    *Peeks head into room and waves to everyone*

    Monday Check-In:

    Wow. It feels really strange realizing that I have been gone for so long. I literally had to go through 2 missed threads to get here. The thought that I've been MIA so long makes me a little sad, but I'm back and I'm going to try to be better about posting. :)

    For those of you who didn't know, I was having some life issues going on. There was trouble with the BF and his job, some family stuff, and just basically falling off the wagon. I had a severe bout with depression for reasons unknown to me or the MD, but things are finally calm and I am able to return with a clear head. Today is Day 1 of my return and I will be making an HUGE effort to post daily. Anybody willing to keep me accountable would be great.

    While on my hiatus, I managed to gain back a few pounds. Not much, but enough to make me feel bad. However, my disappearance wasn't all bad. I did run my very first 10K and am now signed up for 2 more 5k's that are coming up in December and March. One of them is a Color Run and I am super stoked about getting color bombed! :) My mom, sister, and aunt are all going to do it with me. Can't wait! :)

    I'm still behind on the threads and am trying to catch up, so there won't be any personals tonight. I did see that Aug was back and wanted to say a quick HELLO!

    I hope everyone had a fabulous day! I will (hopefully) see you all tomorrow!

    ~ Jana

    Jana - welcome back! Your upcoming Color Run sounds so exciting! I just read a quote that said that "Happiness is plans for your future." So I'm glad to hear your working on your depression with plans for races and getting back on track with modifying your eating habits.
    As I just mentioned in the post above, please return and talk about your day and don't worry about doing personals if you don't have the time if your schedule is hectic.:flowerforyou:

    @aug -- welcome back! i know it must feel crappy to be back where you started... but if you can get going now, at least you can say you maintained for 2 years? as someone who has averaged a 20 pound gain per year for the last five, that's something. and i agree with everyone else who says you don't have to be the entertainer here. i play that role a lot in life. it's good to have a space where i can be honest about the journey. i hope you can too. how's your new(ish) truck treating you?
    @jana -- also, welcome back! glad to hear you are emerging from the darkness... such a frustrating place to be. i hope your BF is well?
    @kris - i'm sure you will be back on track in no time! you are amazing!!!
    @christine - you will hit the halfway point in no time!!!!!

    well, i missed monday check-in -- it would have been that i managed to lose the two pounds i gained te week before thanksgiving, and am feeling pretty fantastic about that. also that i have three job interviews this week. my tuesday goal is to land a job... but not just any job... it has to feel right and fit my life (left the last one because it didn't meet either requirement).. i still have per diem work to hold me over while i search for the next step, and don't want to act out of perceived desperation. also, i want to burn at least 400 extra calories each day through some sort of activity (walking, wii, whatever)....

    Tuesday... Well I did it. I got up and did my 10 minute walking video this morning even after sleeping in for half an hour. This is the plan for this afternoon as well - to go home and do the video again tonight so I get 20 minutes of walking in today. Tomorrow is bowling. Rinse and repeat this walk at LEAST three more times this week. :bigsmile:

    Hi everyone. It is good to see you aug and jana. I am doing well. enjoying having my husband home to spoil for a few days before real life calls again, lol. So quick TMI close your ears guys, cramps SUCK, ok all better got that off my chest :laugh: Well I didnt do a tradiional workout yesterday but spent about four hours doing major housecleaning and setting up for christmas so I went ahead and claimed an hour of housekeeping on the execise tab. I never claim it all because it seems ridiculously high to me. I swear I could keep the cleanest house ever if someone would just come in and do the dishes for me. They trip me up all the time. I hate doing them but for some unknown reason when I go to clean I feel I have to start in the kitchen and there are those darn dishes just taunting me. Ok enough of the crazy ladies rambles. Lets see my goal for the week is to do at least 15 min of strength training 3 days this week and my walking workout on the other two days. I did the walking yesterday so today must e strength training. I promise as soon as the ibuprofen kicks the *kitten* of these cramps I will get started. Have a great day everybody and remember you can definitley do this.:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    Still working on the water! I had my last PT appointment today. All is well. I passed the balance test that they give with a perfect score. I'm so glad that I had this done! I'm trying to walk everyday for 30 min. My grandson loves to go with me. He's been begging to go all morning. I'm trying to put him off until it warms up a little.
    Need to vent and this is a safe place: DH did the laundry for a few weeks while I was in rehab and since I got back because there are a couple of stairs into the laundry room. I made him a list of how to do each batch. This morning he was sorting it and it was really bad, not like I showed him at all. When I got home from therapy, I told him that I could take over because I can now practice on stairs. I didn't like what I saw. He wasn't following the routine that I had given him at all. I'm not even sure he knows where the chart is that I gave him! Okay, so now you know that I am OCD about my laundry. I'll get over it, and I'm sure no real harm is done. I feel bad for getting upset with him. My advice to me and all of us it to be kind today. Kaye

    @morgori--hope you survive without the Mrs.! Don't let yourself succumb to the lure of that pub for dinner every night! :wink:

    There is a hockey game Thursday night which will have the Stanley Cup there for photos. I will probably have to go and while I'm right there I will probably have to go to the Pub for dinner. That will be the only night out to eat though as I gained another few pounds this morning.:grumble: :blushing:

    It has been 3 Sundays ago that I had a real smoke. I have been using an electronic cigarette since then.

    Morgori - good for you on the not smoking front. An electric cig is a good aide. Hey seeing that Stanley Cup in person is going to be a blast! I envy you! :love: Wish Ms. Morgori was around, but I'm sure she's doing well. Say "hi" for me. So you're up a pound, hmmmm.......well, make that stop at the Pub a short one, hey, and then get back to business, ya see, cuz Santa's watching ya, to see if you're naughty or nice! :laugh:

    I've had a set back in my polymyalgia rheumatica - the doc cut my prednisone dose in half and all my symptoms have come back twice over and for the past 5 days I've been hurting really bad and unable to move at all. Today he upped the prednisone back to the high dose and I'm to stay there until I see the rheumatologist specialist on Dec. 7th. I hope my symptoms will dissipate in a few days and I will be back to normal and moving again soon. Today my best bud and I went to see "THE LIFE OF PI" and I was so uncomfortable I could hardly concentrate on the movie. I've read the book and was anticipating a great movie - and it was, but sadly I was in such pain I couldn't wait for it to end so I could come home and curl up in bed. I DO recommend the movie, however, its top notch entertainment!

    Tuesday, Tuesday----where did you go? A day that just evaporated............

    Goal update: keep on walking BUT try to boost daily miles up 2 X a week. So the goal is 5 miles a day with a step up to 7 miles a day. I was just looking at the past 7 days is at 43 miles. I have one more mile to add before the evening's over. ANYWAY, I guess that's my continuing boring sameness---WALK!

    Wishing everyone well. I'm sure December may prove to be a tough month to keep all healthy habits on track.

    For those not feeling well, again, wishing you restored health.

    Tuesday Goals:

    Today was a good day. I spent the day teaching adding fractions with unlike denominators to my kiddos and they seemed to catch on, so I'm hoping tomorrow is even better and I can keep going without having to spend too much time reteaching. :)

    I went grocery shopping this afternoon and got some good stuff to eat and lots of frozen items to get by on so that I can just toss them into my lunchbox and go in the mornings. I will typically fix my lunch the night before, but have gotten out of the habit. Maybe I need to get back to that. Might shave a few mins off of my morning routine.

    My goals for this week are pretty simple. 1. Log my food EVERY day. 2. Exercise at least 4 days a week (C25K Training). 3. Get my house picked up and laundry done. 4. Lose 1 pound by the end of the week. I think these are pretty attainable goals. I'm starting small. Each day is a triumph. :)

    I hope everyone has a fabulous day and I look forward to catching up with all of you. Still trying to read the rest of the missed threads I missed. 40 pages is a bit to go through all at once, but I'll get there soon. Have a wonderful night! :)

    Hi everyone!

    @robin--hope you're feeling better soon! :flowerforyou:

    @morgori--I don't think one night at the pub is going overboard. Congrats on your continued success not smoking! :drinker:

    Tuesday Goals:
    My stomach is still acting up a bit, but it's better than previous days. I ended up running outside with gunner rather than going to the gym. I don't know why I'm having such a hard time getting there. :grumble: At least I ran 3 miles--more than I've done since my turkey trot last week.

    Tues--run outside w/ gunner DONE!
    Wed--rest day (have a mtg after work and then dinner plans w/ friends)
    Thurs--walk gunner (giving blood)
    Fri--walk gunner + core work
    Sat--run outside w/ gunner
    Sun--walk gunner + gym (weight machines and bike or stairmaster)

    Grading Goals:
    1. 49/49 AP essays DONE!!!
