Tuesday Roll Call

Afternoon, everyone,
Hope you're feeling better, Carol.  I hate sore throats.  Congrats on the 50 lbs Georgie, that is very exciting.

Well, I got home from the gym this morning and had a message to call Dr. Joyce's office.  I have a date, March 22nd.  It is really going to happen!  That sounds like a long ways away but I guess it's really only 7 weeks, hope it gets here fast.  Can't wait to join all you happy "losers"!!!

Hi, everybody...

Well, I made it to Sam's Club... yay!  I needed to get some prescriptions filled, so my hubby had to take me!   I got to ride on the motorized cart, too...

Let's see...  I showered and washed my hair (big deal with the cast on!), did the store, made dh dinner to take to work, did dishes, and will do laundry.  I know, I am supposed to be laying on my back with my foot up...  but, does anyone really follow the rules completely???  Plus, these things need to be done. 

I hope there is something on TV this afternoon and tonight...  some kind of movie would be nice.  I suppose I can put in Lord of the Rings again...  We don't have cable, just the 8 or so basic channels... so, not much to choose from!

Good thing is that I have not had my energy shots since last Wednesday...  so, hopefully I can break that habit now, too.  I hesitate to say that I think I actually lost a pound or two as well.  Hard to tell with the cast and all, but just think if I were sweating it out at the gym!  I feel like I have been grazing, but not much here to get in trouble with.  Also a good thing is that I can't hobble to Walgreen's!!!  (Well, I could if I really wanted to... but, I choose not to... so, yay!)  At one time I would be over there in a heartbeat, no matter how my foot felt...  but, these days I am trying to be reasonable and rational.  The sweets aren't worth the trip...

Wow, that's more than I thought I had...  Anyway, have a blessed day!!! 

Good evening friends,

Well I made a deal with myself that I would start exercising on Feb 1 and I did! Yesterday I walked in place for ten minutes (have to start somewhere--Gail Sansone has a horrible voice but after I get the pattern I can turn down the volume). Today (ta-dah) I went to a gym that a friend owns and walked on the treadmill and did weights for an hour. He was teaching us how to use his machines. Right now I feel good but we shall see what tomorrow brings! LOL  In terms of exercise I have been doing less than nothing and I really hate it but right now I'm focusing on just doing SOMETHING every day.

So I am posting this early on in Feb so you all can keep me honest!

Have a great week!

Connie

LOL I am the same way with Gail's videos, I totally turn the volume down once I figure out the routine. I cannot stand the sound of her voice!

Connie-
Good job for doing something everyday!  I'm VERY proud of you!  You always seem to have the right attitude about everything!  Do you have Comcast?  If you do, you can get some great workouts on the "on-demand".  Go to fitness and they have all types! 
I might suprise you one day and pop into see you and Kay at the knitting shop!  I'm doing doll hats now, and they are all going to my girlfriends garage sale to be sold.  What ever she makes at the sale, is going to her AVON walk for breast cancer. 

Keep up the great work!!!!!  You can do it:)

Yes, we have comcast, but I do better when I have to show up somewhere. We have a treadmill, recumbent bike, free weights, videos, etc. Nothing motivates me to do the stuff at home. I have to tell someone I hardly know that I'll show up. Makes no sense but that's what works for me! Also we'll be traveling soon and I need to be ready to walk. I don't care about bathing suits and beaches, I just want to be able to walk when I want to. Knitting is supposed to burn 500 calories in an afternoon, but that's not cardio by a long shot! Too bad!:(

 Good Evening Everyone

What great posts this evening.  crystal, glad the tire was only $23 and not $123!  I would have had to put a one in front of that 23.  

Omar and Georgie, Wow!  Congrats on the weight loss. 

Lynn,  Whoo, a date!  It will be here before you realize it.  

Connie, good for you for making it to the gym.  

Carol, I hope your class went well.  I am like you, I love to learn and would be a perpetual student if someone would pay for it.  

Davina, It sounds like nothing is keeping you down,  good for you!  

Dawn, I hope they take those shoes back.  You should not be having those problems. 

It has been a long 2 days for me.  We have been incredibly busy.  No time to even get a drink of water between calls.  Today people were nicer than yesterday.  I think winter is making people grouchy.  I have come home drained both days.  

I had physical therapy today and got a good workout!  

Have a great evening!
