Lighten Your Limbs With Friends

Hi @contentandwell, How are you doing? Today was the end of the 7th week of Lighten Your Limbs. You are absolutely right that success breeds success. It feels great to say today ended the 7th week of exercise. I'll miss two days over the weekend when we have our son home for Christmas. He only gets two days off, so we have to make the most of every minute.So my 8th week will be five days. But, that's okay. I'm still Walking On with Willie and Connect members who are continuing.
We do not buy presents for each other. We give to local food banks and toy drives for children. Our county is one of the poorest in the state so there are many people who need everything. So sad. But we need nothing, so we spend on others. It makes me happy, and we just enjoy being together.

@retiredteacher Thanks for asking, Carol. I'm doing pretty well. The last couple of days I have been a real overachiever because on top of my exercise I have been running around like a crazy person so that has added a lot of steps and activity on my tracker.
That's so nice that you contribute what you would spend on Christmas to people in need. We do still give gifts but we also donate to various food and clothing drives. I did volunteer work at the Food Bank so that's particularly close to my heart. I had to quit because it was all standing and my knee became very painful so I couldn't stand for four hours anymore.
