January Training and Nutrition Challenge (Page 21)

rnihill - 2011-01-12 5:20 AM So, my trip with my daughter to the doctor's office resulted in a trip to the ER...  and then an overnight stay in the pediatric wing.  She was diagnosed with ITP, which basically means she has a really low platelet count, but her white and red cell counts are normal.  A "normal" platelet count is 130...  her initial reading at the ER last night was a 1.  Yeah, not good...  basically she has no ability to clot.  So they admitted her thinking we were in for 2-3 days.  She got some meds last night and retested this afternoon and was up to 18.  Nowehere near, 130 but enough improvement to go home and take it easy and come back for another check on Friday.

So o?bviously, my run didn't happen last night!  And after sleeping for about 2 hours on a cot?, I'm not likely to do much tonight either. ? ??B?u?t? ??I?'?m? ?j?u?s?t? ?h?a?p?p?y? ?t?o? ?h?a?v?????????????e?? ?t?h?e? ?w?h?o?l?e? ?f?a?m?i?l?y? ?h?o?m?e? ?t?o?n??ig?h????t?.? ? ??

Morning All!

Its a bit quiet in here right now, how is everyone? How are your weeks going?

I'm waiting to see if my tri on Sunday is going to be cancelled due to the recent flooding. Part of me hopes it is on because I want to do it and part of me hopes for a postponement because my training has been less than ideal....

Yes it is winter in the north

QueenZipp - 2011-01-13 10:48 AM Okay Yanti.....I have been mega-pigleted today.  Rasoul this morning and Jorge's winter plan tonight.  Did I mention that I <3 my piglets?

rh8463 - 2011-01-12 7:52 PM

So many piglets, so little time....

QueenZipp - 2011-01-13 10:58 AM

That is worthy of a sig line.....or even a future blog title! 

 

I referred to Yanti as Mistress of Pop Tarts today which got a similar response!

QueenZipp - 2011-01-14 12:01 AM Feeling less and less love for the swim every time I go.

Desperately miss real running for the joy of running.

Yep, it's a pity party kinda day.  Grab a violin and play me some music.

rh8463 - 2011-01-13 9:05 AM

Yay - I made it into your sig line!!!

Love the Mistress of Pop Tarts also, both the title and the mistress herself obviously.

Emmanem - 2011-01-14 1:49 AM Hello everyone!!

Been a lazy and very unhealthy eating filled week for me.  I blame snow and wanting to have fun with my friends which meant training had to take a backseat to fun  Should be doing an ab dvd with one of my roommates today and maybe getting a run in but I'm also supposed to go grocery/school supply shopping with James so there may not be time for a run too.  I'm working tomorrow and Saturday so I'll probably get in workouts after work.  I actually have a wonderfully healthy and veggies filled salad planned for dinner tonight so I'll get somewhat caught up on my fruit and veggie servings.  Hope everyone's had a great week so far! 

TriAya - 2011-01-13 1:56 PM

no fun, no life i think you made the right choice

i've been doing great, so great i've totally lost track of my fruit/veg count. it's been at least 7 every day ... i'm pretty much just stuffing my face with them. it makes me happy. all the pretty colors and crunchies and garlic and sugar that you don't have to pay for in terms of this challenge.

Emmanem - 2011-01-14 2:51 AM

I actually miss eating a lot of fruit and veggies so that's why I decided on a salad for dinner.

By the way... Love your new avatar Yanti!!

TriAya - 2011-01-14 2:18 AM

i just love everything about everything about all of this, and you two especially.*

If it's on just remember it's about having fun! Don't worry about your training to this point, just go go go!!
