It is 210 Days (30 WEEKS) since I started posting my Daily Food Diary. Thirty full weeks without a single miss. π€π
It is 3 days since I started running daily. Today our air quality is ‘moderate’ coming in at a number 5. Dan and Molly walked alone. Today being a Wednesday, I will do a weight/cardio workout after my aerobics. Tomorrow, hopefully the smoke will clear and I will be able to get in Run #3.
This is summer in Saskatchewan. Cold, wet, hot, humid, smokey, clear, dry, and windy! This morning it was +6 Celsius when I got up. (42.8 Fahrenheit). π―
The one positive of having a cold smokey summer day, is that it helps control the mosquitos and other obnoxious little bugs that generally thrive around here. Of course it also discourages the butterflies and bees as well. Such is life!
On the upside, I spent yesterday dressing up our patio furniture with the new seat cushions Dan bought yesterday. If the smoke clears, I am ready to drag out a space heater and blanket to enjoy a bit of fresh air.
In other news, my Lose It! app sent me a notice this morning. For the past 29 days, I have averaged 221 calories over my net calorie daily goal. π
And in more news, Google just noted that I should have written ‘lost it’ instead of ‘Lose It!’ (Google isn’t wrong. π)
To be honest… While I have been noting a LOT of extra calories this month, I haven’t taken any credit for extra calories burnt this month.Β I do spend as much time as possible out in our yard – cleaning, weeding, watering (much of it with a heavy metal watering can).Β And, Molly is into super shedding mode so I also spend a lot of time in theΒ house dealing with that situation.

Anne, I so hope the air gets better so you can run again. I wish you could share some of your cold, It is in the 90’s here with a heat index of 111 before noon. What you said under Molly’s photo gave me a laugh. Having to clean up hair is not funny or fun. Molly is just helping you burn calories cleaning up the hair while she rests. π Take care sweet Anne and have a great day. Hugs

Shes exhausted because with all that running she knows Mom is going to trip over a leaf and bash her head in. It’s a worry.
I admire you sis.

running! I would like to be able to, I actually did once when it was pouring down rain and I had to get to the car. I was pretty proud of myself!

Thank you, Mags. I too hope the smoke clears and wish we could trade a bit of our heat and cold to get something a bit more comfortable. π Have a great day! πβΊοΈ

I haven’t tripped yet AND I have run TWICE. Molly is just being a drama queen. She does that. π Have a good day, sis. I hope you are up for a walk and your weather cooperates!

I get it, Martha. The last time I ran was when Dan and I took Molly for a walk and we realized we had forgotten her poop bags at home. π Have a great day! π

It seems rather chilly in Regina, Anne. I’m glad the smoke has abated some, I hope you get that next run in!! There are small treadmills like I have that work fine in smaller rooms like I have. You can run indoors year round!

Thank you, Terry! She has two speeds. That is one of them. It’s hard to get a clear photo of her when she is going the other.π
