Stronger Better Faster...Oct 14

Howdy!

I can't believe my ride is coming up so quickly - 4 days! - and now the forecast is getting cooler - might have to wear long sleeves or a jacket. After the ride, I can worry about my yoga workshop, then before you know it, it will be Christmas...ok, don't think about that...before you know it, it will be Thanksgiving.

Yesterday I rode for about an hour and went to yoga. Today, more biking. I'm sorta considering going to spin tonight as well. I'll see how I much I get my butt in gear this morning.

BFB - both V and I had a stomach bug earlier this year that lasted a long time. Mine didn't completely go away for almost a month. I was up to walking after the first week though. Take care of yourself.

Happy workouts!

I havent been on a stairmaster in like....FOREVER....
I tried it a long time ago and really hated it.
But Friday and Monday I decided I needed to and did 25 minutes straight.
I really liked it! Its alot more work than the treadmill and I noticed I burned 2x's the calories!!!

Morning!
Play date this morning! Should be here in 15 minutes! Got in an hour of cleaning this morning and I will try to get Shred in this afternoon after everyone leaves and Alex is napping!
I have already been thinking of Thanksgiving...trying to figure out how I am going to feed my son, while everyone else eats normal food. I don't want him to not be able to eat the same things. It's not easy.
I am nervous about this morning. I don't usually have kids over and I will be honest: I don't like a lot of kids. I mean I don't like a lot of people' kids and I don't like a lot of kids together in one place! Too much noise and chaos. These are good kids that are coming but I still get nervous about it and about how Alex is going to react. Last time we had a lot of adults over he shut himself in his room and refused to come out! At least it's just a couple of hours!
Hope you all have a great day! I will be back to post later!

Hi everybody!

So, today is my big specialist's appointment, so my primary goal for that is to not worry too much. To that, I'm going to the gym for an elliptical and weights session in just a little while. Then, I might walk to the Dr. if the rain holds off. I'll report back, but I don't anticipate knowing anything concrete today.

Yeah, BFB. . .take it easy on yourself. Stomach bugs are lingering, I found I didn't feel sick unless I attempted exercise. . .so be careful and let yourself heal.

Take care of yourselves.:flowerforyou:

Hi all, guess i'll have to dig my kitty pics out. All your kitties are cuties. I have four of them two of which are brothers. Today after i finished driving the bus I came home and did an hour of aerobics. I didn't like the way a pair of pants were starting to fit. I'd been slacking on the cardio anyway.

All the kids on the bus today must have been tired, because they were pretty quiet. The afternoon route tends to be louder than the morning. I try to keep it down to a dull roar! LOL

Now I'm busy (can't you tell) canning beets. I have to get some wide mouth canning jar lids to finish the batch though so I won't finish it till tonight. I might go outside and rake the leaves in the back yard and put them in the compost pile. It's all about buttoning up the garden for winter this week.

So you are going to be in a ride Mary, good luck in it. I know I don't get here everyday so I can't keep up with everyone. I'm trying to do much better at it. I'll have to backtrack and see what everyone has been doing. I see we have more people I haven't met. Hi to you all. I used to post here all the time then I hurt my back and stopped. But it has had plenty of time to heal so I am trying to get back into the whole exercising part of this site. It's harder than I thought it would be. So I am just trying to get through one day of exercise at a time. Today is my small victory. Everyone have a great day! Time to take the beets out of the canner.

RRRRRRAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGH!

(that for the record is the noise I made after I hung up with the Dr.. . .who called to reschedule me.)

For the record, bursting into tears on the phone is effective at changing the first opening from December to tomorrow morning. Handy skill, that.

Viv I am sorry the doc called to reschedule but at least you got them to see you tomorrow!
kjllose, good to see you back and posting more. We've missed you!
Mary, I'm excited to hear how your ride goes! I'm not sure how I would do riding a bike. I haven't sat one in YEARS!
Okay the play date went well. Alex did great. The house is still clean and nothing was broken. Ha ha. I wanted to skip out on Shred but I will make myself do it! I am even going to try level 2 as much as I hated it before. Maybe it won't be so bad now. Yeah right. I need to do laundry as well. Okay I'm outta here till later!

OMG Vivia, how horrible! I'm glad they got you in for tomorrow. Good luck and try not to stress too much. Your kitties are very cute, by the way.

I did a walk, aerobics, and pushups yesterday, and worked on my project for 2 hours. Today is another 2 hours project time and some time on the elliptical. I just got back from a walk, too. And it's a Tuesday, so I'm recording my weight. Yay. I'm really sleepy today. I thought I was feeling better so I didn't take the Nyquil last night, but started coughing after I lay down. I finally got up and took the Nyquil at 2:00. :yawn: Oh yeah, and I'm going to go look for Feliway tonight. I'll let you know how it goes!

Okay, I only summed up the courage to do the gazelle an hour ago. I hurt soooooo bad! It's mostly abs and upper shoulders/back, but I'm so sore I am actually swollen! I now know what broken ribs must feel like: I sneezed and thought I was going to explode :sad:

Am I insane to be doing this again in the morning? I might have to double my aleeve! :laugh: (that's sarcastic laughter, one- it hurts to laugh and two- I think I really am crazy).

Hang in there viv & nice to see you again kj! :happy:
