Beautiful Day

I love the sun!  Today I took a 30 minute walk down to our lake that has a small beach and then around my neighborhood.  It was 54 degrees out.  I had to guilt myself into going.  I'm so glad that I did.  I have UnitedHealthcare as my Medicare Advantage plan and I love it!  If I do 30 minutes or more of exercise 10 times a month, I get $10 reward money on my OTC card.  I had Covid in January so I had to work out at home 2 times when I couldn't get to the gym.  Then I got sick again for a few days and then I really hurt my rib diving in my car after a large iced coffee that I knocked over so I haven't been to the gym since last Wednesday.  Not happy about that.  So I'm just glad that I went for a walk!  Tomorrow I am going to the gym and just doing the treadmill.  I hope everyone had great weather today!

Good job! Keep it up! I love walking outside. Really clears my head, too. I try to do my walk at least 3 times a week. Try, lol.

Enjoy!

Thanks everyone! I don't get enough fresh air. The beach had been cleared of grass in a large area so I think once bathing suit weather comes, I will go to the beach. I hope my bathing suit still fits. I've gone down a few sizes since last year. My best friend talked me into getting the bathing suit which was on sale for $62. I really love it.

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
