Hi everyone! Sparrow here...I've not been around in ages but when I accidentally clicked on the old bookmark the page loaded and I had a PM from Debbie, letting my know that there was a post about me, and my old Cathe friends were wondering where I had gone. So I decided to pop back on and say "hi!" I had sign-on complications though so just changed my user name.

Anyway, I think it's been a year or more? I had to drop off all my messages boards, they were beginning to take over my life, lol! I found myself getting too caught up in the goings-on, so I made the choice to stop using boards. But I miss you guys! I miss having people to talk fitness, life and books with. :)

Hugs to the old gang, and hi to those I have not yet met! :)

Hi Sparrow--

I wondered where you were. Glad to have you back, because I always enjoyed your posts.

Maggie:)
 
SPARROW!!!

Welcome back! There's been more than one thread lamenting your absence, my friend ;) . I do understand about forums taking over your life and I don't post quite as much as I used to (I say this even though I reached my 10,000 post milestone today :p ).

So what have you been up to? Are you still fit as a fiddle and working out? Have you jumped on the STS bandwagon?

My gosh, it's so good to "see" you again! :)
 
SPARROW!! How wonderful to "see" you! I hope all is well with you. We sure do miss you. Pop by more often if you get a chance!
 
Welcome back Sparrow.

Hi Ladies!

And thanks for the welcomes :) I do plan to be on more often :)

Michele, to answer your question I am still working out a lot. I recently bought the P90x Plus series though I haven't done it yet, still in the middle of another rotation. Funny though, although I am still doing as much working out physically, mentally I am not as intense about it. I don't feel that massive pressure I used to, which is a blessing and then some. I think it might be a function of getting older and mellowing out in general.

How about you? Still hate cardio? Congrats on 10,000 posts!! :D

What a joy to log on and find Sparrow is back. You have been missed, my friend. Don't worry, we'll smack you up side the head if we feel you are spending too much time here. Right gang?

I'm glad to hear it -- we need your voice in the mix around here!

I was this close to ordering P90X when Cathe announced STS so I decided to hold off on it. Is P90X+ a stand alone workout or is it supposed to be used in conjunction with the X?

It sounds like you've struck the proverbial balance!

Oh yes, as much as ever, although Coach Sean of Cardio Coach fame has made the task much more tolerable. One thing I've learned over the past year is that I don't have to kill myself with cardio workouts that I don't like and can't do, and I'm no longer sheepish about tipping my hat to Leslie Sansone and the likes. She makes me sweat AND I can complete the whole workout without injury :7

Again, it's so great to see you here again. I've really missed your spunky self! :*

Yay! One day on and already I am being threatened with physical violence! I guess that means I am still family! :D Good to see you Robin!

It's so great to see all you guys here, and I can't wait to meet new folks as well. So everyone tell me, what have you all been up to? How are families and fitness and pets and work?

Here's what I've been up to, in no particular order:

home improvements
sustainable living (cooking, gardening, chicken coop...)
my new kitty, Comet
editing a conservation/forestry newsletter
working out (natch)
writing
driving DH insane }(

Sparrow
 
knee surgery
working out
grandson (unexpected and unfortunately with brain damage)
reading
birdwatching

Sparrow, I'm curious about your forestry newsletter. DH and I met at a Penn State branch campus where forestry was king. DH was a 2 yr forestry major, though he's out of the business now. My sister and her DH are both in forestry, as is one of our best friends.

Robin, I think I remember about your grandson, I think he had just been born when I dropped out? I think he was undergoing tests, and I am sorry to hear that it was not good news. Small comfort, but I have a brain-damaged cousin (at birth) and she has been such a joy to my family. <hugs>

As for the forestry newsletter, it's the newsletter for an organization that helps private forest landowners. The organization helps them with maintaining the land, practicing sustainable forestry if they choose, protecting wildlife habitats, that sort of thing. DH has always been passionate about forests - he almost went into forestry - and hooked up with this organization as a volunteer. My DH would be sooooo jealous of your DH!! :)

How's the knee??

Just wanted to say hello.
