Happy Sunday Folks! Got here early, I hope all is well with all of you. Just finished Module 5 of Primal Blueprint Cert. Whew! Awful lot of science behind eat plants and animals. and avoid poisonous stuff.
Happy Birthday Kevin!
Kris - Glad no one was hurt a bummer on your car.
So many Parties and good times Remember balance is the key have fun too!
Well I only got 5K steps in yesterday on the fitbit, but still doing fairly well in the Monthly Fat2Fit challenge there (5th) but right on the tail of a couple of em so we'll see how it rolls out. Definitely needed the rest yesterday.
Keep on jammin Folks! Keep your No guns handy, some extra ammo in your pocket, and consider this your concealed carry permit. Working on my 5X5 program for next month at the gym today. I love the sound of plates on a bar in the morning, it's the sound of Victory...

Happy Sunday. Wow, I was loving last week's thread so much I totally forgot today is a new week. Getting ready to weigh in and do my weekly vlog.0

Happy Sunday everyone. I'm in a much better place now. Had a very stressful week. Wife had a horrible reaction to Sulfa based antibiotic. Basically anaphylaxis plus extra stress on her liver. She was 3 ERs in 2 days, then admitted Friday. She started improving yesterday and just said she is going to ask the doctors about going home today. (Big sigh of relief) Now we just have to wait for them to come around and see the improvement.0

Sunday. Slow slow morning.0

Jen, same here! Chris Tinder and I both checked in today on the old thread. And I am supposed to be opening these threads! LOL, sorry. Thanks for opening the new one Hammer Jammer.
So yesterday I tried something new as I was inspired by the 2D nail challenge to do so. I did the 30min circuit workout at Planet Fitness. Haven't done machines in a while but the way they have it set up, you have to do a rotation of steps between each machine and your heart rate can get up pretty high if you want it to. I loved the red light/green light feature so I didn't have to think about anything. Loved it.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
17 Miles this week Chris... WOW! that's awesome!
Have a great rest of the weekend everyone.0 -

Good to hear that you and your wife are in a better place. Sending good thoughts all the way to Dripping Springs!

Did a lot of sitting yesterday... work, wrapping gifts, watching the Nutcracker... but made up for this morning. 11 mile training run (okay, more walk than run), that definitely put some steps on my fitbit!

WTG Carol that's a Jammin' Good Time. Mine was Turkish Get ups. Not very good form I'm afraid but managed to do 5 per side, The Get downs were pretty easy but I've always been able to fall down well.

Just heard the announcers talking during the Cowboys game say that Demarco Murray drinks 24 bottles of water 24 hours before a game! So much water! Keep chugging away...I'm going to go drink a bottle right now.0

Checking in (again) on the correct thread this time
Yesterday's carb night was OK, had a few nice treats but overall it was a mild carb night which is what it should be. This morning only gained 2 lbs in water weight which is pretty good following a carb night. I have found that on carb night I find savory carbs more satisfying than sweet carbs. Enjoy bread and pasta far more than say pastry or candy. Still enjoy ice cream and sugar can sweetened soda however
We'll see how I do tonight, have another Xmas dinner party to go to. Will try to avoid the carbs. Wish me luck!0 -
Checking in from my phone real quick. Had a great time at the party last night.

We tried to go to the gym yesterday, for the first time in months, but we ended up picking up a dog that was wandering the Burger King parking looking for food. I guess that's a good excuse, lol. We're trying to find a home for home right now.0
-
TJ, did you guys check if the dog is chipped? Your local shelter can check it for it. If you know the breed contact your area's breed specific rescues or other rescues, they have to resources to help place and advertise the dog at various adoption sites. Tell them that you are willing to foster the dog and they might be able to help you with food. Vaccination, and flea preventive.
Good luck and thank you for helping the dog. Arturo and I volunteer for a husky rescue and so we appreciate Good Samaritans like you0 -
Happy Monday Folks! Hope all is well with all of you. Well my plan for yesterday went down the tubes in a hurry. Shortly after my first post encountered some mobility issues in my left shoulder, and since I'll be working Tues - Sat this week Dan and I had breakfast at Perkins instead of going to the Gym. I had a Ham and Cheese omelet with a double side of Bacon, thoroughly enjoyed the pancakes and syrup that were included, my No gun remained holstered. Stopped on the way home did some grocery shopping, and about the time I got home, the carb crash settled in. So instead of going Christmas Shopping, and looking for an RAK to do, took a nap.
-
After the nap got focused on Primal Blueprint Cert and got a bunch of that done, taking about a 5 min break every 20-30 min. Haven't had this much science since High School back in the 60-70's. Thank God for Mr Pittman my HS Biology teacher, and Herr Doktor Ebling my HS Chem Teacher. So far the cert classes are going fairly well, haven't kept track of my grade point average but I would guess its in the high 80's. It is a challenging process. Thanks everbody for all the likes etc as I post the completions,
Anyway during my school time took a break and got registered for Paleo Fx, for Dan and I. So Christmas shopping is done for family, still need to send out my Christmas Cards. Will get that done today.
TJ Bless you for looking out for the pup.
Arturo and Heron Hope the Christmas parties were fun. Jammin'!
Any way, Keep Rockin' and Jammin' Folks 2015 will be packed with opportunities to excel!0 -
Good morning everybody. Good weekend, bad Monday. I'm down for the count today. Won't be eating much today I'm sure, just sleeping.
Hope everybody has a great day.0 -
John, I noticed you were flying through the Primal Blueprint sections yesterday Good job with the focus!
Jennifer, rest up and get well! Sorry to hear you don't feel well.
Dentist appt this morning for the 6 month checkup. A couple of meetings at the offices, then thats it for work for the year. Whoo h0 -

Glad to hear she is okay and coming around. That is terrifying! I have severe allergies to the -cillins, supha drugs, shellfish and a couple of others.
Kevin, HAPPY Belated Birthday!!!
Heron and Arturo, The pizza looks yummy. We made pizza on Saturday. Threw in a pile of stuff and it was delish:) Great to hear you enjoyed your party.
Carol, WTG on the workout. Oh how I love strength training.
Chris, BAM! Very nice mileage and you are not alone on hating the downhill. Me too. My friends and I have a deal on the uphills that we race them. Downhill...not so much:)
TJ, You are sweet for rescuing him. We have a cat that keeps visiting. I am really worried about him with winter settling in. He comes to visit and it is the cutest thing with our cat. They meet at the full-glass, front door and kind of mirror one another. Paws up to each other and they drop and roll. We would totally take him in if our dog, who is usually a pacifist, didn't hate him so much. I think he would tear him apart. Hard to tell with cats if they are strays. He has a full tummy so he might just be an outdoor cat. We'll see. I keep scouring the sites for missing cats.
Stacy, Woot! Woot! Awesome running:)
John, Enjoy reading about your studies. It is very cool.
Confession time. Other than any of John's challenges, I have not worked out in days. Busy and hit burnout. Need to stop with that excuse. Eating pretty clean until last night when I devoured a pile of chocolate. The hives that followed let me know why I can't do that stuff. I am off work for two weeks starting today. My goal is to eat clean during the day (I tend to not eat all day and then feast at night. Not a good thing) and workout. Off to accomplish something. In the mood to purge stuff so I might hit the black hole of a basement. Yuck!
Have a great day and week all!0 -

I'm just like you. For get the candy & pass the bread!! Hope the 2nd Xmas party went ok.
Jen- feel better!!
Hubby stayed in Houston but I'm down on the coast with my babies. Hoping to get out to do some sightseeing / walking with them (if we don't all kill each other first).
Happy Monday!!!!

Thanks guys.
Heron, I forgot about microchips. I'll have to find some time to go get him scanned. I'm sure he's someones pet, since his nails weren't long, and he wasn't super starved. He was a little skinny, though, and being at an intersection of two 4-lane highways, we didn't want him to get hurt. We put up fliers, yesterday. We also posted to a very large Facebook page in our area that helps with lost pets. Hopefully we can find a home for him soon, because our dogs are freaking out knowing he's in the garage.
Kris, we had one cat that was a stray for years and my mom kept feeding him, so he hung around until he eventually let her bring him in. He went from a scruffy, street fighter, to a loveable inside cat. We had another that was just a neighbors cat. He would walk over to our property during the day and hang out with our cats, then at night, he'd go back home. We could see where he lived from our door, and they even had another just like him. I always said that the other one was his wife, and he was telling her he was going to the office, but really just hangin with the guys, instead.0 -
Happy Monday! So excited that I only have to work two days this week.
Hard part will be eating good while home for five days. I have tendency to overeat at home... but luckily Hubby doesn't allow a lot of junk to come into the house. LOL0 -
Hello to everyone. I'm back after a rough two weeks. My diet has been poor but I am down to 200 for the first time in 25? years. I was able to visit with my daughter for the last week while she was visiting from Germany, she brought chocolates. Appears that a lot of you have been very consistent this month.0

It could be a very happy Monday here. My wife's LFT started going toward normal. The real question is do the internal medicine docs want more than one set with a decrease... Still waiting to see them.0
