STS first time!

[gratefuldog]

PS: your nap sounded divine Missy. I took a hot bath a little while ago. I was laying back reading the last few pages of my Ab special when all of a sudden I twitched and woke myself up. I had dunked half my magazine in the water! Darn it! It happened a couple more times and then I decided I better get out before I drowned!

[missyt]

Just completed my workout!!!!

Carolyn---I have done that before. That is where I like to read my magazines too!!! I have only dunked one magazine with help from Boots!!! He loves water, everytime I take a bath or shower he is right there with me. I wasn't kidding when I said he was a momma's boy!!! He goes everywhere with me (in the house). Like a little puppy! My husband always says he is or "small" dog! Make sure you dry out that magazing....it is a good issue!!!

I went outside, before I exercised and my husband was watering all the plants....I cut my knee open on the fence. I am accident prone!!! My husband also calls me "prone"!!!!! He then had to help me get inside to clean all the blood...yes is was gushing!!! So, we bandaged it and I went to exercise!!! It leaked a little, but now is all sealed up and looks good!!!

Good night to all...Be back first thing tomorrow...after I check the daily deals!!!

Evening ladies!

Not feeling so hot right now. For some reason my tummy's upset, I've had a headache all day and I feel like I could fall asleep typing this. I wanted to post quick though.

Carolyn- you're poor baby boy! I'm like Missy, my finger hurt just reading it!
Hopefully it'll heal up really quick! Men definitely jump to the anger before the comforting thing first. Mark's the same way. He's gotten much better at being more nurturing with the kids but with me forget it! If I'm not feeling good...I'm on my own! If HE's not feeling good...well you can imagine the end of that thought!

Missy- Your poor knee! Yikes! All kinds of injuries tonight! I'm so jealous of your garden! I can't wait to get mine in. Hopefully in a few weeks! It'll be a long time before we get any yummy veggies though!

Marie- When I was pregnant the doctor and all the literature at the time said you could have up to 200 mg of caffeine a day and it was fine (equals one cup of coffee). When I first got pregnant, I tried to quit coffee completely and it was a disaster. I was nauseous as it was and then I developed a huge caffeine withdrawal headache and my fatigue was through the roof. When I mentioned it to the nurse she was like, "oh honey, you can have one small cup of coffee a day...it's fine!". My kids are pretty normal...I think! I don't think they are sure of all the implications of too much caffeine but I know if you drink extreme amounts (like several cups a day) you can increase the risk of miscarriage. Of course, extreme anything is bad! Like Carolyn said, think about what all our mom's did back in the day before they knew all the stuff that could happen. My mom smoked when she was pregnant with me...although I give her crap that that's maybe why I'm so short! She actually smoked with all of us except my youngest sister who is like a giraffe! I swear, she doesn't even look like she's related to us, she towers over all the rest of us girls!

Okay, I'm gonna go lie down. Night girls!

Colleen- Thanks for the info! That makes me feels better. I have heard that one cup a day is fine but I always need someone else to remind me. A girl I work with drinks one cup every day. Honestly I wouldn't go there, but once in a great while works and makes me feel better especially with hearing you agree. Thanks! That Diet Coke did wonders. I even walked 3 laps around the building on my evening break. It's starting to wear off now though which it good cuz I want to be dead tired by the time I hit the bed. Hope you feel better tomorrow!!!

Missy- Sorry about your knee- ouch! Hope it doesn't hinder your workouts. Congrats on your crops. I hope to have a garden one day. Darn right garden veggies are soooo much better than from the grocery store

Carolyn- Thanks for the info! It's crazy that people smoke when pregnant, especially now-a-days when they know the possible implications. To each their own I guess. Your bath sounded nice. I could go for one right about now. I have this nasty knot in my lower back. Sitting here with a warm blanket on it. Been trying to convince Tony to give me a massage.....good luck with that haha!

Almost there...less than hour and a half left! Thank goodness!

Chat with ya all tomorrow!

Good Morning!!! Well, last night the moon was brighter than it ever was. I woke up at 3:00 am and thought it wa 8:00. I finally got up at 7:00. I guess I am just so use to getting up at certain times, that it messed me all up.

I am off for my run. Just wanted to say Hi and check the daily deals. I just bought Body Blast super sets. Now I only have 1 more that I am waiting for. Yeah!!!!

Carolyn---I hope your sons finger is feeling better. My knee looks nasty, but feels better.

Marie---Enjoy your coffee with moderation!!!

Colleen---Hope you are feeling better. It seems like if I am going to get sick, it is always on my days off!!!

Hello to all of our other friends!!!!

BBL!!!! Gotta Run...literally!!!

[gratefuldog]

Hope you are feeling better Colleen!!

Missy, ouch to your knee! I am glad it didn't hold you back on your workouts. I don't think anything could!

My son's finger seems good today. I made him take a bath last night and soak it. The bandaid came off well, and then I put ointment on it and wrapped it in gauze. At some point I am going to have to cut the skin, but he freaked out at the meniton of it.

I woke with a sore throat. More like a swollen gland pain. I think I have some post nasal thing going on. When I first got up my throat felt swollen way up high in the back. That has gone away, but now my right gland in my neck hurts when I swallow. Strange.

Not sure of my workout today. I kinda feel blah. Might just call this a rest day.
Time to eat! I am starved!

[missyt]

Hello again!!! I made an delious salad for lunch today. Then, I prepared all my snacks in ziplocks for the week.

I just did a competition on my elliptical. It was tough....but I finished! The resistance went up to 15. That is crazy!!! I thought my legs were going to die!!!!!! When I was done, you could have ran out my clothes...eek!!! A good nasty!! I love it when I can tell I worked out though. I laugh(inside) at people...(my coworkers) who think taking a leasure walk done the street is enough to lose weight. They have no clue!

Last week, out cleaning lady at the office is about 150+ pounds overweight. She is also our patient. She complimented me...(which was nice) but she wanted to know how I lost...so I told her exercise and a healthy diet. You would have thought I punched her in the face. She responded with...but what weight loss pills did you take? When I told her none, she said..."well, I don't want to exercise. I just want to lose the weight." I told her nothing comes for free, and as Cathe states...you get what you give" So eating friend chicken everyday is going to get you nowhere. Some people!!!! hahahaha

Carolyn---Hope you are feeling better. Sometimes, our body needs rest...so rest today!!! We are allowed to have rest days.....I just do do it very often. (I save them for my time of the month, unless I am sick) I do find, trying to exercise with a sore throat is not pleasurable.

Okay, off to watch some TV with my man!!!!

BBL!!!!

[missyt]

By the way....where is everyone?

[gratefuldog]

I know!! I think Jean is traveling back from her sisters. Betty is hanging in Italy! Colleen hopefully isn't down and out on the couch. Mary is probably at a game or a practice. Marie is probably at work. So it is just you and I my friend!
That is unreal aobut that woman at work!! Diet pills?? What era is she from?!! I am thinking you should have literally punched her in the face! lol! Just kidding!

Kids are fighting. gotta go.

[mfv3]

Yup you are right I'm at work. Almost done though thank goodness. Today was rough. Slept for only a few hours. Missy- Like you mentioned the moon was soooo bright last night. We had bad storms too so I woke up around 3am and couldn't fall back asleep. No fun. I'm excited to hit the hay early tonight. Ok totally agree....people are sooo crazy thinking they can lose weight by walking and still eating the crap that they always eat. I hate hearing people say "I just can't lose weight. I've been working out. I don't get it." They don't realize that even running 6 miles only burns roughly 600 calories and you can intake that in a matter of minutes. Sorry I could go on forever about this topic...drives me insane. Carolyn- Glad your son's finger is feeling better. Hope your throat gets better too! Enjoy your rest day!
