Too funny how everytime I am MIA there are millions of posts and when I have a chance to get back then everyone is busy ! Am I missing something? LOL !
So got tix for bro and family so we can all go to the Sharks game next Tues. Now that I say that, not sure I mentioned that they are down a few hours from here for SIL's parent's 60th. We had thought we'd go down too but the parents wanted just the kids. Good for them. Leaves me more time for cleaning and facelifts !
Can't wait - my kids will come down Mon nite and we'll all have dinner and chat - not sure what we'll be doing on Tues. Then when I get back to work my asst. decided to have knee surgery and I'll be by myself for a few weeks at the end of the year while I am slammed ! She does tend to think mainly of herself . . . My boss is wondering since I have been really quiet and working like a dog to get things done so I could take the 2 days off while my bro & fam are here. Not the best time of the month but I did it with a few hours extra. Will be checking emails and doing a few things I missed on Mon. AM but all is good. I WILL SURVIVE and I am jammin' on my workouts. Only missed y'day this week since we had a game.
So I shopped, started a few of the items I'm making (roasted the garlic and butternut squash and blanched my asparagus). I'm making roasted garlic mashed potatos, butternut squash soup and taking some asparagus wrapped with roast beef with roasted cream cheese spread on the beef - YUM !
Watered my garden (I planted some seeds for a winter crop and we are at about 70' this week so hopefully they'll sprout.) and then did 50 min of The Gauntlet. I can tell I have been lax on working out - it made me very tired and I'm sure I'll be sore cuz I could feel the old muscles as I was working them.
Good, Good, Good, I say . . .
Wendy - I'm kinda bah humbug too but if works goes OK and I can workout I'll make it through. Seeing the kids and fam will help me too. We're going to SIL's in town - most of DH's fam will be there and I have a great time with them. Then it'll be my fam Mon & Tues. Come'on girl and live vicariously through me if you need to. Think I'm writing a large enough book for you to do that?
You going to your Mom's?
Lori - sure hope all works out with work for you. Good you aren't worried - I'd probably be a wreck. I'm having a hard enough time cuz our owner keeps mentioning having to move down to our mfg plant and it's about 40 min from here. I am sooooo spoiled I live only 7 min from work. Not sure how I'd feel. I would like the veg time driving but that's alot of miles on the car (DH wanted a nice one even though I wanted a commuter car) so I don't want to run the miles up. Then the pay isn't that great so I'd have to get quite a good raise or I'll go the other direction to Silicon Valley which would be about the same distance with many more opportunities for growth.
Well - I think I need to have your attitude instead, huh?
So you are melting away again, huh? What is going on or is it just that you are working out like crazy these days? Don't get unhealthily thin now - remember how it was with your Mom last time?
Jen - yep, I think I'll leave Insanity alone for a bit and hit it probably next year sometime intermittently with other workouts. Work being nice to you lately? You have the kids for TDay or does XDH?
Laura - forget the cals cuz you'll do extra workouts to make up for it. ITA it is moderation and a little bite of everything that works well That's what I do too and never overeat or really gain much that way. We'll see how things go but we're going to be out at a large wholesale nursery in the foothills so may go for a walk later too. It is beautiful and quiet out there - I love GTG's at SIL's. Your food sounds scrumptious !
Diana - Did you get your workout in y'day? Good for you on booking your flight though I was a little confused. Did DH want you to go earlier to be with DS1? Is he not going to see his girls on Xmas? That would just be WRONG ! Usually it is a split day so he shouldn't have to be alone !
It does get hard when family moves on in life and the holidays come around. As long as everyone understands it works well. You said he was OK with it - do you believe him or do you think he was trying to keep you from making a hard decision? Either way it will work out and he and the girls will be having a great time with you soon ! Enjoy your GTG today.
So I slept super duper after we got home about 1 AM last night (really this AM). No pains and layed in bed for a while just vegging and it was fine? After my last PT appt I think we figured out it is more the nerves in my arm and possibly not my neck. I kept my shoulder in a different position - that is where I originally thought it stemmed from. We'll see if I can do a replay tonight. I was happy happy happy this AM and well rested too !
Okie dokie -time to finish my foods and shower for the fun !
P.S. - sorry for the book - guess it has been a while and just nice not to have my arm fall asleep while I type !
Until tomorrow . . .
