Low Carbers & Friends - August 2011

Tracy must be having a great ole time on her anniversary!! lol

How's everyone doing? I actually did a workout yesterday and enjoyed it for once. Had a week off, guess I needed it. Did Cardio and Weights. I'm soooo much stronger than I used to be. I was actually using almost the same weights as Cathe during the entire weight section.
 
Wow, Rhea, you are doing an awesome job on that strength increase :cool:!!!!!! Hopefully Tracy really is having a great time celebrating ;). Think Melinda went to party with Tracy :p?

I am bringing my RM home from the long-term care center Thursday so I will not be around for a couple days until we get her settled back in and I get used to being a full-time caregiver again :rolleyes:. This time I get the added challenge of having to use a lift every time she needs moved :confused: - the fun just never ends :eek:.
 
Hi guys,

Lita, I have been doing some of the older workouts. Did Muscle Max and something else, can't remember at the moment, and I was able to match or closely match Cathe. So STS really did work. I will give it a try again, but wait a few more months. We've also been biking.

So, I'm flying out to Stockton, CA in a bit. DH is going with me (for work). We're going to Yosemite park later this week, I'm taking a couple days off.

Rhea, how's work? Big sigh of relief!

Tracy, I hope you're doing ok. Can't wait to hear from you.

Reece, I see your posts on FB.
 
Hi babes! I am sorry I was gone so long!! This month has really been nuts!

Rhea, I am sooooooooooooo happy that you are free, free at last!! I'm also glad you took some much needed rest. I was in training 3 days last week and rather than use the hotel workout room, I went shopping instead! It was rather awesome too I must say. :D

Lita, I am thrilled that RM is coming home!! For some reason, I thought she was going to be gone longer. Can you get some in-home help so it doesn't fall on you to do everything?

Melinda, enjoy Yosemite! DH and I went there and did a lot of hiking a few years back. Stockton is nothing to write home about but at least it isn't humid. :) And I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you come November....

OK, my boobie update! I went to the doctor that did the surgery and he said, "I heard you got a flat tire!" Wish I was on the ball enough to say, "Yeah! And I don't have a spare!" But I just laughed instead. It wasn't until he felt each one that he confirmed that I have a deflation. (So you can't tell really by looking at it.) I don't know how it happened, but I have a feeling that I had a slow leak over a period of years. It happens. Fortunately, getting it replaced is nothing like the original surgery. It's groggy anesthesia rather than general and a little soreness for a couple of days. And the best part is, the doctor will replace it for the cost of the warranty amount--yippee!!!! I have an appt. mid-Sept.

I will quit yakking now but hope to get back here again soon. Things are calming down on the homefront a bit, another yippee!
 
Tracy - So glad to see you! I am so happy the fix is simple for your boob job :D!!!! Believe me, more than 3 months has been plenty long enough ;). As for help - no. Not many people are willing to work for free like I do :p.
 
Wow Lita, it has been 3 months since RM has been home? Gosh time flies!! :( And I know, my sister charges the same price caregiving for her partner--you and sh are angels on earth!!

And BTW, HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR LITA!!! I HOPE YOU GET TO DO SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL FOR YOURSELF!!
You know, like play hooky from work! :D
 
Gosh, I finally got to log in at work (3G network is not working very well lately, err)

Have a wonderful BDAY Lita!!!
 
Tracy - Thank you for the kind words and birthday wishes! I must say, though, that your sister probably has purer motives than I do :p. I can't say I do it out of the kindness of my heart ;) - I would just feel too guilty to live with myself if I didn't help a friend who didn't have anyone else and desperately needed someone to be there.

Rhea - Thank you for the birthday wish! Hopefully your days are a lot more fun now, even with the slow connection ;)!
 
Not necessarily fun Lita, too busy for that, but maybe they are fun since the &^%$#head is gone. lol
 
Hi babes! I love your reference to your OLD boss Rhea! It's the same nickname I have for a friend's ex hubby. :p

Lita, you are an angel, don't say you aren't! I think alot of my sister's caregiving stems from guilt as well! :)

Went to a meetup group workout today for the first time in almost a year. It was great! They called it the Rocky Balboa workout so--you guessed it--lots of stairs involved. I'm hoping I can walk OK tomorrow!

Hoping to get the premixes from GS Upper body this week, along with some exercise with BB.

Have a great Wednesday babes!
 
Tracy - Well, if you insist, lol :p! OMG - what a workout for your first time there in so long :eek:!!!!
