    Laughter Girl: good for you on the five miles and the strength training.
    R_Queenie: the flu this year is terrible and I am sorry that your family has it. I hope you all get well soon. It does stink to miss holidays with family. (Since you sound like you want to go. I am so over my MIL. She blew off my son's birthday today and my daughter's on Sunday. I'm hoping she blows off Christmas, but think my FIL will draw the line at that.)

    @laughter - 5 miles is great, you should really be proud of the accomplishment!

    I did a walk/jog workout video today. Between that and the squats I did yesterday, my legs are feeling the burn.

    R_Queenie - Are you feeling a little bit better?
    Scherzie - Thanks! I want to be like you when I grow up.
    Melissa - Hang in there. Maybe MIL is going through a rough time right now? If not, maybe you and hubby need to have a chat with her and explain why it is important for her to be there for her grandchildren. Some things should be common sense; however, according to my good friend's mother, "Common sense isn't common."

    No family dinner made green a lot easier.

    I'm feeling a bit better today, but I tire so easily...it's ridiculous!
    And I completely agree Laughter_Girl, Common sense is NOT common!

    Green all days.
    24/27
    I have already made it to the gym 4 times this week and still have yoga class tomorrow.

    Laughter Girl, my MIL is like this. She does great at being a family member for a few months and then goes completely off the rails again. I was married before I met her and after 22 years, it shouldn't bother me, but it does.

    Thankfully, I was able to do some (almost 30 minutes) strength training today.

    Melissa - Sometimes, we just need to vent about things or people we have no control of. Sorry about your MIL. I would like to say that she may change, and she just might; however, I wouldn't hold my breath.
    R_Queenie - Hope things are coming along for you and the family.
    Scherzie - How dare you sleep in? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Just teasing. You've certainly earned a rest day.

    I am still not back to "normal" At this point I am beginning to doubt that I will ever feel completely well again. But I was able to hit the low end of my step goal and did a pretty large amount of cleaning / inventory purging today. Hoping I can build up a bit each day.

    Melissa - I love cornbread too. It'll do it to me every time. Hope it was delicious!
    R_Queenie - Keep pressing. You will certainly bounce back fully soon.

    I woke up sneezing and sniffing so I did 30 minutes of bodyweight training instead of a 4th trip to the gym. Didn't want much to eat either so green was easy.

    Laughter Girl, my mom.taught me to make cornbread when I was 9. It was delicious.
    Hope all my sick friends are getting better!

    A bit run down today after yesterday's marathon cleaning. So I took it easy. I've got a pretty easy week ahead - working half days for 3 days of the week and 2 holiday days.

    @Melissa---congrats on hitting the goal!

    Ugh! Monday gets a bad name from days like today. The blower motor went out on my husband's Honda this morning and the battery died on daughter's VW. Oh, and my back up who is supposed to have done most important stuff didn't touch anything while I was on vacation. Sigh...

    No gym today. But tomorrow I am just going to push through...I don't expect to be able to do anything close to my previous stats, I just feel like I need to push through because I am starting to doubt that I will ever feel normal again.

    3 mile run yesterday, but no exercise today.

    Scherzie - Woozer!! Very impressive!
    R_Queenie - Good for you for planning to push it at the gym. You'll only get stronger as the days go by.
    Melissa - May your Tuesday be a lot brighter than today. Also, I can relate to the car troubles. I just got my car out of the shop.
