Hi My Name Is ...

Kathy and Janet, I've been thinking about you too.  I had been running again and worked up to almost 5 miles but then I got sick :-(  That was about 2 weeks ago but I did lose 3 pounds!

I'm getting back into running in the next couple of days.  I've been thinking about a nutribullet.....sounds healthy!

Hi Gals,

I know you all must be wondering what happened to me. We had a fabulous time in Alaska and walked the deck a lot when we were at sea. I also used the fitness room. Since returning however I have been a slug!  We've had a ton of company and I also recently had surgery on my heel to remove a small, flat, hyper pigmented area (not as big as a pencil eraser). The dermatologist thought it should be removed as he was concerned about melanoma. He took a big chunk out of my heel and since then, over three weeks now, it isn't completely healed and is still quite painful. I can only wear open back shoes. He said it could take two months to heal. Fortunately the pathology was benign. So, I haven't been able to use the therapy pool or go walking. 😞 I am frustrated about that. When I get frustrated I eat! NOT good! So I need to get back to riding my stationary bike and stop whining along with choosing healthier meals. 😊

I hope all of you are doing well and will have a wonderful, safe holiday weekend.

Hi, Rocket, good to see you, and so glad the pathology was benign!! Prayers now healing and no more pain! 

Tammy! You had a great run!! 

I did a lot of walking this weekend and just came back from a long walk and did some hills! 

Hi, Janet and Judy!!!!

Hi, Janet!! You are so good with the bike riding! We went bike riding a lot last year, and now they are collecting dust!! You have inspired me to take a bike ride tomorrow!! Thanks!! I have been drinking a green smoothie daily!! I am so glad we bought the nutribullet!  Are you still drinking the shakes? They are great, too!!

Hi Kathy! Yes I am still drinking the shakes. Not every day but quite often. For example, I Had one for lunch today because I was out on the road doing errands & appointment with my oncologist. I find it to be a healthier choice than eating out. I love my pizza & burgers but they don't love me....he-he I didn't get to ride my bike today but will try after work tomorrow.

Have a great evening! Big hello to Tammy, Rocket & Judy!

Have fun at the Yankee game!!! 

Hi, Rocket! Prayers for a fast recovery! So glad you can use the bike! You are a trooper !! How fun that your sister will be visiting!! I am sure you will have a ball!!

Rocket, zucchini lasagne?  Sounds very healthy.  Enjoy the time with your sister!

Hello!!  I have registered for a 9 Km run tomorrow... I was on track training wise until I got sick about a month ago.  I've never run that far so I need positive thoughts for my run/ walk!

How did your run go Tammy? Hope you rested after that!

Rocket, glad to hear you will be spending time with your sister. Hope your foot is feeling better every day. I know what you mean about cooking for yourself. When my husband travels I love to get some Chinese food because he doesn't like to eat it, but I know that isn't very good for you.

Hi Kathy! Hope all is well with you.

Things are OK here. Got a good report from my oncologist!! Next appointment in 9 months, glad to see the time span is growing, 

Have a great evening, Happy Fall!! 

Hi, friends!! How is everyone

Hooray, Tammy!! That is awesome!! I am still maintaining, but have not lost!! Going to keep after it, thanks, Hon, for asking!! Did the elyptical and stationary bike today ,and walked!!  When is your next marathon? You are an inspiration!!!

Hi ladies,congratulations on your run Tammy. Your an inspiration. Enjoy your holiday, healthier eating is around the corner as is the holidays!!  Unbelievable how quick time flies. Try not to stress about your upcoming appointment....that never helps!

Kathy, your exercise & healthy living is also inspirational, keep up the good work!

I've been MIA for a bit....I've been dealing with some joint pain for over a month. At first I thought I over did in the garden & bike riding.....but after weeks of aleeve, Epsom salt baths & no exercise it has only gotten worse. I finally went to the doctor on Friday & had lots of blood work done. Should get some results today....possible Lyme disease. I'm kind do hoping for that as it can be treated with antibiotics. Other scenarios make diagnosis a bit harder. It's just so bizarre on how much pain I'm in, can't even lift my legs to get into pants, etc....it always seems to be something getting in my way to exercise! Thanks for listening......happy, healthy vibes your way!

(((Hugs))) janet

Well.....it's not a tick Bourne disease. Something autoimmune. I have an appointment with a rheumatologist 12/17. (The soonest I could get) started on some prednisone for now & I am able to move my legs now. Still waiting to hear back from my PMD. Looks like I won't be exercising for a bit! Hope everyone is doing well. Enjoy 

Dear Janet!!! I wish I could give you a hug in person! Just get better, and then you can exercise! Please keep,us posted! 

Tammy, good for you! Sounds really good!! Enjoy!!!
