Welcome to all the new people and welcome back to old friends. Boho- Let your daughter know that some families are rich in love if not money. Her friend may want to experience the family she talks about since her life is different. The idea of DD cleaning house is a good one as well. Had an interesting gym workout tonight.…

Just popping in tonight since I think I will go to bed early in hope of catching up on sleep. Robin-No rest day for me, I went to work this morning. Thankfully, my coworker had the lesson plan all done for the day and it was wonderful. Welcome to all the new people. Wish- That I can catch up on sleep and finish grading a…

We are back- Thanks for the support. Hansea-The description of the after party that Robin gave was very good, what the article did not tell you that it was packed building to building with people. It was very hard to move. We looked around, picked up a doughnut, fruit, chips and a beer then headed off to find the UPS…

I am excited for this trip but today was crazy trying to get sub plans done and out of the building so I could the last minute errands. Of course the traffic going home tonight was dreadful and the other way around was just as bad. Looking forward to tomorrow and meeting up with Karen and Susan. I am just trying to decide…

A busy day down but accomplished quite a bit today. Starting this morning with grading the last class of papers that I wanted to get done before tomorrow. Wrote sub plans for next week, meet a friend for lunch, nails done, trainer workout, mall to return stuff, dinner at home for a change, organized clothes for trip,…

bump Had a great swim tonight since I don't have work to the Jewish holy day. Now, I just need to clean up and hit sack. Tomorrow will be busy preparing for the trip, packing and grading papers. I have about 60 that I want done before Friday. Doable if I make it a priority. It will be a quick grade with only a couple of…

bump papers to grade tonight.

Tanya- Glad you are feeling better. Insurance companies and car repairs are a pain to deal with but hopefully, they will come through for you. Nettie- I am so happy that you will be able to join us in NYC on Sunday. I will send my contact information and we can find a meeting place. Sorry about the RLP. No more chasing…

Hansea Congrats on your half marathon. You had a great time for the run. I bet you will do another one in the near future. Lori- Trainers are awesome and they keep you motivated while mixing up the workouts. It is great that you are already starting to plan for your triathlon. Those distances are longer than a Sprint…

Happy Friday and welcome to the start of the weekend. Karen- you are doing better with the grading than I am. I left all my papers to grade at school today. I did not realize it until it was too late to go back and get them. Oh well, it will be a busy week of grading next week. At least the quiz today is graded and entered…

Tammy- Enjoy your trip to Vegas. If you can meet up with Susan and Tom it will be worth it. They are both great people to hang out with in Vegas. If you can catch a show go for it, there are great discount ticket places in Vegas for shows that night and they are wonderful. The Circque de Sol shows (O, Tah, and a few others…

Just stopping in to say hi. I hope that everyone gets there wish. I did manage to swim today before my meeting so that is good. Not so good, brought some Reese's Peanut Butter cups to take to school tomorrow. I have been wanting chocolate at school so this is the best option. The good thing is I can hide them so I don't…

Welcome to all the new people. Goals- To get back to exercising again. Today became a rest day due to working late, then teaching a class for our PDS interns, went to happy hour but came home and ate a late dinner. Tomorrow will not be much better but I will try to get in some exercise before a meeting. I will also do…

tina- Welcome back. I know you can make the commitment again and you will succeed. Welcome to all the new people. Cblue- enjoy the new bike. What kind did you get? I have a Giant Today was a good day until I headed home from the mall. I was rear ended at a stop light by a young driver with VA tags- meaning out of state. I…

Well, I attempted scuba diving today and it was an interesting experience. I can say it was not my favorite and I am not in love with it right now. Let's just say that I don't like things in my mouth and breathing under water is more challenging than I thought. :explode: Oh the things we do to get the attention of a guy…

Hansea praying for your friend's son, hope he is doing better soon. Susan- I will give them a try in the near future. Great job with boot camp. I also need organized workouts to attend to keep me motivated and accountable. Kah/ Kelley- Great news that everything is good with your trainer, I know he is a great friend for…

Katie- You are keeping me in suspense, so where in Maryland are you moving too? I hope we can meet up. Nettie- I totally understand that you can not join us in NYC. that is a long drive into the city. Hopefully, we will get to meet in the future. Karen- Good luck with the grading. I had a great week and a great cardio…

Thanks Kah- i will check it out. I was thinking about the Samsung phone just for those features but did not jump yet. I like apple but I need to do many upgrades to get the connections. I am wondering about the battery life on the watch and if it will need to be charged every night. I am just popping in tonight since I…

Kah and Tanya- I really want to hear more about the iwatch, it sounds fantastic. However, I will need to get an iphone but that may also work for me since my phone is acting up. Welcome to all the newbie's, hope you will check in often. Wish- that work and after work meetings start to calm down. I am looking forward to a…

I did get some exercise in today by going for a short walk before my meeting tonight so it was a quick mile. Tomorrow, I might do the same thing depending on the weather. My goal is to be active everyday, even if it means going for a short walk after work. It feels good just to be outside instead of stuck in a classroom…

A good day overall and had a good workout tonight. I had the post race workout where we worked on strengthening different areas that were not up to standard for the 5K mostly the abductors and adductors, hamstring and quads plus a lot of core work. After that workout, I did my own with 10 minutes on the row machine, bike,…

I had a good 5K today and completed it in 39:17;7 minutes. The weather was good with 85 degrees, sunny and 55% humidity for 2pm in the afternoon that is great. According to the official results my pace was 12:15 per mile and I will take it, This course was hilly so it was good practice for the New York race. This was…

Dream- Hang in there. God will only give us what we can handle- even through it seems like we are in over our heads. He is with you. Think about the poem "Footprints"- "one set of prints and that is where I carried you." Hope things calm down soon. Robin- Thanks for sending the cool weather our way. We are expecting the…

I am so happy that this week is over and I plan to sleep and rest this weekend. Tomorrow, my body will determine if I go swimming in the morning or hit the gym for a light workout. I am exhausted tonight but i did manage to climb and that felt good. I will call it an early night and go to bed soon. Cblue- Congrats. I will…

Just checking in tonight. This has been a busy week with after work events. Yesterday was awesome but a very late night with friends. I was able to get together with my friends from high school and we had a great evening- laughing, talking, and catching up. Of course, we stayed together way to late and by the time I…

Had a great workout tonight to prep for a 5K on Sunday afternoon, so I should be ready. This week will be crazy but the best part is I get to see a friend from high school who nows lives in Texas. Her mom ended up back in the hospital but she has people looking out for her. The high school friends will be getting together…

Robin- I am so glad you were on-line last night. I did go to bed about 11 EST. Enjoy your trip through the SW. Welcome to all the new people. You will find plenty of support on this thread so actively participate and get to know us. I don't know what a BBM is either- so please explain it. Toots- So happy that you have a…

post #486 Just in case someone else is counting until the roll over. Katie- I am so excited- Where in the Chesapeake Bay Area of Maryland are you moving to? I live in Annapolis Maryland which is on the Chesapeake Bay. There are several counties and towns that line the Chesapeake Bay. The bay is a wonderful place to be and…

The first week back to school is over and I am totally exhausted. I actually left school at a descent hour, came home and took a cat nap before going rock climbing tonight. The climbing was great tonight but I will be ready for bed soon. Karen- I hope you can get some sleep this weekend. Allison/Boho- That is interesting…
