Hope errands go well Dej, I know the muggy humid carp weather's dreadful!

We're being flooded out today.. I walked a good amount, but got home with really really wet running shoes (not good at all). I ended up logging on and working 4 hours of overtime (yeah, I'm going to regret that I bet by Friday) because the weather was just THAT bad today.

I did my 20 min toning. Thinking and after dinner walk if it's not crazy soaking out there now. It seems to have calmed a bit, but I see thunderstorms are forecast for this evening so that's not cool!

Got overwhelmed in the grocery store. UGH! I was doing great till a mom with 3 wagons, and six count them SIX kids were following me from isle to isle. I skipped a couple of isles to get away, and ...there she was! I went back 4 isles to catch up and...There she was! I backed up to get lunch meat for Ds and...there she was! I told DH I couldnt take it anymore. I went and sat in the cafe area till I saw her go to the check out, and by then I was completely spent!

Ever wants folks to just GET AWAY FROM ME! let me shop in peace! where did all these people come from?

Dej, go shopping in very early morning. No parents, no kids, only a few weirdos..(take DH with you)

Dej, for me it's always the family with the screaming kid that's trying to break the sound barrier with the screaming. (loud enough you can hear the screams while still out in the parking lot...in your car) Usually it's a kid that's so obviously so tired that he/she/it shouldnt be out shopping with the parents, but should be home napping, but instead it's being hauled around while they look at dvd's in the Electronics section of WalMart.

I always end up with that group of people going to the same parts of the store where I'm trying to shop. It's so hard to shop while my ears are bleeding.

and to make sure this post is actually on topic...I went to the gym today. Everyone and their brother was there. I had to search for a treadmill. Finally found one off in the corner, that was actually a really nice treadmill. I just didnt like that the little thingie that people can plug their headphones into so they can hear the audio on the tvs was in the way of my Kindle sitting on the book rest. How happy am I that Amazon designed the K so that you can change the screen orientation. I put the K sideways on the book rest and read it that way. Next page button was kind of inconvenient, but at least I still got to read.

did 20 minutes, and about .43 of a mile. It was crowded in the gym, and I kept getting evil eyes from some of the jogger/runners that wanted the treadmill I was on. Apparently I wasnt worthy of using that treadmill because I was only walking and not running on it. (some people make me want to smack them around with my cane...I dont tho, because I dont want to get blood on my cane.)

Did 2 miles this morning. im pooped! didnt want to wake up, didnt want to walk, didnt want to loads of things....but I did! Then I had a glas of full fruit juice with montel williams BS powder in it, and im off and running. going to the movies today!

I worked 8 hours + 1.5 hours overtime yesterday. Walked before work, then when I got back home, helped a lady move several huge heavy boxes to her car (moving out), then worked...

Did my 20 toning last night while cooking, and still did my 5 km last night following dinner (though an hour late... it was dark out when I got home).

Today, after 7.5 hours of sleep or so, I got up, showered, and set out on my walk for 30 minutes. Well, I am burnt out I think. I didn't feel the familiar 'bounce' in my step today. I was dragging the last half of the walk. Not good.

Supposed to be really rainy tonight, but this is also supposed to be my 5 km walk tonight (skip Thurs-Sat) and I'm thinking I may not do it. I don't know if I can. I feel downright fatigued, which isn't like me most days.

Otherwise feel great, except my pain is stepped up a notch and I feel dopey as all heck. Let's see how work goes today.

I went to the gym today, things were going great for about 9 minutes when the treadmill just up and stopped on me. Nearly faceplanted into the control panel of the machine. Pulled my shoulder a little, and hurt my hand. Pulled something in my back too. I'd just sped the thing up before it just went dead on me.

Really annoyed the heck out of me. Pay $30 a month for the membership and half the machines don't work.

That was the first time I've had a machine crap out on me like that tho

I went and kvetched (complained) to the management and went home.

I think I only walked maybe 8 or 9 minutes.

My back hurts now

[Dejibo]

woke draggin my right leg. thats odd because its always my left that suffers thru the flairs, but there it is, my right let being very stubborn and not wanting to work. 5am. made DS breakfast, dragged on my clothes, and off we went, draggin a leg and all. Still did 2 miles, but slower. my leg is all buzzy and unhappy. So...let see where this lead. Stupid disease! walking is good for me, but I cant walk if I am dragging a leg.

[dmplaura]

Did not walk last night... worked an extra hour of overtime (yes I am stubborn!). I did my 30 min walk before work, and 20 minutes of toning at dinner, but it was so dark and pouring out I stayed in.

Might see about walking tonight. I don't know the work situation, but I may veto the overtime for the rest of the week (though having extra money when hubby's here visiting would be really nice).

[dmplaura]

Well, I didn't walk last night beyond 20 minutes to take out $20 at an ATM of my bank nearby home. It was drizzling really hard out (and they said 0% chance precip... yeah right!). Was miserable, cold, dark, so I walked a short bit and came home.

Have to walk to the store tonight about 20-25 min from home, and back, so that'll be a good replacement I think for the walks missed this week.

Did my 30 min this morning, and while my 'bounce' is back, my head's in dreadful pain today. Weather change... going from very chilly/unseasonably cold (which I was loving once it stayed that way a few days... low pain!) to humid/hot and dry today. Going to make for a difficult day here.

I hope everyone else is doing well and having a great week!
