Friday is my rest day, but I got a lot of steps anyway. DD and I did our favorite Rick Bhullar indoor walk, and then I did a lot of walking at Costco, etc.

I bought a Fitbit Inspire 2 new in box from an eBay seller. I got this one because it can be worn on the wrist and check heartrate as I'm working out and give me some idea of calories burned, but (more importantly) it can be worn in a clip attached to a bra and catch my steps without being visible or annoying. So that's how I plan to wear it most of the time. Just tucked away, capturing all my steps as I walk around Portugal. It was quite cheap, and I got some clips and a different band for really good prices on Amazon.

Diana and Linda, in Portugal they have electric metal shutters that close over windows. So that would completely block out the light, I think. It would probably be great for sleeping! They stay up later over there culturally, even the kids.

P.S. Linda, in case you missed it, we are moving to Portugal in a few weeks!

Have a great weekend!

Cheryl, oh my goodness you're leaving the USA? Can I come too? Are you taking all of your equipment? What's your daughter think about this? One of my husband's bosses at fema was from Portugal. She went there to visit family once a year. Since my sweetie works 6p til 6a I'm getting closer to being on his schedule when he's off. I finally go to sleep around 4a and get up at noon. I had to get up at 5 this morning for a pancreatitis attack. I had a 5 hr nap earlier so I'll probably be up til dawn.

The anti-inflammatories have stopped the sharp screaming pain so I can do the stretches from PT again. Three sets of 10, 3 times a day leaves no time for anything else. They're moving stretches, no static holds.

Hi Everyone!

No workout to report. I did a little shopping (looking), no buying since I didn't see anything I liked. Met my step goal.

Have a Blessed evening!

After sleeping 16 hours last night all I had energy for was a little shoulder rehab. At least with meds the pain isn't excruciating anymore. I hope the pain is gone and I get full ROM by Wednesday. It's just a day I picked because I'm impatient.

Check-in: Abs challenge days 13 and 15. (14 was a rest day)

I am hoping for some results from this. I'm close to goal weight, but my 5 extra pounds are all around my waist.
