@Tanya~Happy Birthday! Glad to see you posting again, we have all been where you are at one time or another. What great benefits you have, I would love it if my place paid for my gym membership. People usually think I’m much younger than I am too, they are shocked to find I’m 46 and not in my 30s. We should be happy to…

@Laurie~Happy Birthday! I think the fracture in my foot has always been there (this type of fracture is sometimes hard to see on x-ray), I think I just tweaked it enough on Thursday that it became more prominent. @Karen~Glad they figured out what is wrong with your shoulder, good luck at the ortho and fingers crossed…

Life just has a way of throwing us curve balls, I'm glad its the weekend as I had a trying week. Confronted management about my small raise, but it didn't go anywhere and when my boss explained it to me he made me really angry--he is passive aggressive with a huge napoleon complex so difficult to deal with at times and not…

@GOINSTD12 (Tracy)~I’m so sorry to hear of your husbands prognosis. :heartbreak: I wish there was something the doctors could do to make things easier for him (and for you as well). Sending you virtual hugs. :heart: @Jorinya~Good luck with your medical test today, I hope you get some answers @Annr~Yikes, I’m so sorry you…

@Karen~Welcome back from your mini-vacay, sounds like you had a great time and hooray for getting to the gym one day. I think all of the walking I do on my cruises, keeps me from gaining weight. Wow, I hadn’t heard that about our rain! :astonished: We have been rain-free for 3 days now, but some roadways are still…

@cblue315~Congrats on completing your first tri, way to go! @Laurie~I think kayaking and spending a night out with friends sounds like a great way to spend your birthday! AFM~Not much to report. It was gorgeous yesterday (and should be all week), rode my bike to the park--it was a muddy mess, so not much hope in riding…

Good Morning, sorry I've been MIA--its been kind of a hard, stressful week. Its currently storming (I lost power about 4am, its back now though), the amount of rain and floods we have received in May here has been unreal. Roads are closed, people are stranded, homes have been flooded/lost--there were 3 house fires in my…

@Karen~I over-pack too, a friend of mine always teases me about the amount of shoes I bring—always asks me if I wear them all. Um, yes! :lol: I think it’s always a good idea to have runners along though—how about wearing them on the plane? That’s what I do; there is always a ton of walking at the airport (running sometimes…

@Robin~Glad the cortisone injections help your sciatica, definitely need to keep up on that if your doc will administer them every six months—most docs won’t. There is actually a limit for most joints because continued cortisone injections damage the tissues and ligaments surrounding the joints. Happy belated birthday!…

Not sure if you listen to Pandora or not, but they have stations dedicated to workout music--I listen to the classic rock power workout station a lot.

@ushkii~LOL, it’s the simple things in life. @Laurie~I’m very glad to hear that your dad is doing better and has been released to the rehab facility, I’m glad you are feeling better too. No ride this week, it has been a monsoon around here—this rainy weather is out of the ordinary, we are usually in a drought and a lot of…

@Laurie~I’m sorry that you’re sick and the news on your dad. I’ll continue to keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. @GOINSTD12~Have a fun time in Atlanta and with Susan! @Karen~I’m glad you liked the ortho doc, I hope the cortisone and subsequent PT works so you can avoid surgery. @Lori~You have made great…
-
@Laurie~glad that your dad is doing better, hope he is home soon. @Karen~I'm so jealous of that concert, what a fabulous song set--sounds like a blast! @Robin~Sorry you're sciatica has been acting up, hope you feel better soon. Yes, I think an important mindset is to find "normal," and not think of it as "thin."…

@GOINSTD12 (Tracy)~I commend you for writing out all of your thoughts in a blog, and sharing them here. :heart: That couldn't have been easy. Both you and your husband have endured so much, your dedication to each other is remarkable and rare. I pray that you continue to find the strength to persevere and find easy and…

I don't think you can anymore, you can only delete its contents.

Do you put your Charge HR in workout mode prior to your run? I don't run but I cycle and I put mine in workout mode prior to cycling, it gives me a more accurate caloric burn during my actual workout time.

@Annr and @RobinsEgg~Normally, I would agree with you; however, given the size of this city and the fact that I’m a woman living alone I tend to not get involved. Many years ago, when I lived in an apartment, I called the police on the guy upstairs from me having a bon-fire on his balcony (idiot). I had to live through the…

Good Morning and Happy Mother's Day to mother's of both two-legged and four-legged babies. :heart: Welcome to all of the newlings! You have found a great place for encouragement and support, check back often to get the most out of this thread. @Laurie~I'm sorry your dad is back in the hospital, I hope he makes a speedy…
-
@Tanya~I’m sorry for the struggles you’re currently facing. :frowning: It certainly sounds like your daughter needs to come back home for a while—hope she sees the importance of that and your offer. Oy, car shopping—I actually like car shopping (I love the test-drives :wink:) but I do a TON of research including pricing…

I don’t think the premium package has rolled out to all members yet, its $9.99/mo or $49.99/year—it just started popping up for me this week, when I login. You get a few perks—it’s ad-free and more customizable, like adjusting what you see on your home page (i.e. calories or certain micro-nutrients left depending on how…

Good Morning. Its been a gorgeous weekend here. Parents were here yesterday for a visit and to help me with a couple of things. @Robin~I saw the news of the new little Princess, she is a cutie pie! :smile: I don't really watch the derby, but a close friend of mine has a ranch (ironically she lives next door to famous…

Good Morning. Speaking of losing mojo, I think our thread has a lost it a little a bit. I know several of us have been really busy lately (me included). I feel like we've lost several regulars in recent months, too. It made me think if we are losing some because of the challenges we've been doing for the last several…

I don't know what's happening with this site this morning--my post double-posted. Ugh! :grimace:
-
Good Morning. @Karen~I know you’re overwhelmed with grading, I hope you are able to make a dent this week—so close to the end of the school year. :wink: Your niece was adorable, looks like she had a pretty fab birthday! @GOINSTD12 (Tracy)~Kudos to the exercise, it’s amazing in how short of time we can build our endurance.…
-
Good Morning everyone. Well, the guest bedroom is all painted--its beautiful, I'm really happy with the color. The walls really soaked up the paint so it took two gallons and many hours to complete. Glad its done. I'm exhausted! My only plan for today is to get to the grocery store for a few things, do a load of laundry…
-
@GOINSTD12~I truly believe we are all responsible for our own happiness. Sometimes it’s easier said than done, especially if there are life circumstances creating obstacles to that happiness—life is too short and its debilitating to be negative all of the time. :smile: @ushkii~If your surgeon cleaned out very much…

I ran across this article this morning, while she is significantly younger than me I could identify with her "journey" and the obstacles that she was able to overcome. I thought it might beneficial to some of you as well. https://www.yahoo.com/health/weight-loss-win-andie-lost-135-pounds-and-gained-116654126457.html

@Robin~I am so glad that Lori’s post changed your mind, I literally teared up when I read you thought about leaving a group that you started and put so much into. Know that you are loved and would be missed by all. So, I’m sending you virtual hugs. :heart: I have been through so many ups and downs on this journey, honestly…
-
@karen~I would have been livid too, I would have demanded they see me—it’s their fault you had incorrect information. :rage: I hate that you have to go through hoops to see a specialist for this and wish you could get in sooner. :frowning: @GOINSTD12 (Tracy)~I lucked out in that one of my close friends had a Trek hybrid…

Good Morning. @Tom~I gotta say, I don’t give the lima bean much respect. :wink: If I buy mixed veggies, I purposely look for the variety without them—I think they taste like paste! :lol: @Ellarai~Welcome! AFM~So far I :heart: my new (to me) bike, went for a short 5-mile ride yesterday--just rode my bike to the middle…
