Tuesday Roll Call

Happy Tuesday everyone! Off to IPD here for me soon. Not much going on in my world today. Yesterday I ordered my new smart phone. Verizon cannot keep it in the store so it will be shipped to my house at the latest on Thursday.

What is happening in your corner of IL today? 

Later Gators

Good Morning, A quick fly-by for me too. Off to another day for clients to get mad at us for not being able to take them. We are severly limited to how many people we can see in one day, due to new programs that we are using. Next year should be better, I hope. If not, retirement is my next option.

Nothing earth shaking in my world today, just another Tuesday heading toward the weekend.

Have a good, safe day.

Hugs,
LISA

Good Morning Chris, Lisa and IL!

Aren't you loving this weather?  Had a busy weekend cleaning out the garage...GREAT to be done, and it looks so neat now.  Had rec'd a bike tower to store 2 bikes on for my bday in June, so put that together and it really saved a lot of space.  The problem is I have 3 more "older" bikes I really need to get rid of.  Maybe in the spring!

Meeting friends for dinner at a Mexican restaurant tonight and looking forward to that.  We are meeting after work.  Since I get off the earliest, I'll prbly do a little shopping at the Walmart that is next door. 

I finally broke down and joined our local fitness center.  Crystal has impressed me with all of her hard work, and I am starting to see the "weight creep" so figure working out certainly can't hurt.  I'm not a big work out person, but I did buy 4 sessions with a trainer, so that I could get a better idea of what to do.  He is an advocate that just doing one thing, like only walking on a treadmill or doing a bike or elliptical isn't as good for your body as strength, resistance and cardio combined.  So that is what we are working on.  I met with him the second time last night and we did some free weights, using one of the big training balls.  Man, I was tired last night!!  My idea is that if I work with him, I can get a few routines to alternate so I don't get bored.  I also have been taking my little Ipod like device and the music is a good diversion!  Wish me luck.  I signed up for a year, figuring if I was paying the money for that long, hopefully I will keep on track!  I'm shooting for 3 days a week. 

Not much else going on.  Have a super day, and enjoy the weather while we can!!

Georgie...Yeah!!!  I'm happy to see you joined a gym.  It's great.  If you don't get to the gym a good workout DVD is the 30 Day Shread!!!  OMG!!!  I was under the delusion that I was in shape...hahaha.  After this DVD I knew I wasn't.

Crystal, believe me, I was a reluctant joiner...but as I said,  weight creep...so figured it has to help me somewhat.  Part of my workout problem is Range of Motion, due to bad knees.  I have a partial knee replacement on my right knee and my left can really start to hurt and can't take a lot of abuse, but, also, with my wt. loss, it has gotten a  lot better.  There are things I just can't do, like jumping.  Trainer asked me if I could do jumping jacks (which I used to be able to!) and I stood there, thinking abouit it and finally said I knew I couldn't do them.  Good thing about a trainer. he showed me how to do them without jumping, but by doing the overhead movement and kicking each leg out alternating to the side.  Works great!  LOL  I know I'm in horrible shape, but looking forward to getting better!!

Hello everyone

I am loving the weather.  It's so wonderful.  What I love about Urbana is everyone is out on their bikes or walking around.  It's not like other places where it's unusual to see.  Bike riders and walkers are every where.  So I blend right in.

I got my Kindle last night.  I already have a lot of books on it.  I did buy about 5 but the rest were all free.  There are so many classic I have wanted to read like anything from HG Wells or Little Women, Wuthering Heights...so on.  All free, all on my Kindle now!!!  I was tempted to bring it to work but decided that wasn't smart because I wouldn't want to work.  Not that I want to now.

No big plans today.  I want to clean my car really good inside and out.  When it comes to cleaning the inside I do a better job than the car wash guys...they are in a big rush.  Where I will sit and clean it till it looks brand new again.

I wonder if Dawn is back yet???  I know she had a great time.  

Well I better get back to work...no more slacking!!!  Bye

The Droids are very cool.  I know 2 people with the Droid X and they are really nice.  They also have great GPS capabilities. 

I opted for the Droid 3 because it has a slide out keyboard. I fat finger everything even sometimes on computers.

Hello everyone
  At work today, Peds ICU, gotta love it.  Looks like I'm working a double tomorrow, what was I thinking when I volunteered for that one, but then, who would of thought it was going to be almost 80 degrees out.  I so want to be at home tomorrow.  O well, off thurs and friday, supposed to be nice then too.  Got up at 4 am, did my 15 min on elpitical, down about 10lbs total and it won't be 3 weeks till thursday that I've gotten "back on track"  so I think that is pretty good.  I'm loving that I can't eat much, but this feeling funny when I drink my coffee (i drink it with flavored creamer), the too much sugar feeling, is the only part i'm not loving, although i know it is for the best.  But i do miss my coffee. 
  have a good day all
Kristi

 Afternoon Everyone!

I am home after another very busy day at work.  Had a few choice customers but mostly everyone was fine.  

I am a little sore from my workout yesterday.  One hour of exercise is a lot!  But good for me!  I hope to see progress.  

Christine, I am sure you are looking forward to your new phone!  How exciting.  

Lisa, I feel bad for you.  I understand what it is like for clients to get mad at you.  Not fun at all.  And of course it is NEVER THEIR fault.  

Georgie,  Good for you to get that garage cleaned out!  Congrats on joining a gym.  With the program I am in, I have a trainer of sorts.  Now I have someone to nag me!

Crystal, I love my Kindle.  They are so easy to read and so portable!  It is easy to find yourself with a large library befor you know it.  Happy reading!  

Kristi, I hope the day goes fast for you tomorro!  It is supposed to be nice the through the weekend so enjoy!

Have a great evening!
