Good morning all! It's a beautiful morning - shaping up to be a scorcher of a Sunday! The birds are getting their singing time in, and the "contraband kitty" (intros on her later) has meandered into my living room to watch them from a cooler spot. ReneeP , oh, ow! I hurt just thinking...

Hi all! Quick check in for me today ... hope to have more time for personals later. The radiation treatments are starting to catch up with me; well, I'm getting twice the normal dosage here on this special 16 day versus 32 day protocol, so that's not surprising. The HUZZAH part is that I only...

Good morning everyone! I had planned to pick up the apartment and then go ride Picante again. BUT. Since (a) I did Cathe on Friday, and (b) was horseback for the first time since Christmas on Saturday, the logical consequence of a+b is ... DOMS! DOMS! DOMS! It's probably not possible for me...

Hello everyone! It's so nice to be back. Thank you for the warm welcome - I could feel the hugs all the way through the computer :D:D:D I am the prodigal exerciser returned to the fold :eek: It's a lovely day outside and ... Picante is here! My big bay warmblood arrived in style, in a huge...

Hi all. Writing from the road using Cathe 's app. Convenient to read but not so much for writing. Mostly walking and free weights in a few sets rather than anything intense . Radiation. Will be one third done today! Best to all.

Checking in ... miss you all Hi everyone, Thought I'd take advantage of this Mother's Day weekend to check in with you. It has been about two years since my last real posting. Though so much has changed with us all, and so many challenges, I love seeing that support and warmth is a constant...

Hi all! I'm finally finding an evening when I'm home, not getting caught up with work, not and not on the phone with family :o The time change did me a big favor :eek: It's an ongoing challenge to rebuild so many habits and activities with my job change, so much to learn there with a...

It depends on how you want to use it. I bought a 20 pound vest, for use in walking on trails. It's lighter weight, fits (relatively) neatly under a jacket, and works well for that. However, when I began doing STS I was using it with dumbbells for squats. In that situation I quickly found...

Hi all! I'm waiting for a taxi, due on five minutes, and thought I'd use them here :) This week, I'm finally getting a better handle on workouts. I was able to do four short ones: a cardio coach, a Kelly C-M kickbox, and 20 minutes of kettlebells twice. That's not all that impressive and I...

Hi all, I'm laughing at my accountability list - a nice goal, not there yet! Still and all it has been a terrific first week back east. HECTIC. Michelle, our agency's four star director sent out my welcome notice and a nice bio on Thurs. BIG GULP. That means tasking is around the corner, as...

High intensity is very hard on the body when you're just getting started again - it is easy to overdo and get hurt. For myself, when coming back after a break in training, I find it better/safer to either reduce the intensity (so that it's more of an intense interval workout), or else increase...

Oh, good idea! Group accountability ... and ((((group hug)))). Laura, you are for certain not the only one. Life is so haphazard now that I could really use our check-in to get back on track, though of course I'm one of the worst for posting lately ... At the moment, most of my workout...

How about letting your mom to set up lunch, since this is somewhat traditional for your family? Lunch is not a lifetime commitment - it is just an hour or so, with someone you used to like. Go in without a strong expectation of more than that, and just see how it goes. And, if he's still upset...

Hi all! I'm back home for a week of vacation ... and last minute packing around home, but mainly to defuse. The new job starts a week from Tuesday. :eek::eek::eek: We had both my final project reviews and farewell party last week. It was pretty emotional; hard to say goodbye to so many good...

Hi all, Two days, two workouts, though very short ... must be that things are looking up :) Next week is my last week on the current job, and I'll be staying in a hotel to get things settled there, then back home for a week, then East. Michelle, yes, I thought hard about it and decided...

Hi everyone, wanted to wish you a quick hello and an update :) It's hectic, but things are getting done. We've bought a new car via internet for when I'm east rather than shipping our older one - very fun indeed! Hopefully that will work out as planned. I've packed/vacated my current on site...

Ditto on the chia - try mixing in a little dried peppermint leaf, too. Most of my staples for lengthy airline travel wouldn't make it in that amount of heat. Would a Bento Box work for you? This one is great for a single day's worth of food: Amazon.com: Zojirushi SL-JAE14 Mr. Bento...

Hi all, It's beyond hectic here - I'm definitely moving East! Getting transitioned is taking all of my time. I've spent ten days on travel, then five days on my soon-to-be former job site, and three days home (off again in half an hour). Workouts are *really* suffering ... but then, I'm...

Hi all, I uploaded quite a few pictures from earlier this week onto my facebook spage - daffodils in the woods. I *think* you can get to it through this link, at least if you have an account on facebook...

Eeek! No worm eating, Janie!!!! And wow, your jewelry just gets more and more beautiful. You have an eye for combining the colors, textures, sizes, and shapes, that's for sure!!! Quickie updates for now ... It's crazy-hectic-time, but the end is in sight. Got back yesterday from my week of...
