PeterAK's Group: THIS TREEHOUSE IS FULL!!! (Page 7)

Wowsers Andria.  Hope you are getting better!

Dave, Andria's experience makes me a little worried about the ammonia stuff!

you're right - not the most comforting thing in the world...

Quick check of Nephrotic syndrome does not mention ammonia odor nor do I present with any other symptom.... WHEW!

Hi, sorry, didn't mean to do that!  I also noticed it's not mentioned as a symptom (maybe most folks with it aren't exercising).  I had mentioned it to my doctor and she said it can indicate a kidney and/or liver problem...But, yes, other symptoms will be there first. 

 I did a quick Google and it sounds like there are a few other folks out there irritated with this smell after certain types of exercise...hang in there and good luck!

 Have a good day everyone....I'm looking at my planned training for today and feel like going back to bed : (

Good way to work into it.  Find a buddy to go do some open water swim practice with too!

Tautery - 2008-01-08 10:49 AM I'm getting back into working out. Visiting with the trainer was a real pick-me-up. He's already warned me I'll be pretty sore on weight days, but that I have to keep up the cardio. If I don't post the rest of this week, you'll all know why . My season (if the trainer doesn't kill me) is: - "100% Irish for a Day" 5k in March - looking for another 5k in April and/or May -giving serious thought to a local sprint the end of June (time limit is the same, but the distances are shorter!) - still gonna make a push to make the Egg Harbor sprint in July. It'll be a sprint for me, that's for sure

One aspect of training I learned to embrace last year was even if you don't feel like working out, just do it.  It's okay to lower intensity a bit, it's okay to shorten things a bit, but get a workout in.  After the fact, you will be glad you did.  By doing so it also allows you to really make the most of your scheduled rest days as you won't feel guilty for skipping workouts.  This applies to your comments above too Andria!

bump.  HI!  Just checkin in.  I'm struggling getting up in the early AM to train, but that is the only time I have.  I do so much better when I do it in the morning as apposed to late at night.  Problem is... my bed is soft and cozy and warm, and I don't wanna!  Any ideas how to get out of bed???

Regimom, I find mornings really tough too.  The only way to get a workout in before work for me is to think of it as an appointment.  I don't like cancelling appointments!

Zilla, how did you  hurt your neck?  I messed mine up this weekend and got a beat-me-up type massage on Monday to help with it.  The muscle from the base of my skull was a big knot all the way down my back.   I've got the range of motion back but still some soreness.  My massage therapist is awesome!

Get it massaged to get that knot out of there!

If I didn't know any better I think we had the same bed.  I usually don't get home until midnight so my early morning training is hit and miss.  I just try to get something in while the oldest is at school and the youngest is at pre-school.

Set up your alarm clock on the other side of the room so you have to get up OUT of the bed when it goes off.  Sometimes I set my clock alarm, my watch alarm and my cell phone alarm to all go off within a few minutes of each other so if I do hit the "snooze" the other alarms will annoy me enough to wake me up.

For the record, I also love the bed.  I wish I could get to bed earlier, but my most productive times are late at night.  Always have been that way.  Probably why I'm okay with working out after work and then taking care of whatever needs to be done.

Spanglers, you work second shift?  I gotta think that would be tough.  I keep "modified bankers hours."  Meaning, I usually get to work around 9 and am here until 6 or so.  I am fortunate to have very flexible work hours.

Yep - 2nd shifter!  Gotta leave my house around 2pm.  On a good night I can get home by midnight.  I actually like the shift except during the school year when I don't get to see the oldest boy for more that 20 - 30 minutes a day.  That kinda sucks.  Plus I miss out on all the evening rides / events when the weather gets warm because I'm at work.

Alarm went off at 4:45 and was at pool by 5:03 - ah well.. My DW tells me "old people need less sleep!" - Niiiice -

RE: the bed - we hated the tempurpedic - anyone have any expereince with the sleepnumber?

We don't have a sleepnumber bed but some friends of ours do and the absolutely love it!

Greetings from Breckenridge! Going to be snowboarding tomorrow and Saturday, and get to have lunch with regimom and mmakbenton on Sunday!!!  Sweet! 

I've got The Stick too, it is awesome for the legs but I haven't used it for my back.   I tried a roller but just hurt myself with it!

Cool!  I'm sure they're be some pics!

Say hi to them from me--I haven't had a chance to meet them yet!
