    My son is a manager at a hot wings cafe and has planned to be very, very busy tonight. Just hoping they make a bundle.

    Pip Oh I hope you won't be too stiff and sore tomorrow! Did you just nonchalantly get up and continue on the treadmill like nothing happened?

    Marni Angry Yoga is right up my alley. I am afraid if I develop dementia and become socially disinhibited I will swear like a sailor because even though I am outwardly civilized I have potty mouth in my brain. Must. Keep. Exercising. running-smiley-emoticon.gif

    Carol I bet he will make a bundle! Gotta have wings for Super Bowl!

    That was at the end of the 5 mikes, that was all that I was planning on doing. I I didn't actually fall tho. I won't have any choice as to being sore tomorrow or not, still going to ride and workout like usual

    Did 1 hr of a pilates DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do another segment of Pilates Slim and Lean DVD, hold my plank, then take the extremepump class.

    Went to Bi-Lo this morning because they advertised that their meat was on a weekend special. Well, it turns out that it realy was on sale all week long. I was disappointed. Put ribs in the crockpot for Vince for later in the week, now making a sweet potato for myself

    Welcome everyone new!

    partaz - when I go to a cycling class, I hate when they have just blacklights and loud music. That's one of the reasons why I do the downloadable workouts.

    Marni - I couldn't get the angry yoga to open for me .... boo

    Leigh - glad you are here.

    NancyD - we own a condo in FL. Last year (or maybe it was the year before) the water from the toilet of the people above us came down into our condo, the whole ceiling in our bathroom came down, the vanity was warped. I didn't realize this, and to me it's a stupid rule, according to FL law they are not responsible to replace our vanity -- we are. The condo assoc was responsible to replace the ceiling. This has happened before (the water from the toilet has come down into our bathroom). What is their incentive to solve the problem? We'll be leaving for there in a few weeks -- can't wait to go

    Heather - I hope you have better luck than we did getting insurance to pay for Vince's hospital stay when we were in Switzerland.

    PHXLoser - congrats on the loss. Is there a special reason you can't eat much?

    Lenora - how I wish you were closer to us! Ever since they moved Mexican Train dominoes to the location at the airport, we haven't gone. I know Vince misses it and so do I.

    pip - of course you continued working out after losing your balance -- you're pip and that's what you do. Reminds me of the commercial on the SuperBowl of a hippo falling off a treadmill, only he didn't get back on it.

    lacruiser - I don't have an instant pot either, but I love my pressure cooker. The meat comes out so very tender, and hard boiled eggs are quite good

    Made ribs for later in the week and the weeks afterwards. I had to get 2 packages, I thought I could only get one. I'm not crazy about freezing them so I'll just make them in the crockpot to freeze after they are cooked

    Joyce - congrats to your daughter

    So I went to the concert last night and did my part in infecting the world. Actually I made it through the concert without coughing thanks to taking the meds the Dr. prescribed at just the perfect timing. There were a LOT of people there coughing though so I wasn't the only one in my situation. Yo-Yo Ma was wonderful and after four times returning to the stage for the standing ovation he came out and played a lovely encore. I have to admit that I think Joshua Bell was a better concert (two years ago), but that could be due to the difference in the instruments. The cello is just such a mellow instrument. Mellow Cello. The concert was great but downtown Houston was a nightmare. Oh my gosh. I'm used to the theater and concert crowd but every street was packed. We allowed two hours for parking and finding a place to eat and managed the parking but didn't find a place to eat outside of the concert hall itself with a wait time of less than two hours. We usually allow about 5 minutes travel time and parking and an hour to eat. This time we needed about four hours due to the crowds. But that has been Houston pretty much all week.

    I'm doing better today but have just laid around and slept a lot. Still coughing something terrible and not sleeping well at night. Now we have four more family members with the same crud so it's making the rounds quickly through the family.

    Super bowl: Falcons are doing well, looks like they might just win (3rd quarter as I write this). Natl. anthem was nicely done. Loved seeing the Bush's looking healthy and happy. Houston's first couple is well thought of here. Always gracious people. Liked Lady Gaga's half-time show. She did a good job as a solo performer. She said she was taking her inspiration from Michael Jackson's '93 show and I think it showed. I liked how it was a unity message and not a politically divisive message like we had last year.

    All I know is I'll be happy when the traffic gets back to normal. My daughter's inlaws are here and will be flying out tomorrow... the airport will be impossible.... glad I'm not taking them. :)

    Headed to bed....

    LOL!!! – I ‘used’ to be a ‘door slammer’; in some cases, still am … took after my Daddy, living in an old house, he did not think a door was ‘shut until it was slammed shut’. Front door stuck; so he’d slam it, walk through the foyer, through a set of French Doors, to the hallway, through dining room door, slammed both; and, into kitchen through a swinging door. I guess I got my ‘door slamming’ from him. The guys think I always ‘slam my car door’.

    I think I have what others have been saying they have. Chills, fever, body hurts, headache, non-stop sneezing, and nauseated. Made sleeping with C-pap a bit irritating; but, have to wear it so I won’t stop breathing. Scared my DDnL#2 to death when I stopped breathing for a full minute. Haven’t eaten much today. Just don’t feel like it. At least the new book I started is interesting.

    DOGD called today – Made an 86 on one test; and 96 on another, still waiting for her ‘genetics’ grade. Said that they are teaching Knox, her lab, to have a treat put on her nose; and, working towards her flipping it and catching it in her mouth. She said the second she turned off her cellphone camera, she turned her nose to the side and it slid into her mouth. Well, maybe she has been watching the lab on TV.

    Knox is about a year old, I think; but, like a 2-year-old everything goes into her mouth. All legs and gangly when she runs. Loved the snow and ice they got this year; did not want to come in. Said she’d slide everywhere and acted like she enjoyed it.

    I am way too claustrophobic to live in a ‘tiny house’ but, it is interesting to see how some of the people make the best out of the space they have.

    GO FALCONS!!!!!

    Pip – I did one of those “Taylor Swift” moves on our treadmill, got stuck between it and a dining room chair; and the belt tore up my wrist … burns that wiped off 5 layers of skin. Then I would get ‘looks’ because I had to ‘bandage’ it. You’re lucky you didn’t lose your balance. Figured you would have continued exercising.

    :)Katla, Bernie eats the dogs' food if they don't finish it right away. Sometimes they bark at him, but usually they see that the cat is the boss.

    :)Becky, I always put exercise ahead of housework. Today my only housework was folding laundry and washing the lunch dishes but I walked the dogs for over three hours and rode the exercise bike for 90 minutes.

    :)Keri, welcome...I live on the North Olympic Peninsula. There are lots of women on this site who work full time and have found great strategies for preparing healthy meals and fitting in time for exercise.

    Marni I can't open that link but veggie Boboli pizza sounds yum. I'm doing the keto challenge with Mary so the only pizza I will be eating for the next 3 weeks will have cauliflower crust...

    Well at least the Falcons and Patriots made it a game worth screwing with my traffic for the week. Wow.

    It won't stop snowing!!! Second time it has snowed a lot this winter. We have over 2 feet that fell in 2 days and more in the way. Prior to this, It had not snowed in over 3 years in lower BC
    Manages to avoid the cinnamon Huns in the staff lounge today and to stay on track. Gotta come up with a plan for the next 2 12 hr night shifts i work. People bring in junk food and the doctors often order pizza cause everyone gets the munchies on nights :(

    Oh wow, no such progress here. I'm thinking the flowers here still have a chance of freezing. They're fairly protected by the patio and a big tree. Time will tell.

    The only thing I didn't like about the half-time show was in the beginning that "stuff" around her eyes. When she took it off, she looked so much better.

    canookie - congrats on your win

    Karen in BC - keep that snow. Maybe you could bring something (like baby carrots, tomatoes, grapes) with you on those 12 hour days? Congrats on avoiding that bun

    who needs to take the second set of ribs out of the crockpot right now
