We made it to Friday and I hope it was a good week for everyone. If it wasn't...what could change to make it a great weekend and a better week to look forward to?
Its still an oven here but I've been really good about getting in my workouts in every day. We got one of those Free standing swamp cooler type things that you can move from room to room and its made a huge difference. I can just roll it in front of the treadmill and keep going. Also, put it in the bedroom at night and I sleep great...love it! BTW..has anyone noticed that their heart rate is much higher in the heat? Most of my workouts have been more like a very slow jog and power walk so I can stay in the "slow burn" zone.
OK...what's on the agenda today for workouts?
***UB and 45 minutes cardio
What is your project at home or work that you absolutely are going to get done today?
***Newsletter
Any big plans for the weekend?
***Not really but I do want to see the movie "Sea Biscuit"
Have a fabulous Friday!

========Daily Inspirational Word===========
Philippians 4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me--put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

It's Friday, it's payday and it's my last day of work before starting a week of vacation-I'm really looking forward to leaving the workday grind behind for a week. Not sure what we're going to be doing but at least I won't be at work! Will have to clean up a lot of little things to ensure there are no phone calls!
Went to bed early last night and slept late this morning so there was no workout this morning. It was such a beautiful morning for a walk but maybe will attempt an evening walk or maybe just a stroll with Otto.
Have a good day everyone!

Cough uncontrollably every 10 minutes then deal with post nasal drip. Rinse and repeat.
This cold is unbearable. I have no voice left. The lozenges have left my tongue numb but I can somehow still taste. Very strange since I can't smell anything. My head aches and I WANT TO GO HOME!!!
We got up to 105 yesterday. Unbelievably hot. I think I was in the Slow Burn zone just walking the dogs.
Going to see my son tomorrow afternoon. Other than that, nothing exciting.
Have a great day and weekend everyone!

Ok, today the need to do list is long and on it are cardio and weights.My body is in real need of toning.I'm working hard at my diet. The thought that comes to me every day, more than once, is that I have to make long term stick with it changes.I'm taking it one day at a time because the long term thought is slightly overwhelming!!
I'm glad you mentioned the heartrate and heat.I tried to run the other day when it was hot and humid and really felt it.
No plans for the weekend, the usual CL work.Suppose to be beautiful so will have to plan time to relax and enjoy the weather.
Have a great day!

My project for today is to do alot of baking. I need to get some done for our vacation in a week and also to mail to my middle ds out in NY for his birthday.
My weekend plans are actually to go to Heritagefest on Saturday night and then to the parade on Sunday. My brothers and sister will be coming up on Sunday so we can all watch the parade with mom and dad. Should be fun.
Phyllis theres a cool breeze coming at us from the east. Hopefully it will hit your area soon. Temps here today have really cooled down. Feels great!
VERY busy weekend ahead. No beach time, I'm afraid. -- not only visiting with the 6 relatives who are already here, but my sister from MD arrives tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow I'll be cooking and have the BIG wellness preview I've been planning for a month at my younger sister's house. If this goes well it would make my week (month!)fabulous!!
Sunday is a large family reunion I've been helping plan for months. Dad has 6 living brothers and sisters with kids, grandkids, and some great grandkids, so have no idea how many will actually be there. No wonder Tim left for CA!! ;-) We haven't done this in almost 5 years. We have a photographer lined up for it.
Have a great day everybody!

Not sure if I'll work out or do some yard work - with all the rain we've had this spring and so far this summer, our bushes are going nuts. So are the weeds in the natural areas. I might go ahead and do the cardio tape which gets me some weight work, plus abs. I've added 10# weights as my "heavy" dumbbells, and when stepping, I can feel it up through the glutes!
15 minute project, vacuum out the Sprout again for good measure. Broken glass seems to lurk. Weekend plans, continuing yard work.

Workout tonight - the works. Didn't work out Thursday evening - see next.
Project that must get done - did it Thursday after we got home from dinner (menu below) - the mail and the bills. Feeling overwhelmed by the mail - too much stuff, almost like Christmas time with the catalogues. It all lands in a pile, I get to it when I feel like I can organize, and find a bill that should have been paid a week ago. Same bill, late 2 months in a row. I smell a big fat interest rate increase coming my way.
Weekend plans: Saturday - yard work before the rain comes; Sunday - visiting the kids. Boy, did I miss them while they were on vacation! My niece lost her first tooth the day before they came back - the permanent tooth pushed it out of the way. Although my nephew hates the telephone as much as I do, he's becoming more of a conversationalist, doing more of his own talking instead of letting his sister carry the ball.
Dinner Thursday night: DH worked through lunch and was starving by the time he got into town, and wasn't enthusiastic about Tex-Mex. So we went to a steakhouse nearby - definitely not Outback! We shared a crab cake appetizer (apparently I'm not sensitive to crab, so crustaceans are back on my ok-to-eat list, but shellfish aren't yet), we each had a gigantic salad with creamy garlic dressing (on the side), and shared mashed potatoes flavored with celery root and horseradish, and asparagus with REAL hollandaise. He had a ribeye and I had a petite fillet. Both so tender you could have cut them with the side of a spoon. We also shared dessert - key lime pie. Yummy!
Back to salad, dry tuna, and raw veggies today - got them in my bag.
Have a great day, everyone!
