Hi all. Thanks for the kind messages. My daughter is fine. She literally cut her face with a pair of kitchen scissors. She is 7 and I thought she would be ok with them. A and e were great though and sorted her out. She went to school today and even went on a gentle hack which I walked along with.

Sorry I didn't post on this page yesterday. I did put my numbers down on the spreadsheet. I really didn't feel like doing my exercises today. I was just so tired and feeling blah. Probably due to this cold front and cloudy skies. But I got off my lazy bottom and got outside and walked. And you know what? I actually feel pretty darn good about doing them.

I caught up on Weds. and Thurs. challenges today - had the Thurs. walk in already. Now if it would just quit raining so I could go outside, I'd get more miles in! I still have to do the Fri/Sat challenges.....but I need to rest. WHEW those are hard work! (Especially when I don't keep up daily....:laugh:

The windshield wipers are fun, and seemed easy the first time. My obliques were pretty sore the next day, though. Now they are getting a bit harder, since I'm staying sore, but I still enjoy that one! The leg lift/holds, though.......I can't say I'm enjoying.

Have a great weekend, ladies! I'll check back in later this evening! :flowerforyou:

I walked 2 miles towards the evening walk challenge.

My daughter called yesterday morning and asked if I would come over. I had a wonderful day with family, BBQ and a lot of laughing! One idea I had when I looked at changing my lifestyle was just that life I have pushed myself very hard and I can see the results. BUT I pushed very hard to where the challenge consumed me. Life...a new lifestyle. I love all my sisters in Christ and even those who aren't here at the site. I need to always keep the choices I make into perspective. So, yesterday when my daughter called early, I had a choice. My choice was lower my miles and skip the exercise for the day and move my
hinney to go see my grandchildren. I am so happy I did!

Cazzy, I pray your daughter's healing is coming along.

Congratulations on the loss moonflwr! Quitlywinnin as far as the plateau, when I was there I had to exercise more to get my metabolism up. I feel that we are each different. What works for one person may not work for another. I guess all I have to say is play with it. And finallt but not least, gklangdon, I am sure happy you enjoyed your walk outside

Today is my rest day and time with the Lord. May you all have a wonderful day!
