50 and Over: ~~ Monday, Monday~~

[fox2star]

Good Morning!

What a wonderful weekend! The air was crisp but not too cold, it was sunny and the colors of the leaves were awesome. Since we didn't have a lot of posters, I am assuming that everyone was out having a good time.:7

Today was cardio , I-Tread 44 minutes, 319 calories.
Todays menu:

Post workout: protein shake
B- cherrios w/strawberries, skim milk
s: cottage cheese w/applesauce
L: Ham on WW, grapes, skim milk
S: stringster & apple
D: Leftover Mexican
S: Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich or WW ice cream bar

We get my dog's blood work results today. I am hoping that he is ok and it is not Cushings or Addison's which is what they suspect. ;(


Jen,Garance,Josie,Nancy and anyone else:

Have a great day!
Deb ;-)

Happy Monday, All,

Deb, crossing my fingers for good news on your dog.

Linny, the new car sounds super cool. What color are you getting? Yes, every member of the male species I know rolls his eyes when I say that's at the top of my list when considering a new car.

Evidently I popped a stitch the first week following surgery - not sure when exactly since it was bandaged for a week. I haven't worked out for over 4 days because it hurts even to do cardio - don't know why - maybe increased blood flow? I get the stitches out tomorrow, so things should drastically improve after that. Who knows how long before I can use weights, though. Sounds like a weight-gain scenario is shaping up for the holidays, sigh.

I've pretty well decided I'm not buying the new Cathe STS. What do you all think?

Have a wonderful day,
Jen

Hi Deb, Linny, and Jen--

Today I did the upperbody premix from 4DS--67 min. of back, chest, shoulders, bis and tris. This is an excellent workout. Did not do anything yesterday because I wanted to be ready for my workers to give them instructions on cleaning up my gardens, which are now cut back. I pulled up my phlox which mildews every year for no discernible reason (for cripes sake, it's in full sun and it still does this!). I'm going to put in some more stella d'oro daylilies or rudibeckia.

Linny, I have a Honda CRV--red. It's going on three years. I must have a SUV because of the uphill climb in winter where I live. Cannot be without 4 wheel drive, and I love sitting up high to see the road. I really like this car a lot, and it's decent on gas--20-25 mpg.

I will get Cathe's new series when she does the presale. It looks like all weights, and the way my knee is still feeling, I may be cardio shy, but I can still do the weights.

Wore my absolutely stunning new dress last night. I received lots of compliments. I also wore these gold sandals DH bought for me several years ago on a trip. I have finally made them comfortable with lots of moleskin, and DH is very pleased. Felt Cinderellaesque.

Kind of gloomy here today, but also very quiet because of the holiday.

If any of you have service men and women in your families, I hope this Veteran's Day reminds us all to thank them. Thanks from me, and I hope they are safe.
