Good morning and happy Friday!!
Tammy-- Im sorry to hear that your husband is still in so much pain. I hope he feels better today:flowerforyou:
Kati-- Sounds like you may have succeeded in getting that bug out of your house! Glad Tenley is better We make our own "healthified" taco salads too. I use ground turkey and loads of fresh veggies and instead of the taco shell bowl, I put Baked Tostitos in the bottom of a bowl and its delicious!! One of my favorite dinners
Shuntae-- Thats fantastic!! I am so proud of you girl!:drinker: I know you will do terrific!:flowerforyou:
Tamara-- Hope you had a good morning at the gym. I still dont get how you can get there and work out so early:noway: I never get there before 8am. That is dedication, I admire that:flowerforyou: Good luck with your son at the Dr next week!
Marla-- Yes, today is a new day. And I wish a beautiful and better day for you my friend:flowerforyou:
I have an appointment this morning with my orthopedic Dr. My wrist has been giving me fits for the past 2 weeks and hasnt let up yet. It flares up on occasion, the last time was over the summer when I was playing so much tennis. But it's never hurt this much for this long:frown: I have my Mom and a few other "non-doctors" telling me its carputunnel (sp) or arthritis. I just want to find out what it is and get it taken care of.
Im pretty sure it was the pushups and pullups that caused the flare up this time. Thats the only thing that I was doing different in my workouts that could have aggravated it. Ive been laying off of those for the past week, but the wrist is still screaming
I guess I will have some answers this morning.:ohwell:
Have a wonderful Friday everyone:flowerforyou:0 -
Morning all. IT's freaking cold in sunny Florida. 36 degrees and pouring rain. Brrr! I went to the gym. Now I'm home and chilled. I am headed for a hot bath. I wanted to go get a pedicure today, but no way in heck am I venturing out there in flip flops. My toes would have ice on them. It was my Valentine present to me. I was thinking about a getting my hair trimmed, a mani and a pedi. Honestly, I'm not leaving the house again til I gotta. I even cleaned yesterday so I wouldn't have to do it today so I could have a me day. So much for me. Me is happy INSIDE.
Instead I think I'll watch all the tax return that was deposited last night disappear from our account as I pay bills. I told hubby to look at the bank account a few times last night, it wouldn't look like that for long. I guess regardless of how fast it goes, it 's nice to have the extra, if only for a short time.
Alright, later peeps, I'm freezing!0 -
Roni, I hope that your appointment went well, and that its not your exercise that have caused the flare up.
Marla, I like house as well, but will sit throught the program analysing everything that is happening...... I am sad :laugh:
Shuntae, go girl. I am amzed at all the wonderful people on here that keep talking baout running. It is not something that I can use in my training (have no space for a running machine and theres no way am I paying a sitter so that I can go for a run :huh: ). A friend of mine ran the NYC marathon last year, and might have a space in the london marathon in april.
Tammy, I hope that your dh is more comfortable today, and that he comes home soon.
Tamara, I would love to do my exercises first thing in the morning, but the bike sometimes makes a real racket and I don't think the neighbours will be impressed as its in the lend to on the back of the house :devil:
Kati - I wish the bug had gone from my home. I had a tummy bug 2 weeks ago and now I have the 2 little ones ill and again I have the lurgy.
Horrid day here, I have only eaten toast all day and can just about stomach water, and constantly feel like I need to go to the bathroom! I have a house full of whiney children that are either ill or sickening for something, and dh can't get home from work urgh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To top it all I feel bad as I haven't exercised - I think I have formed an addiction to exercise :laugh:0 -

Tanya - Get well soon.
Tammy - Hope DH gets to feeling better soon!
Lori & Sam- Are you supposed to get snow today? Can't remember how far North you both are.
We had a dusting of snow this morning early and we're in for some tomorrow evening through Sunday. Yippee Skippee. But I can't complain when our snowfall looks like a dusting compared to D.C. and north of there. Yikes!
Had a potato bar potluck today at work. Did okay for lunch but we had two different kinds of dessert. Should have stuck with the angel food cake and left the brownie alone. Oh well.
Took the stairs today. 96 steps up.0 -

Lori might but I'm to far east to get it. It's just raing like the ****ens out though and cold.0 -
I have started over. Due to the different scales and therefore different weights, I changed my starting weight to what I weighed this morning. Wipes out on my ticker all the weight I have lost since 10-08. It's a fresh start from here on out.
I did that when I came back in January. Kinda felt good. :bigsmile:
Yes..Yes it does !

Hi Everyone - Haven't checked in lately....but don't worry, I've been stalking everyday!:flowerforyou:
Tamara - I hope you son's appt goes well. I had a friend who's daughter had something similiar who wanted to play baseball. She had to sign all kinds of waivers for liability because the league didn't want to be responsible if a ball came and hit her straight on. Good wishes coming your way.
So I tried to figure out how to post a picture...even read Marla's post on technical topics from a few years ago. I'm clueless. don't know what an img is. where it resides on the web...it resides on my server in a jpeg....it was a beautifull picture taken during our snowstorm with dh and me...very picturesque
I have such cabin fever -not being able to get out there and run with my peeps in the AM. I brought my work out clothes to work today. There is a little gym in the basement. Did the trick. Of course coming back to the office with a bright red face (takes awhile for this Irish skin to tone down) Finally able to log some miles and burn some calories so I can stay under goal for a change! Got on the scale in the locker room.....164.5....wow....I would take that! Much more generous than my scale at home. Not going to count it though...but can't wait to see that number for real at home.
taking ds(12) and his peeps to see the opening of Percy Jackson & the Olympian: The lightening Thief. He is so funny. He made me read the book so I can follow along with him. They are so cute! They are all so excited. Of course we are going to the 10:30 pm show!:sad: :sad: I'm usually sleeping by then...don't know how I will stay up!
got my abs done today! did the bicycle ones too!
Happy to all this weekend! Hope your someone specials treat you well........with low calorie treats that is:laugh: 0 -

Evening team...Hubby got to come home this evening and I am pooped. I finally got everything put away, most of the laundry done and the house cleaned up. I have not exercised since Tuesday night except I did take the stairs to the 7th floor of the hospital about 4 times a day. Today is the first day that I didn't log anything in my food diary since I started in November, but tomorrow I will be back on track. It is snowing in SC, already about 4 inches which is very unusual for us. I'm sure I'll have to take the boys sledding tomorrow since DH can't. It is killing him. He just loves playing in the snow Hope everyone is warm and safe this weekend. Thanks for keeping us in your prayers. It looks like DH is on the road to recovery:happy: 0

Hanging Leg Lifts:
There's this one:
and this one:
I have tried them similar to the first pic...but being a petite chick...it just wasn't working...so...the trainer sets up arm straps from a bar...then I step onto a bench to get my arms into them...hang...and do them from there...and so far I'm not advanced enough to take me legs straight out, I bring my knees towards my chest and then lower them about half way...so a shorter range of motion.....
....basically I hang from the ceiling and look like a bada$$....:smokin:0 -
Tammy - Glad to hear that your DH got to come home tonight. Kudos to you for taking the stairs to the 7th floor, 4 times nonetheless! Prayers still heading your way!
Tamara - Oh em Gee! I did that video. Don't mind the screaming you'll hear in the morning. That'll just be me trying to get out of bed. Yowzers! Burn baby burn! That outta help with the treats I indulged in today.
Tomorrow won't be much better as far as treats are concerned. V-Day party for Girl Scouts, 2 B-day parties and one will be with pizza. I better get in those jumping balloons with the kids at the first b-day party to burn some calories!
Abs are double done! And, i left work with my dress shoes on. I had to go all the way back upstairs for my snow boots. Extra, extra, extra stairs today, but not as many as Tammy.
Nite my friends!0 -
Went on a Valentine's date with hubs. Ate what I wanted and didn't stress. Good times.0

Hello all,
I am putting my house into quarenteen!!!! My 10 year decided to start being sick in the night, so I spent alot of it cleaning up and making sure that all the boys had sick bowls to aim at - instead of the carpet :ohwell: . Not alot of sleep been had in the Perryman house hold for about 4 nights now, so when hubs got up at 5 to go to work and woke the 2 little men I was less than impressed - I think sleeps on the sofa may be in order after lunch today
Tammy, glad that hubs is home and on the road to recovery.
Marla, you can be very naughty but your posts always make me smile, thank you.
Lori, hope you enjoyed your dinner. We don't 'do' valentines, but try to celebrate throughout the year especially when Rob is in the country.
Tamara, there was no way I was going to get the abs done yesterday (tummy was far to sore already), but I will give it ago today.
Kati, have fun at all of your parties, and I'm sure jumping in the balloons will burn loads of calories
To everyone else, hope you have a great weekend0 -
Good morning everyone!
Well, turns out I dont have arthritis or carputunnel (sp). I have a Ganglion Cyst. But my Dr says it's to small right now to try and remove so he put me in a wrist brace and on a anti-inflammatory med and ordered physical therapy 2-3 times a week for 4 weeks. The reason for the flare up with it was as I suspected...extra stress being placed on it with my push ups and pull ups:grumble: But I dont have to stop doing them altogether, just modify them. He says that when the cyst gets larger (don't like that thought YIKES!) then he can go in and inject it and blow it up. Not a pleasant thought in my mind:noway: I guess apparently that will dissolve it? Good news is I will live:bigsmile:
Im going to get some breakfast now and head to the gym. Have a great day everyone!:flowerforyou:
Tammy-- So happy to hear that dh is home and doing much better!!:flowerforyou: 0 -
Looking forward to my Valentine's date with the boyfriend. We're staying in, but having a really nice dinner: steak (depending on what I can find that's not outrageous in price) w/crab cakes, roasted red potatoes, sauteed green beans and cheesecake brownies for dessert. Did 7 miles on the treadmill this morning, so I am going to enjoy this dinner. Can't wait.
Roni- Sorry to hear about your wrist, but I'm glad it's easily treatable. Take care of yourself!
Marla and Lori- Glad you enjoyed your dates!
Tanya- Sorry to hear your whole house is sick! Hope everyone is feeling better soon.
Tammy- Glad your hubs got to come home, still keeping him in my thoughts.
Kati- How is Tenley feeling? Much better, I hope. :flowerforyou: Have fun at your party!
Everyone else- Hello and big hugs! Thank you all so much for the support and kind words about my marathon. I knew y'all would "get it." Now that it's sunk in, I'm feeling a little less nervous...but I have 9 whole months to wonder why I did that. :laugh: You know you'll be on the journey with me, between here and my FB postings. Eeeep!0 -
Good morning....
Just a hit and run this morning....need to feed the kidlets and jump in the shower.
I'm eyeing a half marathon in September..... not gonna let hubs talk me out of this one. Not sure if I'm still doing the 8k in March. I've fagged out of winter running this winter, except for maybe once a week....so not sure about that one.
I am doing the Stateliner 5k, for my kids' high school in April....that's the one I did last year, my first one. Very convenient...5 mins away.
I was sitting at Applebee's last night thinking about Shuntae, and so envious that she's doing the marathon....it's so exciting. So, on the way home I told my husband that I would look for a half marathon in the fall when I got home. There's one in Allentown, PA, about 30 mins from me.
Need to scoot....I'm on my kids' computer, without my typing shortcut program....blech.0 -
Marla- hit and run for me this AM too, funny, I just informed DH last night at Outback that I was thinking about a half and that I was seeing the doctor regarding my knees next week, but then I was going to seriously consider it. I mean, really, is a large amount of bone grinding, crackling and popping in the knees really a problem? 0
-
Marla and Lori- You can both SO do it! Just increase your mileage slowly and practice pacing yourselves. I wish there was a half in the fall in a central location that we could all easily get to. How awesome would that be????0
-
Happy Week six people!
I hope we all found a week without the scale refreshing. Good luck with weigh ins. I am going to take Marla's suggestions and go with abs this week. It's funny she suggested it because when I was out on my run today I was thinking about how my stomach was feeling it and I really need more core strength sooooooooo..... Lets do abs. Every other day. It can be the ab workout of your choice but we need to make that a focus. I want to hear about what your doing. lets all share our favorite ab flexing activities. In addition (Since it's and every other day thing) for this week all elevators and escilators in your life are OUT OF ORDER. If there are stairs, you are taking them. If any of you work on the top floor of the sears tower your going to have a tough week and guess what, you'll get no pity from me. Get to work. that weight isnt going to lose itself. lol MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
:devil: :devil: :devil:
Your awesome! ha ha ha
I am flexing my abs throughout the day while I sit at my desk, as much as I can. I've added leg lifts (feet together raising up to get the lower abs) to my daily routine. Starting an ON-Demand abs video tonight. Plus I add parking far away AND taking the stairs! :bigsmile:0 -
Well I have managed to do a 30 minute walk with the 2 youngest boys (1 in the buggy), 20 minutes shred workout (did this after the walk and managed to do all the star jumps and kicked my butt as well), and have done 2 sessions on the exercise bike adding up to 55 minutes. I am so chuffed, that the boys have behaved enough for me to get these workouts done...... and am now waiting for hubs to get home from work so we can have liver and bacon and enough a few drinks together.
I have been doing the ab workout on the shred dvd nearly everyday (wasn't good yesterday), and am feeling good.
Hope everyone has a great saturday, now need to have a quick shower and start to think about bed time for the boys. Happy valentines for tomorrow everyone, xx0
