Today is laundry day. I've been at my son's since early this morning. It proved to be an interesting morning. My grandson, asleep when we got there, woke shouting about a bee in his hair. It turns out there's a huge almost basketball-sized hornet's nest in the basement near the washer. It didn't take my son long to call his landlord. He's sending the bee guy out tomorrow. A search showed where they were getting into the house under the siding on the back corner of the apartment house.
I also wanted to check out a health food grocery store near his apartment. I'm enjoying some fresh cored pineapple. After shopping, he brought me home so I could finally have breakfast, which I'm just finishing. It's probably lunch since it's after 12 noon.
While the washer was doing its thing and before I knew there was a hornet's nest in the basement, I got 20 minutes on the treadmill. More exercise while I watched TV with my son, and a good walk in, accomplishing my 10K steps. I also have over a hundred minutes in exercise.
That was my interesting morning. I'll be shopping at Fresh Thyme in the future. It's a little more than regular grocery stores, but the food is fresh and it's healthy.
That brings me to yesterday's numbers. Yesterday proved to be a very good day too. I ate more than I wanted, but most of it was fruit. So, though the calories are higher than usual, this morning's weigh-in brought me back to my low. So, it was all good. Here are my numbers.

Yesterday's weight dropped four ounces. Today dropped it 2.4 pounds. After the excitement of the morning, I don't know if I can top that for the afternoon. I did figure out some things for Vendetta while I was on the treadmill, so it's a good day. How did you do with food and exercise yesterday? Thanks for reading. Image courtesy of Pixabay.

Good deal for the new store and weight loss. Calories were good yesterday, exercise not so much..although I did go on a short walk maybe 1,000 steps.

Thank you. I really like the store. It's been around for a while, but I didn't want to shop there thinking the prices would be awful. They weren't bad. My pool friend gave me a flyer for the store a while back and I saw the prices were comparable.
It's better than no walk. I hope you're having a good day.

Just goes to show that exercise is good for the mind as well as the body.

Oh no, that would be so scary to wake up to! Good that it was figured out and someone will be there to take care of it soon. Your numbers sound good, and that is good to hear about your weigh in today.

@MommyOfEli2013 I'm sure it was a nightmare. My sister-in-law got into a car accident and broke her legs because of a bee in the car. This was a few years ago.

I would've ran out of there so fast! Omg.
Glad you found a new place to shop.
