because Feb will begin with a Thursday rest day.
We'll see how Feb goes, but I am hoping that I have established the habit of walking every evening after dinner and that I can keep it up. I am also thinking that I MIGHT make the Sat or Sun option a 3-5 mile walk. We'll see how it goes. I am so happy you suggested this Challenge @Deeder522 as it has brought back my discipline and my enjoyment of fitness walking. I know you have struggled a bit, but you have a lot on your plate and I think you have done super in spite of it all. Do you have an idea about what you want to do next month?
We finally made it to the dump this morning!!! :laugh: We are weird people who make an outing of a dump run! :ohwell: We also went to Aubuchon and got fire starters and some electrical stuff Dennis needed to fix our Christmas tree star, which chose this year to die! :grumble: Other than that, I washed all 8 of our huge windows that face the lake (currently frozen of course). Kind of an everyday day! :bigsmile:

January Goals
Apple New Year challenge - Close all Rings 7 days in a row.✅
Apple January Challenge - 3 Walking workouts of 5 minutes or more.✅
Walk n Talk Challenge - Complete Jessica Smth's Walk N Talk series this month. 21 /21
Mileage Tracked - 78 Miles
Yesterday I dragged all day. Sunday I was up later than normal b/c of the game ( also ate poorly and drank). I slept poorly that night. That meant I spent Monday functioning on about 4 hours of sleep. I slept better last night and slept in a bit. So I'm much better today.
Ah the Game: It honestly went how I kind of expected. We came out aggressively and in charge and I figured after half time the other team would try and rally. They did. Can't change the outcome but what A GREAT SEASON! I had a great night out with friends to watch the game. I can now go back to not caring about football for 8 months. 😝
I'm considering a mix of 1 & 2 Mile walks next month. Mixing in JS & Leslie. I also have the Miracle Miles series and thought about doing a rotation of that just keeping to the lower-mile walks. I searched through JS workouts and put together a small arm workout collection too.
I can't believe we've reached the end of January!0 -

I have the Miracle Miles set as well, but never really got into it. Maybe I need to take another look at it this month. I may rotate that one in and see if it grows on me.
Sadly, I have had to give up my daily glass of wine because it was really giving me sleep problems as well. I fell asleep great, but woke up after an hour or two and could not get back to sleep and then I'd fall asleep about an hour before I needed to get up. I thought it was a menopause symptom I never had before, but NOPE it turned out to be my wine. SOOOOO, I have been dry for most of the month, have been sleeping much better and have a ton of energy. It could be an age thing as it never bothered me before. Gotta love your 70s!!!! :grumble:
I can't believe January is almost over either. I started out slow, but have been feeling great these last few weeks. February always goes by fast for us because we have our Anniversary, Valentine's Day and the Super Bowl all in one month and it is usually a short month besides. This year we get 29 days though! Woo Hoo :bigsmile:0 -
I'm glad I got all my challenges down before the 31st. It was a "*kitten* it the fan" kind of day for work. lol Luckily, Ryan & I were in sync on how to handle the situation but it did tie us to the computers for most of the day.
I dusted off my old step aerobics "Step" just to see if I could step up again. Looks like I can. Jenny Ford still has some of her step videos up on her YouTube page so I might add 4 step videos to next month's rotation. It would be a nice change to the marching in place. So maybe I'll be doing a 3 workout a week variety for February since it's a short month to try something new.0 -

I am kind of happy with January even though I did not meet all of my goals, I did much better than I expected and I think it was the Jessica Challenge. It got me back in the groove of a "work out" on a daily basis and established a habit of heading downstairs after dinner. I am looking forward to February now!
I never got a step or did any step aerobics. I think that was popular before I was into working out regularly. I have a broad selection of hand weights and work out bands though, all thanks to Leslie. :laugh:
I think I am going to rotate Miracle Miles in on either the Sat or Sun walk because it includes some strength, which I need to get back to. It is time to push a little bit.
Every year the Northern Challenge Fishing Derby is held on our lake and is the largest one in the Northeast with over 40K in prizes. It was supposed to be held on Saturday, but they had to cancel it today because the ice is too thin! The lake ice has just not recovered from a week of 38-45F days sadly. Global warming :grumble:
On to February and some serious fitness and weight loss, or size loss. I'll take either one! :bigsmile:0
