Your night put sounds fun - enjoy!

Weight 172 Yep, working out will do that

I did indeed pay yesterday for skipping a week of workouts. My muscles were shaking and twitching! I still get really anxious/nervous before I go there. I was sitting in the car waiting for my appt time and my heart rate according to my watch was 105. And when I went inside and she wasn't there yet, but the guys and trainers working out all turned to look at me it went to 130 (I wandered into the bathroom to hide and checked my watch again. I am like a scared mouse in unfamiliar cir****tances!) Sigh. I hope one day I look forward to this and am not anxious anymore.

I noticed that my jeans were really tight in my legs when I started working with the trainer and that they "deflated" when I took a week off. I mentioned it to her and she said weight training and women's jeans don't mix and that she doesn't wear them because your muscles swell when you lift. (She's super slim, but very toned) She said sometimes it evens out with fat loss and muscle gains, but mostly she wears stretchy pants. Bummer.

Today I'm headed to Long Beach to have my global entry interview so I don't have to rot in line at customs on my trips this year. I hear it's a quick appt. Off to shower!

Have a great day all...

Greetings My Fellow Maintainers

154 today. No excuses. Late night peanuts. I wish DH would not bring those home.

Yay Paula for checking in and reporting signs of joy in life. Hope you can work out some sort of accord with Kevin's DD so she is not an obstacle to future plans.

Yeah BB, you need that living room tree. Gotta be a way to secure it. We have our little table top with fiber optic lights. A tiny spot of joy on an overcast day.

Its Tuesday so its scrabble day. This is the small hard core group. Sunday was the larger party group. I lose most of my games as these people are so good but its still fun. Looking forward to fire in the wood stove.

DH kindly agreed to go to the post office for me and mail a package. I so hate waiting in line there. Lordy Christmas is sneaking up. I need to get my act together if I am going to send anything to family in the midwest.

Cecily, I hear you on anxiety before workouts. I always had it before I had to do any performance in gym class as I was no good at anything and mostly got laughed at. Bad childhood experiences in gym class so formed many of our lives and made us fatties. I really hope that stuff has been reformed. I remember one friend who was a fat child like me. Every year for Christmas she was given some sports item like a tennis racket or golf clubs. It might as well have been a big sign that said "You are fat and we don't like it".

Speaking of sports, Shel, how did the scuba wars turn out?

Liz glad Paul got some dancing in. Maybe there is adult day care that has dancing each day. Or you could get a tv dance tape. Its so great he enjoys dancing and music.

Stay warm Diamond and Diane O. There is something that makes you feel safe and cozy in a warm house with snow outside as I remember from my midwestern days. However, there was also an instinct to make chocolate chip cookies. Better to substitute hot chicken soup.

Well not much more here. Time to make eggs and get moving. Diane S

Good Morning All - Finally have a day with no appointments etc after work. My dinner plans cancelled as my friend is ill. Yesterday was hectic - in between a days work I ran my neighbour and her girls to dancing then picked them up, then ran her down to the doctor and back. She cant drive after C Section so Im happy to help out. Little Audrey is doing well and has astounded the doctors with her progression. I am loving cuddles with her and think I will be a big part of her life as I am her big sisters. So blessed. Had therapist appointment then drove into city to see my SIL who is in hospital for pain management. DH & I decided to grab dinner out and I wish we hadnt - it was yuk!

Forgot to weigh in again - will do that tommorrow

This afternoon I hope to unload some of the stones we collected on Monday night and put them out the back by the tap. Will be nice to get out in the fresh air

Attaching a couple of pictures from the wedding. DH & I (I was semi growling as he was trying to tickle me whilst my son took the picture - with a smile (kinda on my face of course) and our gorgeous little Grandson Ashton John. Love him so much.
