Girl Passing on Left (FULL) (Page 34)

Thank you MDHillSlug for thinking of me while you did your own workout ! That is so cool !  I appreciate knowing that what makes me comfy is actually correct ! WOOHOO

YOU ROCK !!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH !

Julie, I just got caught up and see that I had missed your doctor apt ! 

I am so sorry I was not able to send encrouragment sooner, but I'm sure sending it now !!!

HUGS GIRL !! 

One of these days I'll have to show you my tattoo, I had my nickname put on my lower back "Jewel's".......so now I kinda have "our nickname".......I take you with me girl ! smile

that is freekin good!!! You would do a half mary in about 2 hours...wow!!! just wow!

Woo-hoo!  You go, speed daemon.  

I am baaaaaaaaaaaack and happy to report that your fearless captain is going to live! kinda embarrassed to report that the mass that I felt was normal...called the xyphoid process?? when I told my doctor she just smiled and said that because I have lost sooo much weight that I had never felt this there before and that she has people who lose weight come in all the time panicing over this. SHWUUUUUUUUU! relief! I also got an appointment to have an xray on my knee when I return...she did not like the fact that it has been over two weeks and it is still so sensy (sensitive). I have an appointment for a mammogram...DOH...darn you for mentioning this Nicole...and for me mentioning it to her! and I am soon to lose the reader glasses and get OLD TIMER glasses! hoping they do not try and get me to wear bifocals...

so, thank you...thank you....thank you....to each and every one of you for all your good thought, your prayers....and now I have some of your phone numbers....woo hoo....just you wait til I surprise you with a call in the days to come! I love you all and appreciate all the love and support you sent to me!

and I doubly thank you for all the inspires you left me!

now for training.....how are each of you doing? I would like to ask that we all check in at least three times a week....we need to hear from each and every one of you. Remember this is the reason that we all joined forces....so, whatcha say? deal?

here is a link to wikipedia...with a drawing...it is at the bottom of the spine - see picture:

Fantastic Lyssa!!  Time for a hot bath and leg massage.

WOOOHOO Julie , great to hear that you are ok ! PHEW is right !

Lyssa, I'm with Amy, were you running FROM something ?.........lol great job (now teach me) Seriously we joke that I take small steps when I "run" like the chinese gals in tiny wooden shoes and kimonos (SP?)...... or is that Japanese ?...... well ayway, I take tiny steps even though I try not too !

Soooo GREAT JOB !

Hi Julie.  I'm very happy to hear that all is well.  Never heard of the Xiphoid process, but I did take a look at wikipedia.   

I've had bifocals for about two years.  I use them mostly for reading.  Used to need the distance assist for driving at night, but my eyes seem to have improved in the last year or so.

I am happy with checking in 3 times a week.  I've had a good week so far and am planning to rest today (Friday).   We got more snow last night, but the sun is out and I'm hopeful it will melt everything so that I can get out for a ride tomorrow. 

my fingers are crossed that the snow melts and you are able to get on the bike tomorrow. and look forward to hearing about your warm tootsies after the ride from those new socks you purchased!

haha why do I have a visual of you running like that....but that is ok...just keep on keeping on...baby steps are better then no steps! kiu Jules!

amy mutz - 2009-01-15 5:35 PM Oh, my prayers for you were answered!!!! I'm so happy I knew that you could handle anything you had to , but was thinking you have had enough on your shoulders lately. Well do you feel like you have a new lease on life!?!? Take a deep breath and enjoy your life you have a great one!!! And to answer your question; was I praying while working out....ooops....no, I decided to work later, clean the house, walk the dog, and go over spelling words with my son....I didn't want to drive 50 miles round trip to the Y. I think tomorrow is going to work out to get out of the office early to get to the Y and get two hours in...maybe...I have to go to the Chiropractor/Nutritionist at 2:30, he is going to try and help me make it throuh my race season without a body breakdown and nutritional breakdown like last year.... I have been keeping all my nutrition, training time, supplements, etc... He will evaluate them and give me a crack or two. Amy IN

hey there tiger...or soon to be one on Monday! the weight has been lifted off my shoulders....thanks to you and everyone else!!!! let us know what you learn from your nutritionisit. always good to keep nutritionally fit...hope the chiropractor is just routine and nothing out of the sorts! hugs across the 6 states from Cali to Indiana....

oohooh! just made a huge spelling discovery (which you probably already know, i'm always last on these things. LOL) punch your son's spelling list in at www.spellingcity.com he can play games and even tests on there. my son LOVES the games, and will sit here WILLINGLY for over an HOUR doing his spelling!! edited because i FORGOT THE "G" IN SPELLINGCITY!!!! oh the irony. LOL

there you go again...making me spew stuff on the computer...darn it! I am going to need a new keyboard and harddrive if you keep this silliness up! but honestly keep it up..I would rather replace these material things then sit around and not have your funny messages to read! have a great evening Lyssa...I will not be mailing your items til next week....sorry for the delay!

lyssa-gator - 2009-01-15 7:49 PM yay!! julee's ok!!!! i'm so relieved woman!! now you can have a nice RELAXING swimmy swimmy tomorrow!!

I may try and go while the dh is packing our vehicle and bikes... but if not, I will sit in the hot tub and do flip turns is that good enough? and we are planning on a ride when we arrive to bako...which is short for Bakersfield. We are going to a biathlon race this weekend...we are team SNAMANATOR...(last name Snaman) pretty clever eh?

Whew!!!  Glad you're okay!!

 My boys are sick.  This severely limits how much I can work out.  Plus it doesn't help that my husband is out of town.  He'll be home Friday night so I can at least get to the gym on Saturday.  Hopefully next week will be better.  Every time I get on my trainer, my boys fuss for me to get down and sit with them.  I think they're just feeling crappy and want mommy. 

I start my swim training on Monday, so at least I have that to look forward too.

I'm really glad that I had canceled today's run because of my knees because this morning's temperature was 8F plus wind. I've run down to 15 or 18 but never this cold. So, I'm sure I would have bagged it anyway. Instead of running I did Pilates. For the first time I did the full beginner's workout rather than the modified beginner's workout. Wow! My abs and quads are not happy right now!

The weather this weekend will likely week me from riding outside as it's going to be even too cold for me.

Just a quick note to say "Howdy!" from chinook-ing Calgary...after all our snow and cold, we do get these systems from time to time that blow in strong warm winds- we're looking at +10C!!! Yippee for warm....boo for strong gale force winds and the gross slush that it will create since there is 3 ft of snow piled on top of every sewer grate.

Julie, so relieved to hear that all is well. Have fun at the race in Bakersfield! I'll be cheering for you!

Alyssa- you runner girl, you! You were flying! My sister gave me a shirt once that says, "I don't chase boys, I pass 'em!" This is you!!!!

Nicole, hope the knees are feeling better and that weather warms up for you! Way to go on the Pilates- You must have abs of steel!

Jennifer, hope the boys are feeling better. Never fun watching the little ones when they are down in the dumps.

Amy, hope you get to the gym today and that you learn lots of good nutritional stuff that you can share with the gang. I always find it so interesting. I am constantly famished these days- in fact I am probably consuming more calories than the hubby.

Dan, wishing you some warm chinook winds to melt your snow too! H

Happy Friday gang!  woo hoo! 

lyssa-gator - 2009-01-16 12:39 PM morning all! i was going to try to sleep in an extra hour instead of running today, but that didn't pan out, so now i'm trying to decide if i'm having a day off? or if i should go out for a short little 2 or 3 mile recovery run. i'm really excited about this lazy man thing--all the distances of an iron man and you see how many weeks it takes you to finish! i started on the 10th and i only have 4.5 miles left on the "marathon" (of course i've done NO swimming, and NO biking-but still-it's the most i've ever run in a week before!!) i am stiff stiff stiff this morning, and run or no run, there will be much stretching, and yoga for me today.

Rather than running consider doing some easy spinning on the trainer.

Where did you hear about this "Lazyman" thing? I finished the swim distance last week, I'm less than 20 miles short of the biking, but I'm a half marathon short on running. If my knees cooperate I might be able to finish off the running by the end of the month.

Hi all, wanted to check in say a "hi de ho". Been kinda an uck day here but I'm hoping that you all have great workouts and great luck !!!
Hoping tomorrow I'll get to some inspires ......and god forbid..SWIMMING !

lol

Hugs all
