This week has been pretty good. The weather cooled and I had to wear a jacket on Tuesday and Wednesday to walk to work. It's been much better sleeping weather too. I feel that way about learning new information. There is only so much you can remember and retain and feel good about. The...

I've had a good week. I started a book called Outlive by Dr. Peter Attia. His goal is to prevent the start of the four horsemen of disease: metabolic syndrome, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and alzheimer's. I'm only 10 percent in and some of the material is already known, but I like his...

What great workouts you got in this week! I'm glad you're foot is healed. I like upper and lower splits because you can really do chest and back and get a lot of the arm muscles involved so you don't really need as many bi's and tri's exercises. I did a unilateral leg workout yesterday and am...

How was your week? I got an extra cardio workout in on Wednesday before cards which was good. I'm back to upper and lower splits for weights-at least that was the last week. I end up doing whatever I feel like anyway. It threw me off a bit working last Saturday. I've been having a lot of...

This has been a weird week for me. I had to work Saturday from 7-1, so was given flex time from 3-5 the 3 days I work. I was able to get in an upper and a lower body on two of the days. But then Saturday only walked-worked until all the patient's were seen and got home around 2:30 and was...

Glad you got some down time from work last week and got some great workouts in. I think for stress exercise is so beneficial. Glad the pellets are working out. Do you get your period on them? I've been doing my regular stuff. DS2 is updating his Linked in page, so we're helping him edit...

Book club went well! My house was presentable and everyone liked the book. Next month is Neil Gaiman's book, The Ocean at the End of the Lane. I haven't started it yet because my BIL sent me a book about Egyptian myths which I'm now skimming in an attempt to finish. There is very little plot...

It's a cleaning weekend for me. Saturday I did the living room. Today is dining room and Monday will be kitchen and foyer. I'm having book club here on Tuesday night. Nothing seems to motivate me to dust as much as having people over! Sounds like you're back in a good spot physically to get...

It hasn't taken long to get back into the home life groove. Happy Birthday to Dave! I did see my dad and and mom last Saturday for a short visit. He's spending a lot of time at doctor's offices now. Otherwise they are fine. I've been focusing on 2 lower body, 1 upper body, and 1 total body...

Yes! I'm hoping he does decide to move to Colorado. He wants to move somewhere he can get some decent fishing in. He tried deep sea and caught nothing. He also wants to start putting money into a house instead of renting. He had a lot of questions for Dan and I about how long we dated before...

We got back late Wednesday and had a great time seeing Aaron and meeting Shivani. We did a lot of firsts-had fresh mussels, went to a comedy club show, took a ferry ride in the bay, and enjoyed a fire pit. Aaron is talking about moving to Colorado so he can buy a house-time will tell...

I ended up getting more of the sides layered. I really don't like to pull my hair up or put it up very much. I hate it getting into my eyes when it's windy out. I am slowly getting shorter and shorter and more of a mussed up look with the layers. I don't have bangs right now-it took so long...

How is your week? How did your appointment go on Monday? Any relief yet? I saw the lower body workout from STS 2.0 and it looked really good. I might have to break down and order some dvds in the future. Going to get my hair trimmed today. I'm wearing it shoulder length these days instead...

OMG-I can't believe what the hail did to your house! That is awful. I'm glad insurance will cover it. I wish I had a bird nest close by! My BIL has one right outside his dining room window and I've been watching the mama lay on the eggs when we're over there. This weekend was good. I got...

How are you feeling? Setbacks are so frustrating. Have you found any stretches that can help? Mother's Day was fine. I chatted with DS2 and even walked up to see my mom for a few minutes. It's just not the same relationship anymore. Otherwise, everything in my life is going pretty good! I...

Hi! I'm sorry to hear about your hip. For me, it was a sacroiliac joint issue. My leg was "jammed" into my pelvis (from stepping? from potholes on bike rides?) Gradually the pain got worse and worse. It ached a lot and I even had pain when putting my foot on the gas pedal and found driving...

Hi! Sorry to be MIA for so long. Speaking of haircuts I went to a long asymmetrical bob. So I kept the length in front and made it shoulder length all the way around. I really like it. I can work out without having to put my hair up and it dries so much faster! I think I want the back a...

All is good here. Getting to walk to work all three days has been nice. I've just been picking workouts based on what I feel like doing. Getting in weight work 4 times a week. I kind of like doing an upper body on Saturday, legs Sunday, and a shorter upper body on Mondays (with focus on back...

I've been doing spring cleaning and getting the back porch ready for the warmer weather! DH is scraping, priming, and painting the bottom half of one side of our house. We got dirt and mulch and are hoping to get some little plants soon to start the herb garden and I decided to do a container...

Not much working out for me this past week. I hurt my back last week doing something and took some time off! We're going to get the back porch ready today-hose it off, put the rug out, etc. Also going to try my hand at an herb garden (again). I'm looking forward to being outside more and...
