Hello Shape Shifters. I had a very busy day with some errands as well. Of course it started with a walk. I checked the weather before I left and there was rain coming in 30 minutes so I walked in my rain poncho. I was out for 72 minutes and there wasn't a single drop of rain! Wore the thing for nothing and got all gross and sweaty under it, boo. I did a load of laundry, read some and then it was time for the gym before lunch. I did my cardio workout which was also very sweaty. After my workout I quickly stopped by the pet store that is almost next to the gym. They had some cat treats on sale and I still had a few euros left on a gift card so I got a couple of very cheap liquid snacks for Tinus.

Then it was home, shower, lunch and go out again to get some groceries and pick up a package with new vitamins. I planned to get the groceries after my walk, but I didn't trust myself to go to the store hungry, lol, so after lunch was better. I woke up with a bit of a sore throat this morning and I intended to get something for it when I picked up my package, but it slipped my mind. I almost didn't go out again for the 4th time, but that would have just be silly, the store is only 3 minutes biking away and if it does get worse, I would regret not getting something. I took one tablet and it isn't doing a whole lot yet, so I think I will take another before bed. Hopefully it will be nothing, I seriously can't remember the last time I got a cold or the flu; for sure over 15 years ago. Anyway, it was a good but busy day. Good night 🌙

Thursday outdoor walk

I stayed on the road because mud and wet leaves can be slippery, the moose rut is on and the be ‘Bear Aware’ campaign is in full swing🤷‍♀️

It got up to 50F/10C and partially sunny by late afternoon when I took my walk.

Art on the AvenueArt on the Avenue@Grandma16grandkids – nice adjustments! I hope your headaches easy. You’ll probably feel a renewed energy once you make it through the withdrawal period but it’s hard work. Hang in there!

@jessicakrall8 - Enjoy your book!

Tomorrow, there is a local multicultural art and music festival in our neighborhood called Art on the Avenue. On Sunday, my husband and I are going to our friends’ lake house, about two hours south of here. I have soccer later that night, and my husband is leaving for a business trip the next day so we’ll probably only stay a little past lunch and then drive back home.

Day 3 of 75 Hard

• Diet: stayed on track
• Workouts: 1st was a 45 min outdoor walk. 2nd was another 45 min outdoor walk.
• Water: easily got my half gallon plus some.
• Reading (any book): Read a lot, finished my book.

On the one hand, I am pushing myself to do 2 walks. So that's good. On the other hand, I should be doing more than just walking. My husband was out last night so I wasn't able to get to the gym (had to stay home with kid). That makes a total of once this week. Eeeek. That's not good. Especially with my half marathon coming up in 3 weeks. I need to I'm stop making excuses and start pushing a bit harder. At least I was able to finish my book last night.

Hello Shape Shifters. Woke up this morning with my throat feeling less sore which was good. There was a storm blowing this way and the morning was incredibly wet. At least this time wearing my rain poncho was not wasted I guess! It wasn't very cold or windy yet when I went for my walk so I still enjoyed myself. I had to order a new bodywarmer since I discovered my zipper broke when I put it on for my walk, I think it happened in the laundry. Thankfully I get mine from Decathlon and it is pretty cheap. I wear that thing nearly every day so I am glad to get a new one on Monday.

I normally go the gym on Saturday and have Friday off, but I decided to swap days in case the storm was bad. The wind did pick up a lot later in the day and I was happy I didn't need to leave the house again. Instead I used my walking pad while watching a hiking video. A fun video helps, but I still find it a pretty boring workout so I am glad I only 'have' to do this twice a week. I did the dishes and otherwise just relaxed with Tinus and some games. Good night 🌙

@frankwbrown i just know you’ll know the answer to this question: how do I post a video I took on my iPhone into our community chat? I keep getting the “unsupported file” error. Thanks for your help!😊

Unless I'm mistaken, MFP does not support posting videos in chat.

As a workaround, you could post your video elsewhere, and post a link to that video in the chat.

That other place could be YouTube. Or you could upload the video to iCloud and post a link to it here.

I have an Android phone, so instead of Apple iCloud, I have Google drive. Here's a link to a video I have on my Google Photos account. But formatting the URL as a "link" doesn't work — photos.google.com disallows it. So accessing it requires copying/pasting the URL manually.

https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipNt0UECkg6zbtwoj-511Z1c23oJ9gUJ2vo3oogx

I don't know whether this would be the case for an iCloud URL.

@frankwbrown Thank you!! I’m going to try these ways and figure out what’s best. I really appreciate it!
