Good morning everyone.I was reading over some of yesterday posts. Some I wanted to reply to and didn't get to and for that I apologize.Anyway, I noticed how some posts mentioned personal problems, family illness, the passing of family members, etc. It struck me how this board is about so much more than fitness.In today's fast paced world it is a wonderful thing to have a place, and friends, that you can come to with whatever is on your mind.The reality of life is that it is not always easy and sometimes no one can do anything to really help.But to have the knowledge that there is someone who listens and cares is a truly wonderful thing.Women , I think, especially fel the need to be strong for their family and to take care of everyone else.How wonderful to have a place to come and let down your guard and vent when you need to.Quite honestly this board, my running and a big bag of chips have kept me out of therapy :)
So what's on your mind today?Anyone have any thankfuls they want to post?Or is today a day when the thankfuls are hard to come up with?Taking some time to workout?Are your June goals on track?I had to go back the other day and see what my June goals were!!!
I hope you each have a wonderful day and are each blessed by the friendship we share here.

We had a camp out last night.Well actually what we all did was just collapse in different places in the living room.Ds has a terrible cold, Dh is getting it and I'm just exhausted at the thought of 2 sick men in one house!
It's suppose to be a beautiful day here today.In between CL I'll work in the yard.It rained yesterday and I actually did housework!Hopefully I'll get a burst of energy and head to the track later.I have to do some errands uptown.Somehow we've managed to loss the temp taker(you don't seriously think I'm going to try to spell that one today, do ya??)and the guys want to know exactly how sick they are.
Have a fantastic Thursady!!!!!

I didn't sleep well last night. Woke up early and my mine was already plowing ahead. Got up to run, but it was humid, I'm a bit sore from my Body Sculpt yesterday, courting a "tired" headache, and really not enthusiastic or energetic at all. Still, ran 2.8 miles, walked for about 1-2/10ths. Bible Study this morning, Al's gymnastics this afternoon. I want to clean up a bit of clutter in the house, as a friend is coming over in the morning to visit. ...I think I'm not going to make any other plans and turn the day over to God, which I try to do anyway, but I especially need His Daily Bread today.
It's hard to be thankful when grouchy and tired... but I am thankful for friends, the rising of a new day, the rain we've had, and that I can complain to and lean on Him when the day starts off wrong! I'm thankful for life, too, for it is a precious gift.

Thanks for your Thursday thoughts Patty. They are so true.
It's a lovely morning and it's so nice to look look out at my little flower garden this morning that is starting to flower again. My little patch of dirt and my pots of flowers just really look beautiful. I just loved having the back door open and being able to see it and hear the songs of all the different birds.
Nothing much on the agenda today. Again not sure whether there will be a workout. DS will be landing sometime early this evening and we will need to have both the truck and the car at the airport to pick up him and his friend, 2 mountain bikes in cases 2 sets of golf clubs and luggage. I'm also noticing swollen ankle syndrome once again and I now am convinced that it has something to do with the type of exercise I've been doing. No workout yesterday and swollen ankle syndrome is much better. Maybe it's time for some thought into a different type of workout and (gulp) a trip to the orthopedist which my DD has been hounding me about.
Patty-my deepest sympathy to you with not just one but two sick males under the same roof-gives me shivers up my spine. You definitely need some hammock time! That whole cold thing must be going around because DD has a nasty one too-just in time for the end of school both in front of the desk and behind the desk.
Hope those of you who aren't or haven't been feeling well hope you're feeling better soon.
Lori-thinking a lot about you.
Hugs to all of you wonderful ladies!
Hope the day treats you well.

Good morning Patty and everyone!

Like Patti said this place is so much more then fitness. I really do enjoy reading what everyone else does, feels, and wants. I just wish I could get some motivation and loose some weight. But at least I have not quit.
After the interview its home for some house cleaning and then Katie should be home around noon. Tomorrow is her last day of school. I told her she could have a friend over and they could swim. The water must be freezing. I will try for my WATP video when I get back.

Good mornin' all.

Hmmm noticed we had Old Faithful going out front again (sprinkler broken).
Patty, thanks for your warm and thoughtful start this morning.
I'm thankful for Fisherman's Friend cough drops and that I'm able to stay in bed as much as I have. I thought the cold was doing better, but last night it seemed to get worse in my chest, and I started coughing more. I've been slathered up with Vicks Vaporub again and loaded with various medicines and vitamins.
Thankful for all the women on this board and the friendships we've developed -- knowing we can count on each other.
After all the rain, if I weren't sick I'd be out mowing today, but that's not going to happen. It's sunny and hot again, but I think it will also rain again. We're in that Florida summer weather pattern. I'd really like to go walk on the beach and breathe the ocean air, but I'm not sure I even have the energy to do that.

Patty, I look forward to your posts, but your Thursday thoughts in particular. They are so uplifting and kind - and absolutely right on. Thanks!
Another beautiful day here. Really thankful the weather gods have given us this stretch of warm, breezy summer days rather than plunging us into the depths of smog, mugginess, and misery as soon as the calendar turned to June 21.
I begged off my walk with DH last night and he was eager to agree. I ate some of those dumb dark chocolate nonpareils. Actually, I ate too many and started with the shakes as we got closer to home. I had something light to eat and drank a bit of H20 and felt better, but too late to go out and battle the 'skeeters.
No workout tonight, either. Having dinner al fresco with a friend. We're going to a place that is loud and fun, but has a nice quiet patio out back where you can sit, talk, and eat without being rushed.
I'll work out hard on Friday. I have no excuses - it's a vacation day for me.
Have a good day, everyone!
