So Sad

On my walk today I noticed lots of masks and rubber gloves on the ground. I took pictures of some. It’s amazing how people will just drop them not he ground. Maybe some were by accident but the others should have put them in trash cans. It’s getting to be a mess in our neighborhood. I’m walking a few miles a day now and when I see these, I get sad.

Ouch!

My husband and I were out walking today getting some great exercise. The weather was nice and there were birds flying around. I looked up to see if I could see any around. I wasn’t paying attention to where I was walking and tripped over an uneven sidewalk square. I felt down and got the injuries you see below. Luckily I didn’t hit my head or face. But I did slam my phone into the sidewalk. Clearly it’s not working correctly. So I just ordered another one. It will be here in a few days. I hope the cuts heal soon because they are hurting right now.

Dead Trees

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m walking outside as much as I can these days. I’ve figured out a route that I like and it gets my heart rate up without tiring me out too much.

I’ve started noticing people are putting their Christmas trees out for the garbage the last few days. All along my route there are scenes like this one. The poor trees have done their job and they are not put on the curb to die. Luckily the city does a good job of recycling the trees into much for around the city. We took our decorations down on Saturday and the trees are on the loading dock for the recycling.

Cathedral Visit

Yesterday we took a walk up to the Cathedral to see the decorations. I was so pleased that I was able to walk up that big hill to the Cathedral and not feel winded. I took some nice pictures while we were there. The iPhone 11 Pro Max has such a good camera system!

Walking Outside

Today I had a good walk outside. I walked just over two miles. This time I went up low incline hills and got my heart rate up over 100 bpm. I felt really good and didn’t feel too tired at all. My heart worked great. I’d like to get up to three miles but that will take some time. I was also able to close all three rings on the Apple Watch today. I haven’t lost anymore weight this week though. I’m still at 214. All in good time.
