It's cold here, too. Okay, I logged all my food for today...not very much cuz I feel like dukey!!! Maybe tomorrow will be better. Doesn't look like I'll be walking tomorrow if I still feel like this. I do get to sleep in, tho!!!
Night, my friends,
Chris1 -
Chris same here. Feel like crap. Ugh!
Shell0 -
And Chris I like that they don't have music. I can put on my own.
Shell0 -
Oh no ladies....sounds like we need some rest! There is soich going around.
No excuses for me today (I've been making too many)
...it's 45 degrees...juat walked 3 miles...now need some ointment for my sore knee 😂1 -
Good job Karen! And great picture!
Shelley, I hope you are feeling better soon. This cold sucks!!
Yeah, my stomach did not like my pills this morning...made it to the sink on time, tho!! That was very strange because I always take my medicine first thing when I get out of bed. I do not know what is going on. Everyone else is almost done with this cold and I'm still coughing and snotty like crazy!! UGH!!!
Chris0 -
Chris if you don’t start feeling better soon go to the doctor.
It is my throat and the small elephant sitting on my chest that hurts.
Karen love the no more excuses attitude. And I don’t mind 45 degrees as long as the wind is not too bad. As always. Lovely smile.
I was telling Kathy we should all start telling what we are doing to make our goals. No matter how small. I removed the fudge and put it into the fridge so I wouldn’t keep eating more.
Also taking laps around my yard each night. Not much. But something
Luv ya all
Shelley0 -
Happy Sunday. Still sick. But did walk around the yard a few times. We do a minimum of 3 laps each time. Balanced the books and made payments. My brother is getting married in Vegas in May. Never been but going to see him tie the knot.
Shelley
PS, weight at 147 this morning0 -
I'm still sick too. My nose is so sore, my head hurts and my cough is still nasty...
We didn't get Collin this morning. Pete actually kept him home. I don't know if his one client today cancelled or he cancelled the one client he had today...which brings up another rant of mine!!! ugh!
Chris1 -
Add me to the sick list. Sore throat, cough, upset stomach. Let’s get over this before we get closer to Christmas.
Feel better,
Kathy1 -
So sorry you caught it, Kathy. I tried to keep it here in California!
I still feel awful. Coughed all night!! I did keep all my meds down this morning and was able to eat more. That's a huge plus!! Pat's doing better, too. The kids are recovering faster than we are. I think we were the last to get it. Haven't seen my trainer in a week. Don't know about tomorrow, yet.
Feel better, my friends.
Chris1 -
Still down for the count! We didn't have Collin today. I have a video appt w/my doc in the morning. This is the most UN-fun thing in a long while!
Chris0 -
I am still down also. Chest is sore from all the coughing.
Chris and Kathy get well soon. I hope yours doesn’t last very long Kathy
Hack hack sneeze
Shelley0 -
Ladies I feel pretty lucky as I seem to be much better. Going to get in a workout today. Maybe my recumbent and a YouTube video.
Pray everyone gets to feeling better. Here’s a couple of photos of our scaled down decorations.

Weight loss probably from illness. But I’ll take it. 😉

Pretty decorations, Kathy. Our decoration is the Charlie Brown Christmas tree and...that's it!!
Had video appt w/my Doctor this morning. He ordered me an inhaler. I hope it works.
No Collin today. We had Ronan this afternoon. The kids are going to Disneyland this weekend. Hope they have fun.

Kathy - Love your decorations!! Beautiful 😍
Sorry you gals aren't feeling well...try to get some rest which is easier said than done this time of year. Feels like there's so much to do in such a short period of time.
I had a very busy week. Really glad it's friday. Working from home today which is always a blessing. Will roll the Cookie Balls for our cookie bake on sunday. Jim hurt his elbow somehow and has been out of commission with his arm. It's the same arm he had surgery on a few years ago so we are hoping it is not in need of another surgery. He did get some anti-inflammatories from the doctor and we'll go back in a week. But he can do no lifting which of course makes my life a little more challenging. I'm going to count all of that as a workout :-)
HAPPY Friday!
Karen1 -
We had Collin for a couple hours this morning. Pat took Ronan home after school and picked up Bean. We'll take care of Bean over the weekend. The kids left for Disneyland a little bit ago.
Using the inhaler and taking a "cough" pill the Doc prescribed. I feel a little better today. Going to do nothing the rest of the evening and probable tomorrow!
Chris2 -
Kathy I would have swore those were Karen's decorations if I had not seen the photos. You two have such wonderful taste. Just beautiful.
Chris I hope you are feeling better. I am coughing all the time.
Karen I hope your Jim does not need surgery again. That would be awful.
Rocky has his other knee replaced on Thursday. I am taking Wednesday off to do some preparation around the house. Also have a fish being delivered. The Copperband is doing well in his tank. Fingers crossed. Sadly the Mandarin arrived in really poor condition. Didn't survive. Checking into a different supplier.
Night all
Shelley1 -
Cough is better. I'm just doing nothing today. It's me and my books!!
Shelley, I hope Rocky's surgery goes well and he recovers quickly.
Karen, I hope Jim is okay and doesn't need surgery.
Kathy, my weight is down, too. I didn't have an appetite for a number of days, but it's BACK!!!
Later, my friends.
Chris1 -
Chris thanks
I hope tomorrow is even better for you. I am feeling about like you
Our work had a Christmas dinner tonight. Our Sgt. paid for everything. Plus handed out gifts. I got some chocolate wine drink and a $100 bill. But the biggest surprise was our friend from out of state was here. So much fun. And an adorable little girl Melanie thought I was the best ever. Her parents are from Cuba. So have no family here. I am her stand in grandma. Love it
I think tomorrow I will try to work out some
Shelley1 -
A little better today. I will be doing the same thing I did yesterday...nothing!! I'll be seeing my trainer tomorrow if she lets me into her workout area...
Shelley, that sounds like so much fun! Melanie sounds so sweet!! Does the family live near you? How many were at the dinner?
Well, have a great Sunday, my friends.

Chris they live about 15 minutes away. I work with him. I think there were around 25 there last night. I was busy playing grandma. I am still very slowly recovering. Yuch.
I was wore out doing aquarium cleaning today. So only walked a little. Then I ruined any chance of dropping weight by eating chocolate. Stupid!
Shelley

Shelley, I'm not a fan of chocolate, but I did order lemon, blueberry loaf yesterday and had a delightful time with it!!! yumm!
My cold is still here...cough and runny nose which hurts like the dickens!!! I am going to my trainer today. We'll see how that goes. The stuff the doc gave me is helping a bit. Hope this ends soon. Pat still has it, too.
Chris0 -
I’m feeling better but mom is now sneezing and coughing. She had her MRI today and I’m hoping she gets the same great news she got with the last CT.
Glad you’re both feeling better. Shelley the dinner sounds like it was fun. I believe you love being everybody’s grandma while I’m everyone’s Auntie. 😄
I really need to start working out. Take care ladies.
Kathy1 -
Kathy, sending your mom and you good thoughts and lots of love.
Feeling better but still got it. ugh!
The kids should be coming home from Disneyland today. Bean will be very happy!!
I saw my trainer for a half hour yesterday. She didn't want me to over do it. Tomorrow's workout should be and hour.
Our housekeeper is coming today. I cleaned up around here for her!
Chris1 -
Chris my daughter has something like us. Been hanging on for almost 2 months. So tired of this also.
Kathy you are so right. You are the favorite auntie to my favorite grandma.
Wishing us all good health.
And let's lift some weights ladies.
Planks are important as we age. Do at least 30 seconds in the morning and evening and then 10 pushups any way you can do them. We can do this my friends.
Fish coming tomorrow. Rockys surgery is Thursday. I will do the above mini workout. Without complaint or fail.

I will join you and do the mini workout today…without complaint or fail. Sending prayers to Rocky and you for the surgery on Thursday. 🙏🏾.

Shelley, I do planks w/my trainer three times a week...one minute each...and standing pushups using the TRX...3X10.
We are getting Collin this morning. Should be interesting after a week and a half not seeing him. We'll get Ronan this afternoon. I plan to go with Pat when he takes him home so I can see Sara and give her some stuff for the baby.
Chris0 -
Kathy we can complain a little.
we have to be there a little before 0800 tomorrow. Not bad at all. Hope your planks went well. My push ups were good.
Chris you can add some extra planking with us. How did it go with the boys? Did Ronan tell you all about his trip?
Fish arrived alive.. Couple did not look great though. Will see how they are in the morning. These fish are a bit sensitive to shipping. Wish I lived closer to a fish store. At least I could let them settle before moving them again.
