*~*~Top-Notch Tuesday~*~*

Tomorrow is the end of June - including today, that's two days left to finish off June on a positive note! If you started off the week on the upswing, are you going to continue? If you didn't get done yesterday what you wanted to, are you going to put your best foot forward and give it a top-notch effort?

I started off the week accomplishing a few things, and hope to accomplish a few more things today, like finishing laundry and doing the vacuumming. I'm a bit behind on my Bible study, so that's on the slate today. Workout, well, I didn't get up to run this morning, so I'll either do that tonight (yeah, right - it'll be too hot), or I'll do a good bit of the Cardio routine and add extra UB work. I want to finish off June better than I started.

  • Grace, hope you're turning the corner on the mulligrubs.
  • Rhonda, continue to rest - and hope you mend from your brochitis/asthma in short order.
  • Donna, how's that thumb?
  • Deb (dmm), we'd love to hear an update on your job situation.

Go out and make today happen!

Good Morning,

It is a beautiful morning here after a bit of rain last night. Otto was on a night time prowl again last night-sort of like having an infant in the house again-except he doesn't cry just whines!

Nothing much on the agenda today. I have a prework load of laundry whirring away in the dryer and need to pack up some snacks and finish getting ready for work. 2 more days this week! I'm supposed to be tutoring this evening so not sure what type of workout or if I'll get one in.

Hope it is a Top Notch Tuesday for all of you!

Susan

Good morning --

Well, today's gonna happen with or without me, so I've decided to participate!

Thumb's bumming, hurting and turning all those lovely bruise shades (the deep blue is particularly attractive for summer), but it seems not to be as swollen. Could be an illusion. I found a sturdier support for it, wore it last night, and have it on today. My fingers are free, but the thumb is stationary. I can still work, though. You really don't realize how valuable an opposable thumb is until you can't use it properly. Enough kvetching; time for an Advil and to get on with it.

Took a part-powerwalk/part-amble with a coworker at lunch yesterday. It looked like storms were brewing last evening, so DH decided a walk might not be a good idea. I, of course, agreed. And it didn't storm after all. We'll hit the pavement this evening.

Have a good one!

Donna

"Go out and make today happen", I like that!It is a beautiful day here.I think I'm heading to my treadmill for a quick run and will meet my sister at the track for a walk later.Today is wonderful day when nothing is pressing to get done so I can't help but think there may be some hammock time at some point.

I have had a wonderful June.The weather has been so much better than last June and it has made such a difference.My workouts have really improved and been much more consistent.

I can't believe June is almost over!I've read posts where you guys talk about summer flying by after the 4th and my sister was just saying that this morning.I need to make the most of it while it's here!

Congratulations on your co-CL spot on the Jazzercise & Dance Board and becoming a regular in Yoga class. You must be doing something right!


When we had breakfast meetings at work it was always donuts or bagels or things like that. I guess with the current carb-consciousness, they've switched to more protein offerings.


I'm happy to hear you sound so good.

Hope your technicolor thumb moves into the green and yellow stage quickly. Maybe the sturdier support will help, but it does take time.

Just got bumped off line and lost my whole post! Maddening!


I'm up and about this morning, moving slowly, but moving. I was coughing more last night, but I think it's things moving up and out. Sure hope so. I started my steroids this morning, so if my posts turn really grumpy let me know. I found out the quickest way to feel short of breath is to bend over to pick something up. Happens every time.


I'm going to have a quiet lunch at Panera with a friend. Shouldn't be too taxing. ;-) She ordered 3 super mini magnets I need to get to her, and she has a check for me. It will feel good to get out. I've been in bed most of the time except to fix dinner, do some dishes, and put some clothes in the wash. With the guys gone (Tim at work), there's no one to wait on me.


Just got a call from Rob at the beach that they're coming to get supplies for 6 more days and could I please have enough boxers clean for him?? Yes, sir! LOL! Actually, I'm glad he's getting to make the most of his vacation, especially with me pretty much out of commission. I'll be canceling his dental appt. and his guitar lesson for this week.


Mom called and said Dad is going to have a test for a blocked artery in his kidney. They think that's why his blood pressure has been fluctuating so wildly and been so hard to control. It's imperative that he has it done ASAP. He'll have a dr. appt. Thurs. and go in the hosp. at 7 AM Friday.


Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Rhonda

Morning, everyone! Hope you have sunshine as we sure don't! I'm taking a rest day, NOT! Woke up at 5:30 a.m. to get some major cardiocleaning in - house is spic and span, now.

Plans are to work, work & squeeze lunch, Bible study, and dinner in somehow. So weary from dealing with my bank & electric company for someone's major error in debiting my account twice for the electric payment one month & now the error is haunting me again. May have to switch banks. Lovely!

DS' All Star team still hanging in there, so I guess they will play again Wed. night which I'm happy to be off then. I will be so glad when baseball season is over. My ex husband is going in for back surgery soon, so times will be very tough for me for a couple of months (no child support while he is laid up). I will have to pinch pennies, but I've done it before & I can do it again.

Have a great day, everyone! Wish you all a wonderful day of good eating and good workouts.

I hear you on these meetings, Booty!! My office has them constantly! I've had to go out to buy Starbucks reduced fat coffee cake (which is SOOOO scrumptious, btw) so I won't be tempted by yummy cake donuts that remind me of Dunkin's!

Congratulations on being co-CL of the Jazzercise board! Have fun over there!

Great job on the eating and workouts!
