Sunny, thanks for telling us about the lingonberries. To reach an IKEA would be a day-trip for me. If I ever do have occasion to go there I'll look for those jams! Good job on extra walking with your dh.
I had to push myself to be sure I exercised this evening, because I was feeling mentally tired and socially spent. But I got it done. At this point I'm doing one third of the Total workout daily, so having some variety. When school starts and my schedule becomes set, I hope to change to more, every other day. Then when I'm ready I'll go back to harder workouts.
Lynlee, the "runner's stretch" I do with this workout would really benefit from yoga blocks, too, and some do use them for it. I usually try to go without, but in a pinch have found that another pair of rubber soled workout shoes set on either side will work. Of course, I'm not holding a pose very long like you would be, but changing more rapidly.
I'm not satisfied with consistent veggies/fruits or water yet. Working back up it, though. I finished up the last of the veggie tray from the party today. Finished the last of the fruit tray yesterday.
Hope you feel better, Ivy. That's nice to have a good first weigh-in when you start a plan.
Nancy, do you get into mosquitoes on evening walks, or have you been spared? Glad to read elsewhere that your sting is better.
Then, I did calf/leg stretches, 20 minutes of walking, no matter how painful it was, to "wake up" and get the old hips greased, oiled, so they could move better. 
you would do well to never have that happen to you again! 
If I'm doing housework and am sweating, isn't that considered a workout, too? 
In my book, any activity as long as we're moving is good.
