It’s time for another edition of Fit Five Friday, and since it is the first Friday of the month I’m linking up with Deborah and Coco for the Ultimate Coffee Date. So let’s chat a bit. (This post contains an affiliate link).
April Coffee Catch Up
Over coffee, I would first tell you that I hit a big milestone this week – I’m now 6 weeks post surgery! I’ve had this date circled as 6 week would mark when my surgeon said I’d have no restrictions. Now, I still am not cleared to run just yet, but I can take on more strength training and more walking miles…all of which will get me back there.
Over coffee, I would tell you that tomorrow I’ll be picking up a new walking buddy – a puppy! My hubs and I have been wanting to get a second dog and have been debating when…well then this little face appeared in my feed from one of the rescue groups I follow and we had our answer! He’s a German Shepard/Great Prynees mix and I can’t wait to meet him and add him to our family (Fingers crossed our current Shepard feels the same way!).
Over coffee, I would share that one of my goals for this year is to make more time for reading and so far so good. One of my latest reads was The First Lie Wins — oh so good! It’s face-paced thriller that will keep you guessing right to the end. If you haven’t read it, I’d encourage you to add it to your list.
OK, your turn, what would you tell me over coffee?

Gosh, it is puppy season around here! So much fun!
First Lie Wins is on my kindle — I need to read it!
Glad your rehab is going so well!
Oh let me know what you think of First Lie.
A PUPPY!!!!! I hope we get to hear all about him with lots of photos. Good luck- I know puppies are a lot of work but it will be so worth it.
Yay for hitting your six week milestone. Sounds like things are going well and I’m glad to hear it.
Puppies are a lot of work and you’re right so worth it. I can’t wait to pick up the little guy 🙂 I promise to share pics!
That was a great book-enjoy! So glad you are on your way back to recovery. Baby steps! Enjoy your new puppy!
It was a good read! And, I hear that the movie rights have been purchased – I’ll be interested to catch that one.
How great that you’ve reached the six-week mark and are cleared for doing most things! Here’s to daily gains as you regain your strength.
Oh my goodness, that cute puppy face! I hope you’ll be posting lots of pictures.
Felt so good to hit the 6 week mark! I’m looking forward to lifting again.
Awhhhh, another little furry friend added to our circle 😉 Have you thought about a name yet, or is that classified until he’s officially in your house? What a cutie! I seriously need to commit to reading more than blogs. I’ve been in my house a year, and I have only been in the library for a city council meeting thus far (I know, #MyBad). You’ve inspired me!!
We’re naming him Ryker 🙂
Seriously the reading has kept me from doom scrolling on social.
I enjoyed that book, too! Did you read Has Anyone Seen Charlotte Salter? by Nicci French. I enjoyed that one and The Three Lives of Cate Kay (Wendy recommended that one!)
OMG that puppy!! Precious. I hope it works out!
Aww congrats on your new sweet boy! So cute!!! We were just talking about this at work–I could never volunteer at a shelter because I’d want to take them all home.
So glad that your recovery is going well!
Oh my goodness look at that sweet face! You know I’m all about puppies, and he is just the cutest! Please give him 80,000 kisses from me!
Yay for being six weeks post surgery! Your recovery has been going so well!
Ahhh, congrats on your new puppy!! So so cute! <3
I haven’t read First Lie Wins yet but it’s on my list!
