Good morning, everyone! DD woke me up at 4 looking for longer socks 'cause her feet are cold and now I can't get back to sleep. Checked my email and found that we're supposed to have blizzard conditions for a couple of hours this afternoon--right when she needs to be picked up. Sigh. I'm over winter already. I've had two great days of eating. Now I'll try to make it to the gym for a big sweaty workout. I just started watching "The Biggest Loser" this season and it makes me feel that my 30 minutes of elliptical are nothing...I'm aiming for 500 calories gone per workout (instead of 300 plus some work on the machines).
One stupid thing that's been weighing on my mind--my mom moved into an independent living place recently and I need to get her house emptied out, spruced up and on the market to sell. I want to have it ready to list by the beginning of April, so I'll get moving on it this week. I think that there's a mouse in residence...soooooo not my favorite thing to deal with. Oh well...enough whining for one early morning.
Newleaf - Yaaaaaaay for the good news!!! I've been looking at the home PreCor stuff (that's what I use at the gym)...glad to know you like yours. Do you also have low blood pressure with your low heart rate? I always had that when I was thinnish and I'd faint easily. (So yes, the upside to being fat was getting my blood pressure up to normal--pretty weird.)
Marie - Thanks for the elliptical advice--that website looks great. And yes, a friend had a home treadmill which I found pretty bad (and which she never used). I think that hiding the scale post-surgery is a terrifici idea.
Susie - I really like your blog! And your mini goals are awesome.
Lambchop - So is it hard going from treadmill to outside running? I had friends who would complain about that. Glad you listened to your body about the 7 mile and yes, a doctor seems like a good idea. Don't forget that many of us are nicely jealous of your 4 miles!
Kathi - Sorry that it's been such a hard month!!!!! Sounds like you're doing your best to take care of yourself in spite of it.
Petra - Hey, I've made various goat curries before...just not recently. I do love goat, though. And lots of people we know raise them...there might be goats in our future. (And chickens.) Goat is yummy! And goat cheese is surprisingly hard to make--not that I've tried. I am definitely pro-goat! Sound cautiously great about the old boyfriend...
Annie - 3 minutes! Woo-hoo!
fatBgone - Hello and what a cute dog!
Have a good one, everybody...
