Today has been a very good day. I got up at 3 AM. I'm not sure if that was too late or not as the day just got away from me. I got my Bible study done and one of my games before I left for the pool.
I'm thankful for the time in the pool today. The hot tub was closed for cleaning so no time in there, but I still had a great workout in the pool for 40 minutes. I counted my laps this morning to 12 and then doubled it when I got out so I could calculate my distance and calories burned.
I'm thankful for the nap I got today. It was an hour and I felt rejuvenated when I got up.
I'm thankful for getting to the salon in time for my haircut. It looks great.
I'm thankful for the time I spend with you each day. I love hearing about your day in your part of the world.
I'm thankful for the exercise I got today. I bested my record with the bike today. Five miles in 21:56. That's the first time I've gone below 22 minutes. With all the steps I'm getting and my time in the pool, I'm sure it helped with my time on the bike. My average MPH was 13.7 today and I know I hit 14 MPH. When I started working out on the bike, I was lucky to get to 13 MPH. Now, I'm hitting 14 MPH. Soon 13 MPH will be history.
Here are yesterday's stats:
Swimming - .34 mile, 45 Minutes, 428 calories burned
Bike - 23:09 Minutes, 5 Miles, 126 calories burned, 114 heart rate, 13.0/53 MPH
Video - 45 Minutes
Walking - 67 Minutes, 7190 steps, 1.36 miles, 277.9 calories burned
Total calories burned - 831.9
Food - Calories - 916
Total calories - 84.1
I think I did well. I will weigh myself again on Monday.
No work today on my books. I will get the notifications finished, have dinner and relax with some TV.
That's my day. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me. My amaryllis is blooming.

A couple of things come to mind. Mainly the weather and Chilly's vet visit. We had good news for our boy. I'll be sure to post about it. For now we're letting him chill out in the bedroom.

@just4him Me too. He was very vocal, but that's a good thing. They managed to get his blood without having to knock him out.

@just4him Here she is. I got her Saturday
Your guesses were all good but wrong. They were 2 for pigs. If the winning bidder had not took all of those I would have had at least one. 2 guesses for horse...

It is good that they clean the hot tub there periodically. Sounds like a good day all round.

@LadyDuck True. Especially with delicate plants. I followed the directions on the card and put it in the window so it would get sunlight. It also doesn't take a lot of water. So, I wait until it's dry before watering. It's really beautiful.

You're making great progress on that bike Valerie (whoohoo) I would love to sit in a hot tub right now. I can envision myself just relaxing and all my muscles being grateful.
I'm grateful for the sunshine today and that the pulled muscle in my back is feeling better.
