Slightly early weigh in ☆ Appt. to get labs done. I had to go out in the chilly rain this morning....no coffee til after ☔️😕☕️
Today is the last day of rain...expecting sunshine & warm temps for a few days starting tomorrow 🌞 I bought a few annuals to pop in my planters on Tuesday, so I can finish doing that. I was able to plant some begonias, succulents & an impatien yesterday evening when we got a break in the rain.
Monday, the tree guys came & cut down the huge white pine by the deck. Amazing, they were able to drop it between the house & the other trees without hitting a thing! I have 2 hardwoods that I didn't want damaged....and of course we didn't want it to fall on the house 😳 They chipped up branches & hauled the tree trunks onto the adjacent wooded property.
I was tempted to stay home & work in the yard, since it was sunny but convinced myself to get my butt to the Gym. I wasn't feeling it, so my workout was so so, but it was still a workout. Yesterday, Hubby joined me again & I was a little more motivated. I did have a limited time to get done, cause Hubby was going out for the evening & we needed to be home by a certain time. Decent workout though.
Tuesday, I saw the Cardiology NP for a follow-up. She praised my continuing to maintain my weight & workout routine. The heart rate specialist I saw in January had suggested I go back on blood thinners as a precaution ( history of Afib). My last incident was years ago, though. I told the NP I felt with my change in lifestyle, my risk was greatly reduced. Traditionally, risk goes up after age 65. I don't want to take blood thinners & she agreed....for now.
Housework & laundry today.
