Jogglers December 2013

I did 50 min. of yoga with my old Yoga Class Gary Bromley dvd. I plan to do something tomorrow morning. I have yet to see the new Hobbit movie. I've been working a lot on the computer. Hopefully, I'm close to being finished.

Tricia- poor Pup, I hope that Milo is feeling better soon. Congrats on zipping up your blue skirt!!!

Jane- your race schedule sounds so exciting! Well done on your workout.

Alisha
 
Alisha - Hope you got to see the new Hobbit movie! We haven't seen it yet. Yay for almost being finished with your project!

Milo is finally better! He took a good turn Friday night and he's had good eating days for 2 days. I think we're out of the woods finally. Going to keep feeding him bland food with some regular mixed in for another week and ween him back slowly. Poor baby still looks really skinny, but I expect that won't last long now that he's eating regularly.

I did yoga today too! Cathe's Yoga Relax. I work 4 days this week, then I'm off for 10 days! Woo-hoo! I only took 4 vacation days, but with the weekends and the office being closed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, it comes out to 10 full days!

Hi Jane!
 
Happy Monday!

I took Saturday as a rest day. Sunday was a 10 mile run. I am working out tonight but I have to find a workout. It won't be a normal leg workout because my sister is out of town and we usually do it as a partner workout. It's too boring to do by myself.

Tricia ~ When we were kids my dad would always say.."the days are getting shorter" at this time of year. Then on December 21st, he would remind us that it was the shortest day of the year. Then on December 22nd he would say "the says are getting longer" so I think that's on my brain this time of year.

I'm so glad Milo is feeling better. YIPPEE!!

Alisha ~ I hope you are close to finishing your project and that you get to see the new Hobbit movie. I do have a race on Saturday. It's a 6K. I've never done a 6K before so it will be an instant PR.

Have a great day!
 
Just about done!! Yippee. I have turned it over to IT for processing.

'I am free to do what I want, any old time.'

I did 25 min. of Tai Chi this morning before breakfast. I did get to go see the Hobbit yesterday. It was great!!

Jane- Why is it that a workout seems to go by faster when you have a friend?
I guess thats why I do DVDs, its like having a friend. My brother doesn't workout, and my parents don't workout, and the cat just does Cat-esthenics (runs around then stretches for about 3 minutes, but 3 minutes just isn't long enough for me.)

Tricia- Enjoy your vacation! I'm glad Milo is feeling better.
 
Rest day, my right arm is acting up. I am watching what I'm eating and my weight is down a couple of pounds. :) I'm trying to persuade my Mom to go see Frozen, the new Disney animated movie.

Have a happy Tuesday.

Alisha
 
Here is the workout I did yesterday. It was fast but effective and fun. It was a nice night to workout outside.

4 Rounds
1 minute ball slams
1 minute weighted step ups
1 minute weighted sit ups
1 minute weighted squats

Tonight is a rest day.

Alisha ~ I'm so happy to hear that you are done with your project. That must be a great feeling. Also, congrats to your weight loss. You can do it, girl!!!

It's always fun to workout with someone but that leg workout is particularly boring so it's best to have a friend.

Hi Tricia!
 
Hi ladies!

Every time I finally get to checking in here, I get attacked by snuggling beagles and put the computer down, then forget.

Alisha - Glad your project is almost down and you have lost a couple of pounds! Woo-hoo! I can't wait to see The Hobbit! I heard great things about Frozen, too. Hope your arm is better today.

Jane - Have a great race this weekend! Hope the weather is nice! Nice story about your dad! Guess that would make it stick! Sorry you had to workout alone. When you're used to having a partner, I'll bet it does make for a long workout alone.

I have not worked out for 2 days. Errands on Monday night and yesterday I just didn't feel like it. Should get back on track today. Eating hasn't been too bad, but the goodies have been rolling in at the office and I have been weak! Oh, well. It'll be over in 2 days, then I'll be on vacation and away from all that junk! Get to sleep in late for 10 days! Yay!

Is it summer yet? It has been such a cold December and we've gotten snow twice now. It snowed yesterday. Luckily, it wasn't a lot here. Boston and northwest of us got a lot. It's supposed to start warming up a bit today. Thank goodness! I'm tired of single digit nights and being barely in the 20s during the day. I'm cold 24 hours a day inside or out and I really hate that!

Have a great day you two! Milo had an upset tummy last night. Hoping it's just a weird thing.

Went to see Frozen with Mom yesterday. I made a mistake, I had a hot dog, and my skin hated it. So, no hot dogs. I'm ok now, but clearly my skin responds to food. My Dad figured it was the nitrates.

My right arm is bothering me so I'm sticking to walking until its better and meditation. I figure that its soft tissue damage from trying to lift my kit and that its not healing as fast because my body had to prioritize my skin over some internal arm issue. I'm still dairy free, taking my olive leaf, magnesium, and vitamin E. I'm applying my psorezma neem oil lotion and cetaphil.

I'm just fighting tiredness.

I am helping out with some of the photo processing on my project, even though that part isn't really my job exactly.

Mom was up throwing up blood, we are taking her to the dr. this morning. I hope they figure out what to do for her.

Jane- Thanks for the weight loss encouragement, I appreciate it! Well done on your workout!

Tricia- I hope Milo is feeling better today. Which workout did you pick? I can send you some of our 68 deg. temps. I don't do so well with treats that people bring, I always feel like I'm supposed to participate.
 
I am going running tonight even though I don't feel like it. I have to because my friend is coming so I can't get out of it.

Alisha ~ I hope your mom is ok.

Tricia ~ I hope Milo is ok today. My race on Saturday will not be cancelled because of weather. I will probably be wearing shorts and a t-shirt. The highs on Saturday and Sunday are in the 80's. It's should be 65 on Christmas day.
 
Evening ladies.

Alisha - Hoping your mom is okay! That is never a good thing! Sending her healing vibes! Hot dogs have so much crap in them, it's hard to know for sure what might have set your skin off, but I'm glad it's getting better!

Jane - So glad you have such nice weather for the weekend! We're warming up for a few days too and I'm sooo looking forward to it! We should be close to 60 by Sunday! It's a good way to make sure you do your workout by scheduling it with a friend!

Milo ate dinner tonight. That's good. I guess he just had a little relapse, but I'm exhausted and tired (same thing?) and didn't workout. Hoping he has a good night tonight so I can get some sleep!

Jane - Next year, I'm spending Christmas with you if we have January temps again in December! ;)

Have a great night you two!

Oh! Alisha - How was Frozen?
 
No workout for me today. This morning I fell in the parking lot at work and twisted my ankle. I'm not sure what I did but the next thing I knew I was rolling on the ground. I landed on my side and back but have no other injuries except for my ankle. It's swollen on my the front of the outside of the bone. No swelling under the bone or on the inside of my ankle. The race is definitely out for Saturday which is a big bummer because I was looking for to that race but it at least it didn't come at a time when I had lots of big races. Hope to be out for a couple of days and back at it sometime next week. I might do some ab and seated upper body work. There are only 2 of us in the office today so I've been icing and staying off of it as much as possible.

Tricia ~ I'm glad Milo is feeling better.

Hi Alisha ~ Thinking of your mom and hoping all is well.
 
I have a cold. My brother had it first. My Mom had it second. And now, I have it. I am fighting back with hot lemon/pepper drinks.

I am working on photos today. Later I will be meeting with one of my neighbors, she is going out of town and I will be cat sitting. Meow.

My right arm is feeling a little better. I won't be pushing it with the arm for a few days. I am going to stick to walking. No upper body stuff. Probably now yoga.

Jane- I'm so sorry you have a hurt ankle :( Hugs. I hope you heal soon. I'm so sorry that you can't run your race on Saturday.

Tricia- Frozen was great, a lot of broadway style numbers, super funny. Only thing was the volume was too loud for me. Next time I'm bringing ear plugs. I used to play violin in an orchestra, not guitar in a rock band:eek:

I am glad that Milo was able to eat properly. I hope you get some rest.

Alisha
 
Evening ladies!

Jane - So sorry about your ankle! I hope you're back on it in a few days, too! Stinks about your race though!

Alisha - Sorry you're sick! Yay for cat sitting! Maybe I should do that since I can't have any kitties for a while. I don't understand why they have to make the volume in movies so loud! Glad you enjoyed Frozen! I DID sing in rock bands and I still don't need my movies really loud! lol

No workout today. This week has been such a bust. Today was my first day of vacation, so I slept in until 9 and goofed all day. Tomorrow, I'm up early to make belgian waffles, make sure I get a workout in, go out and pick up a few odds and ends for Stephen's stocking and try to find a goose for Christmas dinner!

Wish me luck with that!

Have a great night and wonderful weekend!
 
Happy Christmas Eve Eve,

My ankle is still healing. It's getting better...just taking it's own time. It's bruised and still a bit swollen. Pain is minimal. It doesn't hurt when I put pressure on it but I'm trying to rest it as much as possible. It was hard this weekend but today it will be easier since I'm at work and there are only a couple of people here.

On Friday I did a 20 minute ab workout. No workout on Saturday but Sunday I did a seated upper body workout. I'm feeling it a bit today so it was good. I'll probably do abs again today.

Alisha ~ I hope you feel better soon! Take care and get some rest.

Tricia ~ Enjoy your time off. I have today and tomorrow and then I'm done until January 2nd. I'm sure we'll go home early tomorrow but not sure when.
 
I am resting, taking decongestants, and drinking warm lemon water. I hope that this clears up soon. I'm ready to get back to my workouts.

Jane-I hope your ankle is much better.

Tricia- Did you find a goose? What did you put in Steven's stocking?

Alisha
 
Happy Christmas Eve!

I'm at work but only anticipate being here until noon. There are only 3 of us in the office. I will be off until January 2. I never did my ab workout last night. It was rainy and we had to make fudge. :eek:

My ankle is better. The swelling is down and I am walking normally. It is achy today but I wonder if it's because of the change in weather. I don't think I'll get a workout in today but may take a walk tomorrow if ankle is better.

My sister and I are sleeping at mom's tonight and then my other sister will come over tomorrow morning. We don't do presents so we will just hang out, play games and eat.

Alisha ~ I hope you feel better soon! What are you doing for the holidays?

Tricia ~ I hope the goose is good! Enjoy your holiday!
 
Merry Christmas Eve!!!

If I wasn't so sick, I would bake some cookies. Whats your favorite holiday treat? Favorite holiday song?

I don't care for most sugar cookies, I find the decorations are too bitter. I like ginger snaps. I like the original version of Rockin Around the Christmas tree from Brenda Lee.

Jane- Needing to make fudge is a good reason for not doing an ab workout!!;)

Tricia- Happy Christmas EVE!!!! Hope that Milo is feeling good.

Alisha
 
Merry Christmas ladies!

Alisha - I'm so sorry you are spending your Christmas sick! I like plain sugar cookies with just a bit of sugar on top. None of that iced cookie stuff. Bleh! I like the same song by Brenda Lee, too, but White Christmas is my all-time favorite Christmas song! Favorite Christmas movie is tough White Christmas, Charlie Brown Christmas and the Grinch movie with Jim Carrey. I also love It's a Wonderful Life. I don't really have a favorite holiday treat. I'll eat it all! lol

Get well soon Alisha! I put dress socks and those Ferrerro Rocher candies in Stephen's stocking. Got tired of seeing him come home, take his shoes off and his toes be sticking out of his socks! I also got him a few new XBox games. We didn't have a very big budget this year. He was happy!

Jane - Glad the ankle is getting better. Sorry it's taking so long, but I guess now is as good a time as any with the holiday to take a break! Hope you got off work nice and early yesterday!

I did get my goose! Glad I went on Sunday. The grocery only had 2! Baked my caramel chocolate cheesecake yesterday and the wild rice for the side dish. It's like a salad with roasted squash. It sounded good, so we shall see. Just need to mix the almond dressing and toss it all together. I roasted the squash this morning before mass. We didn't make it to midnight mass last night. We'll go back to that next year. 10 a.m. service was pretty blah and it really blew my morning lazies! lol

Have a wonderful day you two!
 
I'm starting to feel better. I'm going to take a couple more rest days, but I plan to get back to exercise soon.

I bought some pants at costco online, but I think they are a little too big. But, I hesitate to return them just in case the next size down is too tight. Meh.

I'm just so ready to feel better. Enough with the sick already:cool:

I went to Wal Mart yesterday, I had to buy socks too. My toes had holes in them. I mean on the socks, not on my feet:rolleyes: I also got some workout pants and underwear.

Tricia- Sounds like you had a good Christmas. yummmm cheesecake:D

Jane-How was your Christmas?
