Wow Wiz, what a workout! Basketball is so much fun too. Its a great idea. Ill remember that one.

Hi sabimax, I hope the rain cooperated, and sorry to hear about your back.

The train sounds like a great thing to visit txbatman.

I swam a mile this morning. Its very relaxing.

I still havent gotten to the gym since monday. Didnt get a nap yesterday, didnt sleep till 4 or 5am this morning, no nap this afternoon. Went out with a friend to BK for dinner.

Hoping to go walking tomorrow night tho, fridays are good days for my dad and I to go wandering around on the treadmills and other exercise equipment at the gym. We wait till around 8 or 9 and then go and get our choice of any of the machines because the big crowd is gone by then. Dont do a huge workout or anything, but we can actually do more with the other machines because there isnt a crowd or a waiting list waiting for a machine.

I was hoping to win Powerball last night, I want to build a house with it's own workout room in it. Then my dad could use that whenever he wanted to, and wouldnt have to pay the membership fees. Oh well...

Spin class last night. Fun class...the instructor always has good music and he does a good job matching the songs he is playing to the tempo and speed he wants us to be riding. It is a tough class, but I always come out feeling good because the good music makes it seem easier. Shorter class, but the intensity made up for it. 44 minutes, Max HR 88% of max, avg HR 78% of max, 706 calories burned.

Going to class this afternoon too. My favorite instructor is teaching and she isn't doing the usual saturday class...so I will just suck it up, stretch real well, and hope for the best.

That would be a good topic for another thread Erin...what would you do if you won the powerball...Hmmm.

have an ear infection, and its been very hot and humid here. I have been hiding in the house.

What a great class for you TxBatman.

Dejibo: Ear infections are so very unpleasant I hope you get some relief soon! My PEdiatrician had my kids chew sugarless gum when they had bad colds. Something in it, not aspartame, I cant recll the word, was it xylitol? was found to help not turn into ear infex.

I swam a mile this morning befoe the big fire ball in the sky hit the pool

My muscles are sore from yesterday so I passed on working out today. This weekend I'll get to sleep late both days so I should get in one or two good workouts.

It's supposed to be only 68 degrees here tomorrow! And 71 on Sunday! Maybe I'll go for a bike ride.

I just got back from the treadmill. Seems like I can do a little more than a half hour before my eyes start feeling all blurry and gummy. I dont know if it's because I get no sleep due to the insomnia, or if it's an MS thing, or a combination of being tired and having a pseudo-ex happening.

Oh, and allergies. Ragweed has been very...ragweedy this week, and my eyes itch constantly! (thankgoodness for the Pataday eye drop samples my eye doctor gave me a few weeks ago when I saw him. yay!)

Too bad the eye drops do nothing for the congested feeling in my chest from the ragweed. I can feel a little clump of congestion in there and I'm hoping it doesnt get any bigger to make me miserable. I've never found a decent antihistamine that makes me feel better when the allergies hit. I usually just end up feeling stoned and congested.

So, I did a little over a half mile today. Re-reading a Stargate novel on the Kindle because Amazon hasnt Kindlized the other Stargate novels that I havent read yet. I just cant get interested in anything else to read for some reason. I do have Glenn Beck's "Common Sense", but I like reading that at home in my comfy chair while eating M&m's. (any fans of Glenn Beck show will understand the M&m's reference)

I'm going to start needing suggestions for reading material pretty soon to keep my brain occupied while treadmilling.

thats a nice workout Erin

I swam a mile this morning. It was so pleasurable.

walked a half mile today. I am wobbly and out of shape from hiding in the house for a week. funny how quickly we can lose the progress we made.
