Hey there, all schools were closed again, ice storm.  I'm so sick of this, been shoveling water out of my garage, the snow melted underneath and ran into the garage.  It's above freezing now so I've been chopping ice, hard work.  I did 45 minutes on my reformer rebounding too.

I'm following myself here.   I'll be honest I think our forum is going down the drain.  I've done it for so many years and there just isnt the interest it once had.  It may be time to wind it up.

@bopper just because no one has posted for a couple of days doesn't mean there is a lack of interest.  We also have people on vacation.  It just means people are busy and living life.   All forums ebb and flow, no reason to panic and think there isn't any interest.  Its up to you tho, if you're tired of it, then you're the only one who can decide that.

Today I did a 3-mile, 45 minute Sansone workout.  Was able to do more of it without taking a break than I thought I would so must be getting stronger which is great.

We're finally getting a break from the rain for a few days.  Sunday is even looking to be a bit warmer.  Wahoooo!!!

Good morning everyone. Nice day yesterday in my area and I’m hoping that the worst of winter is passed.

@bopper, I understand your feeling but @JudyL is right, it’s an ebb and flow.  I’ve only been here a little over a year so I don’t know how it was before that.  Hang on.

I’m going to workout from home today.  Don’t know what it will consist of....just something.  One reason I’m not going out is because I’m very low on gas.  While out yesterday, I was going to get some but the gas stations I frequent had went up 30 cents over night.  😠. Tomorrow I have a doctor’s appointment in Indiana and I can get gas much cheaper there and it’s on the route.  Yeah, I can be so cheap sometimes, lol.  But doing little cuts here and there enables me to splurge on a pedicure or some other unnecessary luxury from time to time.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning, raining here, from snow to rain...Foggy too.

The reason I said that about the forum is from way back before ya'all were here!  We used to have 15 or more people post, now I can count on 1 hand how many we have.  It wasn't mentioned because of the last few days or even week.   It used to be alive and lots of activity with like I said 15 people, and now we can't seem to get others in.  I know people lurk but don't say anything.   I understand vacation and stuff and like I said it wasn't mentioned because of any of that.  I just wish we had a fuller group responding here.  Trying to think of ways to get folks to chime in.  

I am babysitting today, so I most likely won't get in a workout.  I got in a good one yesterday with my rebounding on my reformer though.

Better get ready for my girl!   Have a great day!

Good morning, everybody.  Boy, did we have some wind and rain yesterday!  The wind blew our deck table almost to the stairs.  We’ve had so much strong wind this year that I wouldn’t be surprised that we will find some damage to our roof and/or gutters this spring.  Then you have to decide whether to use your insurance or pay out of pocket.

I did 22 times up and down my 13 steps yesterday.  Not all at once (cause the rise on our steps is about 9 inches versus the 5 inches at my fitness center) but groups of about four or five trips at a time.  The rise of our steps is one of the reasons I’d like to move because when my feet or knees are bothering me, I can hardly use those stairs.

This morning, I have an appointment for knee injections.  Strangely, the injection in the left knee hardly hurts but that right knee, wow!  He sprays first with stuff that’s supposed to make it less painful but it doesn’t work on that knee.  This will be my fifth time getting the injections in five years and so far they do help.  Takes three to four weeks to notice a difference, though.

Needless to say, I won’t be doing any working out today, lol.  Thinking about seriously doing Atkins next week....seriously this time.  We’ll see.  I’m writing it down to make it more likely to happen.

Have a great safe day everyone.

Good morning!  Yea, it's Friday!  Nothng much planned for my weekend other than the usual grocery shopping, errands, housework, and I'm going to fit in a workout in there somewhere.

Didn't do anything this morning.  I must have twisted a bit too much the other day so my lower side and lower back were not happy with me yesterday and last night so today I decided no workout.   

Its a beautiful sunny day here by the Bay.  Rain will return next week but for now I am enjoying the sun.

Have a good day everyone!

Happy Friday, it's blustery and snowing here, super super icey.....Parking lots are pretty dangerous.

I did my reformer today, 40 minutes rebounding and 30 toning and stretching, just what I needed.

Judy sorry about your back, I can do that just leaning over.

Foxxie hope the knee is better, and I don't know much about Adkins.   Good Luck, sounds like you have been pretty busy!

Kind of feel like going somewhere for fish tonight but don't think hubby will, he's been gone since 6 this morning and won't get home until 6 so most likely will just want to relax at home here.   Can't say I blame him either.

Have a good rest of your day everyone!

Good morning, everybody.  Looks like everyone is having a setback with their weather, huh.  It was cold and rainy/flurry  here yesterday but luckily no real snow.  Temperature went back to the thirties.  No big problem.

Well I got through my knee injections and yes, they were painful 😣.  I was calling on Jesus during each one until he pulled the needles out.  He explained to me that I wait too long between appointments.  I go once a year and it should be every six months.  He said that the purpose of the Synvisc One injection is to provide a cushion in the knee for ease of movement and protection of bones rubbing together.  By the time I come back, I have allowed my protection to almost erode andcould be making myself more of a candidate for knee replacement.  Sooo, I guess I’d better put my big girl pants on in September and keep that six month appointment.  But it hurts😢  (whining voice).  Oh, well, thems the breaks.  

No exercising for 48 hours from my injection so maybe I’ll do a little at home Sunday.  Right now my knees are swollen and I wouldn’t want to be in any public place where someone would be wondering why they looked more strange than usual.

Everybody enjoy this great day!

Happy Saturday!  Well its been a day on the phone and computer doing all sorts of stuff and no workout.  LOL  Its a beautiful day here by the Bay.  Lots of sun and blue skies.

Maybe tomorrow I'll actually get something done around here and a workout thrown in.

@Mmsfoxxie hope your knees feel better soon.  Those shots sound miserable.

Unbelievable!  It’s snowing like it’s January outside!  @bopper, did you send this my way?  😂.  I can’t shovel today even if I wanted to but I’d think that since it’s supposed to be in the forties tomorrow, it’s not necessary.  I must admit that the trees look so picturesque.  But please melt, darn it.

@JudyL , thank you for the kind thoughts.  Swelling is going down some, thank goodness and the pain is less.  (There’s only pain with certain movements, not continuous).   This is sooo much better than a knee replacement is what I have to keep reminding myself.

I’m gonna have one more lazy day and back to business with health, exercise and weight loss.  If my knee is still delicate, I’ll just modify more than usual.  Something is better than nothing.   Move it, move it, move it is my motto.
