Good morning everyone!I have to tell you guys I talked about you all at lunch yesterday.Nothing bad, I promise!!!I was telling my friend about what a fascinating group of women this is.So do you ever talk about the group and wonder if people think it's your imaginary friends?LOL

Today I'm going to do my LB weights and another run.I'm trying to reach goal on runs this week.I'm sure there is housework I could get into, we'll see.

Phyllis, you are doing so well with your fitness.What an awesome thing to be looking forward to getting on the scales.I know it's something you're working hard at and that it's not just happening with no effort on your part.I'm impressed and inspired by you.Great job!

Good Morning.

For a brief period of time yesterday, ivillage actually caught up with me and gave me the upgrade board options! This morning they are gone again. 24-48 hours to get it done only took 6 days. After I get over being ticked about it, I might sign up again :)

I'm looking forward to today. I'm going to do cardio, biceps, triceps and abs. Then I'll be heading into the office for a bit and then off to lunch with a couple of friends. I'll be back in the office after that. Don't have to cook tonight...dinner at church.

I can see why brawls start at kid's sporting events. It all started last night when my son, the least malicious child you would ever meet, was ejected from his baseball game for "intentionally running down the catcher". There was no intent about it. The kid put his head down and headed for home plate, nothing was stopping him until he saw home plate. He says he didn't even see the catcher. The umpire (a short man with no neck) is known as a short-fused, cocky idiot who announced to our coach that he'll "make an example" out of any kid who hits the catcher. A warning would have sufficed. Our son wasn't hurt and the catcher definitely wasn't hurt. Unfortunately, it is the ump's call in that situation as both have the right to be in the base line and should try to avoid colliding. The ump said my kid had plenty of time to make the decision to slide. He was only half way down the baseline and if he had slid, he would have taken out the catcher and never made it to home plate. Of course DH went ballistic. One of our coach's went even more ballistic, but he's always that way. He was begging the ump to take another step toward him. The man is in his 60's but was ready to take the thug umpire on!

So, my DS was devastated. I kept hushing up my DH before he made an a** out of himself and he wasn't doing himself any good. Then the dad coach's in the field from the other team started berating my husband about how he needs to teach our kid about sportsmanship conduct, etc. I stopped my DH from going over the fence but only because our son was standing there. Geeeeeeez. Thank God our Pastor hadn't shown up yet to watch Shawn pitch! Our coach called last night to confirm that the ump was an idiot, we kicked the other teams butt, even without enough kids to field a geam and to tell my DH he showed great restraint. Of course he really called to talk to our DS, who was feeling better. The other kids on our team refused to take the field as a mini-protest, but I told them on the way out that although we appreciated the gesture, it was better to go out and kick some butt in Shawn's honor. DH and DS were gone several hours after the game...just driving around and chatting and then stopped at DS's favorite pizza place for dinner. I called and told my sister about it. Her DS is an awesome ball player and her DH has been ejected from many a game because of his big mouth, but my nephew has never been ejected. My DS did exactly what he was supposed to do. He quietly walked off the field and never said a word.

Anyway. That was my excitement for the evening.

Another game tonight...I'm not able to go, but I've already talked with DS about it...he's such a good kid. Guess I should speak to his father!

Hugs.

Sassy :)

Good luck, Phyllis, with the presentation, but you don't need good luck as you've got it all goin' on! I know it will go well. When I get to work (where fast connection is), I'll look at your 10 steps. I bet your scales will show a pleasing result since you have been so diligent & since you never seem to post about food (unlike this poster) . . .

Speaking of food, I have to go shopping tonite before chat. I hate grocery shopping! However, I have to get some stuff to stay OP as they say in WW. Today is a rest day. 15 min. project: wish I could say I could look for one as Phyllis is but I've got lots - namely laundry still. Put a dent in last night . . . Also, there's letters to send out for the business.

Have a great day!

Good morning!

Rainy and chilly here - not a good day for walking about. So my cardio workout will be on the treadmill tonight.

15-minute project - don't know yet. Might involve helping the ILs move stuff around at their house.

Busy at work - really need to buckle down and do what I'm paid for, so I'll be scarce around here today.

Have a great one!

Sassy, I feel bad for your ds. Wouldn't it be nice if we could take away all the pains of growing up? Hope he's feeling better today.

Dh had an early call this morning, so I'll have to get everyone dressed and take Adam to school this morning. That means that my workout will have to wait until I get home. Since dd moved back in, the stairmaster lives outside in the carport. So for cardio, I may just walk over to kindergarten to get Adam, if it's not raining too hard. I did get my extension tubing out yesterday and got some decent stretching in. Even had dh using it last night!

My 15 minute project will be to sew some new flannel pj's for the boys. They are all cut out and shouldn't take to long to whip up on the serger.

Have a wonderful day ladies.

Today is body sculpting day. I just wish the class was a little earlier in the evening. 6:45 pm might not seem late to you all, but I get up at 5:00am and that's pushing my limits. I may not go though. Last week I bought one of those big exercise balls to try out at home and I think I might give that a go this evening if I can find enough floor space (competing with big dogs). Anyway, the ball came with this wall chart of exercises and some of them don't look too painful. I inflated the ball the other night and tried just sitting on it. Yes, it was a challenge. I might need a bigger ball even though the box says that the one I got is good for people 5'6" to 5'11". Or maybe it just needs more air in it. Maybe I'm too heavy for it as it was pretty squashed looking. Thank goodness it came with a pump! But I may experiment with that tonight. I'm hoping to get over this stupid infection stuff soon so I can get back to my normal exercise program.

Congrats Phyllis! I would love to be excited about getting on the scales. I really think my doctor's office scales are off...or at least I like mine at home better. Since I have been sick, I've been eating all the wrong stuff. Nothing sounds good, my appetite isn't great so I eat whatever appeals to me and it shows. This week it has been hot ham and pepper jack cheese sandwiches made on a piece flat bread. It's pretty good but I'm eating too much cheese I'm sure. Add a little honey mustard and some ranch dressing to that and it's right tasty...not low carb or low fat but tasty.

Hope your presentation goes well.
