On days when I run a fever, I have stayed home. I am way too wobbly, and way too blind to be out there trying to drag myself home. DH had a fit and said NO! GO BACK TO BED! He even got me a new video game to keep me laying down and occupied. What a man!

Sorry to hear you've been feeling so crummy Dej, but it's awesome that you've still be able to get out and walk despite the flare and overall malaise.

That's weird that Sally Ann won't accept Winter items until October 1, first I've heard of that! I figured they were just happy to take whatever they could get.

About the video game, that's awesome!!! What game did he get you to play?

Hope you're feeling better soon!

I must admit, I'm moving better and quicker in this delightful fall weather..

I'm happy it's 50 degrees out the past few days. (it'll go back up to 80 in another day or so)

Went to the gym last night and managed about 25 mins on the treadmill because it was FREEZING in the gym. I think they still had the a/c on. I loved it. Once I found a machine that didnt have gum on it (1st treadmill, ew!) and wasnt going to quit working on me and toss me to the floor (2nd treadmill. I didnt get hurt, it quit working before I could actually step on it) I got some decent walking in.

My knee has been killing me lately, but I think it's hurting because I havent been doing much with it. Kind of think inactivity is what's causing part of my problem right now. So, I'm trying to get to the gym every other day. When I'm not getting to the gym, I try to do something with the Wii, so that I'm at least moving around.

its a great day, BUT...I am ALONE! wahoo!!! dear son went to work, and DH went to a shooting event that he is instructing women how to defend themselves, so...the place is MINE! all mine! no one knows how much that means, unless you came from a place of privacy and are now surrounded by men asking "have you seen my?..." "did we buy any??..." or "MOM! can you look at this?..." UGH! NO! the phone hasnt stopped rining, the bell hasnt stopped buzzing, the race track is in full swing round the corner, so you have to turn up the TV just to hear the commericial, and I am overwhelmed with stimulation!!!! LEAVE ME ALONE! So, everyone bailed on me today. Whew...i needed to just sit in the corner and stare out the window. Ahhhhhh....no walks, no exercise, im gonna eat some junk for lunch and nap. stinky and dont even care if I see the shower today. just let me drool in my corner.

I've been told I need to stretch daily, and that I shouldn't do any other excersizing right now.
I just can't find the motivation to do such. I need a stretching partner...

3 miles today! shivering and my teeth chattering, but I was out there. by the end of the walk I was much warmer, but wow! it was cold out there!

I hope the rest of you are out there wiggling things in public.

DH was out on a walk of his own, so took my son with me on my 3 mile hike. HA! Blind as a bat, dragging his mom up the street, but he did a good job! We had several neighbors pass us, and he would tell me who they were, and I would wave. We faked them out! Saw a very nice sweet old lady I havent seen in a long time. She was waving from her yard. My son pointed her out and told me how anxiously she was waving. I would not have seen her. So, we crossed over and chatted. DH is always in a hurry to get from point A to point B, always the Marine, but son was wonderful to know that mom has tons of friendly faces that want to see her. Way to go Matt!

I hope the rest of you are out there wiggling something in public.

Been walking around a lot with the hubby while he's been here visiting. He's a walker too (on his feet at work all day) so he's enjoying our time out and about, and together ultimately!

I was supposed to work today (1 day I couldn't get off) and my manager made a mistake and booked it off! What are the chances??? I was floored when I saw it, and asked her "Do I really have today off??" - A 'pinch me this can't be happening!' moment of sorts lol!

So while I got up and did my 30 min walk (routine before work), hubby and I will be out on the prowl today around town, now that I have a freebie thanks to my manager's scheduling mistake.

Good times!!

Cool Laura..

Even though the temps have been mild, the Humidity has been high and it's been rainy, here in SWOhio. With the hi humidity, I cannot seem to muster the strength to do much!

And I can't seem to get enough quality sleep.

Stretch, stretch, stretch is all I seem to do right now..
