1) Gorgeous weather
2) Class went quite well
3) Unexpectedly got to spend an extended amount of time with two people I am close to
4) First “weight loss” compliment. Man noticed I had lost weight and said I looked very nice. YES! I had noticed changes, but was waiting to get to the stage when others noticed – 1 month for YOU to see a difference, 2 months for your friends to see a difference, 3 months for the rest of the world to notice.
5) Good conversation with female friend, shared coffee and gelato. Mmm.
6) Gift from above-mentioned friend; very creative with cute seashells and little chocolates.

4) My heel was a bit sore but seems to be better after I started wearing more cushioned shoes during those high-impact workouts.
