I am comfortably into the second half of my first year as a dedicated health conscious, working out, active senior. π
Right now I am focusing on walking, dancing, and weights – with a once a week You Tube Zumba class and Sunday as a dedicated day of rest (except for walking).
I have been seeing encouraging results from all of my efforts, but I have to say, I am particularly impressed by the walking lately. Not because of my accomplishments, but because Molly is doing SO well. I also have to say that the most surprising thing about walking Molly has been the neighbourhood support. It is unreal. She has a regular fan club going and we meet new members every day. π

My dancing was a struggle today. I didn’t notice Molly run outside with Dan’s favorite pillow but I did see her run back in with just the pillow case.

Fearing the worst, I paused my dancing to run outside and ask Dan if he had seen his pillow run by. He called Molly, who turned around and followed me back into the house. I un-paused my music and resumed dancing until Molly started chasing me around the house nipping at my butt. Dan came to get her off me, she panicked and ran between my legs. For the record, Molly is now taller than my legs are long. She managed to get through without toppling both of us, and Dan hustled her out the door. Unfortunately, they left three wasps behind in their wake. So, I am dancing around the house, swinging a fly swat at the wasps. I missed them several times but did manage to get them mighty worked up in the process. Final toll – 2 dead wasps and 1 still lurking around here. π
I finished my dance set and went out to water the garden. There are onions to pick for supper, lots of tomatoes and peppers to pick, and I picked a carrot and a strawberry for Dan while I was out there.
The only thing I have left to do to complete my fitness schedule for today is my weights after supper. And I am adding an extra set tonight. πͺ
That is it for today. Take care and have a great dayππ
Molly is a naughty girl, shame! I hope you get the wasp before it gets you, Anne Marie!

That was super fun…for us, not you. For the sake of your butt, you might need to get Molly some sheep. Molly: “If it’s moving, it’s my job to make sure it goes where I say.”

That’s awesome that Molly has been doing so well with her walks. Iβm not surprised that she has a fan club, sheβs so adorable. What a good girl (minus the pillow attack).

Molly can be really good now. Sometimes she chooses not to be. π
