Here's my orchid plant today
There are 7 flowers on one of the branches
And 10 flowers on the other branch
Recently I've been making little changes to my life, just because I feel it's time to do so. In the past, I'd always make the 5 minute drive to the supermarket for my grocery shopping, Now I walk the 3 mile round trip instead and get double benefits out of it.
First, walking is healthy, we all know that. I can easily rake up my 10000 steps a day. Second, and the most important benefit, it's healthy for my wallet. When I drive, I often end up buying loads of things that I don't need. But when I walk, I avoid buying too much because I have to carry it!! Soft drinks are heavy. Ice cream will melt before I get home. I reckon I've saved quite a bit of money this way!
Actually, there's a third benefit with my little change in lifestyle. I discovered my local scenery ain't half bad. It's a very typical England residential area but I really enjoy these little walks and enjoy see the landscape change from winter into spring.
Answer to March HPUD Guessing Contest
My orchid plant is coming along nicely and the bud I showed you 10 days ago has bloomed. It was quite difficult to count the flowers,but many of you did well this month and guessed correctly. There are 17 flowers - 7 flowers on the left branch and 10 on the other. I've numbered them in the photos.
Congrats to the 8 winners of which 5 of you powered up on HPUD. Your share of the 100HP will be powered up to you soon, along with your bonus if you powered up.
See you all in April HPUD.

Yaaaay! Congrats to all the winners 🏆 👏 🙌 good for you for walking instead of driving. So many benefits
And congrats to your self as well!
There's a lot of feel good factor in these little changes, step by step getting there
Haha.. 18 was many 😂
Better luck next time..
Just one over, nearly there!!
POWER UP, I have been doing this every day for the last two years and on the first of every month I turn on at least 10 HP.
Now, I don't know if the minimum amount of ignition on the first of each month should be higher to be recorded in the Table you publish in this post.
A hug from afar full of blessings.
I run a little guessing contest every month on HPUD and the people on thd table above are those who entered, feel free to join in the next one
Woohhooo awesome ☺️ thank you so much!
Congratulations to the winners 🥳🥳
Good that you change things little by little. You will notice 😊
Have a fantastic new week Pauline

Good for the walking activity instead of driving, we try to do the same for the regular daily grocery shopping.
Guessing contest - 17 is a very nice number so the orchid also decided to have that number of flowers 😃 Thank you and congratulations to the other winners too 🌸
Maybe the orchids heard you... You must have that special power 😜
The latter must be the case hahaha 😂
Because of that, I have a little request, if you agree... 😉 I would like you to send my share from this guessing contest to anyone who maybe needs this HP more than I, who needs encouragement or to grow, actually anyone on your estimate and choice. 🙏 Thank you 🕊️
Thanks to @mipiano generosity to donate her share of the prize to someone else in need, I have added all of those who didn't win this month's HPUD Guessing Contest and have less than 5000 HP, to a random draw for 25 HP power up. The winner is @belkyscabrera. Congratulations!

Greetings friend, thank you very much.
Happy Wednesday!
Congratulations @belkyscabrera :D
Thank you very much @itravelrox.
Greetings!
I almost won, which is hard to believe, given my bad luck.
Hi @livinguktaiwan, the landscape is beautiful, I love the photos, walking is a task I have pending, I congratulate you for the constancy you keep in your walking routines, they are beneficial to health.
Oh wow! what a nice surprise, thank you very much for the prize, you really manage to surprise the users; surely you must already have the guess for the month of April.
Have a wonderful
That is so generous of you.
I just done the power up and I forgot about your request until afterwards 🙃. I will do a lucky draw for all the other participants with 5000HP or below and power up your share to them. Will update you again when done.
Thank you, the generous is you! 😇
But I am glad that you made the draw - (congratulations to the winner ✨) the added hp to my wallet activated some ideas... 🤓
@mipiano give me some guessing tips because most of your predictions are correct. You must have some kind of power like LUT said 😁
Next month then I will share with you my guessing tip - I already see it, it will be an iconic guess boosted with super powers 😁
😂
Hello maam,
Sometimes we really ignore the little things that sorround us but if we've really take a look on it, take a focus on it. We've really know how beautiful it was.., For me, the third benefit was really an eye opener, which appreciating artworks of nature.
And I had a few concern for the guessing contest maam because I'm just new here, few questions to be clarified. You mean the date of HPUD was on April 17, 2024? Which was our answer is 17, which this day I will be save and waited.
Thank you!
Regards,
Natz04
HPUD is always on the 1st of every month, but of course you can power up whenever you want.
Every month I host a contest inviting people to guess something. The answer to this month's guessing contest is 17 which is the number of flowers on my orchid plant. You guessed correctly and shared part of the prize which I have just powered up to you.
Okey, thanks for the information maam.
Came to examine the names of lucky guessers. 😜 Super-eyes like x-rays!
Better luck next time!
I have a habit of participating regularly and giving wrong answers.
I am very happy about healthy living. At least walking to the grocery store has a very positive effect on one's health. For a long time I prefer to walk most places.
Any habit is a good habit, consistency is the key 😄
No worries man, you can have some classes from me. This is my second time participating and so is the winning. 😉
10,000 steps in a day is pretty incredible in fact it's double what I do as I'm currently doing between 5000 and 6000 steps a day.
Sometimes I do only a few hundred steps a day when I don't go out!
Congrats to all the winners!
Thanks for taking part, hope to see you again next month
Too bad, I missed a few flowers. Haha congrats to all winners :D
It was a bit tricky to count to be honest, better luck next time!
Yay, at long last I got it right, thank you so much @livinguktaiwan for the monthly PUD guessing contest, I always wonder what you're going to come up with!
Congrats to all the other winners, and those who came close.
The health benefits of walking are amazing, and you get to see your beautiful neighbourhood.
I am determined to start walking again now that I'm 99,9% recovered.
Congrats on winning @lizelle and powering up as well. I just powered up your prize, apologies for the delay as I've been away.
As to regaining your health, that's great news. Walking is great as you can do as much or as little as you want, and I'm sure a bit more walking will help to gain that 0.1% even quicker! Take care!
I've never read so much about the health benefits of walking as lately, so I think the webiverse is trying to tell me something! Or we are all slowly realizing that walking is one of the best gifts we can give ourselves!
Thank you for the prize, and for the good wishes @livinguktaiwan <3
Hahahaha.. I never thought about these things, but probably as I do my shopping mostly going by foot... But you are on the spot with that! I bet many people are doing the same when they go by car, buy more stuff than they need!
And regarding the surroundings, it looks beautiful! I like water, canals, rivers, and that road looks super calm, without the traffic... Perfect for a walk!
Gotta keep an eye on the next guessing game as it looks like I have a lucky streak! 😃
Thanks and congratulations to the winners!!
Today I had to drive somewhere and dropped by the supermarket on the way back. I bought some things that I don't really need 😟
Let's see how you do in next month's HPUD Guessing Contest, good luck in advance!
Well, nice tactic saving your money through walking. Haha
Yayyy, I won. Congratulations to everyone. Cheers 🥂
Congrats, I just powered up your prize
Triple win situation! Walking is so underrated as a mean to keep healthy, glad you're doing more of it! !LUV
Now with summer coming, I'm hoping to get out more. Walking is much easier than squats!! 😆
And more enjoyable too! 😁
Great benefits of walking you mention. I can really see how it would save at the grocery store. Do you wear a back pack to hold the groceries? I feel I would have to make at least two trips and that is because I have a hungry hippo (17 y/o boy) who doesn't stop eating, haha. I'm with you on walking and seeing landscape. We tend to pay attention to the road while driving but with walking we see so much more because we can give ourselves time to really look at it things.
Oh well I was off a few on the flowers at least I got to it this month. Take care across the pond 😊
Luckily my husband carries most of the shopping, but for some silly reason he prefers to use a carrying bag. I'm 'forcing' him to use a backpack now as it's much healthier.
I can imagine a 17 year will need lots of energy at his age and with all the sports he plays. That's a lot of cooking as well!!!
Oh, I miss your guessing game, I also did my part on the HPUD and HPUM this march. I'll look forward to your guessing game this April.
Walking truly is the best exercise no need to pay monthly gym fees. Plus you get to enjoy your surroundings more.
My husband and I also do our evening walks just around our neighborhood. Going to the cemetery which is just around 25 minutes walk from our house. We often go there to visit my mother-in-law who just passed last month, February 9th.
Bonus aside from making your part pumping it will make you trim and sexy in a few months of walking. Have a great day!
I always host my HPUD Guessing Contest on HPUD day, hopefully you will drop by for the next one.
It must be very comforting for you and your husband to visit your mother-in-law's grave so frequently to make sure she is not alone and forgotten. I'm sure she is watching over and protecting you.
Take care
The scenery is beautiful and walking is enjoyable. Of course, I will warn you: as you walk more and more you will gain strength and will want to buy everything to carry yourself, you will think it is the strength exercise that will tone your muscles even more.
I advise you to only carry cash and only a little bit of it.
Hahahaha... 😉
Oh dear! I hadn't thought of that! The problem is that we hardly use cash nowadays, everything is cashless and on the mobile phone, and I always go out with my mobile phone. Need to think about that now.... 🤔
😂
