nina, your slow run is prob faster than my fast run! lol
sorry abt the fd
id wager youre not seeing change bec you already look like a model! you are way too hard on yourself! what change are you looking for?
 
We are just home from the dr. Everything is okay but my daughter came home with FIVE prescriptions, had a shot in the office and got a diagnosis of seborrea (spelling ??). I told her I would leave the room at any time if she was uncomfortable and she said "You're my MOM ! If I was going to be uncomfortable it would be because of the dr." LOL
Also my other daughter isn't shy at all . I saw both her babies born . In fact, I was her coach when he hubby didn't get there in time when she had her last one a year ago.
So, she wasn't embarrassed to have me along, just is SO STUBBORN to ask for or accept help sometimes !
I wished her hubby would go along so I offered to babysit but when she said he was staying with them- I asked repeatedly if I could go along- just said I didn't want her there alone when she didn't know what was wrong or what tests they might send her for.
Anyway, we are both glad there were two of us there today because this specialist wasn't the best communicator so we had to ask a lot of questions !!!

Becky, O how I dream of a willing & able babysitter!:D

No WO today yet & I'm not sure if I will. I feel like I've been hit by a truck!:confused::confused: If I do WO it'll be an easy Leslie Sansone or something tonight.
 
Save on your food shopping!!!!

heading out for DR appt but i just had to answer on the food shopping...

now don;t everyone freak on me... yes i really do spend an average of $60/week on groceries. this is AVERAGE, most weeks it is 50-65, other weeks up to 100 when i have to buy cleaning supplies or stock up on stuff. i don't clip coupons at all, too much to organize. but i do buy whats on sale (or regularly inexpensive) for meat/fish, i do buy 50cent day-old bread, and also use-it-quick discounted produce from the back of the store. it helps that i go almost every day and can see whats marked down thats looks good.

and i do shop at multiple places but only for specific bargains - my dad comes into town every other week or so and shops at a particular butcher where we get 1.49/lb bnls/sknls brsts, thighs, and tenders, and pork tenderl. for 2.99/lb. that stuff goes right in the freezer.

i dont buy many convenience type pre-washed or cut stuff. for instance, i buy 2lb blocks of chs and grate my own, things like that make a difference but they certainly "cost" me time. i def spent MORE $$ on food when i worked for that reason.
 
Hi everybody!

Angie, busy day! I like that idea for the core. I will try to remember to try it because I feel the same way after cardio.

Kate, sorry, why do they always wake up easy on the wrong days And hope the milk duct clears for you soon! I feel like I have been hit by a truck too, but I know it isn’t a clogged milk duct :) I thought the cat story was funny too:)

Becky, glad everything went ok at the dr’s. I can see my two being the exact same way as your two :)

Robin, great job with the 2 pounds!!!! Thanks,no pics yet, hopefully someone will post some, the parents weren’t allowed to take pics at this one.

Katie, glad you are feeling better and able to get back to working out :)

Wendy, I think that menu is great for the teenagers :) Hope you had a fun step class!

Colleen, thanks, one more to go! This snow has made a normal week difficult! Great workout!

Klaudia, I am w/you on the grocery prices – we don’t buy excess but the bill is just crazy it seems. I try to sit down and budget for lower but it is hard to make it work and eat right for 5 people!

Still not feeling so good. Maybe the flu or something??? Woke up to use the bathroom last night and got so dizzy I didn’t think I was going to make it back to the bed. Was in a cold sweat and just tried to breathe slowly to stop the dizziness. I was off already today so that is good. Not feeling anywhere as dizzy as last night, but still don’t feel right.

Woo hoo! Dance got cancelled cause the roads are so bad! The girls played outside with the neighbor boys and their mom snow blowed my driveway while the kids had hot chocolate and played here:) I just finished my workout and will be venturing over to my friend's house-she lives a mile away-for dinner:) Not a bad day!

Wendy, that's amazing! I could stand a few lessons in shopping. I just hate it and try to make it as painless as possible so I only go once every 10 days-2 weeks! And I do buy shortcut stuff-bagged veggies, cheese, etc. Gotta change my ways!

Clintonya, feel better! That's the worst-I'd rather have what Kate had last week!

Gotta shower!
 
Wendy, I always peel/cut/grate my own stuff too. UNLESS the precut stuff is super discounted & I know I'll eat it that day.

Clintonya, Dizziness is awful - hope you can get to bed early!

Klaudia, Nice day!
We don't plow our driveway. We just put it in 4 and drive on thru it!:D:eek::eek:

Went to chiro - my UB is so tight. 'Bout to start dinner but I'm not eating. This duct is making me nauseous!
 
Nina, sorry I missed your post – can’t focus today! Good job for keeping on track even w/family drama! Are they both in Fl also? Don’t get discouraged yet, ttom can definitely be the issue!

Wendy, way to go w/the grocery bill! I think that is a lot of my problem, don’t have time to see what is necessarily the cheapest that week, just have to go to the usual stores!

Klaudia, yea for dance - I know I shouldn’t but I love when that happens. Thanks, it just came out of nowhere and took about 3 hours before I didn’t feel like I was constantly spinning!

Kate, hope you feel better! Tonight isn’t a late night, so I will try to do that!

Got in about 30 min of kpc – all I could handle today. Ears feel weird, so maybe it’s an ear infection??

Hello ladies. I only have this week left of ICU and then no overnight call until May!!! I am on call tomorrow night and Sunday, and then floor patients only!!! Yippee!!

Today I did HIIT Double Pyramid. It was supposed to be 40/20, but I accidentally did that one last Monday instead of DP, so it was DP today. Then I took Z out in the jogging stroller for a 2 miler. Wow, my vibram five fingers, even though they were the kind for cold weather running, couldn't keep my feet warm in all that slush! I think I'll wait until there is NO snow on the ground before attempting another outdoor run.

Angie, good luck on that anatomy test!

Robin, congrats on those 2 pounds!

Katie, your cheddar mashed potatoes sound delicious!

Klaudia, I second the barilla protein plus pasta. I also spend way too much on groceries. My bill Saturday was $175. Ick.

Becky, hope your daughter's skin clears up soon.

Kate, we use those teething tablets here too. One of the nurses at work was asking me about the active ingredients. I think belladonna is the part that cuts down on some of the drool and can numb a bit? I dabble in homeopathy, but I am an allopathic MD, so that is not my expertise. Hope the milk duct gets unclogged. Oh, and your description of cat mating made me giggle. I am so glad human penises don't have spines that rake the sides of our vaginas!!!

Colleen, your breakfast made me salivate...and I am not even hungry.

Clintonya, sometimes viral things or sinus issues can cause ears to feel odd. If you don't have a fever or ear pain, it likely isn't an ear infection (although ya can't be certain unless someone looks in them). If it is an allergy thing or a sinus thing, taking benadryl or chlorpheniramine at night can dry you up and clear up fluid in the ears causing the problem. If its viral, you just have to ride it out. Anyway, hope you feel better.

Scheduled to do STS disc 19 tomorrow. Oh, and I am loving our new heavy bag!!! I did the heavy bag add on Friday after MMA Boxing and it was SUPER fun! It really kicks up the intensity. I probably burned more calories during the heavy bag add-on than the entire MMA Boxing workout prior!

ugh....yuck. Sorry to complain but I feel downright awful and I am SICK of it! Clogged duct, sore throat, and a tummy bug again. When is this gonna end?!?!?!


Clintonya, A wo is a wo - good job! Hope you don't have an ear infection - ouchie!
 
DrBecky, Good work news! that must feel great!
Nice WOs! You're doing great! I was hoping DH was going to get me a bag for V-Day, but alas....no such luck! Yeah, those tootsies sound a bit cold! I can't wait to pop Julia in the front pack and go on walks again!

Better go to my lil stinker - she's crying in her bed. *** Mama whines: I just wanna go to bed earlyyyyyyyy ***
 
Oh KATE !!!! I feel so bad for you ! You need a break !!!!

I hope you can get a solid night's sleep tonight and wake up feeling much better in the morning. You sound miserable. I wish I could help.

(((((((( Kate ))))))))))
 
I mean to say Hi Dr. Becky !! I'm glad you are so close to a long break from overnight call !!!! I'm sure that makes you and your DH very happy. :) :)
