Who cares - HO HO HO!

Hello!

Mary - did you get your list done?

Roxie - can you do any christmas prep while sat down?!

Decided to tackle a Cathe. Did AOLIH. It was OK, I feel pretty tired now. DD off school but she'll be back tomorrow. Planning to go into town later and do some shopping as it's late-night opening.
 
Good Morning,

It was warm enough here yesterday DH decided to go to the lake he fishec and I sat and enjoyed the sunshine then he suggested a short walk it felt really good to move.

Ronne-I think this weekend I am going to start making chex mix and wrap what presents I have.
 
HI girls! Today did a barre workout. Roxie, congrats on your stroll! It feels so good to moveable! Ronne, so. DD didn't get the flu? Just a miserable cold? I did try to go shopping yesterday, I was trying to get inspired, didn't work! Maybe it's the weather? It's been in the 50's, birds singing, sun shining, I need a little winter! Can't believe I just said that! Well, we have to go to a wake today, friends mom passed, my dad's birthday dinner, and we find out about Harvard tonight, I'm scared! Good day to all! Mary
 
Hi everyone

Roxie - Sounds like a nice day!

Mary - yes, she was lucky, just a 24 hour thing. I know what you mean about the weather. It's not right! It should be colder. We're not having our heating on that much.

Did HR UB premix today. I'm still not completely better, don't feel 100%. Had a very efficient trip to town yesterday. Finally got my Christmas cards, just have to write them now! Also ticked off a couple of presents. Almost there!
 
Good Morning,

I did Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds 1 mile felt good but wanted more.

Ronne-good job with your workout.
 
HE GOT ACCEPTED!!!! Very happy here yesterday, still trying to let it sink in! We combined birthday dinner with Harvard happiness! Today did LIHI legs live, fun. Ronne, I'm going to try the shopping again, it's supposed to be 70's this weekend! Crazy! Glad DD is better! Roxie, fishing? In December? Crazy! Lisa, are you back this weekend? Well, better shower and hit the stores! Good day to all! Mary
 
Good Afternoon,

I walked on the TM at a 2.0 mph pace and it completely wiped me out now I need a nap. Overcast amd rainy here.
 
Hi all

We got our tree yesterday. House is looking very Christmassy now and it's cheered me up. Didn't exercise at all over the weekend. Did LIHI BBS this morning and felt good.

Roxie - well done on the walk. Hope you're getting better.
 
Hi ladies! I'm back home and finally rested. We slept maybe 4 hrs each night so when I got home I slept a whopping 13.5 hrs! My foot/ankle did not hold up and I had to use a scooter for half of the trip. It didn't slow us down and I got over the mortification of being "handicapped" and I have a whole new appreciation for limited mobility and even got over some of the mean stares from some people thinking that I shouldn't be taking advantage of scooter (met others who had same experience). I did walk a little when I needed to, by the flight home, I couldn't walk anymore and had to be wheelchaired out of the airport. I'm now rolling around the house (thank goodness for hard wood floors). I go to dr Tuesday morning, of course that day will be snowy and DH is out of town, DS will be helping his poor old mom out. Disney was CROWDED! Not sure I want to go back. I did see lots of holiday shows and other shows I've never seen. This was more a show focused trip instead of a ride focused one. Neck didn't give me any issues, of course some body part had to. Roxie, take it easy! Rest up, you deserve it! I'm now being very careful of my diet since I can't move. Mary, CONGRATS to DS! That's awesome! Jody, I wish I could do a cleanse and eat as well as you do. Ronne, So all of you are well now? So far no illness from being in Disney. I did see one guy (a Dad), who had obvious pink eye rubbing his eye as we waited for Magic Kingdom to open. How could him and his wife not know he had pink eye? And he kept rubbing and rubbing and rubbing it! We used lots of hand sanitizer that day! I'll report back tomorrow after dr visit. I have same pain starting in my right foot that I had in my left about 4 months ago. Am I crazy mentioning it to dr? I don't want right foot to get as bad as my left. I'm worried I'm overusing my right and causing same problem.

HI girls! Today did a kickboxing workout, yesterday was barre, and Saturday I tried plyoga, it was intervals of plyometrics, then stop right into a yoga pose, actually fun! Lisa, I'm so sorry your ankles bothered you so much and am glad you were still able to have fun! Hope the doctor helps quickly! Roxie, be kind to yourself! Ronne, we got out tree up also. Still need to shop! Maybe I'll do better under pressure? Hello to everyone else! I do need to shop for a dress, DS and us were invited to a Christmas luncheon to welcome him to Harvard. I don't think that my yoga pants will go over well! Mary
 
Hello

Lisa - well, I'm glad you had a good time despite all the difficulties. You poor thing, you're falling apart! Did you have nice weather? Yes, we're all recovered now, thanks.

Mary - plyoga? that sounds a bit weird! Lunch sounds very posh!! Do you have to travel there for the lunch or is it a local thing?

Went to pick my glasses up. Really pleased with both pairs, which is a relief considering how much they cost! Also stopped for lunch and bought a couple of things, quite enjoyed a bit of relaxed shopping.
Did LIHI Legs this morning. It nearly killed me! I had to take three breaks. I'm not sure if it's age, lack of working out or hangover from being ill.

Good Morning,

My new KCMS came in the mail yesterday to bad I can't do them. Today is my first follow up appointment hoping for good news. DD is dialated so it won't be long before the new grandbaby is here.

Ronne-happy to hear everyone is better
 
Good morning! Today did Hiit DWP. Roxie, hope the doctors goes well. You'll have a baby to hold for Christmas! Lisa, let us know what the doctor says! Ronne, I'm sure it was so hard because you were sick! Actually the plyoga was fun, very surprising! The lunch is just local, welcoming them to the school. Still seems surreal! Christmas band concert tonight, hope everyone has a good day! Mary
 
Orthopedic appt complete and still no diagnosis. It appears that a bone chip from 30 yrs ago may be the culprit. Next step is to get a MRI to better see what course of action to take, possible options 1. Immobilization (yuck) 2. Cortisone shot (somehow I doubt that will work) 3. Surgery to remove chip. I don't like any of the options!

Moral of the story : All those injuries from youth come back to bite you in your old age. First the neck from when I was 5, now the bone chip from when I was 20. Thankfully I think that's it for major injuries from my youth.

Ronne, I'm voting for age for your energy just because you said I'm falling apart! Lol, you said what I felt! Seriously I'd say a combo of all 3 things. Roxie, fingers crossed for good news. Do you feel old being a grand again? Mary, I'm going to start calling you the energizer bunny!
 
Good Afternoon,

Doctor says everything is healing well can't go back to work for two more weeks and still no vaccuming or anything that requires me to bend over but I can walk at a mph pace and do light cardio and 3lb wts.
 
MRI scheduled for Thursday, but can't get back into ortho until Dec 29th.
Question : I'm walking around ok since I rested ankle 3 days, should I use it a bit to have it more visible on the MRI that something is wrong?

Roxie, hang in there!

I had to shovel a path in the backyard (we have at least a foot of snow) so Suki could do her business. And I shoveled a single path on the sidewalk so that we don't get fined. Can feel it in the neck now. I hate all these body ailments!
 
Hi all

Roxie - lucky you with the KCMs, it'll be a while before they get to me! Sounds like you're making a really great recovery and you'll be strong enough to hold your new grandchild when it arrives.

Lisa - wow, those old injuries really are coming back to haunt you. I don't think I have any (no accidents, and I was lazy so no sports injuries!), so that gives me hope! Thanks for the vote! ;)

Mary - enjoy the concert. I'm with Lisa - you're the one with the energy around here!

No workout today, did my visit and then spent 2.5 hours in town Christmas shopping. I'm almost as tired as I was yesterday after RWH. But I think I might finally have everything - what a relief. My credit card needs a holiday!
 
Hi girls! Today did a Linds Wooldridge workout, stability ball barre. Ronne, shopping is exhaustingly! Especially when you have to think about others! I always see things I want! Roxie, that is nice that you will have the holidays off! And you'll be feeling better! Lisa, I'm sorry! Cortisone has never worked for me, I guess you'll know more after the MRI. Concert was lovely, they have gotten so much better through the years! Just errands and what not today, good day to all! Mary
