Hi everyone! I still have a backache--I guess from all that snow shoveling the other day. I'm also still wondering if I'm still sick...or sick again. Ugh. I swear I'm not a hypochondriac! I just seem to be very susceptible to illness this time of year--maybe it's because of my kids bringing germs home from school or something. I've been like this since childhood, though--rarely anything remotely serious, just little illnesses all winter. Yet it's my favorite time of year otherwise!
Today DH Brian took DS Isaac with him into Manhattan to the office. He first wanted us all to come and I could walk around the area with Ewan, but I decided it was just too cold and I know how busy it is this time of year. It would be one thing to go into the city and walk around together but I wasn't in the mood to sightsee alone, though I have done it before while he worked. I think he was a little unhappy with my decision, but I think it was the right one, because I wanted a relaxing day at home.
Of course, with Brian gone, I can only go jogging if I take Ewan in the jogging stroller, but it's pretty darn cold out there, so I will probably do some step aerobics while Ewan naps this afternoon instead.
Belinda, how did the military ball go last night? Did you show off your buff bod in a nice dress?
Stacey, I love Kimberly Spreen's kickboxing workouts! Do you have her
Absolute Kickboxing DVD? I like the combat intervals with a body bar on that one.
Lori, I hope you have a better day today than the night you had last night! Sometimes family can get in the way of a decent workout, but you are such a trooper; I'm sure one missed workout won't slow you down!
Amelia, right now I'm reading
The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman (the one that is out as a movie now). It's a kid's fantasy like the Harry Potter books. I read a wide variety of stuff--mysteries, historical novels, classics, science fiction, fantasy, etc. My major in college was English with a concentration in Literature, so obviously I love books! I also get books on CD from the library and put them on my iPod. Then I play them sometimes when jogging or walking in town or cleaning house. I may have to check out that
Heart-Shaped Box book--I love scary ghost story books, too!
Cheryl, you're going to have to tell us more about this great diet, though I don't know if I have your discipline!
Hello to Carrie, Cathy, & Kristine!
