Good Morning,

  Guess what, its raining out again.  They say rain in the am and dry in the pm.  My youngest son is helping a friend and his family move this week.  They are working around all the rain we are having. 

Trying to get to the gym after work today, but should stop and do some errands before then.  I really need to look for something I can do at home.  Like a treadmill or a bike.  Its so hot in the center I go.  But hey I get to sweet more.

Have a great day,

Good Morning Steven and All,

Today is my Friday, then I will have one more day on Tuesday and will off for the summer.No big plans for the summer except to go to Branson in July. And to spend time with Morgan. We will take all the time we can with her, she is growing up so fast.

Tonight is our first play of the summer. I am looking forward to it. It is called POP. A musical review of the 50s, 60s, and 70s.

Dr visit went well yesterday. They took more Xrays, said that there is still some cartlidge , and as long as the shots are helping, no knee replacement. I also have RA in other joints as well, but, nothing to the point of replacements. That is good.

Have another good rainy morning. Stay safe.

Hugs,
LISA

Hello everyone

Well I guess I over did it in the gym yesterday and I ended up with a migraine.  I took my medicine and it works really well.  But it makes me super drowsy.  I was in bed sleeping at 8pm.  This morning I feel kind of like I'm just dragging myself along and have no energy.  This is better than pain but the sleepiness will be a problem if I have to take this medicine in the middle of the day. 

At least today is Friday Eve!!!  I can't wait to start my weekend.  I will be here late on Friday of course.  My boss is going in to have her gallbladder removed tomorrow.  On the bright side no boss for two weeks!!!  Things are pretty hectic here at work...it's month end.  I was working on this big month end project yesterday and when I go to the end I was out balance by $200!!!  I tried to find where I was out of balance but couldn't find it.  So I am starting over today...aghhh!!!!  Sometimes it's easier to just start over than to find a needle in a haystack.  It's hard to find $200 out of $600,000 worth of entries.  Oh well. 

Lisa-  Spending Summers with my grandparents I have so many great memories.  I had so much fun.  I'm sure when Morgan grows up she will have the same wonderful memories. 

Steven- I hear ya on spending the day in bed.  If it wasn't month end I probably would have taken the day off.  Only one more day to go!!!!

Sherry-  I have a treadmill at home but I mostly use it as a backup for when I can't get to the gym.  The reason why is most days when I get home I won't workout I will just sit on my butt.  That's why I go to the gym. 

Well I hope everyone enjoys their rainy day (yuck)...see ya later.

Discovered that the surgeon never sent in for a nutrient count.I just happened to know that cuz of all the questions the members were asking me. I was pretty upset. Anyhow, I should get the script faxed to me today, if not I am gonna kindly step out the parking lot and do some butt chewing. I am in a lot of pain and the fatiuge is almost prohibiting me from work :(

Today is my 2nd rendezvous with the trainer at Planet Fitness. I am strongly leaning towards taking some vicodin before I go cuz I am still sore all over.  I tried to shake off the soreness last night at the gym. I was only able to burn 350 calories. But at least it was better than nothing.

Sherry I think the gym temperature is probably ok. It just goes up a notch when you walk in ;)

Oh, I learned something rather new to me yesterday. The experts say the best way to burn maximum fat without  wasting your energy is this sequence:

1. 10 mins cardio
2. 30 mins weight training
3. 30 mins cardio

The science behind is that your body will release sugar for burning during the first 10 mins. Doing the 30 min weight training will help burn up the sugar. Now that you have sugar out of the way.. the last 30 mins spent on the cardio machine will burn pure fat !!!

Lisa, I am glad there is no surgery in the lurks for you. Although it is a relatively safe procedure but the recovery sucks. I hope you feel better soon.

I hope all of you enjoy your day... cant wait for the weekend  !!

Hello

I wanted to tell you that the backwards thing on the elliptical worked perfectly.  I kept the speed low enough to cool down. 

I also read that about the cardio-weight lifting sequence.  But I haven't put it into practice.  I should try it out.  The problem is the machines are at such a premium at my gym (it's just a gym for work) and we only have 5 treadmills, 3 ellipticals and two bikes.  So you get in there and grab a machine ASAP.  That is the one thing that annoys me about my gym.

YAY !! I am so glad that the backwards elliptical thing worked for you  !!! 

I know money is tight for everyone nowadays. But you dont live far from Naperville. The gym I go to is Planet Fitness was 39.00 enrollment and then 10/month w NO committment. It is near the Kmart on Ogden road. They are open 24 hrs on  the weekdays and 7a-7p on SAT and SUN. Best of all they have free fitness training. If its reasonable for you...see if u can join. You will need 49.00 to start. No
more waiting for machines the gym at work.  We have an even smaller gym where I work :S

Good morning,

Thank you all for the well wishes for my sister.  Crystal-we are very close and I will miss her like crazy when I move.  We lost my mom to breast cancer 15 years ago so this has been especially hard on us.

For the last part of our team meeting today, we are going to the animal shelter to volunteer.  It is the same shelter that I got Charlie and Jack.  Should be a fun day if my allergies don't kill me!  I have to go to Crystal Lake this morning to buy some paper to wrap all my china in and get a few boxes.  The stager wants me to de-clutter.  I know Nancy has been doing it by her house......you can always come here when you are done with your house Nancy!

Christine-drove past the police dept twice this week and thought of you!

Steven-I'm with you!  Let's all take the day off and stay in bed!

Sherry-I have the treadmill at home and love it.  No excuses for me not to get on it! 

Lisa-enjoy the play tonight.  Have you ever come to Woodstock to see one of the plays in the Opera House?  It's a lovely theater that does a really good job!

Have a great day everyone!!!!

Jules

Jules, I would love to come to Wookstock for a play, but, living in Streator is a bit far. There is a great one in Sandwich and Joliet too.

I am tryin to declutter too.
Steven, A day in bed sounds great, but it will never happen. My brain wouldn't shut down that long.

Sherry, I have a tredmill at home too, but use the Gazelle more. Haven't done anything for the last couple of weeks, because of my knee. Hoping to get back to it next week.

LISA

ok, finally i got my script to get my vitamin levels tested. Not surprisingly I had to call them again. I didnt get angry or anything (it takes a LOT to **** me off) but did tell them how frustrating the lack of communication and attention to detail in my case has been. I will repeat this concern of mines when I see Guske personally.

Once again, I thank my friends on OH for helping me stay on top of things.
