    STS first time!

    Hello! My beautiful dds turn 15 today, I cannot believe it! I baked the cake last night but I was too tired to frost it, so I made the frosting this morning and frosted it. Will have to decorate it when I get home tonight. They want to go into Boston for dinner so I hope the weather...

    STS first time!

    Good morning! This morning I did CSS with the added step section, worked up quite a sweat. Yesterday we went to a send-off party for one of DD's closest friends, she leaves Tues. for a school in the south. DD has had most of the same friends since kindergarten so it is kind of sad to see her...

    Hi ladies! I did Legs&Glutes this morning, and went for a nice walk at lunch. What a gorgeous day here, clear and dry. Carolyn I am so sorry to read about the pain you are having. It would be so difficult not to bend. Keep taking the Advil, at least that gives you some relief. I hope you...

    Betty that weather sounds fabulous and I would gladly take it. I needed to let some steam off today so I went for a walk at lunch, but it felt like an oven outside. Carolyn I hope PT went well and he has some ideas for you. I still haven't gotten rid of my own issues completely, although I...

    Wah, how can it be Monday already?! It is hard to get up and come into work when my kids are home. Betty have a safe trip. Are you traveling by yourself? Carolyn, good luck with the pool issues. Today is a good day for the beach. Have you tried ice for your pain? I did LIC this morning...

    Carolyn, your injury sounds so much like mine. I did have a bit of a reveal when the 1st PT did ultrasound on that area, but the ultrasound did not end up helping. Maybe yours will do something different? Funny, dd was up at the crack of dawn, got picked up by boyfriend to go hiking in NH...

    Carolyn, that's good news about seeing your PT guy! I am interested to hear what he does for/with you, since I have had issues with the same area. Betty, it was funny about dd and boyfriend. She has talked about him for a while and said he was one of her best friends, but I think he was...

    STS first time!

    Happy Friday! This week has been unbelievably busy, and I am exhausted when I get home from work. I am hoping things will settle down a bit at work but can't see that happening in the near term. I tried to skim through past posts but there were too many. Betty I did see that you were in...

    STS first time!

    Hello! We got back from the Cape last night. We had a wonderful 2 weeks, but I honestly don't know where the time went. My sis and I did a long walk most mornings, and sometimes one of my dds joined in. DDs also had friends stay with us at different times. It was a nice time to spend with...

    Happy Happy Friday! Betty I did L&G this morning too, except I skipped the deadlifts, still can't do those. Isn't Cathe cheerful in that one? Jean I agree with everyone else, it seems like you have a wonderful lifestyle where you are now. I hope for something like that when I retire...

    STS first time!

    Hello! Too hot today to walk at lunch, plus the fire alarm went off and we had to walk down 10 flights of stairs to go outside. This morning I did XT bis and tris. The graduation party turned out great, it was a beautiful day. We ended up hiring a 'hostess' who heated and served all the food...

    STS first time!

    Hi ladies! Colleen, great to 'see' you back again! So happy for your new home! This new job has me spinning, so much to do. It seems like being a manager is going to meeting after meeting and getting more work but no time to do it. Ugh. I needed a quick stress reliever this morning so I...

    STS first time!

    Ouch Missy! That looks painful, please take it easy. How is your knee? I did MMA Boxing this morning. I am easing back into the cardio workouts, but it felt great to be able to do one I have not done in a while. As expected, hardly a dent made in the pile of wood chips! Have a great day!

    Happy Father's day to everyone! Can you believe my dh bought 23 yards of wood chips??!!!!! He said he measured, and now we have a huge mound in the driveway, and I can't figure out where it is all going to go. So that is how we are spending the day, everyone is helping move wood chips around...

    Hi Ladies! Graduation was wonderful, I felt sad a couple of times but held it together. I really am so excited for dd, she has such a wonderful future ahead, but can't help feeling sad that she will be going out on her own. There are so many graduation parties, we are having ours in another...

    Carolyn, my dh was in your neck of the woods last night for a meeting, he said police cars were everywhere. And I also saw it on the news. I saw they caught the guy back at his house? Crazies. Rest day today. I took dd to Joslin on Monday and her levels have been high so they adjusted her...

    Quick pop-in to say hello! I've had so much going on lately and I am generally exhausted. I was reading what you all said about deleting posts. When I post I am aware that anyone can read it, and I have tried to not be too specific, but things build up over time and who knows, maybe someone...

    STS first time!

    Hi Everyone! We had a great time at the Cape. The temps were cool, but I got alot of walking in. My girls were disappointed that it was not beach weather, but I am getting away from wanting to sit on the beach anyways. Being away from formal exercise made it that much harder to get up in the...
