Kat, just now clicked on your gym log... never noticed it before! Love love love those night photos!

Thanks Jenny - it's a place to put my walking pix. My camera doesn't take great night shots but some turn out ok. It's also motivation to exercise - I am still in the 2 hr challenge but activity there has waned....

**making an entry and catching up with desert pics -( yowie, today is 4/15/18!!)
These were taken Sat 9/17/16 so I walked on this day- found the entry in my J - 30 min:
Walking around the shopping area - I probably parked in one of the parking lots. I guess I only took a few pics.

Little barrel cactuses (cacti?) lining the sidewalk...

Pretty oleander - dark out still, though...

Oh my gym log... I am backed up on pictures...just no time to mess with them and post them. I'll get them caught up eventually.
.
The 2 hours a week exercise challenge has no activity lately so I stopped posting. I sit on my Fitball for 8 hours a day at work. I bounce when I can Not a lot of exercise otherwise...just too damn hot or I am too tired out lately. I am hoping the changes I make in my eating will help with energy. For the most part I am getting enough sleep. I usually dance to Pandora when I cook on Sundays but lately it's minimal.

catching up here - I see I made a place holder for this week in December!

The only pics I have at this point are
Sat 10/15/16 - my J says it was a 50 min walk around the neighborhood. Palm trees look nice against the pre-dawn sky...

These pretty orange flowers everywhere...

Pink rose bushes in bloom still...

Poor tree, has a partially dead/dying area...

Halloween decorations up around the neighborhood...

I think this fruit is edible on these cactuses... I finally looked up - is it cacti or cactuses? I guess both work, a matter of preference.

Halloween poster of an Elvira-type on her door for Halloween...

I did a place holder for this week but don't have pics for this week, so I guess I didn't do anything.
