Judy, how fortunate that there are M & M's in your life. A great way to follow up your walk.
Men, you are the busy one today/Thursday. Don't those afternoon naps feel heavenly? I'll cross my fingers for a dry Saturday for you.
We were on the road yesterday--1 hour trip in the morning to have the radio replaced on the new car. Grrr. I comforted myself with a trip to Macy's. Bike ride in the evening with a walk between. 15,628 steps. Good stepping on Wednesday, too. I'm trying to compensate for the lean days.
I've done 2 walks by noon today, so I'm over my 10K. It's out to the garden after lunch. Finally. Slow planting with all the rain. Shrinking garden each year--ha!
I got my two "scooter walks" to school today, got in over 17 miles in spinning class and I finished ALL of my gardening this afternoon. I already had my soil prepared so putting in plants and seeds were easy. I got mine in between rains.
Tonight we have the youngest's piano recital to attend. I am hoping she can still fit in her flower girls dress from 2 summers ago. She's very tall, long limbed and slender so the dress should fit. Only three more school days for the youngest two and the teenager goes til Friday. Then it's time for summer fun!
Oh, I did weigh myself at the gym today for the first time in a long time. I had drunk two 32 oz of water the hour and a half before the weigh in and I still lost nine pounds since March. That was unexpected for sure.
Bless all those teens in Santa Fe and those fifth graders in New Jersey on the bus. So much tragedy this week.
Hugs to all and sad feelings fo...See MoreMy gosh, you gals are like a blur, such moving! great activities. Men, 9 pounds is a wonderful accomplishment. I was down almost 2# today at WW. Stress. judy, Love the M&M rewards. I have a bag stashed, when needed!
Elaine, you will soon need a new pair of shoes, with the steppin' you do!! :)
Hugs to all and sad feelings for the staff, students, parents, and families of Santa Fe and New Jersey. What heartbreaks for these schools and communities.
Trying to keep up with the stepping. today, so far, 8,507. By the end of the day, I should hit the 10,000. My goal. I see Elaine is being the over-achiever! Wonderful. One busy lady.
Skimming back I see your gals are keeping busy! Great job. I will return!! :)
I didn't do...See MoreAhhh, Bev, you are going through so much lately. I am glad to see you are still trying to take care of your own health. Judy, yep there's nothing more calming then m & m's. Did you ever see that movie Zootopia a few years back? I pictured you in that movie when they went to the DMV and the customer service reps were sloths.
I didn't do any official exercising today. This has just been an extremely busy week even though I am done with school. Today alone I walked the 8 year old to school bringing her scooter and helmet home. Then I scrubbed down and polished 2 wood shelves I am going to use in my classroom in the fall. Then we had to pick up the same child to take her out of town to start her ortho work at that specialist, came home and delivered the shelves to my room. That was definitely exercise! After running to the atm, I took a short nap before taking the scooter and helmet back to pick up grand at school. (Second walk of the day), came home and gardened for 2 1/2 hours before picking up the oldest at Taekwando. I ended up taking a second nap after that. lol Tomorrow promises to be different but similar in busyness. I am looking forward to getting back on my bike Saturday to relax! Of course now they are predicting rain. Maybe I'll watch the royal wedding instead.
I didn't get into ancohort with my county because so many people applied. So I decided to go at alone. I submitted component 3 . My question is can I go ahead and register for component 1 or do I have to wait for the window to open back up?
Hello any teachers who read this. I am currently a student doing research about problems in schools and it would be greatly appreciated if you could fill out this survey to help me out

How wonderful that DGS shows promise in running; our DD had a high school/college/post college running career, and it was an amazing time in her (our) life. With how well you take care of yourself, you'll be boosting your longevity big-time!
Yesterday I eeked out 12,178 steps with 3 walks; the last one with DH was a bit of a bust--lots of high water that we had to tiptoe through, and we were a bit disappointed that the mayflowers aren't out yet.
Today I have 10,603 steps in so far + a yoga class. It's hot and muggy--way too nice to stay indoors. There are two meetings on my horizon yet; otherwise, I'd be grubbing in the mud--ha! I have only 4 chapters left in my audio book: "Before we were Yours," a sometimes brutal story about the children (abused and many died) black marketed to adoptive parents in the Tennessee Children's Society Home during the 1930's. It takes my breath away. Maybe I should walk a few more steps--ha!
I am really supporting him on distance running as he shows a lot of promise for cross country. He has the right body type, he loves to run and he's competitive. Fortunately this jr/sr high school's cross country is a very successful sport in the state and many kids get scholarships to Div I schools. That is his best chance at going to college financially. The youngest one is very well balanced in her activities and is strong in academics. I like to think I will still be around to see them going to post high school but like everything else, one never knows.
Anyway, although I took it easy, the whole day is over already. The rest of the week looks to be similar as the schools try to pack in a lot at the end of the year.
I hope to go on a special bike ride the community is organizing this week to commemorate the college student who was killed this month on his bike. I think I can fit it in.
