100 Days | Phase 2 - Day 84-86 – Restful Weekend & Unusual Flowers

EVENING REPORT

I did well this weekend. I am used to taking care of my back so I took things very easy this weekend. I stayed close to home. When I felt up to it, I did some light work and straightening up. I rested when I needed to and moved when I needed to, being careful not to twist or bend the wrong way. I was careful to stay within my food intake and I only did some easy walking in between. I still feel some stiffness around my SI joint but my back is feeling much better.

Today I had to do some errands, a friend drove me, and around the errands we stopped at a lovely shopping center. It seemed so strange to see a place so beautifully decorated and hardly any customers there. Those that were there were wearing masks, as we were too. It is still a very strange world these days. I did take snaps of some of the flowers… I love flowers and these were so pretty and many were very unusual – varieties I’ve never seen before, some looked like different flowers growing OUT of other flowers. Very interesting. But I loved them!

First - scenery on the drive up...



Then the amazing flowers...











































Although we moved slowly around the stores and shopping areas, I got some great exercise today and thankfully my back still feels good tonight.

I am all cleaned up from the day and relaxing now. I hope you all had a good day and wish you a great Tuesday.

Today’s Success:

1. Ate healthy.
2. Walked (carefully) for 2 hours.
3. Did selected strength training exercises (carefully) in early morning.
