STS first time!

Today's temps are 20 degrees lower than yesterday. Showery and dark. Cold air too.

Anyone have ideas for a veggie (green) dish for Thanksgiving? Other than the standard green bean casserole, I mean?:D

So cold here as well yesterday it was 67 and today it was only 45. Yuck!

Do you like Brussels sprouts? I saw a recipe from the food network for roasted Brussels sprouts. I can share if you are interested (just need to find it).
 
Thanks for the offer, Colleen, but while I love brussels sprouts, DH does not. It tastes so good roasted! Another dimension of flavor.
 
Good Evening friends!! Today my check out receptionist called in sick...she has the bad cold, with fever. Nasty stuff!!! I would rather her stay home than infect the entire office.

We were so busy today, never even had a chance to walk in my office. It was crazy!!!

Tim made some homemade chicken noodle soup. We had it for dinner tonight with a grilled cheese sandwich. Delish!!!

I also just finished Cathe---Tracel Fit---I always forget about it but it is a killer workout with the bands!!!

Carolyn---I am glad to here you are doing much better. Enjoy the therapy...sounds like you are recovering quickly!

Jean---Isn't the elliptical nice. I just love mine! I am a cardio freak!! Just love it!

Okay...off to shower!

Chat later.

Hello to everyone else!!!:eek:
 
Jean---Yes shopping for the mothers is hard....I am struggling! All I have is one gift so far for Tim's mom...a 2012 painted ponies carousel ornament. Need a few more gifts... I am going to hallmark tomorrow to look around. Wish me luck!:eek:
 
Good Morning! Up bright and early. Did 50 minutes on the elliptical. And yes I have so good DOMS in my arms today. You know I am loving that!!!!!

At work....just wanted to check in!

Be back later! :)
 
Just finished CF. Wow, that was fun! Didn't find it that hard today and time flew; AB seems harder. Though my knees will be hurting, I'm sure.

Jean, I watched Friends with Kids last night. It had some SNL comediennes and the Mad Men guy and his wife. Funny & somewhat romantic.

Sunny, breezy, & cold today, but at least there's sun.
 
Hi Ladies!

Still not feeling 100%. I think I am starting to fight a cold. Either that or it's allergies, but it doens't feel like allergies. I did not workout this AM, but I did sneak into the gym at work (which I haven't done is probably a year and a half). I ran 20 minutes on the TM and did 10 minutes on the elipptical. It felt good but now I'm tired. :confused:

Oh well, off to get some work done. I will catch up later.
 
Hi ladies,

Carolyn, I was channeling you because I was at TJM too. Only found a pair of Nike lifting gloves, on clearance for $4, which I really don't need, since I already have a pair. Couldn't resist though since the new ones are stretchy and flexible (and with a pink piping), while my old pair is, well, old.
How are you getting around? I'm guessing you're driving with your left foot.

Jean, everyone reacts differently to movies, so I'd be interested in what you think of Persuasion. I didn't finish watching it the other day, and I'm craving it.
Incidentally, did you ever finish the Sophie Kinsella book?
Put the oven on self-clean:D. Just kidding. I don't find that it works, plus the high temps scare me.
Safe drive to your sis'.
I agree about dreading Jan & Feb. By 3:00 nowadays, it feels dark already.:confused:

Oh no, Colleen, a cold!:confused: To me, it'd be the end of the world. You ever try Airborne, with C, zinc, herbs, etc? My b-i-l swears by it. I like the homeopathic ingredients.
Keep up with the workouts though. They help.

Sure is chilly today.

One thing I returned I swear I had since before I had kids!

I go back to the dr on December 3rd! I called there on Monday and left a message on his assistants machine. Everything I have read, says that with microfracture surgery, it is imperative to stay off your feet for 6 weeks at the minimum! They let me go home without crutches!!!!!!!!! Is this a mistake by a nurse?? who knows!!! I asked when they took the stitches out. The nurse looked at my chart and said, "it says weight bearing". Yes it says that! But is that right?!!!! She says typically you are on crutches. but every peson is different she says. I want to hear it from the dr himself. I can't believe that NO ONE returned my call!!!!!!

The pt guy says that the new way of thinking is that there is more blood flow to the cartilage when bearing weight. He too is surprised that I went home without crutches though. That first day was IMPOSSIBLE to be in an upright position, forget puttign my foot to the floor with weight!!
It is all said and done. Ihave been on my feet for a week. So the damage is done!! I can't wait to hear what the dr says when I tell him I still have the same pain as I did before surgery!!!:eek:

Have a nice weekend with your sister!

Good evening!

Colleen- sorry you are not feeling well. The cold is horrible down here. Hope you feel bettet soon.

I just finished my cardio for tonight. Muscles very sore!

Carolyn-good for you, out shopping. How is the pain?

Jean- i hope your thanksgiving goes well.

Hello to everyone. I am on my phone because tim is updating laptop and desktop. So i had to say hello!

Chat in the morning!
 
Good morning,

Quick check in this am. Still fighting something . I felt like working out but wanted something low key so I did travel fit. Nice workout.

I will be back later to catch up more It's been a crazy week...
 
Hello All.

It is very brisk out today. I am going to belk at lunch to find me a new jacket. I do not have one that is small enough for me. So I have been freezing for days. So today I will fix that!!!

Carolyn---Sounds like your PT is very good. Sometimes, we refer patient to therapy prior to referring to specialist. At least you are up and around using those muscles again.

Colleen---isn't travel fit a nice workout though, I always forget about it. But I did it the other day and ...OMG....I forgot how bad ass those bads are!!! Hope you start to feel better soon.

Check back later! :)

BTW...scale went down another .6!!!! Yeah! I will take any loss!!! hehehe
 
Our thread has been a bit slow lately, eh?

The sun finally came out after noon. It is quite cold, at 40 degrees. Was feeling blah until it came out.

Carolyn, I'm so pleasantly surprised that TJM let you return EVERYTHING! I save all my receipts and return items with receipts, and still I could get an attitude every so often! I think NH retailers are nicer! We are the mean neighbor to the south, not to mention Taxachusetts!:D
I totally get what you're going through with your leg. I'd be asking the same questions! Has anyone at doc's office called you back??
Learning from your experience, if I ever need PT, I'd get a female.:D

Jean, have a nice visit with sis and mom.

Colleen, glad it's not a very bad cold. Nice going keeping up with the exercise.

Missy, another .6! Amazing! High five! congrats on being able to buy a smaller-sized new coat!
 
Good Afternoon. I know that my cold temps are not very cold for you girls...but I am freezing today. I wore this cute sweeter to work with a camisole under it. It has the trendy style with the holes in the sweater. And let me just say...what were the stylist thinking????? the air goes right thru the dang thing!!! The sun has never come out....it is very dreary out!!

Yes, I just bought a new jacket at lunch today. So warm. I also, bought me a new lunch bag. They were 50% off...I just couldn't pass it up. My lunch bag is so old....needed a new one! Just a little present for me!!! I also got MIL 2 tervis tumblers...one says MOM and the other is a COKE design. She is a freak about Coke. So it is perfect. they were 40% off too. the total bill was $89...not bad for all that!!!

On hallmark channell....all christmas movies till christmas!!! YEAH!!! I am thee biggest christmas nut!!! I went through and have them to record so I can watch them on the weekends... Have you seen The Christmas Card...so beautiful!!! Watch it if you can....

Anybody doing black friday?????
 
Carolyn, I've seen Prana at REI. Big bucks is right! What a deal!:D
I don't suppose you found another of the shirt you returned today?

Made cookie batter earlier, chilled it, took it out to wait for DS (he had homework then haircut), now it's too RUNNY! Hopefully another chilling will work:confused:.

Missy, I can't get warm today either!
 
I feel like I have been in a fog. Just really tired and my head is full. I am actually soaking in the tub as I write this. Which is a very rare occasion for me.

This has just been a really crazy week for me. Hoping next week will be better.

Missy, nice scores on your stuff today. I never have an probably never will do Black Friday. I can't do the crowds.

Carolyn, that is amazing that they took back everything! How awesome. Now you have some credit to do more shopping! How cool. I am so glad that PT is going well for you. I still have my prescription for PT but have not started. I don't know if I will. My knee has been so much better the last few week, except the running did not agree with it yesterday. I have been really trying to take the time to stretch and have a mix between hight and low impact. That seems to be working right now.

Betty, what kind if cookies did you make! It was chilly today. I am always cold.

Jean, are you all ready to go to your sisters? Are you staying for thanksgiving?

Hi Marie.

Off to read Shape. Pink is on the cover. She has some killer abs!!

Good evening....just a quick hello. Went to grocery store on way home from work. And omg....o thonk everyone was there. It was a mad house.

Tomorrow when tim and get home from work we are going to big city to sams, hobby lobby & we will eat at steak an shske! Yum yum! That way we can do things outside this weekend. It takes s little timr to get use to no daylite during weekdays after we get home from work.

Off to bed!
 
OMG!!! That is too cute! I may just have to pop into the TJ in valdosta tonight. They never have anything good, but it is always a possibilty!

I too am a bath tub soaker, I think it helps with the muscle soreness from our awesome workouts. I too remember when I was a little girl... I use to chat with my mom while she was trying to have her time!!! hehehe In my adult world....my little boy (Boots) is always with me at bath time. He sits on the bathtub and plays in the water. If I make it in without him, my husband always has to come open the door for him...because he will sit at the door and scream!!! Yes, he is a momma's boy! Big time!!!! He is attached at the hip I think!!! But I love it!!!

This morning I busted out my cardio, no workout tonight because we are going to the big city...I will have to hit it hard tomorrow.

Carolyn---I hope you have a nice day shopping with mom.

Colleen---I hope you are feeling better!!!

Hello Betty, Jean, Marie, and BEcky!!!

:)
 
Feeling a little better. I woke up with a belly ache. Went potty and then decided I workout. At that point it was 6:30 and my son heard me get up. So that was the end of that.

My hubby comes home this afternoon and I can't wait. It has been such a long week. I am working from home again today so after j got the kids off I did HC 101 January. What a killer workout in only 30 minutes. Of course the might be because I am so tired. I decided to go in and get her 101 and hardcore DVDs.

I got a call about an hour ago that my daughter failed her eye test. I was able to get her an eye appt on Tuesday. I feel so bad. I know that she gets that from me. I was in the 7th grade, so it really concerns me since she is only in the 2nd grade.

Bbl.
