Rolling along

A week ago it looked like we went straight from winter weather into summer with a few days of blue skies and temperatures of above 25 Celcius. Then a week of colder weather followed and today we are in the twenties again. I love baking in the sun whenever I can....
I seldom come out of my bed before 9:00 - 9:30 AM, but my former colleague Pat had me rise early to have a coffee with her in Niagara Falls. We did international project work together in Tanzania, Mozambique and the Caribbean. She is currently based in St Lucia overseeing a program with several Canadian colleges in the Caribbean island states. 
For the first time in probably 20-25 years did I hit the 200 pounds mark again. During the past three years I have lost a good 30 pounds by eating a lot less and intermittent fasting (no eating anymore after 6 PM and not before 9-10 AM). Also almost every day either walking, swimming or some modest stretching and rowing in our basement. Feels good.
Yesterday I was a few hours on the road (11,000 steps) picking up a few bags of garbage. Stiff later in the afternoon, but next day already recovered. Can't complain about the fitness at age 67. Love the fact that we are passed the winter period again!
