2012 52 5/7 Challenge

Good for you girls!! I'm taking it easy today. I need a break after my last two days's "exercice" :grumble: :grumble:

Well, life has its challenges and you must face them as best as you can

3/7 with a 5k on treadmill..disappointed that my app didn't work on treadmill, Burr was easy to keep track since I knew plan. Didn't realty get 5k time since Iggy messed up after warm up.. But I have first day for comparison...it's sill good! Total 40 mins covered 3.5 miles including WU&CD

Dominique make sure your Dr says it is ok. Gosh you have been through enough in your life! Remember that you are doing more than you were before!! and Dominique "thanks for the awesome coffee!

My doctor will not be able to help me out so much because there are no clinical signs that anything is wrong with my heart. The only sign I have is the pain in my chest and the fact that my blood pressure is a little higher than it usually is. Since it usually is around 100 over 60, and it is now only at about 115 over 75 it is considered normal but it is a considerable rise in my opinion especially since there is pain that comes with it.

I should have the results today or tomorrow of the last test I took; can't wait to see them.

In the mean time, this is for all of you

Not your words Dominique but Debra's! She is ALWAYS on the run & does posting from her phone & it will send the wrong words!:laugh: :laugh:
Thanks for breakfast! It was lovely! Have an awesome day!!!

Happy FRIDAY ladies!!!!
It is a rest day for me!!!

ROLLOVER>>>>:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:
Gosh we ROCK!!!!!

Deb, I would be SOOOOOOO proud too! That is awesome!! It takes AWESOME parents to have a child like that you know?
Christmas shopping??? I may get into the holiday season now that we are in a blizzard! I just have not been into much of anything lately!!

Heather, may your conference be a good one and you get your workout done and out of the way!

Hi Ivy and Dominique!!

I ttook the day off from fitness but I have been on my feet most of the day with work and helping my sons family wash walls etc to paint. I also took their stored clothes to the laundy for 3 hrs. I am wiped out but their are still hours left to the day so I better get back to work. I wish they had other recruits but not that I have seen!

Have a great weekend!!

2/7 with 4 miles on the treadmill at 4:45 a.m. and 42 minutes of JMBR this evening!

So sorry friends the week is eating me up! I am stuck at 1/7.. I worked out MOnday and it was a killer calorie burn! Yesterday I had to appear in court with our renter guy... I won... but it took most of the morning, then I stopped at rental and did a few things, visted with my inlaws... came back to town with just eough time to pick up Tanner from basketball.. oday I had good intentions, but hubby decided to take day off... and catch up on some things.. which meant I was running phone calls and helping clean things up.. we have another guy coming with an estimate for house... husband thinks we need three... I don't really disagree... but it is a pain getting them here... keeping house clean and trying to tell them what we want! I also had to stop at bank. We can pretty much do a dream home... but will be paying for 15 more years.... I am not sure what we will end up doing, I am sure my husband would like to retire some day... costruction is expensive, insurance is expensive... I just mailed out a check today for $2000... for insurance.. here and the rental... what a waste... I mean sure, if god forbide we ever had to use it.. it is nice... but we have been paying some type of insurance for over 20 years and never filed 1 claim.... that is a lot of cash....
well...sorry a bit of a frazzeled soapbox there!
I made lasagna and cookies for dinner and am off to pick up my son... doesnt look like I will get a work out in today... but you never know!
Tomorrow a guy is coming to clear that drain once and for all that has been giving us problems.. so if I don't get a workout in tonight.. I will be doing it at the crack of dawn tomorrow!!!
Have a great night friends!!

Have a nice week end!!!

I am back home!!

The cardiologist told me today that the medication I had since August was not suffisent. Nice job docs :grumble: She changed one of them to which I am intolerant, she prescribed another to releive the chest pains and she is sending me to do a test to see in there is anything wrong with my coronary arteries.

I went to see a pharmacist earlier today and she told me that taking one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil every morning when when I am fasten and 20 almonds 2 hours before going to bed is also a great method to reduce the cholesterol level. It is natural and beside the bad taste in the morning, there are no side effects. It is worth a try

I stopped the medicine that was causing me a lot of muscle aches last Wednesday and I feel alot better already. It is now time for me to go back on my treadmill, to continue the yoga until I feel ready to start the Pilates. I will be very carefull but next summer, I will be back on the bay to clean my sailing club's boats and do a lot of sailing :happy:

Verda, my best advice to you is to go see a Rolfer; he or she may be able to help you quite a bit with your wrists.

Heather, I sure hope your foot feels better soon. Keep on icing it for 12 minutes every possible hour.

Debra, nice going, keep up the good work.

Well, I have to take it easy so today, I vacuumed my house and cleaned the floors. I will now do a small yoga routine for my neck and shoulders and just a tiny little bit of abs work. Don't worry about me Verda, I have a lot of cardio rehadaptation to do, but I will not let myself down because I want to walk outside in my new neighbourhood as quickly as possible.
