Gotta love it, June Bloom, not June Gloom. :)

Here’s where Bedhead2 started the next monthly hooping goal. Thank you so much, Bedhead!

This weekend I plan to get some sessions in for this current month.

Edit 1: Friday night, May 17 – 30 minutes DONE.
Edit 2: Sunday morning, May 19 – 30 minutes DONE.

Yesterday’s logging of my meals and exercise (and the mini-diary notes, too) resulted in me reaching 1000 days for this habit.

I’m going to restart at 1 today! Yay!

1. Yesterday going rather smoothly. How remarkable! Enjoying the green everywhere!
2. This site. Thanks. I need this as a separate place to be.
3. Having a chance to walk around the building.
4. Staying motivated with my healthy practices.
5. My DH making a delicious dinner. How lucky I am.

1. Survived Monday.
2. My shirt and jacket combination. Hadn’t paired them together (or if I had, it was a long time ago).
3. Renewed motivation.
4. Spring has sprung. A photo of the tree down the block.
5. The lunch my DH made me.

I enjoyed a fantastic session for 30 minutes this morning, after my coffee but before breakfast. I was watching the movie Charade with Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant while doing my favorite FRI (Five-minute Reverse Intervals).

1. My mother. Hugs to those of you missing your mom. Congrats to the mothers and grandmothers: Thanks for making the world a better place.
2. Blossoms. My backyard view.
3. Blue skies.
4. The cleanest garage we ever had.
5. My DH sharing his knowledge of history. It’s so interesting to me now (what a change from when I was a schoolgirl).

The wheels fell off on Tuesday. But today I’m back to recording the meals, the emotions, and the exercise. I’m so close to one thousand entries. It will be this week. Yay!

Yesterday I got a prettier stretchy band for my Moleskinesque notebook, to inspire the beauty that having this brings to my life.

1. Walking to and from the restaurant with my DH last night.
2. The first lilacs!
3. Lemonade.
4. Figuring out the source of the leak!

2. More beautiful blossoms.
3. Coffee with my favorite colleague.
4. More playoff hockey. Hawks win! Hawks win!
5. My DH getting the office and garage organized. Woo hoo!

3. No coat.
4. Playoff hockey.
5. My DH taking care of the correspondence. Thank you so much.

I did my 30 minutes before breakfast yesterday. Yay!

43 saves by the Wild’s goaltender Josh Harding on Friday night. Fortunately for the Blackhawks, he let 4 shots go through so they could win the game.
43 dollars given to the cashier on Saturday morning for groceries.
43-1 were the published odds for a horse, Vyjack, in yesterday’s Kentucky Derby.
43 was painted on a car that I saw on my walk in the neighborhood. Looked like a road rally car.

I hooped it up on those days. There might have been another day somewhere in there that I’m not accurately recalling.

I’ve rediscovered the heavy hoop as an instrument for all sorts of stretches and light calisthenics-type exercises. Woo Hoo!

This evening I repeated my previous routine: reversing the flow every five minutes for a total of 30 minutes. Yay.

I did 30 minutes this morning before breakfast. I did my favorite intervals of reversing the flow around my core every five minutes. This time I concentrated on the upper abs to start and ended with the focus on the lower abs. Feelin’ all six of the six-pack for this workout. Woo hoo!
