Marla- Yay for good sleep! Hooefully this trend continues!

Sherry - I'm glad I'm only watching him until mid-July. I'm also pretty strict and so he always has to kind of transition every morning from his house to ours. I'm not cut out for daycare apparently. .

Maureen - Once I have a routine set up, things usually go pretty well for me. The struggle is actually setting up that routine...and then getting back into it after things like vacation or illness. Glad you're getting back into the swing of things just fine!

I got yet another migraine yesterday. I think after being sick, my body got crazy hungry with even just the small workouts I've been doing. I get migraines whenever I go from a surplus to a deficit in calories. These have been weird as I've been getting them much more frequently then normal (usually I only have them for a couple of days and then I'm good), and they've been receding towards that evening. Which has never happened to me. Once I get them, they stay until I sleep them off. So not sure what's going on exactly. But I'm going to continue staying consistent with calories, sleep, and taking my thyroid meds and see if that takes care of the problem.

I did get a bike ride in yesterday morning. Was planning a small run this morning, but I turned my alarm off and the next thing know its well over and hour later! Guess I needed the sleep! So I'm going to get in a small swim this morning instead, and do the run tomorrow! I'm also hoping to get to the running store for new shoes. I've put this off for waaaaaay to long, because these have been the best pair of shoes I've had! But there is a hole forming around my pinky toe and the time has come to say goodbye! I also need a new hand held water bottle. My son got ahold of mine and chewed the spout right off.*sigh

Happy hump day everyone!

I see I posted a thread starter on Monday, then never came back.

Maureen!!! So nice to hear from you again.

Val I knew you watched an extra kid during the day but must have missed where he was staying with you while his parents are on a trip. You're a good sport. Sorry to hear you've been feeling cruddy. I don't get migraines from not eating but I will get them when I'm dehydrated. Often when I'm sick I don't drink enough and then the migraine comes.

Marla I hope you were able to sleep again last night. Is Nia something you'd be able to do on your own after you move? (Obviously it wouldn't be the same as a class, but with the thought something is better than nothing.) I looked out of curiosity and the closest class to me is 126 miles away.

Monday night I had my workout with Jason, and that went fine. Only one thing we did bothered my leg (it was an upper body exercise but I had to plant my leg to do it and that irritated it). Yesterday after work I had an MRI on my femur. I see the doctor first thing Monday to discuss results/treatment. We've got an event at the office tonight, then I'll leave a bit early to go see Jason at 7:00. I typically don't see him Wednesdays but someone in the office at the gym booked him over my usual Thursday night slot before he could put my name in, so I'm going in today instead. He is staying later than he usually does on Wednesdays to fit me in, but I don't feel too bad because if he hadn't waited until the last minute to plug me in for Thursday that spot wouldn't have looked open.

Sherry I know that feeling well. Sometimes I feel great and strong and healthy. Some days I catch a reflection of myself in a mirror or window as I'm going past something and I feel like I'm huge. What works for me is to first scold yourself "You just can't think that way," and then start thinking of all the positive. #1 = you are out running, etc.

I've also mixed juice with diet sprite, diet 7-up, that kind of thing. You could also use club soda I would think? That works best with a juice like pom where it's naturally very strong.

Glad you got the DVDs Marla. And 10 hours of sleep?!? Wow.

The event at the office was in full swing when I left. I hated to leave. Good upper body workout with Jason. Lasted fr 2 minutes on the AMT and 6 minutes on the recumbent bike before they bothered my leg. Tomorrow night I'll get on my own bike (on the trainer) and Friday after work I'll swim. I have a massage on Friday & it's at the fitness center where I use the pool so I'm going to be there anyway. I likely won't swim long in any event, but there's a therapy pool, a whirlpool and a sauna there I can also use.
