Morning all. TGIF!
Mel - Cute graphic.
What a caring doc you have - you're very lucky to have him back for you and Jen! Sorry the office is in a shambles. Good you hightailed it back to safety!!! Re foam rollers - there's a lot of information on the internet about using them, and I can also ask my Pilates instructor, who is also a trainer.
Annie - Always nice getting paid good money for something you like to do! Re your fitness ball - big one, right? There's all kinds of great exercises you can do. I remember a routine from Jazzercise that I'll call "ride 'em cowboy" and boy did I feel that in my quads!! And crunches on the ball are good too. All I have to say is please be
very careful!! The wobbliness is what makes you use your muscles to remain stable, but I've seen people fall off the ball and heard stories of injuries. link:

Ceejay - Good for the slothfulness! Sounds like your tummy's still not 100%. I think more slothfulness is required for a full recovery.
Shad - are you home now? Hope you've dug out from being "snowed under". Not to be confused with snowed in, which may apply to both Happy and Michelle...
Happy - Still shoveling? Hope you and dh are taking it easy and taking a lot of breaks - it'll either still be there waiting for you, or it'll melt, so no hurry!
Michelle - How did hubby's dr appts go? And how are YOU feeling? All the busyness at work and worry about dh couldn't have helped. I hope your work at home day is much calmer.
Hi Mary.

Trying to use up my fitness passport. Next week is busy, so I went to a circuit class last night. It was okay, except I pulled something on the left side of my booty when I was getting up from the mat. Ouch! I think it's either an upper hamstring or some kind of glute muscle. I could probably use a foam roller about now. I also saw something about using a tennis ball to serve the same purpose!! I'm laughing thinking about rolling around with a tennis ball under my butt, LOL. Doggy wouldn't think anything of it - he seems to enjoy rolling around on the rug on top of his toys!
Nothing going on tonight. I need to do some cleaning because my friend is going to stay over at the house Saturday night. Saturday morning I have a blood draw for my upcoming physical, so I'll have to stop eating by 9:30 tonight.
After the blood draw Sat. morning, I'm going to an exercise class. I think it's one my cousin goes to, so I hope to see her there. After that - more cleaning.
My friend and I are going out to dinner and then to see a band at a place near the house on Saturday evening. Should be fun. Bf has a 50th bday party to attend that he excused me from, lol. He doesn't plan on staying too long himself, so he might meet us later to see the band.
That's about it for me. Have a good weekend everyone!!
