Hope I'm not breaking protocol here. I used to belong to a group called Partners in Crime which fizzled and I think finally died so I've been looking for a new home. I'm 43, soon to be 44 so this looked like it might be a good option for me.

Hi, Petra. No protocol to break, just jump right in! Lots of dog lovers here (not me, though LOL I'm a cat lover) which I'm assuming you are, given your avatar...

Hi all, hope everyone is having a great weekend! My gym is at work, and they close early on friday and are closed on the weekends due to the limited number of people who show up at those times. I only pay $15 a month so I can't complain about the cost!

Lamchop: We have two sports shoe stores here in charleston, I checked them both out last year. The one I went with does a video gait analysis. Spent more money on a pair of workout shoes then I have EVER spent on a pair of shoes in my life -but what a difference!

Marie: you might check around locally for any sports or running stores that offer gait analysis for dh...the podiatrist might know of some. glad he made it home safe and y'all are getting back to normal!

Newleaf: glad to have you back : )

Petra: Welcome!

I am feeling much better today. I am taking Tamiflu and it has knocked the flu out and I am just really tired now. I have been staying on plan but doing very little exercise, I have shopping to do today and that will get me out and walking around some.

wlw - how nice that you have a gym at work, i have access to one too and i need to pay my membership, i have been procrastinating about that.

petra - hello and welcome!

onmyway - yay, ticker change!

newleaf - good job with staying on plan. Sometimes it is hard working through those feelings to go off plan and the choices you made were excellent.

marie - how did the bloomin' onion come out? I am curious to know how you make one the healthy way.

Petra - welcome!!

newleaf - nice to "see" you. Great job on staying on plan.

onmyway - congrats on seeing that scale move! It's going to keep going.

weightloss - do you maybe have a public gym nearby that you can drop into once in a while when your gym is closed? It might help to keep your momentum going. I know that my keeping up with the gym is about momentum and I can't stop for long or it's so hard to go back.

Hydra - glad to hear your Tamiflu is working. I've been taking a homeopathic remedy for the same reasons and it seems to be working. It's supposed to be stimulating the immune response. So far, so good. I started feeling sick on Wednesday and I've managed to keep functioning ok. I am soooo tired, though.

Marie - your marinara sounds good. I think I might have to consider canning, too. I have an intolerance to garlic and it seems to be impossible to find any salsas or spaghetti sauces that don't have any. Hmmm...

It's TOM and I'm borderline sick with almost having the flu, although I'm fighting it off as best as I can.
