Happy Tuesday!

@Laura14 I actually want to go to your gym so I can see all the freaks!  Good luck tomorrow.....you'll nail it!

The last state boards I took was in ...oh lawdy.....98.  @Mmsfoxxie right up your alley - IL in social work....haha!

@JudyL The hard part is over and you made it!  How is your vision?

@bopper Yay.....you got on the trail again!  Merrill is really good.  I don't stick to a brand, just whatever feels right on my feet.  I have a friend that won't wear anything else but those.  I'm gonna be due for another pair soon...

@DrKelli you would not want me in your class......I'm a dancing mess!

Did 32 min run on the trail.....no rain yet!

Good afternooon!  I went for a short walk today - about 15 minutes just around my area of the complex.  Its a beautiful day by the Bay and I wanted to get out and get some sunshine and fresh air.  Well, it wore me out.  Took a nap shortly after I got home.  Will do it again tomorrow.  Need to get my body used to moving again before returning to work on Monday.

@MickD  my vision does seem to be better but I have a lot of floaters - which is normal - so it can be distracting to see those things flying around in my vision.  The floaters will go away over time.

The one thing that is bothering me tho is the dizziness.  When I wake up in the morning or from a nap, whoa, am I dizzy!  It does go away but I have to be very careful, esp. in the morning.  It didn't start until Sunday morning - the morning after my first night sleeping in my bed again. Has to be something to do with lying down for long periods of time again.  Because during the 11 days post-op, I only would like down about 2 hours at a time, otherwise I was sitting up.  Anyway, I'm hoping it goes away soon.

Hope everyone had a good day!

Good morning everybody.  Yesterday was such a beautiful day!!  If only I could copy it and duplicate it whenever I wanted to, lol.

@JudyL, so glad you're up and about.  I hope you discussed the dizziness with your doctor and that this is just part of your healing process.  But I can't stand being dizzy because nausea goes with it for me.  Since you know it's going to habit, maybe you can take Dramamine before going to sleep for a week or so.  This is what I have to do before a colonoscopy (night before) because anesthesia makes me nauseous when I'm coming out of it.

Those floaters are a nuisance and sometimes funny.  I remember once a new one appeared out of nowhere and I didn't realize what I saw one morning was a floater.  (They pop up at will).  I thought it was a bug like a gnat.  I'm in the bathroom washing my face and I kept stopping trying to swat it.  It me a minute to realize it was a new floater.  Luckily, as you said, they go away.  I laughed at myself.

This is run around day and I'm debating a pedicure.  If I get a pedicure, I might not get polish because I'm seeing the podiatrist next week and they like to see your toes...coloring.  And polishing is one of the things I like for them o do.  Such stuff decisions, right, lol.

Have a great day everyone!

Just stopped in to wish @Laura14 good luck on her test today!  Lots of positive vibes going up to the Universe for a terrific outcome.

@JudyL, I'm happy to see that your recovery is going well. I hope the dizziness resolves itself soon.  There is nothing worse than vertigo.

I have restorative yoga today, which I am looking forward to since I am sore from Monday and Tuesday's workout.

Super busy today and I started a new class with Phoenix.  I have 16 students this time.  Not as bad as 21, but it is still a big class

Waving to everyone!  Have a great day!

I am a preliminarily certified drug dealer.  Happy Dance will be my exercise of the day!

Thank you all for all of your well wishes!

Hey everyone, yesterday 80 and today 40.haha  but I don't mind the 40, 80 is too hot and we certainly aren't used to it.  I had trouble sleeping as I was too hot!

Laura a huge Congratulations, we knew you could do it!  Celebrate girlfriend!!!

Judy so happy to see you are out and about, that's awesome...the dizziness will most likely go away in time but take it real easy, you don't need to fall.

DrKelli 16 is still a good sized glass, enjoy your restorative yoga.

I took today off basically, grocery shopped this morning and I did take Logan out for a bit.  I had to put on my big rainboots and attempted the trail, the water is so wide and deep it was way up on my boots but I made it and the woods are full of snow and lots of ice and tons of water, it was like walking in a swamp.  Logan got around the puddles but with downed trees I can't maneuver like he can.

MickD so you can see it's not pleasant on the trail, I think I'd give it a couple weeks yet for the snow and ice to go but the water, yee gads it's deep and wide!!

Foxxie I hope you get your pedicure, would love one.  Only had 2 in my entire life!  

Made a beef stew today, it's in the lower 40's and damp and a good day for stew, house smells good too.

Enjoy your day everyone!

@Laura14 - YEA!!!  Good for you!  I had no doubt whatsoever that you would pass!  So happy for you!  Now on to your next adventure.  Treat yourself to something special today!

[JudyL]

@bopper  yummm stew!  What time is dinner?  LOL

Went for a walk again today.  Little bit longer than yesterday.  Felt good to get outside and in the sunshine.  May try again later this afternoon if I feel up to it.  

Hope everyone is having a good day - I know @Laura14 sure is!

[Laura14]

I am so glad you are up and about @JudyL.  And the buying has begun!  I actually just used a B&N coupon to buy a book I actually have time to read now. I am so excited!  I just don't know what I'm going to do with myself now that I have free time again.  

Hope everyone is having that great day. 

Tune in tomorrow morning for the Nudie and Stalker Adonis gym update.  Will Nudie be covered up?  Will Stalker Adonis stay in his own space without stripping for me or anyone else?  

Same thread.  Same poster bringing it to you for the probably last  disco Power routine for a while.  I may wear polyester with glitter in my hair just to be in tribute.

Congratulations, @Laura14.  Not surprised at all.  Free time?  Are you saying you quit your other job!  If so, great.  One less stressor.
