Serial Starters

Missy, it’s 90 here but not so humid. Son and I did a “strenuous” hike today and I had to stop multiple times. I did it without stopping 30 lbs ago. I also need to use a steroidal inhaler bc my lungs are inflamed fro 2+ years of allergies out-of-control, but can’t until after surgery. My legs felt good although my knees had a hard time with the steep down hill sections.

I’m settled in for the next 3 weeks, then a 3 day hiking trip with a sister, then surgery (knee replacement). Summer feels gone already.

Stay cool, all.

Good morning all~

I've been enjoying having my cousin here to visit. Tomorrow we will be going to Asheville for a couple of days, then back home, and then she'll leave on Thursday.

Maureen - We won't be going to the beach on this visit, but I am glad to have that info you gave me~

I had horrible dreams last night, and woke up way too early. I am very sleepy.
Should I try to go back to sleep?

Good Day All~~

I'm so tired. At long last my house guest/cousin is on her way, and my other obligations have been moved to next week.

I am exhausted, and I will be having several days doing very little. I love her, but she talks nonstop, which is so very much draining.

While Barbara was here my steps were doubled!! This was without intentional walking.

We are coming up on the weekend...... What do you all have on your agendas???

Happy Saturday everyone~~

Sara - I too am shaking my head at the temps you'll be having. Will you be turning on your music and dancing at home to get in your steps/activity? 💃🏼 👍🏻

It has been very dry here in NC. Some of the smaller neighborhood trees are drooping.
I've been keeping the back yard water dish filled for the birds and little critters.

Hi all. Sara, do things settle down for a spell now? I hope so, given the hear you had/have?

It was very hot and I couldn’t even walk bc of a stupid medical test where I wasn’t supposed to sweat.

But today was glorious early, 68 with a few point of 55! I did over 3 miles with my dogs, some jogging. The last run it was 88 and a few point of 73, and I failed miserably. So this was nice.

I lost half a pound a month for the first half of this year and hope to pick up the pace. I won’t be able to do much for months after the knee replacement—7/17. Hoping for a great outcome.

Lana,, how was Asheville? What’s worth doing if I’m not just hiking? Glad you had fun with your cousin and I hope the mountains were a bit cooler.

We need rain here too!

TTFN.
