Hi Shelly- just saw your post. Forgot to give you a high five for working with your trainer! Good job! I'll bet the gym was nuts yesterday...wonder how spin will be tonight? Maybe I better get there early. Bummer about the freezing...I just read a tip about how to quickly de-ice your windshield (from a weather man in the midwest). Fill a spray bottle with 2/3 rubbing alcohol and 1/3 water. He said that, when you spray it on the windshield, it instantly thaws the ice. You might already have a trick like that though.... By the way, glad that you rested when you got home, sounded like you needed it!
Okay, REALLY going now....

Evening all...back from the pool, had my dinner, now time to catch up a bit!! Will say, I fear I might be sore tomorrow...arms already feel like lead!!! But it's a good thing!!
Shelly...so glad you keep getting that lunchtime workout in...I"m sure it helps not only with activity but also being able to get away from the store and clear your mind!! Yes, it was nice to just hang out at home all day yesterday and not having to venture out in the yucky weather...not so lucky today...weather was exactly the same and it's miserable!! Once the rain clears out we get on day in the mid 40's then the temps are supposed to plummet!! Highs of 25° this weekend!!
Yes Shelly...I do love the indoor warm water pool...you just walk right in, no time to "get used to the water"....it's usually 88-90°....really feels good on my old joints! Your oldest DS sounds like he has the same financial issues that Sarah & Josh did...they are really working hard to be better but they still have a ways to go....they've got the keeping bills current thing down great now but they don't get the process of putting $$$ back for needs in the future....they just scramble month to month!! That is something I want to show them that even $10/week from Sarah's babysitting $$$ would be over $500/year and they could do it without even noticing it...they just aren't convinced!!
Well Shelly...you have one more holiday than Josh...he gets Thanksgiving and Christmas!!

Thanks for getting us up and going this morning Jo...sorry DH & Rosie took over the bed and had you up so early!!! I know for me when Jason is in the middle of the bed I "bake to death"!!! Too much body heat for me!! Surprisingly, the day for me was pretty quiet...guess being "only myself" it was a nice change!!!
Jo...take care of that knee....don't want to hurt it!! Good plan to park on the 3rd level of the parking garage and take the stairs!!! Every little bit of extra activity helps!! WOW...10# lost in one week is a lot for DH....hopefully his appetite comes back and things move toward healthy again!! WTG on being down 1# Jo...over the holidays, that's great! Hope the transition at work with the new girl is a smooth one! Did you get your new monitor?? How nice that Cookie asked people to share their questions so she could address them....hope the podcasts are useful and helpful for you!! Yup...I had leftover pork tonight too....I'm going to need to plan something for the crockpot later in the week...I won't have enough pork & stuff to make it until Friday...not sure what I'm bringing for lunch at this point! It makes me sad that your DM is getting so scattered....hard to deal with aging, failing parents for sure!
Carole...bummer about the the head cold coming on!! Had Eden been sick??? Did she share her germs??? Sounds like I was one of the few that slept fairly well last night...not GREAT but definitely it was a "good night's sleep"!!! Hoping for another good night tonight! Don't worry about the Monday falling apart...I know for me, when I don't feel good, everything falls apart!! New day today....grab it and go for it!! You've got this!! Maybe an early night is a good thing since Ken & Tracy will be out tonight....rest is important when you aren't feeling up to par!!
AT work, I actually have 2 monitors and I love it...I often have more than one spreadsheet open and being able to see them both at the same time without minimizing windows is awesome!! It's also nice when I'm doing shipping quotes....I can see the email with the request on one monitor while accessing the FedEx website on the other! It's a luxury I just got about 6 months ago and I love it!!
Carole...always nice to get a "2nd wind" and be able to get a lot done in a short period of time!! It's also nice when no one is home to bother you...I get so much more done when Jason is not "under foot"!!

Gabrielle...I'm sure it's tough getting back into full swing at school!! I know a few teacher friends really hate the 1st day back after Christmas break...kids just aren't "into it" coming off a break! How come all the stuff/responsibilities are landing on your desk??? That doesn't seem fair??? I like the idea of doing the hardest task 1st...makes sense!! I'll have to keep that in mind!! You are back into routine now so it's the perfect time to make tracking part of that routine!!! Honestly, I think maintaining over the holidays is a success...so many choices, not all good, so many parties and obligations with no control of the food/drink....coming out of the other side at about the same weight as prior to Thanksgiving is a good thing in my eyes!!!
Yes Gabrielle...I'm looking forward to retiring too and enjoying the "getting there" too!! I think with Hannah in NE we will drive it at least once in the summer sometime so Jason can go to a Cardinals game in St. Louis! For me, flying gains me time with my daughter & family so until we can take our time driving and stay with her as long as we want...we will be flying out each time!! Glad DH seems to have rounded a corner and is getting better....had to laugh when you said your marriage "depends on it"!! I know how you feel...LOL!!
BTW....my profile picture is actually Jackson!!! Christmas day he said "Grandma, take a selfie"!! He makes me giggle!! Colton is going to be 8 in February....I'm in denial too that he's that old already!! Heavens, Grandma's "baby" is over 3 years old already!!! They all need to slow down and stop getting so big!!
Yes Gabrielle...as I was sitting in the whirlpool tonight after my pool work out it said not to use it when on anti-coagulants.... I'll be on them for 4-6 weeks so I know I'll be out of the pool at least that long!! I know when DF Rose had her knee done in early June, she was in her pool by early August....I'm hoping!!

Shelly...I've learned that if I want to get anything done after work I can NOT set my hinny down or I will never get up!! My fly-by was only up a little, so maybe I can manage to break even by Thursday....I'm definitely back on track 100% today so even if the scale is not "kind to me" I know that I'm doing the right thing to get things moving in the downward way....
Jenny...sorry you are under the weather too and are in training at work too!! New systems can sometimes have a big "learning curve" to them...is it similar to what you had been used to?? Our last system upgrade went from a DOS like program to a Windows based program....a REALLY big change for us!! Thankfully the new system for us is very user friendly!!
Gabrielle...I was chuckling this morning listening to the TODAY show and them commenting on all the people setting NY resolutions and how the gyms are packed....then someone said..."until February when people go back to their old ways"! There is a lot of truth in that statement....
I'll need to try that de-icer...I have a garage at home, but it would be great to have at work if we get "weather" during the day!!
Time to put my feet up and relax a bit....want to hit the sack early and hopefully get another good night's sleep!!
Sweet,skinny OP dreams to all!

Jenny how did the training go at work today? Sorry you are under the weather. Seems like so many are not feeling to good these days. Hope you are able to get some rest tonight and get to feeling better.
Gabrielle I just saw the tip about how to thaw out your windows. I forgot to get me some more alcohol and an extra spray bottle so I will have that in my car. Maybe I will get it tomorrow. Well when I trained today it was pretty quiet. Only one other person there today but when I am going more ppl are at work. I am sure this evening was busy. I think they had 2 different classes tonight. A clogging class and then a yoga class after that.
Sue glad you made your way to the pool today after work. My legs are going to be hurting me tomorrow. We did legs today and i am already feeling it. Usually it takes closer to 24 hrs before I really feel it but I can already tell I am going to have a hard time if I drop something on the floor and have to try to pick it up.
Oh the pool sounds so nice. I know that would be a nice change of pace if I could maybe swim at least 2 times a week when I am not with trainer but not even an option where I live.
Yes DS Michael does have financial issues. I think he has learned from his mistakes but has to get things paid off and it is hard because his work is so unsteady and that is where he has gotten into trouble. When the oilfield crashed a little over a year ago is when his problems started. Now he is working but just had at least a week and a half off over the holidays and so the troubles begin. I hope he can get things paid off soon so he can get his credit going back in the right direction.
I would love to go to a Cardinals game sometime. I have always been a big fan and hoping some day I can get tickets to a Colorado Rockies/St Louis Cardinals game and get to see my middle son Tyler and his wife and little Chesney. He is a big Cardinals fan too so hopefully we can do that sometime.
Yes sitting down is always my problem. I hate that i have a tendency to not get things done if I set down. I did get supper cooked tonight. It was a lemon garlic chicken with veggies. Not t bad. Fresh green beans, red potatoes and chicken breast.
Ok going to bed now and going to watch Chicago Fire and the one after that. Night all
