(Monday, 17/02/2025).
TL;DR usual start of the day, did some chores, had some relaxing, managed OK in the end.
Woke just a bit before the alarm. The scale wasn't my friend, even though the health score wasn't too bad. Maybe the training is slowly giving me some muscles back which made me gain some? 
But I do still need to lose several kilo's... I got dressed, took my meds, cared for Arwen. When she was eating happily and her treats where in the right spots, I headed to the gym.
Checked my social bits online while waiting for the meds to kick in. A man approached me, I helped him a while ago when he lost his wallet at the gym, and he thanked me again, as it had really helped him to get his things back. 
I said it was my pleasure to have been able to help out, and then we both went to the p do our things. I rode the seated bike first, and after half an hour, I saw that the Smith Machine area was free. So I got my gloves and headed there. I added a wee bit of weight, and did four sets. Three of 8 reps and the last one with ten. I had 2*6,25 kg on the bar, so including the bar (11,3 kg), I'd been pushing 23,8 kilo's. Not too shabby! 
After ten minutes in the massage chair, I got ready to head back home again.
I have Arwen her supplements, I washed up, and I fixed brekky. After brekky, Arwen and I got ready for walkies. It was a colder night, so Arwen was wearing her coat again. I guess she liked the warmth, as she had all the time for all the sniffs, while I was slowly becoming an ice popsicle 
. We walked the "medium" route and some open spots where there was more wind... That was rather cold!
When we got back, I changed clothes and I headed upstairs. Rode the bike for 45 minutes and then I rowed for almost ten minutes. Changed clothes again and fixed some food. Then it was time to walk Arwen again. On the way back, bestie called me, so we chatted as she was riding to her work. In the mean time, Arwen and I had gotten home, so we were warm and comfortable again.
When bestie had hung up, I went upstairs and I cleaned up the things that dad and I had used the previous day to hang the shelves. Then I changed the filters for the ventilation system. I hoovered the upstairs area. Back down, I hoovered there as well. A bit of relaxing on the couch. Then it was 9, and I could call (yay) PayPal, as my account was having issues...
I spend 38 (!!) minutes on the phone and apparently, it was an error with PayPal, and not with me! They could not reset my password for me, so I had to re-activate an older account so they could transfer the things to that account. As they could not get me logged in with their password reset options.... I was drained after that call! But there was no time to relax, as I had to walk Arwen.
She was very lucky, as the neighbor was also out on walkies, so Arwen scored extra nomnoms. When we got back, I crashed on the couch a bit with some telly, as I was exhausted from the busy morning.
Then it was time to get ready for the last walkies of the day. I prepared everything and then I texted the neighbor. We headed out for walkies. The sun was nice but the wind was still rather chilly. We had a nice walk.
A hour on the couch and watching Supernatural, and then it was time for Arwen's last wee, so I could head to bed.
I had a decent enough night, but some weird dreams, so when I woke, I didn't feel all rested. But hey ho, let's start the new day...
