Friday January 23rd - a slightly belated Happy Birthday Lloyd

Conditions at 5:30 am: overcast and -6', feeling a little more like -12'
Expected later: a mix of sun and cloud and going down to -8 this afternoon. Then who knows what the weekend is going to bring. Right now it's looking like three separate weather systems are heading this way and depending on which direction they take, we could be receiving a pile of rain or a ton of snow. We'll have to wait and see what happens. Could winter actually be on it's way... finally?


A Happy Birthday to my sweetie, albeit a day late. It wasn't much of a celebration as I got home at 5:30 and after a quick supper I was off to pick up Brenda to go to the gym. We had our second fitness class scheduled so I was home and then gone within an hour. Not much of a birthday for him - and he cooked supper! We have a friend coming over for supper on Sunday so I'll bake him a birthday cake then, and our guest can take the leftovers home!

Brenda and I attended a  class at the Fitness Centre over in Mount Stewart on Wednesday evening. We had no idea that such a comprehensive facility was so close to us. We enjoyed endured our first class and decided we would each purchase a two month membership, that will take us to the end of March. Our hope is by that time we can get out and walk or bike to continue our fitness goal.  Here's hoping...


We survived our second class last night and even stayed to do some stationary bike riding for about a half hour. We felt very pleased with our efforts as we left the gym.  There's a morning class on Saturdays that we plan to attend as well, at least for now, while I'm off on those days.

Our class last night was something I've never done before. We did a series of exercises using a long bar that weighed 9 pounds.  Not a lot of weight but for us newby's enough to feel it. Other bars are heavier but we chose to go with the lightest and that was enough.No point in killing ourselves the first week out!
