Hey all, what a wash out day here. Rain and in the 40's. Oh well.

I did rest my neck,,,it's just one of those things that will take a few days to feel normal again. I'll workout tomorrow but be careful

Pppmint sorry your allergies are so bad...even Logan is bothered...hope you feel better soon.

nomless I hear ya on the roots...me too, every 4 weeks. Awesome you planned your meals ahead..that is the way to do it!

Almost dark already...don't like this change...

The leaves are turning here and that part I love...frost or freeze tonight they said as the skies clear.

Hoping everyone has a good week ahead.

Hey guys,

I just wrote and everything disappeared. Happy, happy. Let's try again.

I did 45 minutes of Gilad yesterday just so I could justify jumping back in here with you. Had been enjoying his body sculpt, but need a tad more cardio for me. Like I don't have enough of his dvd's to accomplish that, to answer my own observation. I picked up the Tony Little gazelle a few months back and have been pretty good about hopping on that. It may seem silly, but does deliver increased range of motion. Shaved a half hour off my mowing time. As I have a big yard, I'm tickled about that. Have not managed to incorporate the barre routines as of yet. Yeah me.

Thanks for the shout out to come back in and say hi bopper. Real life doesn't provide me the opportunity to share my love for exercise with anyone too much.

Patty ~ whoa! Life has been throwing it's share of curves at you. Way to handle those with the grace and determination that you have shown. Your son and DIL are lucky to have you in their lives.

Nomless, FUTURE, inspirational balancing exercise into busy lives. So important. When I slack off in that vein I pay for it. Last Tuesday I was an absolute witch with no good explanation other than my hormones were taking me for a ride. Easy solution is exercise.

Take care all!

Canine!!! So happy to see you! Thank-you for your kind words, means a lot. I hope you're around to stay, missed you.

nomless...you feeling better?? FUTURE...I think you gave me your allergies.

bopper....I think I had a dream about the bear...lol. I can't quite remember...I saw a photo someone posted on fb of a bear sitting on their picnic table in their backyard!

I had a terrible night! I've been up since 2...these cats were psychotic(plucking carpet, throwing up hairballs, chasing and peeling all over the house, etc)!!! First I drank a glass of OJ at 10:15 which I'll never do again, got up at 2 to use restroom and then went about 4 times after that. But my eyes were burning and watering so bad, I couldn't sleep. Also have the draining from these allergies so was trying to get rid of that...I know, TMI! I came downstairs at 2:30 and never went back to bed.

Anyway, I've made the best of it...got a lot done. Vacuumed, dusted, paperwork, boxes ready to be returned, walked Lucy 2 miles, jogged to gym and worked out, laundry, etc. Want to get it all done in case it all catches up with me and I hit the wall.

I need to shower and go to post office, credit union, and get some groceries. Then tonight, it's relaxation time.

[nomless]

Patty, thanks for asking...yes, I'm feeling much better. I have to take the meds 3 more days, but they did the trick quickly. Thank goodness! I'm sorry you couldn't sleep and that your home was chaotic during the night. My goodness, you accomplished a lot. Get some rest, girl!

Canine, it's good to see you. Please don't be a stranger.

Hi, Bopper, I hope your neck feels better today.

Hey, Future, have a good day at work. I hope your weekend was fun.

And, Tony, we usually hear from you on weekends. A big wave to you.

Honny, for lunch I'm eating ground turkey that I seasoned with Penzey's Ital. sausage seasoning. It's a nice change. I'm happy with the Penzey's seasoning I got; thanks for inspiring me to go check it out.

Tonight I'll do cardio. Ugh. Patty, I'm so envious that you enjoy activity so much. You do it because you love it. Me? I pretty much hate it and that makes it so difficult to stay disciplined and get it done. I've done so successfully for years, and I'm very proud of that, but I have to push myself to stay in the routine. I do get tired of the struggle. You're so lucky that you actually look forward to it.

[bopper]

Hey all my post disappeared too.......what's with that?

Today I did the treadmill for an hour while watching TV...sometimes I just don't want to have to focus.

Canine so glad you came back! Glad you are liking the TL gazelle.

Pppmint I am still taking in my feeders at night so the bear won't pay my yard another visit. Getting tired of doing it though.

nomless glad you are feeling better and thanks my neck is doing better too.

It was 37 here this morning and it's in the low 60's now and beautiful out.

I took the trail this afternoon with Logan...just had to get outside.

2 hour season finale of Dallas tonight, taping Big Bang, and watching baseball...so many new shows to watch and they all have to be on at the same time. The DVR will be getting good use.

FUTURE are you around?

Tony you didn't pop in this weekend either...

My 87 year old dad had a dr. apt today and they couldn't find a thing wrong with him . AMEN! The dr. said he was probably healthier than he was! I am so blessed to still have him. We are doing a North Country trail walk on Saturday together..how cool is that?

Well better get dinner started..have a good night!

[nomless]

Cardio done. Bopper, it's great dad had a good checkup!

[Iluvlucy]

It's cool out here...think it's pretty unusual in this neck of the woods to be this cool already. Not complaining though, it was great running in it! Kids were in the 30's again this morning. Been seeing some beautiful pictures of leaves changing on fb. My gf's in CO and WI posted some beautiful ones already. I saw some while driving through the mountains on the way home, think it's going to be a good year.

Praying for our military and our country. Crazy world we're living in, not sure how this will turn out.

nomless....I've always been active, never one to sit still for too long. I actually have been known to drive my friends crazy at times because I always have to be up and doing...lol. No one wants to vacation with me because I'm up at the crack of dawn and want to go all day long. Who sleeps on vacation?? I love the outdoors too which helps and can handle extreme temps better than most...although hate 100* weather. But I have slowed down compared to how I used to be, all this stress really takes a toll...wish I'd get some of that energy back!

Walked Lucy and got my run in this morning...this foot is still hurting. I know tendonitis can take months but it's getting on my last nerve! Waiting to hear when the Pres is speaking but still need to hit the gym then take Lucy for a bike ride, she LOVES it! I took her twice yesterday...and we took her for a 3-mile walk last night after dinner. She was out like a light last night!

bopper...so glad dad had a good check-up.

Oh brother...my heart just sank. Got a text from my son...he's having trouble again. So upsetting.

[bopper]

Hey all, anyone else have trouble getting on here today...?

I did a KCM bi's, tri's and legs today and a walk with Logan. Another beautiful fall day..cool nights...

Pppmint I am so sorry you got a message from DS and he isn't feeling good again..What will happen? Do you have to go back? Thank you regarding my dad...

Nomless thank you to you as well. He is a pretty cool dad! Are you ready for NCIS? I think often about cosmetics and how much she loved the show...miss her..

Will probably walk Logan again after dinner before dark.

I made a delicious apple bread today, will do sauce too. The farmers market sells boxes of apples for 5$ and there must be 25#'s of apples in the box. They sell them cheap because they have bruises...I"ll take them.. Last winter we had homemade apple sauce all winter.

Not much else to report here....have a good day!

[nomless]

Patty, good wishes to DS. Dang it. I smiled reading that Lucy likes bike riding. As long as she's with you or DH and moving, she's a happy girl. LOL

Hi, Bopper, I don't watch NCIS, but I sure do think of Cosmetics every time I see it's on. I miss her, too. Apple bread and applesauce. Yum. You're lucky to be able to get them inexpensively. I've been buying Honey Crisp...yum, they're wonderful!

I'll do TG tonight. I don't have any news. It's been a quite day. It's a little rainy today and a bit chilly, but not too bad. Our trees aren't changing color yet. I hope they do. Some years the leaves just get brown and fall to the ground, other years we get lovely fall colors. I don't know why....moisture level maybe?

[Iluvlucy]

Morning everyone! This front is giving me a headache. And what a front it is...they showed us on the Today show and said we're going to have the worst weather in the country today. 4-6 inches and high winds...flash floods possible which they just had less than 2 weeks ago. It was up to 30 mph winds when I walked Lucy this morning...lol...she was so funny, walking sideways and trying to run! Didn't stop her though, that girl is a trooper!

nomless and bopper...they're hoping it was just his body taking a little bit of adapting from the lower dose...he came down 5 mgs. Doc said he could either go back up, or see if his body adapts by today. Of course he chose the latter.

Went for a run, walked Lucy, and did legs. Need to find my routine/time at the gym...it really is a learning curve, feel a little out of sorts. Class times are weird...think I might have to do the early morning ones or join CrossFit. I'm so darn sore from kettle-bell swings yesterday, amongst other things...was going to do TRX today but there is no way. I really think some of it is from driving, my back and neck are still stiff from 9-hours of driving.

nomless, we biked with Lucy again last night all over the base...had people stop us and someone even asked if she could take a picture of her. She got antsy while we stopped and posed...haha...Chop-chop! She sure lets us know what she likes and what she doesn't. DH just adores her, gets the biggest kick out of her and thinks she's the funniest dog ever.

Had a meeting yesterday, ended up taking up my entire day but it was fun. Bunch of stuff coming up...already doing a big Halloween Trunk or Treat at the command! Doesn't seem like it should be time yet, but like I said, I really did miss my 'summer'.
