July 2 - What I'm Thankful for Today

Today was a good day. Let me tell you why. I'm thankful I woke on time this morning and got to the Y for a great workout in the pool, extra laps, and fitness center where I did my personal best on the bike. I'm thankful for the walk when I got home. I had 10K steps shortly after I got onto the trail. I'm now at over 22K and will go over 23K when I make my last lap around the complex. I'm thankful I stopped in the office and put in a work order for my bathroom sink. I've done all I can to fix it. Russ had trouble with it, so it wasn't an easy fix, but it's fixed now. Free-flowing running water. I'm thankful I have all the notifications finished. It was fun spending time with you today. I'm thankful my weight is still going down. It's a holiday weekend, so we'll see if I can keep it down for the next two days until I get back to the Y. My birthday is in 17 days and I want to get this weight under 170. Okay, that's my day. I'm enjoying creamy cucumber/onion salad for supper. Have you made any special summer treats or fall treats if you're in the southern hemisphere? Thanks for reading. What are you thankful for today? The image belongs to me.

Thankful for a cooler day here. We never got out of the 70s. You are doing good with your weight.

@just4him We are supposed to get close to 80 today. Then on up after that.

@wolfgirl569 I need to see the forecast map to see what we got for a high yesterday.

We didn't get out of the 70s either. All that changes today as we rise into the 90s for the next three days. Thank you.

Glad your sink is fixed, and I know it’s difficult to lose weight during a holiday. You will be fine either way. I’m so thankful hubs will be around for a while longer.

I'm glad he will be too. By the way, you know the trouble this place is having? Russ put in his two-week notice a couple of days ago, and his two-month notice to move out. He got a call to work for the original property owners over in another city close to here. I'm happy for him. This place is going to seed. He's the best there is for maintenance men.

@just4him Oh, wow! I don’t blame him at all. At least he sees the writing on the wall as you do, too.

@DianneN Yes, he does. He's been the maintenance man almost as long as I've been here. When they changed owners, the maintenance women were the first to jump ship. Then the office staff with my favorite office person jumped ship. I think they'll only have one maintenance man left when I leave. Another one told me he was leaving and moving in August. Russ and I both move in September, but he won't be the maintenance man here after next week. It's sad what's happening to this place.

During the holidays we always eat something more, but I am sure you will recover soon after the holiday.

I'm going to try to keep it as healthy as possible and not eat too much at the same time. I'll be getting as much exercise as I can to combat any calories.

When I walk the trail, I get about 5K steps. When I exercise at the Y, I get about as many, so that when I'm on the trail following the workout at the Y, I get my 10K steps. Then when I walk around the complex every hour, it's another thousand steps each time so that by the end of the day, I easily have over 20K steps.

Thank you. The days of my just sitting and doing nothing are long gone. Exercise is part of my daily routine. It's good to see the scale move down. I'm glad you got through a busy week and can focus on relaxing at home this weekend. Happy Fourth of July.

I am grateful that my nephew has installed on my television a Roku streaming service so I can enjoy the reruns of shows that I remember watching as well as the crime shows on Discovery.

Achieving and surpassing your goal must of given you tremendous satisfaction! Good luck on not overeating this weekend. I'm struggling but will refocus come Monday. I'm thankful for the rain we've been having the last few days. After a number of days in the 90's the plants really needed it. Now my flowers are pretty again

Good Physical workout and walk figures. I would love to be in such a green place as shown in the picture. We have planned a chocolate cake from cake pre-mix for the dinner. We plan to have Green tea after the cake to neutralize some of the "Heavy-Duty" effects of that cake !!

No I really haven't, but I have been getting ice cream once in a while. I know I shouldn't but I'm trying to start working out better so there's that.

Good luck with getting your weight down by your birthday. Mine is 29 July but we'll be at an endurance ride somewhere I think.
