@missippibelle I workout 4-5 days a week. I try weather permitting to have one trail run a week. The other days I either do a kettlebell workout or a beachbody on demand video. Right now I'm really into T25 and Hammer and Chisel. (Not a coach btw lol)

Beachbody on demand?? That sounds interesting! I have several Beachbody programs. Back when I lost 40 pounds I did the Turbo Jam program full force. I also have Chalene Extreme. I have Insanity, but my feet won't allow it.

Day 2. Today is not a good day but I know I'll get through this. Just ate a bunch of pickles in hopes that it'll make me feel better but so far not even a little. I'm just trying to make it through work

I'm one of those that doesn't get time to do anything for myself, much less exercise. My laundry only gets done because I have an awesome husband & we make our two boys do their own. ;-)

I'm up at 6, rushing out the door by 645-650. We don't get home til 8-ish.
Kid #1-soccer 4-6pm M-F, unless a game night
Kid #2-taekwondo M-Thur 6-730, 6-8, 430-615, & 6-730.
Kid #3-cheer practice 6-8 Tu & Th, with games every Saturday
I take my turn in church nursery, children's church, & sing in choir. If the doors are open, my family is probably there! LOL!
And of course, I can't forget the Avon & full time job too!

So if I could burn calories driving, I'd be GREAT!

@anglyn1: I'm with you, I love Seinfeld. Have stopped watching the re-runs as I have probably seen each episode 3x. Love Elaine and her various boyfriends. Also have the "voice" problem, born in NY and am now living in SC, don't really have a regional accent after so many moves, but definitely sound funny to the locals.

@genmon00 I really like your new pic. Cute!!

Today is day 3 for me. Woke up with another migraine but the shaky/dizzy feeling from yesterday is a little bit less... So that's a plus. Going to stuff myself with some pickles in hopes that the sodium pushes this headache away. I actually ended up leaving work early yesterday cause I felt so terrible. Well... Here it goes!

@procolorer - hang in there. It won't last forever and as others will tell you, there are ways to combat it on the Launchpad. You've got this!!!

My day was one where I just didn't want to work. When summer hits full swing like this we see fewer admissions so I'm doing a lot of redundant work....Reviewing the same records every single day for the slightest change because there are not enough new ones to fill 8 hours. I was miserable/bored until work ended but I did start looking into a few things after work.

First - I'm trying to find a great way to make this land we have work for us so Rowdy can retire. His job bites and he goes back and forth every day with nary a complaint about it - he just does what he needs to do to keep his family secure. Long story as to why he "just doesn't find something new" being 45 in the welding world only starts that story and it ends an hour later with "we live in the middle of nowhere". Anywho....we think we want to raise meat goats. It would be a moderate investment and in Texas there are plenty of people who like goat meat. I for one wouldn't eat it unless Armageddon hit and it was my only choice. But we could make a go of it, or dairy goats for that matter. I'd love to see him officially retired this time next year.

The other things I researched today is well...I have a not so dirty, dirty little secret that no one EVER believes about me. Well here goes... in my early 20's I learned to square dance and I became really really good at it. I danced at least once a week if not more. I moved to Illinois from Alabama about 3 years later and there was no place to dance any longer. Well I've been in East Texas for several years now and there's a place pretty close by. I'm going to get back to it...I wear the cute little frilly dresses and everything! So, yeah...Tuesday I start going back! Exercise and getting away from the house one day a week for ME...not for the kids but for me.

The last thing I did today was take my almost 12 year old to buy "make up". She's at that age and her friends are all wearing it as they move into Junior High. I'm kinda funny about that - especially since she's already drop dead gorgeous and she does NOT need to look one day older than she does... so we had a live lesson about moderation, and make up to enhance not cover and how to "play up" one thing (her eyelashes we decided) and I got to control exactly what was purchased...no heavy bases, "blush" the same color as her natural tone, no powders, sheer lip moisturizer with SPF vs lipstick etc. So she feels like she has make up and got to buy it herself but it's 12 year old appropriate. Sigh...
