How did this happen?’

 So all of a sudden I am fifty PLUS - and out of shape and I suppose what you could call squishy.  I always think I look okay until I see pictures and I wonder - what happened.

 I  decided it was time I did something.  Mind you, I HATE exercising and I HATE sweating.  I tried the couch method but found I don’t lose much sitting binge watching Netflix and drinking wine.  I could get quite a few steps though on my FitBit walking to the kitchen for more wine (until I got tired and moved the bottle to the end table.).

 So I started THE GET FIT CHALLENGE a local business started.  Hmmmm. I can  do this.  

 Here is a recap of my “experience”

 Week One!
Went to get signed up.  Found out I am an overachiever!!  My weight is off the charts (which I guess isn’t as good as it sounds)😣😣 And it would be perfect if I was 12 inches taller.   SOOOOOO. I went the next morning at 6am to start the challenge.  It didn’t kill me so I did it again 2 days later!

 Ps...  I was told wine was OK in moderation.  What exactly is moderation???🥂🥂🥂🥂
Week 2 I learned:
-Somewhere deep inside me are these things people like to call abs.  Not going to lie, THEY HURT 😔
-I really do hate sweating
-Wine is “moderation” makes for a tough 6am  workout
-My FitBit does not give me enough credit !!!
-Did I mention I hate to sweat ?

 But on a positive note, the second week was easier than the first!!

  As I am writing this it is almost the end of August and we are taking our home on wheels camping.  This is our 3rd time out (can’t count the countless hours I sat in the driveway in it because I needed  a vacation.) Our first outing was to a country music fest in Karlstad MN.  Appropriately called Kickin Up Kountry.   We went with siblings and outlaws and had a blast.  Naturally we pull up and the camper RIGHT NEXT DOOR is a classmate of mine from high school and his wife.  What are the odds.   AND It was hot out so we all know I was a sweaty mess for 3 days.   You know it’s bad when I wear a cowboy hat AND a t-shirt at the same time.  With an umbrella and a fan.   So not my fashion statement but I plan on wearing it again next year!!!   Saw my first Baja races and more men in bib shorts and cowboy boots than I care to count.  Working on Scott’s wardrobe for next year.😄😀 Our second outing was a staycation.   We camped in our hometown park.  It was so fun.  We couldn’t go home no ma

  OMG.  I can't believe it's June already.  The older I get the faster time goes and the less I seem to do. Sleeping has become one of my favorite pastimes and some nights are better than others. The other morning I had my alarm set really early because I had a meeting and needed to be ON TIME!!  Hate when that happens but that's a whole other rant.  People that show up for appts anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes early….  Not going there. So, my alarm goes off and I don’t want to wake up Scott that early.  I usually turn it off right away, hop out of bed with a smile on my face singing a song but this day I couldn't do it.   My arm was completely numb.  So I flop over and try to grab my phone.  I yank the cord out of the wall and the phone falls under the bed.  I then roll on the floor (literally) to find the phone.  Meanwhile my right arm is somewhere else and I can't find it.   By this time my alarm is getting LOUDER AND LOUDER and I want to shut it off but I need my

Beach Whales and Adorable Dolphins

As I told you in March after my exciting travels to St. Louis, I again got to do some traveling in April.   Scott and I got the opportunity to go to Los Cabos and stay at the Hilton Golf and Beach Resort.  Not going to lie, it was a tough week.    I was nervous about going thinking Scott would get bored easily…..   I was totally wrong.  We were up everyday at 6:30 to get to go and save our chairs by the pool/hot tub/swim up bar.  Then off to breakfast and back to our chairs for my morning “juice”.  My favorite flavors were either strawberry or banana with a tinge of rum.    We met some amazing new friends and one of them showed Scott how to locate the whales that were migrating.  SOOOO, while I sat in my chair sipping my juice and reading, Scott became the “WHALE WHISPERER”.   Kids were all over that.  And adults too.  He would stand in the infinity pool and point to the water.  Not sure there were whales or not but he swears they were out there and his “followers” found them too.   My
