Good morning, ladies! Looks like rain. It's 68 degrees.
I had a really good time at the retreat. I worked at WW on Saturday so I lost half a day but that was okay. Friday is English Paper Piecing and Saturday I'm taking a purse making class.
My neighbor came over yesterday to tell me I had a flat tire. He kindly changed it for me and I went to get a new tire before my drive to work today.
You have been prolific posters! I'm still catching up.
Faye, that is a beautiful family! Jackson has grown so much! I hope everything goes okay for him today. I'm sorry you are having such a time with the socks. That sometimes happens with me for quilting.
Jean, you have been a social butterfly!
Maggie, did that article say water aerobics or swimming? Water aerobics uses weights and is a better workout as far as toning goes so I was just curious. I've been sitting on an exercise ball when I'm on the computer to improve my core muscles. I need to change up my workout every so often because my body becomes used to it and then gets more efficient at doing it and uses less calories for the same work. Do you do anything besides your walking? If your plan is heavy and carbs, try eating more protein and limiting carbs to whole grains only. That's the advice we give at WW.
Have a wonderful day!

Just a quick one this morning ladies. I have been up all night with Fortune. He is sick again and vomiting and pooing all over the house. His tummy is so upset he won't lay still but for a couple minutes so he wouldn't let me sleep either. On top of that, I have that dr appt this morning so I imagine my bp is sky high from no sleep. Ahh well. I just wish he could sleep for a bit. I gave him some antibiotic and his last anti nausea pill but he puked it up and it had been in his tummy long enough to be too soft to put it back down his throat. I gave him a 1/2 tsp syringe full of Pepto and I hope that helps. I came home after taking Jack to work, which takes about an hour and no issues unless he went upstairs while I was gone.
Talk to you all later, just wanted to check in. Gotta go. Faye
Good evening, ladies! Up in the 80s today and lovely.
I had English Paper Piecing today and tomorrow I have my purse class. I'll be going to spend the weekend with Sandy after class. We'll be doing some serious sewing.
The Y is switching from FitLynx to ActivTrac software to record our workouts. I had my appointment to get set up on ActivTrac yesterday after work. I had a very nice young man who did the set up which included working out at the highest possible weight on 8 machines. When I told him I was there for ActivTrac he said "Can you do the machines?" He apologized when we were done because I do the machines very well after doing them for 2 years. This system is so nice because after he input the data, age, height, weight it generates a fresh workout for me every time I go. The workout has machines, a cardio component of my choice, floor exercises, and stepper. The software has nutritional tracking with over 20,000 items in the database and integrates with the exercise. I think I'll really like it. I did my first full workout today and entered it and then it printed out my next workout.
Faye, I hope you forgot to post and aren't feeling bad.
Jean, your crafty trip sounds like so much fun. I order a lot of things from Walmart on line and have them shipped to the store for free.
Maggie, That was a real bargain book! I love finding stuff like that. A real bummer breaking your nail.
I-64 has a 8 mile backup east and 7 miles west at the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel - a sure sign summer has begun!
Have a wonder day!
