    Crazy long day Friday - but did make it to the Doctor. Answer: "You should have been here a month ago." Several medicine additions to kick this nastiness. One week until I am well enough to get next allergy shots. Cleared to Zumba but I need to keep my brain on and not push myself. I will wear my heart rate monitor and have my work-out buddy on alert to keep me honest.

    I exercised every day this week. Woohoo!! I believe I rode the stationary bike one day, did some strength training the next, and completed my first HIIT workout.

    R_Queenie - Take care of you, and I hope tomorrow is more relaxing for you.
    Scherzie - So excited for you. I'm probably looking forward to the 25th more than you are. :D I can't wait to see how well you do.
    Bruce - Keep the "Green" streak alive!!!

    Completed a 10 mile bike ride today. It was fun, but my legs felt like rubber afterwards. Ha, ha, ha, ha.

    Hope everyone is doing well!

    Didn't make it to the gym --got caught at work and then to basketball game. Will be glad to have the season end. (Not that there won't be another sport season sneaking up on me soon.)

    I did a walking/strength training workout today. I definitely got a good burn. :)

    R_Queenie - That was an awesome NSV!!! Way to stick to your workout agenda even without the shoes. Quite impressive.

    Memaw has been moved to a rehab hospital and I have a sinus infection. Now on prednisone so I may not be green every day. Can't be helped, I have to be well when they let her out.

    Was planning on a swim this morning but water was cold and it was windy out so ended up soaking in hot tub for 40 minutes instead :p

    @Scherzie--I should say that you have earned a hot tub soak on a cold day! You work hard!

    @MelissaPhippsFeagins- Hope you feel better soon! And glad Memaw is improving!

    @Laughter_Girl--Rest days are important too!

    I didn't feel so great all day...pre-migraine-ish. Got stuck at work late (which turned out to be a good thing) and just didn't have enough left in me to get to the gym. Then I picked up some food - didn't pre-log, and the rest is history. I didn't pre-log. I didn't listen to myself when I felt satisfied. Some lessons take a while to soak in. Ghesh! :(

    No exercise again today. Lack of time is not a good reason, but it's the truth. If I had one more hour in the day, I probably would have exercised. I surely wanted to. I plan to do it tomorrow though. My goal is to complete at least 45 minutes of strength training.

    R_Queenie - Shake it off! Tomorrow is a new day. Some lessons do take a minute to soak in, but it'll certainly get easier over time. I'm sure you've already started planning those healthy meals and treats for tomorrow. ;)

    I was able to almost complete a nice kickboxing workout. Unfortunately, my stomach was terribly upset today so I barely ate anything, but it was a good day despite that.
