    Good work, Kathy! And nice steps!!
    Snow, Shelley? Snow, really? Wow...cold! We are going to have rain tonight. We had rain two nights ago...rain!!
    We had both boys this morning. Ronan had a No School Day and Collin just had a Grandpa, Grandma Day!! SIL had a class this morning. Sara had to work...Teacher Work Day. :o Collin and I went for a walk around the High School and we took a whole lot longer than usual...I was a few minutes late to my trainers for my workout!! Got home from our walk and had to peel out of my wet-sweaty clothes then try to pull on dry clothes and split!! Crazy! But I did it!!
    Don't know what I'll be doing tomorrow. We'll just have to wait and see.
    Later,

    We were going to have donuts this morning after Ronan had a blood draw but it was cancelled because the Lidocaine was past the use by date and the kids wanted to make sure Ronan's arm was numb for the procedure. So...I am taking a full rest day and reading and eating popcorn! That's all!!

    Worked out Friday night. Mostly upper body. Planned to workout again today. But forgot I had an appointment to get my passport.

    Then received some new coral. Just tiny things. Then over to my daughter's place. They are remodeling their room and bathroom.

    Next checked on the fish I gave away. They died while he was away. So sad.

    I will be working out tomorrow. Even if only a stretch.

    So, sorry!

    Paula thank you!

    I really didn't work out like planned today. Got carried away with my tanks. Did water changes on all. Cleaned gravel, glass, skimmers, pumps and filters. Then did some other maintenance, cleaned lighting and hoods. Decided to treat them all to make the water clearer. So needed it.

    I did get my patches sewn on and then shirt washed.

    Just going to watch my fish tomorrow after the gym.

    Happy Monday to everyone.

    Shelley, sorry about the fish...poor fish. :(
    What patches did you have sewn on to which shirt?
    Watching fish is a lot like reading and eating popcorn...right?
    We have Collin this morning then I have my trainer at noon.
    We got one of Collin's b'day gifts yesterday...and it was damaged. Going to return it...my computer updated and Pat changed some stuff a while back... :# EGADS, MAN! and he had to come figure how to return the toy. Crazy, crazy stuff. BUT, they are sending a new toy even before they receive notice that this one is at UPS! I don't know if it's because it's Disney Store or what. I like it! If they haven't received the damaged toy in 30 days they charge you for the new one.
    Gotta go now. Must go wash the weekend off and get ready to play.

    We have some crazy wind the past few days!!
    Collin and I walked this morning. The wind was cool in the beginning and warmer as we got home.
    Pat had an appt with a Rehab person about his vertigo. No new news on the cause. She gave him some balance exercises. He did really well.
    I cleaned house for our housekeeper.
    Collin's b'day is coming up...oh, man!! Grandma went crazy on Amazon...now I have to wrap it all... :p
    I hope you are all having a good week.

    Chris you and Amazon buying. So adorable! I am surprised that you noticed the wind difference's. Really observant.
    Hope his vertigo improves. Mine is really bad sometimes. I can relate.
    I feel so bad about the fish. I cared so much for them. They didn't deserve that.

    So glad the elections are over. So stressful. I hope the best for us during the next 4 years. And hope for a new great president in 4 years.

    Sorry for the vent.

    Anyway my new coral is doing well. Fish are adjusting to their new home. Worked out last night and now am sore.

    night all

    Shelley, the winds are strong enough to stop your forward motion. Walking to the mailbox was hard!! Tomorrow will be much different...it's going to be only 5 mph instead of 25 mph!! Collin and I did not walk today but will walk tomorrow for sure.
    I had my trainer for a 60 min workout this afternoon. It was a good workout.
    That's my day!! Going to talk to my pillow now.
    Good night, my friends.

    I completed arms & abs workouts and 45 minutes on the recumbent. Now to stop eating junk food. Finally sleeping a little better.

    Chris it was a full day. And that's what counts. It can be really windy here also. I used to consider it extra resistance. Now I wonder why I enjoyed it.

    Long day. Work. Directly to the gym for an hour of leg work. Home for a quick change. Pick up daughter Sanara to head to DND. Home by 1010. Headed to bed.

    I've been fighting to get back into losing mode. Hoping that this is just an adjustment plateau that will resolve itself.

    Best to you all,

    Shelley, I remember that I liked walking in that kind of wind when I was younger. I might have gone out there if it had only been me, but I didn't want to take Collin out in that kind of wind.
    Collin Duty this morning. He and I walked to the Animal Farms and saw the goats and llamas and ducks and ponies. It was a beautiful morning!!
    I'm going to read and drink coffee now.

    Paula it is like riding a bike. Just have to get on and start moving. You got this.

    Chris that really sounds so peaceful. I bet he will remember your walks in years to come.

    So glad tomorrow is Friday. My left cheek is throbbing. I was trying to push the skimmer cup onto its body. Slipped and slammed my face onto the aquarium stand open metal door. Missed my eye by 1/2 an inch. Stupid of me.

    OMG Shelley, scary! So glad you are mostly okay. Hope you feel 100% again soon. :frown:

    SHELLEY!!! The rule is No Slipping or Tripping! I am so, so glad your eye was missed. Sounds like it will be black and blue today, tho. Man!!!
    Collin Duty this morning. We went for a short walk because, some how, the morning got away from us. All of a sudden it was 10:00 and we were still feeding him breakfast. It was another beautiful morning!
    Tomorrow is a journey to the post office and back then Target then UPS and that's all!

    Paula thanks. I will be.

    Chris I forgot about that rule. Sometimes you just need a late morning breakfast. Sounds like fun.

    My crew had a good laugh at my face today. Little swollen. Bit of a color change. Only hurts when I bend down, almost anyway.

    Went to Petco to pick up salt for the tanks. While there I noticed a sign for a Pearly jaw fish. Cute little fish was hiding. It is now by itself in a 20 gallon nursery tank. Fingers crossed it survives. I have to get a lid on my new tank now. They are jumpers. But so fun.

    Shelley, hope Pearly is doing okay. How is your face today?
    I got 5.37 miles done in 110 mins this morning. It was beautiful out there! Lots of folks walking, too.
    Then Pat and I went to the phcy in Target and then to UPS to send a pkg back to Amazon. I was so surprised at all the people out there!! I just don't get out like I use to! :D

    I watched football, started packing for the cruise and ate popcorn.

    Chris do you eat microwave popcorn or pop your own. I’m just curious.

    Shelley how’s your face?

    Paula I think I’ve also plateaued. My bff and I are going to get up every morning (0k most mornings) and walk the track around the ship. Should be fun.

    I’ve got to get back to exercise 4-5 days a week. Healthy snacks instead of the bad stuff. Especially at night.

    Good week ladies.

    Kathy, I eat microwave popcorn. Haven't popped on the stove in forever...since our kids were little. I do Jolly Time Healthy Pop Crispy white popcorn and Pop-Secret 100 calorie Kettle Corn and mix them together...yum! Most of the time I don't finish all of it...most of the time. :#
    Had my trainer for an hour workout this afternoon. It was hard!! But I'm okay.
    I have to stop eating graham crackers.
