I missed posting last week, so I'm combining two weeks for my review. Is there still interest in keeping this going?
Exercise:
(So far I'm being fairly successful at keeping this going.)
April 17 - 23 (not as much formal exercise with granddaughters visiting, but plenty of activity)
Week’s weight: up/down/maintain: I’m just going to say my weight is about even with gaining a bit the first week and taking it off the second week. (BMI=23.6)
Mental/Emotional: What did you do for yourself this week? It was, of course, delightful yet exhausting having my granddaughters visit the first week. We had excursions planned as well as a birthday to celebrate. This last week the highlight, as mentioned, was DH’s BD. We call them pop-up parties at the lake. I love it when there are others to help us eat a dessert so that I don’t have the leftovers to contend with (calling me). I gave DH for his birthday a list of links for dance moves tutorials. He was receptive, and we are learning the pretzel. I think it might be one of the hardest, and we'll move on to more once we are comfortable with the pretzel. I was a little surprised and pleased that he was willing to give it a try. We like to dance occasionally when we're out, but our repertoire of moves is limited. Last summer we danced on the lawn at the lake when someone hired a band for one of our annual events. Such fun!
