BFL for Sat. April 5

Good morning Stephanie!

I'm taking it easy so far, but will need to do the PUB I didn't get in yesterday.

Update on my cat: She's allergic to the medicine trying to control her thyroid. In addition, it's appeared to have aggravated her intestines. She's getting perkier since she's been off the meds, but there are still many concerns. I do wish pets were covered under our medical insurance, too! They are family members!

BBL! Pup is anxious to go out! ('Course she is; I just sat down, just like one of the kids)
 
Good Morning Ladies!

Stephanie,Have 'fun' with PLB}(;-)

Sherry,enjoy PUB later...Im so glad that your kitty can start recovering now. I do wish her the best! And I agree,pets should be covered in our insurance plans! Vets are just so dang expensivex(.

Hey to everybody!

Today is suppose to be my rest day but i plan on walking for aleast an hour with maybe some short jogs in there! My eating last week was great at first but then fell apart towards the end,which has been the trend over the past three weeksx(. So my cheat day will be reduced to a cheat meal...and its hard to decide too.

Good Morning to you all,

What a day I had yesterday! Never did get in my workout. :-( My office phone was ringing off the hook and I just couldn't get a break from work.

Woke this morning with a blasting headache. Two things caused this...yesterday's busy day and last night glass of wine to try to unwind. Well that certaintly didn't work! I ended up tossing and turning all night and couldn't get myself up to take my medicine.

So today....calling in for a rest day.

Sherry and Stephanie: Enjoy PUB and PLB!

Sherry: So glad to hear your kitty is feeling better. I have found that when my kitty was on any medicine's and started to act finky this was the cause.

Hi Amelia:Enjoy your walk today. Are you headed out side? It is pouring here still and it rained all day yesterday. As for the cheat day...I think I blew mine with the wine! I should have known better and not have any especially after a day like that. Oh well...live and learn. :p

I will be headed out a little later to take DS shopping for his cell phone. This is what he wants for his BD present. It is a good idea anyway because he is spending more time going places with his friends after school and on weekends. He has a really nice group of friends and I am happy about that.

Catch up with you all later. Heidi
 
Good morning, ladies. We're headed out in 20 minutes for DS's baseball scrimmage, so I have to hit and run!

Sherry-I'm glad the kitty is doing better. And you're right....the health expenses can hurt too. It's a huge reason I don't get my kids a dog!

Amelia-enjoy your day. Do me a favor this weekend, ok? Look at your goals and set one new one for next week, concerning your eating toward the end of the week.

Stephanie-enjoy your workout!

Heidi-sorry about the headache and yesterday's busy day! Enjoy shopping with DS too!

As for me.......I'm tired. My legs are FRIED with a very big capital F! Yesterday's BFL LB workout has me stiff and sore, but then I decided to do my long run TODAY instead of tomorrow. Not such a good idea. I hopped on the TM and did an iTread (3, I think....lol) and logged 6 miles. Stopped for a potty break, and started back up with just some music. My legs felt like lead, I don't have any really good running music on my iPod so I kept jumping to the next song, and I just felt all disjointed and out of sorts. I couldn't settle into a good pace and I got a side stitch at about mile 8 that almost made me stop. ALMOST! By mile 10, I had enough. But, I WANTED my 13 miles, so I hopped on the stationary bike and biked 3 miles. Not the same as running, but at least I can say I got in my 13 miles today! :) Now, I'm really stiff and will be stretching quite a bit througout the day. Needless to say, I'm taking tomorrow's Rest Day head-on, baby! lol

OH! Just got a call and the scrimmage is cancelled! Now what?!? lol DS is nagging me to go to the flea markets, so maybe we'll do that. He collects baseball cards and he's hoping they have some there.

BBL sometime!

My arms are exhausted! It feels good, though it will be difficult to wash and dry my hair before we start running around. I'm hoping the toe is good enough for some power walking tomorrow; didn't bother me at all during today's workout.

Amelia - I wandered yesterday, too. They brought in lunch at work, and although I tried to eat clean, I needed more than the salad, and the rest of the food was not-so-clean (chicken tenders, wings, lasagna, bread sticks). At least they guys know that if they are inviting me to a meeting they better have salad. Just that salad alone isn't enough.

Heidi - Hope you are feeling better and the headache goes away. I'm glad other people wait on cell phones (yes, Gayle, I saw your post over on the OD). My DS is in the 6th grade and has on more than one occasion informed me that he is part of the 20% of the kids at school that doesn't have one. I keep telling him that he'll just need to keep being part of that 20%.

Gayle - Way to push out the miles. My UB will be feeling the same later today. My pecs are stressing just to type this.

Today's agenda - runs some errands, including finally mailing out the baby gift for SIL whose baby was born a month ago, lunch with DD since the boys are camping for the weekend with scouts, taking the dog to the dog park to wear her out and then to the groomer who has a do it yourself service (she'll find the only mud puddle at the park, she always does), maybe do some shopping or maybe hang out at the neighbor's (also DD's best friend) who just became a scrapbooking consultant and has all the new stuff (just what I need, an enabler a block away!)

BBL! Time to get showered and on with the day.
 
Anybody notice how QUIET it is around here without Belinda? LOL

don't tell her I said that!:)

Gayle
 
Hey girls!

I did a 30min run interval and a 30min walking incline interval on the Tread mill. Felt so good.

im glad i wasn't the only one that wondered from the clean eating wagon yesterday, I am amongst my people;-)

Gayle-i will set a goal,thanks! Im really just exhausted from 'thinking' about it(weight,clean eating) all the time! Im putting my scale up. Im buying that smaller pair of jeans and they will determine my success:). And I measure on the seventh so maybe that will turn out good;-) Great workout, High fives on the 13miles! Enjoy your rest day tommorrow!

Sherry-Sounds like you have a busy day...im glad your toe didn't bother you today!

Hey to everybody:) bbl
 
Just stoppin' by . . .

Gayle - Yes, it is quiet today. So many folks must be out enjoying the beautiful spring day. At least it's spring here in southeast Michigan - 60 degrees and sunny. The most telling sign that spring is here is that the pile of snow at the end of the driveway is finally gone. For good I hope.

Amelia - Nice run/walk. I'm right here with you fighting those urges! I do better on days that I work out really hard (like today) because I don't want to sabotage the results. means I should work out hard every day!

We're back from the dog park/bath. As expected, she found the mud puddle and was quite proud of herself as she pranced in it. I really need to capture it on film next time. Just like a kid, our 9 month old golden will not have this same sense of joy and wonder as she gets older.

Anyway, DD and I are changed into dry, clean clothes and are chilling for a bit 'til we head out for some "real shopping" (meaning for her) and ice cream.

Hope you all have a nice evening!
