Good morning Wednesday!!!

 Gang Happy Hump Day!!!   After lunch the rest of the week is down hill I'm still feeling a bit 'punky' and haven't made it to the gym.   This is week 3 with no gym and it's making me even crankier!!!   I did breakdown and call the urologist's office on Monday and basically, unless I am having UTI symptoms there's nothing out of the ordinary about how I am feeling.   I probably still have fragments of the stone(s) in my kidney and until they are out of my system I'm not going to feel up to par.   Of course the dang stent is not helping my mood any either.   I think I'll feel MUCH MUCH MUCH better once that comes out.   I go for my 2 week follow up next Tuesday (now I am wishing I had made the appointment for tomorrow .. ) and hopefully I will find out then when they will remove the stent.

Still no takers for the Tim & Faith ticket or tickets for the 7th .   There maybe someone here in my office who will use the one ticket and I can still go.   I've exhausted all my options in finding someone to go, so I may just be stuck with the ticket. Mr Mo has worked out his schedule for July 21st so I've bought tickets (I should KNOW better  ) for the World of Outlaws Late Model show at Hagerstown.   We will FINALLY get out with the new RV that weekend .   And I've made reservations for Labor Day weekend at the campground we usually go to for long weekends but that is 2 months away so I've got a while to wait for that trip. I've seen some downward progress on the scale in the last few weeks.   I'm hoping to keep it up.   Once you get to be as far out as I am it takes a LONG time for the scale to move.   The pounds I put back on are just not going away as fast as I think they should!!!  But each day that another pound stays gone is a good day for me!   There's been a 2 to 3 pound window that has fluctuated on the scale and that 2 to 3 pounds has dropped a couple of pounds .   I've been diligent about my protein drinks/supplements and watching the carbs and fats.   Ok, time for me to scoot.   Y'all have a wonderful Wednesday. Hugs, Mo

Hi Mo.   I am sorry you still aren't feeling well.  I hear that kidney stones are horrible pain.  Some say worse that childbirth!    That has to be terrible.  I sure hope you are feeling better soon and that those things pass.   What about Tim & Faith tickets?  I take it you have tickets you aren't able to use?  What day are they for?  How much?  I don't know if I can help out but I can check on it.  I haven't been to the gym in nearly a week.  I have worked out, just not at the gym.  Although I have missed two days in a row of working out this week so I need to get my butt in gear.    I am going today at 11 so I can get in a really good full hour of cardio.  Don't know if I'll do the abs class or not.  It'll depend on how my legs feel.  I know that sounds strange, tired legs shouldn't affect an abs workout.  But they do a lot of abs with the legs (raising legs in the air, bicycles, planks, etc).  Who knows, maybe after missing for several days I'll have energy to spare!  Work should be pretty good today.  Both of my guys are in the office so I will have stuff to keep me busy.  Next week will be a bear since both of my co-workers are on vacation.  We don't have anyone to cover their desks so I have to support everyone - 10 managers in all - by myself for the week.  Thankfully no one is traveling and there aren't a lot of meetings planned.  Mostly conference calls, morning reports and answering phones and setting up meeting/calls and travel requests that come up.  I don't know if I'll be able to take a lunch at all during the week so I won't be able to go to the gym.  I am already clearing my schedule in the evenings so I can workout at home.  Planning ahead will hopefully help me stay on track even if i can't get to the gym. Have a great "hump" day.  I like Wednesdays because I am that much closer to Friday!!! 

Hugs, Robin

 Robin! Fortunately, I am not in a lot of pain from the kidney stones at the moment.  It's more an achey run-down feeling.  I am easily tired out physically and by the end of the day feel like I've been run over by a truck.   Silly me thought that once they did the lithotripsy everything would be fine and I would have my life back!!!   I think it's the stent that is really causing most of the problem.   Next time I'll have the litho w/o the stent!!!! Good news on the Tim & Faith tickets.  It appears that one of my co-workers is going to be able to use the extra ticket.    I had/have two tickets for the Soul2Soul tour show July 7 at the Verizon Center.   The person  who was to go with me cancelled out last Friday.   I have been trying to find either someone else to go with me or sell both tickets, but it seems that things have worked out in my favor  and I will get to go to the show. Hugs, Mo

I am glad it works out and you get to go to the concert.  I know it'll be a good one.  We are actually going to be spending the day in DC on the 7th.  Art's boss has scheduled a tour of the White House for us and then we are going to have lunch somewhere that looks down on the city.  I don't remember where Art said but it sounds nice.  We will probably do some sight seeing after that.   I wish you could get the stent out sooner.  Hang in there!   Hugs, Robin
