    Hello!! Hope you are feeling good this evening. I am feeling a lot better these days. I stopped taking a medecine that was causing me to have a lot of pain and moving had become very difficult. I am now almost pain free and able to start training again. I just completed an 18 minutes walk on my treadmill, a little ab work and some shoulder movement. Feels good.

    The medecine I stopped taking is one for cholesterol control. My level is naturally at about 2 and I must keep it under 2. To do so, I decided to become a semi-vegetarian. The only meat that I will take from now on, is fish and turkey, nothing else. I am seeing my cardiologist on Wednesday and we will talk about it but one thing he will have to understand is that I will definitly not live in pain, no way.

    Take care :smooched: :smooched:

    By the way, happy end of the world and I'll speak to you on the 22 :wink: :tongue:

    Hey ladies!!! I am 1/7 for the week with a 3 mile run on the treadmill at 5:30 this morning. Woo hoo!!! The foot was a little "sore" but not really painful. May try to do another short treadmill run tomorrow depending on how it feels.

    Verda--you are AMAZING--4:30??? I dread getting out of bed to work out at 5:30, I really don't think that I could do 4:30. Sounds like you had a super crazy busy day!

    Debra, I know it is a busy time of year and I'm sure you'll get the workouts in as soon as you have time.

    I don't know about everyone else, but I have kind of mentally checked out of work! I have two more days until 9 days of freedom!!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    Actually Heather, the 4:30 is becoming pretty easy!!! I hope your foot is just getting back to norm with the little pain twinges!!

    Hope the house cleaning went well Debra!!!

    4/7 with 10 miles on bike, JMBR # 9, 20 min's yoga , planks, situps & dips!!!

    I love my new cardiologist!!! He beleives that exercice is far better than some medicine, especially the ones that were causing me so much pain. Sooooo,.. He made me stop those medecine and he wants me to start training as soon as possible. He also increased the dosage of the beta blockers and the medicine to control my blood pressureI in order to eliminate the chest pains.

    I AM BACK!!!!!!! I'll start my daily training today!!!!!!

    Of course, I won't overdo it but I'll soon be back on my IT doing the trail I was doing last year!!!

    It feels so good to be able to plan my training program again!

    Hey girls, let's celebrate, the world has not ended :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Seriously, I do not tolerate one of the meds the cardio gave me. Will I ever find one that is good for me????? Anyway, I am back to the same old routine of not being able to do much because of the chest pains. :grumble: :explode: :angry: :grumble: :explode: :angry:

    I will do something everyday but it won't be nuch. I am so tired of this situation :sad:

    Have a very merry Christmas with your friends and family and a very lovely holiday!! :smooched: :smooched: :smooched: :smooched: :smooched: :smooched: :smooched: :smooched: :smooched:

    Verda, you are the queen of early mornings!! Hope you ladies are all doing well. I ended the week at 2/7 with a 3 mile treadmill run yesterday. I'm 1/7 with a 3.5 mile treadmill run today. Was planning on doing more, but I started getting some pain in the foot so I was smart and cut it short.

    Hope you guys have a great day!!!

    I just wanted to stop in to see how my favorite group of ladies are doing. I so miss everyone and hope this post finds everyone in great health and spirits. While my eating has sucked the last few weeks my exercising is going strong. I will have both on point by the new year. Hopefully my schedule will allow me to be slightly more active on the boards this yr.

    Hey ladies! Hope everyone had a great holiday! We had so much fun--Olivia is at the prefect age for Christmas festivities!

    I'm happy to report that I'm 2/7 with 45 minutes on the elliptical today. Unfortunately after my run the other day I've had some mild discomfort in my foot, so I decided to take it easy on it. Fortunately the elliptical didn't bother it at all. I think I have accepted the fact that I am just not going to be able to do the half marathon in January. But I'm not going t give up and hopefully I'll get to run one this spring!!!

    Better get off the computer and get bag to hanging with the family. Have a great day everyone!! :happy: :flowerforyou:

    Heather, I agree with the little ones at Christmas, they make it soooo fun! Dang it on the foot!!! Just do what you're doing and it is bound to heal!!!! EVENTUALLY!!


    My 4/7 was a great cal burn again. 2 JMBR workouts, 7 miles on the bike, sit-ups and 150 reps BESIDES shampooing the rugs upstairs!!!
    Our Christmas is tomorrow night. That is when our son/SO will arrive from Denver.
    We were hoping our oldest son's SO would have had their 2nd child by now (she is due around the 1st but went early with my grandson) so maybe since we are having a dinner party with gift opening she will go into labor. I was with her in delivery their first time around!!!

    Hey ladies! Hope you guys are doing well. I agree with Verda, Debra--planning is key! I'm going to give running a rest until my foot heals completely so am going to look at other cardio and strength training options. Once I figure out my plan I am going to put each workout on a spreadsheet that I can check off when it is done!

    Verda--any news of the grandbaby yet? I know you were hoping it would be soon! Way to keep up the fabulous workouts!

    I hate to say it but I haven't gotten any workouts in since my last post. My parents were in town until last Thursday, and then a friend came in town Friday, I flew to Louisville Saturday and flew back to NC Sunday after my goddaughters baptism, and back to work today!! Our house guest leaves this weekend, so my plan is to tread water until then, hopefully get a workout in here and there, but then really hit it hard starting next Sunday. Hopefully the spreadsheet and the sheer joy of crossing off a completed workout will help me carry through because I have been less than motivated lately!!

    Hope you guys have a great day, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    Yes Heather another grandson arrived this morning at 4: 40 (something). He weighed 6# 13oz., 21.5 " tall. His name is Liam John. She was in labor for a total of 30 minutes. My son almost missed it by taking their other son to the other grandparents house, heck the dr. almost missed it! He is adorable and I will love him even though grandma wanted a girl!!:wink:

    I am closing out the year with 320 days of moving my butt!!!! I am also not going to post to the group anymore like I have been for the last 2 years. I am calling it quits except to pop in for a hi now and then. My resolution is to spend LESS time on the computer..
    I will miss you ladies and I wish you ALL great health and happiness in 2013...

    Congratulations on the grandson and congratulations on 320 days of working out!!!! I totally understand your decision to spend less time on the computer--that is resolution that I would like to take on in the New Year, but I'm at the computer for work several hours each day so it is easy to jump on this board every now and then.

    Debra, are you planning to stick it out, or are you planning to say goodbye as well? If you want to keep going we can create another thread for 2013 or we can just all pop in on each other's pages every now and then.

    I have not been good with my eating and workouts for the past week or two so I am coming up with my workout and meal plan to get me restarted. We have our friend staying with us currently, and I love him dearly but it is impossible to control at least one meal each day because he insists on cooking, and he is a fabulous cook. He's leaving on Saturday, so my plan is to go grocery shopping Saturday and get good food prepped for the next week and get back to my early morning workouts.

    Hope you guys are having a great start to the New Year!!!! :smile:
