ReplyDeleteThe sun has helped to keep my spirits up 😊
DeleteA lovely week and so many reasons to be cheerful! xx
ReplyDeleteI feel less stressed for some reason. It has been a good week xx
DeleteI really liked your reasons for being cheerful and thankful, this week! Well done on the Life Style changes, too! I think that getting your first dose of the vaccination, too, has played a part in your feeling better about things. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Bless. I've noticed a change in my friends, who've also had the vaccine, and they all seem to be feeling more upbeat. The vaccine has introduced that little bit of hope that there will be an end to the current situation.
DeleteLooks like you had a wonderful week, Eileen.
ReplyDeleteHere’s to another wonderful week!
Thanks Nil. It has been a good week and now we have another week of sunny weather to enjoy ... that helps keep me feeling positive.
DeleteCongrats on meeting your weight loss goal. Toasted sandwiches sound like a good idea :) I allow one day off a week for exercise to allow for a resting day. Even on that day, though, I tend to do some yoga or stretching or some such. I'm still enjoying the walking videos as a way to get in 30 minutes of cardio a day. I'm so grateful for so many online resources!
ReplyDeleteI trust the coming week will go as well for you as the last one did :)
Thanks. I love toasted sandwiches but they could also be my downfall with the weight loss so I'll have to be sensible!
DeleteI'm focusing on walking as my activity for the time being. I find it easier to manage any strain on my knee when walking but following today's diabetes course, I may add in a bit of yoga as well.
