Hi fit babes! Thank you for your kind comments about BB! And no lurking for me, I always post when I visit.
Really busy week and I was so exhausted last night I just sat on the couch and let time go right on by me!
Jody, I was a cat person but DH is a dog person so he let me pick the dog. Glad I did my research 'cause cavs are most like cats! But BB is definitely higher maintenance than a cat would ever be. Hmm, I think I'm a dog person now...hadn't really thought of that until now! I'm sorry about the snake, that would freak me out! I hope DD is catching all of her planes to her destinations! I don't think I could handle her super busy itinerary!
Lisa, I would be exhausted after every bike ride with you!
Being physically tired definitely makes me sleep better. Unfortunately, I'm usually just mentally tired! And that's awesome about your steps! Does that mean your foot and ankle are getting better?
Hi Roxie! I'm sorry you are having the hot flashes and poor sleep, even with HRT! I am on hormone therapy for hot flashes and they are minimal. Have you been on the therapy long? I think Lisa is right about it being harder when you've had a hysterectomy (I have not) because your body has gone through a change instantly rather than over time. Do you think you can try a higher dose, just for a short time? For sleeping, I take over the counter melatonin with valerian root 1 hour before bed. It does the trick for me. If you want to try it, make sure it has the valerian root in it. Otherwise, it won't help you. I hope you find a place you really like to move to!
Mary, that is awesome how DH did! Congrats! How was the concert? Hope you had a great time!
Ronne, I was heartbroken when I read about Manchester, but I am glad you and yours are OK. I will never understand what makes someone think that setting off a bomb is the right thing to do. I try to remember that there are still many loving, supportive, helpful people in this world. They just don't make the front page news. I also get night sweats too with no rhyme or reason for them. Humidity maybe? What is it you do for work?
Hi Murphy! Hope you are having fun somewhere.
I took today off to make it a 4 day weekend. And I got one thing done on my to-do list so far. Good thing it's a pretty short list! Why set myself up for failure?
I got most of my workouts in this week but missed Weds. because I was out of town for work. Monday was Flex Train, Tues. was Cardio Slam again and I got tomato head as before but I didn't need to pause it so much so that was a win. S&S TBGS yesterday 'cause I love that one and today, since I was home, I did IMAX 2. I only have a mini step at work so it was nice to drag out the big one today. IMAX2 has always been really challenging for me so I try to do it once a year to gauge how my cardio capacity is 'cause I ain't getting any younger! It went pretty well despite my tomato head!
I hope you all have a lovely weekend! For the first time in I don't know how long, we are going to be sunny and in the high 80s all weekend. That's almost unheard of here since summer starts here on a consistent basis July 11!
