Good morning everyone. Donna, great workout for you and especially considering you battled a headache all day!! Hope you're feeing better today.


"Sometimes you can be so passionate about achieving a goal that you forget the best way to get there,which is setting small, incremental goals leading to the ultimate goal."


I read that in an article on women and exercise. This woman had a horse who was getting over a very serious illness. She spoke of the frustration they both felt as they worked to get the horse back

Guess what.........I aint going into work early. I mean I really ment too but.......well stuff happens. I was up at 6:00 and the first one in the shower........oh well. Sun is out but it is breezy. I believe our temps should be mid 60's which is nice. Work is till 3:0;0 and I have WW tonight. I blew it off last Tuesday and although I start Wednesdays off on a good note I seem to throw it away by Saturday. I did manaage a walk twice this week so thats good, for me at least, lol. Just finished my scrambled eggs and canadian bacon and the washer is on. Everyone is out of the house and I have already dried my hair and ironed my clothes. Going to bounce upstairs, make my bed and get dressed and throw some makeup on. That rounds out my morning. As I said in my roll call post I need to recommit yet again and really stay strong. If I could just gets a few good weeks and get some walking done I think I would be on a positive road to future sucess. Well let me run and get finished here. Maybe I can be ontime!


Have a wonderful day ladies!

Good Morning,

Beautiful sunny day here on LI and it's supposed to be up near 80 today. Of course, I'll never really know that except when I go out for lunch and after 5 since I'll be spending the rest of the day in the meat locker called work.

Up early for Day 2 of my new DVD. I can't say that I'm overly fond the cardio portion of this DVD. The cardio is actually only 12 minutes and the whole segment 21 minutes and when you're coordination challenged as I am I wasn't quite sure that I accomplished much. Not that any of the moves are that difficult it's just when my arms are supposed to be going one way and the feet another and then she goes back to the first thing I've already forgotten what I was supposed to do! It's only the first time I've done so maybe after a few more times I'll convince my feet and arms to do what they're supposed to do. I did jump on the treadmill after that for 15 minutes. I didn't think the toning session did much until this morning. There are definitely unused arm, back and shoulder muscles that haven't been used until yesterday!

There wasn't any Sunshine in the office yesterday. We'll see if the Sunshine appears today. We'll just say the boss wasn't happy!

Still trying to play catch up from the weekend. I finally sorted through the mail last night-so much junk mail! Little by little wading through the mountain of laundry. After walking Otto I'm trying to get myself to do 15 to 30 minutes of cleanup before collapsing in the comfy chair. It's really tough some days!

Nancy-love the positive energy in your post!

Donna-your walk sounded nice. Sure do wish I could get DH to come walking with me. Thinking good thoughts for your DH!

Rhonda-how's your dad? Sorry to hear that he had another fall.

Thinking of you all this morning and hope everyone is doing well. I need to skedaddle and finish getting ready for work. Hope everyone has terrific Tuesday!

Susan

Afternoon Everyone,


Patty...you asked how my workout went yesterday...well, the end of the day just went to He** here at the office not allowing me to leave as early as I'd planned.

Hi, all! Sorry about those cookies yesterday, Patty. Sometimes it is hard to figure out how they just jump right into our mouths. Hope they are gone for now so you aren't tempted anymore.

The worst thing I found is "dieting" with DH. I don't get how or why men lose weight so much faster, but it just isn't fair. Just have to accept we as women have less muscle and hormones do a number on us. Have to go at our own pace.

Have a very busy day today. I am scheduled for a colonoscopy June 14th and I am trying to get all the clearance and pretesting appointments taken care of. The problem is that I am going away from Thurs to Tues before the procedure and now I am finding out they want to do the testing within the week before the procedure. (I did promise granddaughters I would be there in NC for their dance recital and I don't want to put off colonoscopy any longer.) The insurance company said I can have it done sooner and it may come under a different code but it can be done. (I hope so!)

I taught a step class this morning, went grocery shopping, now cooking and getting ready to teach 2 classes this evening. Sure wish my eating was as good as my exercising.

Didn't get a chance to catch up here so I am going to start from scratch for now and hopefully catch up another time.

JazzerDeb...that sure was some workout yesterday! Walking lunges are a challenge and so glad to see that you are seeing improvements every week. WTG!!

CL-Deb...sorry to hear about your back. I do hope it keeps improving. Glad to hear you were able to bounce up the steps this morning. I am sure the work waited for you even though you did not get in earlier. Good luck at WW tonight!

Donna...sorry about your headache and good for you for still getting a workout in. Wow...you even did your hair. I may have to try light golden brown since the medium is not doing it for me lately. It comes out very dark and then fades. I am wondering if it will cover the gray.

Susan...you gave me a chuckle with your experience with the cardio portion of the DVD. I am the same way...when they say "from the beginning" I always forget what the beginning was and I am not movement challenged. There is some truth to the saying that instructors are the worst when it comes to following other instructors. Hope work isn't too horrible for you.

Nancy...I should take your message to heart and really get into journaling my food and exercise. It does make a difference and I just can't seem to get a handle on it. It is great to look back and see the good days. I know WW will work...I just have to follow it faithfully, but life keeps getting in the way and I am weak!! Wish my metabolism was better so that all this exercise would be enough. Good luck at your weigh in and enjoy your walk if the weather stays nice

Margie...Happy Belated Birthday! Your birthday sounded wonderful from start to finish. Sounds like you got to spend it with some of your favorite people too! WTG with the Cheesecake Factory. (Haven't been to one yet and I hope I can be as sensible as you when I do go to the one that is less than 2 miles away.)

Rhonda....let us know how your Dad is doing. Congrats on your sons graduation. Congrats to all! (I loved the announcement...such class!)

I better go for a bit. I do have to get some flowers in the ground that I bought and are wilting very quickly.

Have a good one all...

Grace

Keep on keeping on!

Grace, believe it or not, it felt better to have my head sort of upside down while I was rinsing the color out.
