Quiet Weekend

Riverfront RV Park Yuma, Arizona Day 5 and 6

Morning walks along the Colorado River.  The best thing about this campground is its proximity to the Wetlands Park and the river.   Such a beautiful place to begin each day.

We spent this weekend quietly.  We got chores done, I cleaned, Tim enjoyed baseball and NASCAR and football.

The highlight of me weekend was achieving my October goal in my Apple Watch competition.  Tim bought this watch for me in June.  I have worked hard for the past 144 days to close all three circles each day, meeting goals for standing, exercise, and activity.  Each month a new challenge is introduced.  In July I had to walk 125.8 miles…done!  In August I had to burn 24,302 calories…done!  In September I had to do 1,550 minutes of exercise.  Exercise means getting your heartrate up and over 100 bpm.  This was more challenging and I did it.  This month I had to walk 200.9 miles.  That’s a lot of miles.  I became determined and today, the very last day of the month, I accomplished this goal.  Mom and Tim have already asked what November’s goal is…I won’t know until tomorrow…but I am going to continue to do my best to reach higher and loftier goals.  Some days, the watch feels like a home detention anklet…it holds me accountable though and I really believe it helps me stay focused on being stronger and healthier.
