SAHM--8/10--8/16

I went out this evening to run/walk for the first time since getting tendonitis in my knee. I have been doing the elliptical some and no swelling so thought I would try. Well, I got about 10 minutes in and the skies opened up and I got drenched. :grumble: At first I tried to wait it out under a tree but it just got worse :noway: I was using my husband's Bose headphones for the first time so I took them off and shoved them under my shirt to protect them and tried my best to get home...I was soaked, couldn't even see when I was running :sad: (was funny though! :laugh: ) Anyway, the good thing was even after stretching there was no swelling in my knee and it feels ok.....:bigsmile: so hopefully the new shoes and custom orthotic inserts have made a difference and I can get back to the C25K!!!

Good job on the running! :flowerforyou: Ouch! I've had tendonitis in my wrist before, so I know how painful that can be. I'm glad to hear that's healing well. I'm also glad to hear that custom orthotic inserts do make a difference, since I have a pair that should be coming in 2 weeks from now. I have a bone spur on my big toe which has caused me to change my original walking routine.

Stacey---believe me, I understand about the dog. They can be soooo much work and when you have kids to take care of it can just be too much. I luckily have older kids that I make take care of the dog (they wanted one) so it is easier on me. Hang in there and I hope you find her a good home so that some of your stress is lifted

Good Morning--well, I went out last night and I must say I didn't drink that much so I am very happy about that :happy:
Having friends over for dinner tonight who are in from Ohio so I am going to try and watch my calories all day so I can eat well tonight!

Stacey--Hubby loves to cook! He is getting some Ribeyes cut and he makes homemade Ceasar dressing so we actually dip romaine hearts in it and grill it. Lots of fresh grilled veggies, zucchini, squash eggplant. Some kind of potato (but I don't eat much of those). For desert we bake a puff pastry and layer it with fresh raspberries, strawberries and blackberries. Hubby makes fresh whip cream and then drizzles is with dark chocolate (I eat a bite). So very yummy.

I was able to do 2 miles light running/ walking and HRM says I burned 269 cal! Yeah :happy:

I love challah!!! Send me some!!!!!

i'll be away---

ladies, i'm leaving for ut tomorrow am and won't have computer access for the week. so if you'd like to have this thread--one of you will need to start it up. (that sounds obnoxious, the tone of my voice is actually calm and just "heads up-y".

so here's how to do it
--go to motiv and support and choose new topic (on Monday AM)
--write in the title of the thread SAHM --dates for the week
--mention in the body of the post that this is the week's thread and add a friendly hello so newcomers can get a good feeling for the thread. :happy:
--post it
--then copy the link from your web browser bar
--go to the thread from this week
--click reply and in the body of that post paste in the link that you just copied
--write that this is where to find the thread for this week and signal people to go there
--click post reply and you're done

sounds complicated cuz i wrote every bitty step. but really takes just a minute. so if one of you can take charge, that would be super!
i'll check back on saturday. and here's to a successful, staying on target week for us all! :drinker:

Stacey---np I will do it on Monday

Stacey - I'm glad to hear you found your ring!! :happy: And have a great trip! It sounds like fun!

Lettuce - Thank you for agreeing to start next week's thread. :flowerforyou: I'm not sure if I'd be able to have time Monday morning to do it.

We finally had the yard sale this morning that we were going to have last month. My eating today hasn't been good, but I've gotten in some good activity moving boxes from the garage to the front porch and then back again after the sale. We're going to go enjoy the beautiful (but HOT) day. I'll check back in later!

hi Guys you have all been busy I have had no time to post last week and no time to exercise it was my little ones birthday last week and I couldnt get my head into gear to do her cake so it was all last min with me feeling like I need extra hours in a day. On her birthday we took her to the wildlife park she enjoyed it but it was rubbish hardly any animals and you pay to go in very dissappointing next year we will go away to the UK camping as there are 2 flyball tournaments in aug.

Taz got 3rd in the show last week also so I am pleased with him. Puppy is still so well behaved glad to see you are sticking with yours stacey it will be worth it in the end
