Hey, thought I'd start the thread this week (so that i can find it easily on my phone while in mountains). No w/o, woke up late, gotta get on the road, 4 hr drive to Aspen. The title is appropriate for most of us here in the US.....Ronne, do you all change any of your clock time?
 
Good Morning,

I am going to my nephew's 11th birthday party to day get to tell more people about the baby and then I need to do a stretch. It is rainy here today so don't know if DH can work on the house.

Lisa-have fun skiiing.
 
Hi girls! Rest day today, yesterday did AB. Lisa, have fun! Be safe driving! Roxie, enjoy your party. We have b-ball banquet today. Weather is perfect here, spring is on its way. Hi to Ronne, Murphy and Jody. Back to work this week, well, it was nice while it lasted! Mary
 
Hi ladies

Lisa - have fun skiing - jealous!! :p

Mary - well, I'm sure you're ready to re-enter the fray again after a rest!!

Roxie - how nice being able to share your good news.

Had a practical weekend - getting lots of jobs done. Finished off the fence and did various things around the house. Did a quick workout on Sat (KCM Body Training premix) and took a rest day yesterday. Did Cardio Strength today (Michelle Dozois). Not going to be able to get many workouts in this week as I'm 'out of the office' a lot.
 
Hi girls! Today did Jari, R&C. Lisa inspired me! Too many bicep curls tho! Roxie, was everyone excited? Ronne, sometimes we need those weekends! Lisa, are you hitting the slopes? Murphy, are you feeling any better! Jody, you back at school? Raining here, dreary. Have a good day! Mary
 
Hi girls just popping in to say hello. Stopped at the outlet stores on the drive up yesterday.....spent wa y too much money. I bought some t shirts at the Nike store, good thing I did, it's warm up here
and shining sun. Worn out today from skiing in snowmass resort. Great skiing!!¡! Here's a pic out DS and me around for a bite and the only rest we had.

Good Evening,

I had a busy day at work so I wasn't able to check in until now. I couldn't get up early this morning didn't sleep well so tonite I did KW Level 2 Cardio Week 2 and then 35 mins on the TM.

Ronne-it was alot of fun telling everyone.

Mary-DHs mother was thrilled and my mom and sister were excited.
 
Hi ladies

Lisa - that looks so lovely!! Wish I was there! Have fun.

Mary - I don't have any Jari anymore. The one I did have I gave to a friend on a long-term loan. I'm thinking of having a bit of a DVD clearout actually. I think there are a few I could get rid of and wouldn't miss.

Hi Roxie, Jody and Murphy if you're lurking!

No workout today as I'm off to a meeting.
 
Good Morning,

Its going to be in the 80's today so I am going to go for a walk in the park after work and then go home and do KW Fast Burn #1.

Ronne-I need to go through mine too.
 
Hi everyone! Today did the TM, 45 min., did intervals. Another day from heaven here, unbelievable! Roxie, 80? How beautiful! Ronne, I need to purge my DVDs also. Not too many of my friends work out tho. I could make up a LIS of what I don't use or like and mail them to one of you? Lisa, how is the skiing? Looks like you all are having fun together. Hi to Jody and Murphy, have to get to my homework! Mary
 
Dr called...I have nodetectable estrogen. She will be calling me back to discuss more since I was on top of the mountain when she called. Here's todays skiing pic. This is what happens when you catch an edge going at a good speed and end up doing a straddle backwards. Since I 'm not flexible I tried to stop using my inner knee.

Lisa, ouch! Does that mean you have no estrogen? Will hormones help? Sorry with the questions! Put some ice on, relax, have some wine!
 
Mary, I do not mind the questions. I will fill you all in on the details when she calls me back. Her message said that the no detectable estrogen is why I have been having the symptoms I have had and hormones would help. Vit d was fine. Bone scan --dexa scan was good but my forearm measurement was a little low. Hips and spine good. Maybe that is because of the weight bearing exercise? I will ask her about that. Will fill you all in after I talk to her we all have to learn from each other!!!! I am most glad that there is something causing the things that have been going on. I have felt like a crazy person at times! Thinking I'm strong and should be able to push through. I have slept good on this trip but it is because I have been taking rx sleeping pills. Did not want to chance a bad night and they are getting more frequent.

So I have no estrogen, but the FSh is fine. She says that means my ovaries are not producing estrogen but I am not in menopause because the FSh is fine. Recommends estrogen and progesterone because giving estrogen alone is when the breast cancer risk goes up. So, like a low dose birth control pill, but there is no placebo week. Not sure why my ovaries quit producing estrogen. That is so weird, in my late 30's early 40's I had too much estrogen because my period was so heavy(that is why I did the endometrial ablation). Not to worry about bone density of left forearm, but she was surprised I curl 20 lbs. she will give me some rx for sleep but the estrogen/progesterone should help. We are trying to keep the dose low enough to not produce a period. Guess we will see how things go over the next couple of months

The estrogen is estradiol and the progesterone is norethindrone. Not sure the brand name or dose until I pick it up.

Good Evemomg.

Tonite I went for a walk in the park did 2 miles its so gorgeous out.

Lisa-glad to hear they found out what is bothering you and that knee looks like and ouch. Thanks for the info.
 
I forgot to tell you guys that dd received her t-shirt and a tank top from Kelly Coffey Keyed I thought it was very sweet of her.
 
Hi all! Hugs all around. Roxie ur dd is pg I'm guessing? Lisa skiing sounds fun except the owie. I'm keeping up with workouts. Great week last week on break and getting by this week at least. I'm having trouble with computer. Get. Grr autocorrect . Take care
 
Hi everyone

Jody - hope your computer gets sorted out soon.

Lisa - well, it sounds like you're getting somewhere now. It must be good to know that it's not all in your head!!

Roxie - that's so brilliant!

Mary - I was thinking of selling a few on eBay. I did that a couple of years ago and got a few pounds.

Did Travel Fit today. Just what I needed. Quiet work day today but I'm off to London tomorrow and Friday, all day both days. I probably won't get to check in as I'm in a recording studio (not exciting I promise you - it's speech).
 
Awe, I was imagining ronne breaking out into a song. ;-)

Snowmobiling today then heading home. Ready for my own bed!
