Monday Afternoon Check-ins...
14

Did you get your planned workout in? Are you drinking enough water? Are you eating healthy? We want details!

I actually got my cardio in before heading to DS's first appointment at 9:00.

Flo is a real witch this month. She sent out her recon team about 10 days ago and she isn't even due to arrive until the last day of the month! I've had hot flashes, heart palps, lower back pain that is just about to send me over the wall. I spent the entire last week crying about everything. This week I'm just darn fed up with it all. I'm heading to the dungeon to toss in a load of laundry and hit the weight machine. Still babying my shoulder. It MUST be a pinched nerve it's hanging around so long and stinging up into my neck, too. Will hold off on abs and shoulder work until tomorrow, but pinched nerve or no...I'm doing shoulders and abs tomorrow.

I ranted and raved at my Maker this morning during my power walk to the lake and back. I want answers and solutions and my health to improve! I want my life to run more smoothly. I want specifics! Some things I feel better about, some things he's letting me stew over ;)

Later, gators.

Sassy

((((((Sassy))))))

Sorry AF's advance team has been making you feel miserable. After reading your posts about your busy weekend and your harried week before and knowing how much you're physically hurting, they're just what you needed to have drop in. Just sending you lots of hugs. Wish I could send you one more weekend day - just for yourself, no kid things to do, no hubby things to do, no obligations to anyone or anything - with a latte, a good book, a cozy chair, and a lock on the door!

As for my own Monday check-in - nothing to post, I'm still at work and I'm not happy about it (but happier about it when I think of the alternative), and I ate a decent lunch. Mezza-mezza on the water, and I sincerely hope I will get a workout in tonight when I get home.

Hope you feel better, Sassy!

Hey, sweets! I'll put in a word for you with our Maker, too! Maybe you should go seek medical advice on that neck! I hope you feel better soon. AF is just a big bully!

I've been ranting and asking why to Him, too, lately. Specifics, solutions and good health - good requests, I agree.

Lots of hugs,

Kat

Hey, you two - Don't forget the message of several PDL lessons: that He works according to His schedule, not yours. And that old saw - People make plans, and God laughs.

I'm guessing right about now He's having a good chuckle at all of our very human rantings and ravings and demands for immediate answers and solutions.....

I got my workout in - hit lowerbody work (squats, plie's, lunges, etc) so hard i was barely able to stand afterwards.... Alex suggested I might want to go just a little bit easier on it.

Endorphins are my friend.

Good dinner (pasta with artichoke sauce), plenty of water. Off to bed now for me...

Buona Notte ladies.

Sassy, sorry Flo is treating you badly.She came to my house early and will probably be staying around since I fed her cake today.I had to, really I did!!!!

I came home from the drs kind of bummed.Stitches couldn't come out today after all.Finger hasn't healed enough.I came home and made myself eat a salad. I opened up a bag of mixed veggies to put on it.Then I headed out to see a friend. Usually this friend is great about keping me from eating junk.But today she had cake she wanted to get rid of so she sent some home to me.So I come home and think something smells weird.I go to the frig to find it and it was the veggies I had at lunch!!!!Gross, the date on the bag was March 4th!!!!I figured the only cure for rotten veggies was fresh cake so I ate a piece for medicinal purposes ONLY!!!!!I'm still not sure about all this healthy eating stuff.I've never been poisoned by out of date chips!

Then because Flo is making me bloated and somewhat less than charming I decided to hit the treadmill for a good workout.I put in 5 miles of running and walking.I feel so much better now.

So today is sunny and beautiful. Tomorrow is suppose to be rainy, snowy and icy. Flo and I have already put everyone on notice that we might be a touch moody.

Yes, Flo and her minnions are evil this month. She made me purchase liverwurst and chips at the grocery store today. There's a hidden hostess cupcake in the freezer that has a note attached to it that reads...touch it and die. Yes, it belongs to moi.

We, too, are having salad for dinner (but avoiding any bagged veggies!), with roasted chicken and chopped eggs.

And, I'm sure one of us will be having a hostess cupcake!

Princess Patty, I'm so sorry your finger hasn't healed enough yet! I hope it isn't hurting too badly. WHY does AF have to pick on you, too, when you are enduring another malady??? She just doesn't have a heart. Veggies with an outdated expiration - thought that only happened in my house! You're so good to get that 5 miles in!

Hugs,

Kat

Evenin'Ladies,

Sassy, sorry to hear that Flo is being so mean and nasty to you. Bigs hugs, and hope you're feeling better soon.

Things have been pretty good in this neck of the woods. I listened to the alarm this morning and got in my workout, eating has been good and the water bottles have been emptied. I'm trying out an experiment with the family this evening from my new Light N Tasty cooking magazine...turkey noodle tacos...actually my oldest picked the menu out. She thought the picture looked good...hope it tastes as good!

Waiting for dinner to come out of the oven, a load of wet laundry into the dryer and Otto will anxiously be awaiting for my fork to be put down so we can do our after dinner walk.

Hope you have a good evening!

Susan
