Today I did a Total Body Strength workout from Fitness Blender, and I walked several miles. We went with some friends to the tree lighting at the Porto main square. All the lights in the city came on tonight.

Tomorrow I won't work out as we're driving to beautiful Viana do Castelo. DD is having an overnight with a friend. They will go ice skating in Vigo, Spain, which is only about 45 minutes north of there. It will be a great memory for her! DH and I wll go see some houses and spend some time in the town. It will be a busy, but good, weekend.

Diana, even a fan would not dry clothes here in the wet season. It is just too wet. It's hard to explain. Wetness clings to the floors and comes through the walls. Sometimes the sheets feel damp. It's the way the homes are built, I think. Something different about this culture.

Check-in: Winsor Pilates.

Cheryl, have a great trip. Your DD ice skating in Spain! I haven't done a lot of ice skating as an adult in CA, but did a lot of it as a kid in NJ. The town's river would freeze and we skated for hours.

Diana, I'm sure your church will look very festive.

Waving hi to Linda and Lynn.

Good Morning, Everyone!

I was tired last night from the busy day I had and didn't post. We decorated the church for Christmas and everything turned out really nice. It was kinda sad though, that we didn't have as many people there as we have in the past. Looking back to last year, I can see the people who are no longer there, etc. Yesterday afternoon I went for a long walk. I wanted to do some strength training but my DH was watching a football game so I didn't want to bother him.

Steps from yesterday: 13,010

Have a Blessed day and stay safe and healthy!

Diana3271 · 12-03-23, 08:04 PM
