Wow, where is everyone?! Thanks for starting us off again bopper!

What a storm we had...are still having. 50 mph winds, I went out this morning and picked up what was left of my recycling and found the bin(large one like a trash can) itself in the street. The rest had blown away. I'm sure the neighbors had a good laugh watching me in my animal print robe out there in the wind and rain. Supposed to be bad until 2 today.

nomless, I thought of you yesterday while doing Bulgarian squats...wondering if you had tried them yet?

Can't believe I still have another week before dh comes home. He's tired, cold, and over it...getting too old for this stuff. Working from 4am until 10pm, and this week will be worse.

I guess I need to get myself moving...I never get an extra hour of sleep with the time change. I'm still up at my usual time and even if I'm not up at what would be my usual time, the animals are...lol.

Going to church and had a couple of lunch invitations after. The Olive Garden one came after I had already accepted another one. Have a great day everyone!!!

Hi Ladies

Happy November. Took some time off to let my knee rest. Ran a 5K last week and did pretty good but was still a bit sore. Will go for a 5 miler today and see what happens. Have a great day.

Oh, gosh, I posted one the old thread yesterday. Bopper, I hope your snow has melted, or will soon. Patty, I've been doing Belgian squats after cardio. Thanks for telling me about them. Sorry DH is roughing it, hope your storm passes soon. SF, it's good to see you again. I hope your knee is good.....have a fun run. I'll do TG today. Did a good cardio w/o yesterday on elliptical, bike and treadmill.

Ok guys, life is good. I got in a 3 mile run today. About a mile and a half in, a little twinge in the knee but finished out the run. No stiffness or soreness yet. Happy girl. I will try and do a 4 mile tomorrow.

Hey all, nice day here and I still have leaves to rake so will head out to do that again and do a trail walk.

Had errands and my eye appointment today. He said my eyes are good but said I have dry eye so gave me drops...

Hoping you all have a great rest of your day!

What a day so far...lol!! TWO hours at the lab!! I noticed they were taking people after me so I finally went up and said something...for some reason, they skipped over me....grrrr! I let a student stick me so she could get some practice...needles don't phase me and I have big, easy veins. She was just there to watch but I told her to 'go for it'.

Then I run into one store to buy a box to mail some stuff in and they didn't have any...drive to another store and their computer systems go down while I'm at the check-out! Seriously??!!!

I got out early this morning to get my work-out in...my butt and hams are still sore from Saturday and I may have pulled a muscle in my upper-body so not doing anything with that for a couple of days. It was beautiful out, not a cloud in the sky.

I have to rake today too bopper....the storm blew a ton of leaves up to our back patio door, can't even walk out there. It was like a vortex where they all accumulated. So where are the headaches coming from? Dry Eyes(I have it, used Restasis) can cause headaches, but not real severe ones. But great you don't need glasses!

Stopped at Marshall's too, didn't buy a thing. Okay...I just remembered a phone call I have to make then I'm heading back out to finish my errands.

Have a great day!!

SFGirl, it's great your knee felt OK yesterday. I hope it's not sore today.

Hi, Bopper, raking leaves...what a perfect autumn day. It's good to know your eyes are OK, but concerning that you get headaches. I hope you stop getting them. You said it happens a lot when you're on the computer...maybe it's the lighting in the room where your computer is????

Patty, you had a crazy morning.....how weird that things were amiss everywhere. That's so weird. I hope the rest of your day goes better.

It's a cloudy day here, a bit of rain. I'll do cardio tonight probably. My cats are funny....the time change really messes them up. Kibble is available to them all day long, but when I get home about 5:20, they get wet food. Yesterday about 4:20, Coco started raising the roof...meowing at me and then trotting toward the kitchen. She knew it was time to eat (cats can tell time to the minute, I swear. I don't know how they do it, but they do), and the time change meant nothing to her, of course. She knows everything is happening an hour late...eating late, I'm getting up late in the morning, etc., and she's pretty annoyed about it. Shadow either hasn't noticed or doesn't care. LOL.

Sad today. I got a call late last night that my cousin died, alone in her home. Unexpected, cause not known. She was 56. I couldn't sleep last night. Feel lousy and very sad.

Nomless, hold on to the memories.

Sending prayers to You and Your Family!

{{{nomless}}}, I'm so sorry, I just got home so didn't see this earlier.

I don't know what to say, unfortunately, grief is a hard thing that can't be taken away by snapping our fingers...very hard hearing that late at night too.

Know you're being lifted up in prayer and in our thoughts. I hope you get some sleep tonight. Very young age which makes it harder to grasp.

Thanks, Vonlam and Patty. Coming out of the blue as it did, it's a real shock.

Re: Welcome to the November Exercise Thread

cater — Wed, 05 Nov 2014 02:04:04 GMT

nomless, I am very sorry to read that your cousin has passed away so suddenly. It is always harder to except death of a loved one when it happens like your cousins. I always tell our family if you think your on your way to heaven I need a few hours notice before you go. They think I am not serious but I am. Sending sincere condolences to you and your family.

Re: Welcome to the November Exercise Thread

nomless — Wed, 05 Nov 2014 02:33:54 GMT

Cater, thank you. Yes, a few hours notice would have been greatly appreciated. I'm sure my cousin feels the same. One more chat, one more hug.....wasn't meant to be. Thank you so much.

Re: Welcome to the November Exercise Thread

bopper — Wed, 05 Nov 2014 21:51:37 GMT

Nomless I am so sorry to hear this....I was out of town for a couple days and just read this. I will pray for you and for this family...life is so hard to understand...Blessings and prayers to you my friend.

I did 3 miles of walking outside today. It's cold but not too bad. Dark though and dreary.

A big hello to everyone, seems not appropriate to chat about anything else now with nomless going through such a sad time so just keeping you in prayer and sending hugs and comfort to you.

Blessings to all!

Re: Welcome to the November Exercise Thread

nomless — Wed, 05 Nov 2014 23:33:11 GMT

Thank you, Bopper. We had a close relationship, and I'm having a very hard time, so your thoughts and prayers are much appreciated.

But, oh, my goodness, of course, conversation should go on as usual. All of us have and will experience loss, and although it stops one's personal world for a while, others do and certainly should go on as usual. So post your posts, friends, about what you're doing and your funny stories (thinking Lucy here....I'm sure she's been up to mischief of some kind) and whatever is on your mind.

I'll see later if I feel like doing my workout tonight....don't know if I want to forge ahead or give myself a break.

I hope everyone is having a good day. Make it count.

Re: Welcome to the November Exercise Thread

Iluvlucy — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 02:32:04 GMT

Nomless, I hope you got some rest last night, I prayed that you would. It sure is hard to focus on much else when you're so sad.

Gone a lot today but tomorrow is the first day this week I haven't had places to be so I'm looking forward to staying put and cleaning this house. I stopped this afternoon and got groceries so that's done with.

My gf is -2* already with over a foot of snow on the ground. So she bought plane tickets to Hawaii for Christmas. Sounds like they're in for a long winter. Cool in the mornings here, I love it, have more energy when I'm hitting the pavement.

So...I'll keep it short and sweet. Do whatever you want tonight nomless, but get some sleep!

Iluvlucy — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 16:59:34 GMT

Where is everyone???

How are you today nomless? FUTURE and Tony where ya at?? Hi cater, vonlam, and bopper...hope everyone is doing well and having a good day.

I've been a cleaning fool this morning, only have a few things left to do after I work-out(terrible smoke in the air this morning so decided to tackle some of my chores first). Will take Lucy out, kennel her up, then go for a run and stop at gym for legs on way home...I guess since it's so late, I could do the TRX class. But I don't want to mess with my upper body yet...did a few light weights this morning, moved some furniture, and vacuumed the stairs so we'll see how that goes. Better stick with legs, I have a lot to do yet anyway.

Going to bake cookies for dh, he's coming home tomorrow instead of Saturday...yay! Exercise went really well, made the front page of the newspaper, lots of happy people. So we'll see how that(me staying out of the cookies) goes...ugh...I don't care for the mint chip ones that much so maybe I'll just stick with those.

Okay...hope everyone is just busy!
