    I see the US plays a bit later today. It's very exciting!!! Another week has gone by. It was my off Friday yesterday. I only worked an hour extra. We've been receiving Christmas deliveries for a bit now. I was able to unbox and wrap while the girls were at school. That was nice. I'm...

    Hey Beth, I didn't realize an entire week has gone by. I'm working on a project and have been approved to work over 80 hours. I don't get OT pay but will get straight time. It's a nice bonus. I worked last Friday which was my off Friday. Today I only put in a 1/2 hour, just enough to...

    Another week has gone by. I'm so bored. Not being able to go anywhere and walk around is really wearing on me. The basement is so close, but not quite done yet. Just a few minor things to finish up. The girls and I cleaned up my workout room a bit, but we can't put everything away yet...

    The girls mom and me have been trying to get taylor swift tickets this morning and the site went down. So frustrating. Wish us luck. We had a code to log in 30 minutes early, but the site went down. Hopefully we will be able to get tickets. My office is on the main floor at the front of the...

    I found some chair workouts on youtube and did one of those this morning. It was pretty basic but it was something I could. I also found some chair ab workouts and did one of those too. It's nice to move a bit for sure. Hopefully this week I can make it to the basement for some upper body...

    The stitches are finally out. They had a hard time getting them out because my foot is still so swollen. I'm in a boot and using a walker. I'll be in a boot for the next 4 weeks. I should be able to ditch the walker in a week or so. My foot is so swollen and feels so tight. I used a...

    I can't wait until Thursday when I get my stitches out and a boot. It will make is so much easier to get around. I'm hoping I can resume working out this weekend. It will only be upper body for at least another month. I may give the rower a try and see how that goes for cardio. I will have...

    Well I'm back at work today. I have my foot up on a folding chair with an ice pack. So far so good. No exercise yet. I'm in a partial cast up to my knee. I'm using a walker and hopping. Today I had DH help me get into and out of the shower. I have large step up to the drying area and a...

    I did workout Friday, Sat and Sunday. No workout to report for today since I had my pre-op appt with the surgeon. I'm hoping to do RWH CST and abs tomorrow and possibly a short cardio on Wed morning. My surgery isn't scheduled until 2:30pm. I saw my sister for a bit on Sunday and also my MIL...

    It sounds like you had an amazing trip. I lost my MIL's coat at Heathrow airport and we never got it back. The trip was definitely worth buying her a new coat. The long flights are brutal and add in the time change it sure is a rough few days. Is Covid ever going away??? I just had my flu...

    Damage Control

    Well I got in a good workout on Monday. Nothing Tuesday or Wednesday. My workout room is a complete mess with the basement bar/kitchenette going in. They had to tap into the water supply in my gym and have the tv and other stuff moved into the middle of the room. I think once the cabinets...

    Sorry I've been MIA this week. I had jury duty and thankfully did not get picked. I had to go on Tuesday and Thursday. They were putting together a jury for a 1984 murder case of a 12 yr old girl. Her body was found in 2019. The trial started on Friday and is scheduled for 5 weeks. The...

    Yesterday was a back and biceps workout and 20 minutes of cardio. Today will either be legs or CST. I'm thinking legs since those w/o's are longer and I can do CST tomorrow. Everything I ordered for the basement has arrived! The start is scheduled for either Oct 10th or 11th. I'm really...

    Yes, Prom is in the spring. This is for the fall Homecoming Dance. I think its on the Oct 7th or 8th. The girls are very excited. I don't like that it is getting dark earlier either. It makes it so I can't walk after dinner. I tweaked my back this morning just getting out of a chair...

    I replied a few days ago but never hit enter. Anyway, I've been getting in about 4 to 5 workouts per week and am learning to good with that. Yesterday was legs, German volume training. It was 10 sets of 10 reps of squats, lunges, deadlifts and step ups. I used 95lbs for the squats and...

    No workouts M-W. Monday I had a blood draw and have a followup appt with the Dr. next week to review them. This is for the testosterone and sermorelin that I'm taking. My skin has improved and I feel much stronger. I weighed on the in body scale and my muscle is slightly increased. I am not...

    I was off work until yesterday. My original plan was to go to Maine but DH didn't want to. I took the time off anyway. I did help DS2 move apartments. He lived on the third floor, only stairs and I did a lot of them. Since I have a bad knee, I could only carry small/light weight items and...

    I've had a very hectic week as well. No workouts M-W. UGH. I hate when work gets in the way of my workouts. We found out my dear MIL has bladder cancer. She was in the hospital the other day because she was in so much pain and couldn't relieve herself. They sent her home with a catheter...

    My son just set up the Peloton last night and I didn't have a chance to try it out yet. I think I will get the seat settings right for me and give a try on Friday. He said you can take a free class and that's probably what I will do. As far as your bike goes, what about just getting a bike...

    Oh my gosh, I didn't realize it had been so long since I checked in. Work has been very busy, really ramping to get some year end goal completed. I had a late night Thursday, worked until just after 11. My workouts are becoming more intermittent which I don't like. I am still getting in...
