Got my booty out of the house and to the lab to have blood drawn today. Does that count as exercise?
Working on laundry today. That always gives my back and arms quite a work-out.
Otherwise, I'm trying to lay low today. Weekends always wear me out, because that's when hubby can take me to run errands.
Hope everyone else is doing well this week! Posts: 340 | From Lymeland | Registered: Sep 2011

AIW...yes...getting to the lab counts as moving the booty.
Drove Rosie out to the un developed area in the forest to let her run. I drove. Not strong enough to do the 10 min loop this am.
She was a bit low on energy this am too and wanted to get back in the car sooner than norm.
Able to empty the DW and put dirty dishes in sink to soak.
Laying low today too.

Hi guys - it is a bit chilly out today!
Going into the office 3 times this week - tomorrow, Wed, and Fri for a few hours each day. Should be good to interact with my co-workers! I have to do some training for some employees so that is why I am going in..
I saw 3 dogs in front of my apt building today, tied up to the fence. They must have been waiting for the dog walker to finish dropping off one of the dogs in my building. There was a chocolate lab howling and jumping in sadness/worry.. I felt bad for them. They looked helpless just tied up. I wanted ot set them free - of course - that would not be cool..
So I checked in the floor of the unit where I know the dog was being dropped off or picked up and sure enough he was taking his time socializing w the owner there. I was like, there are dogs out front whining/crying.
I plan on doing some Wii exercises later today.. then I gotta pick out what I am going to wear tomorrow to the office. Working from home is nice but you end up wearing sweats all the time.. most days I dont even change out of PJs.. so pathetic!
Anyway it will be a challenge to find work clothes that fit. Everythign has been getting too big on me.

That's great, AK!! YAHOOO!!! Hope your sister is doing well now.
Hips?? oh no! Hard to get around then!!
No exercise for me yesterday .. but I went to the cardiologist, the chiro for spinal decompression and then to the movie "Courageous." It was really really good! I recommend it to everyone, esp if you are a parent or will one day be one!!

Got all our laundry done yesterday. Good thing, because today has turned cool and foggy, so pain is up. Me and the pup will be hanging out inside today, laying low.
I tried to convince the pup to go for a short walk outside, but she looked at me like I was crazy. It's not THAT cold outside! What a sissy she is. Maybe I can get her out the door for a walk around the block in a little bit.
Other than that, just trying to rework my budget and stressing/obsessing about making the right decision for insurance open enrollment.
aklnwlf - Yay for internet from home! Glad to hear your sister is coming home. Hope they got that infection at the IV site all cleared out.
Lymetoo - Busy day for you yesterday! Hope cardio had good things to say! What is the movie, ``Courageous,'' about?
lpkayak - Sounds like your last couple days have been full and busy! Sorry to hear your ankles were hurting so bad after doing two days in a row! Guess our bodies do like it better with breaks in between!

---Movie Trailer for "Courageous" ... It's really about being a dad.. or parent.. but I'm neither and I loved the movie! It has action, plenty of humor and heart wrenching moments too.

Yep... made me cry. But it really was a great movie and made us laugh hard too!!

Did the 10 min loop this evening. Not sure it was wise but did it anyway.
Noticed someone had moved Paul's white cross to the other side of the national park boundary lines.
Paul was the guy who was staying in his camper while a friend was building a home at the National Park Boundry Line.
he just up and died still holding the cell phone in his hand. he had just called a friend to let them know he was going to be at the divorce support group mtg.
When, he didn't show they came looking for him.

Not sure how long I was on my feet this am. Guessing it was 5 min, rest on a very cold rock and then 5 min back.
Went to another area this am. I was reminded why I stopped going to that area. Too difficult of a walk.
I need flat ground to walk on or stronger legs and vibram souls.
Still not doing well enought o read how you all are doing. Hopefully later.

- Kayak.. I'm OK! My cardio appointment went well. Dr says I can eat something salty next time my BP drops. She said maybe I am one who doesn't get enough salt in diet. Probably true since I don't eat processed foods.
Will also get a metabolic panel done Monday to check the potassium level. It dropped pretty quickly after supplementation in the hospital last month.
AK.. sorry to hear that your hips are painful! Not good!!
penguin.. PM me if your face is on one of Paul's photos.
Kam.. sorry to hear about the white cross being moved.
