We go thru a phase with Caitlin every year, she is very bright, but see's school more of a social place sometimes. The teachers and us know she can do the work, but if she's not interested in an item she takes the easy path. Now if she gets interested in something then she digs in.

She was an early reader and does great with her reading level and writing of stories, but math dosent interest her and she lags behind in her math facts.

Sounds just like my DD when she was at school! She 'decided' early on that she wasn't good at mathematics and set her sights accordingly. However, she blew her cover when she got top marks in a public exam! Sadly, she couldn't be persuaded to study it further but very much regrets that now... Shoulda listened to her mother...

Tonight I took the easy path. Breakfast for dinner,
Ham and cheese olmets Toast and Bacon

And I just had dinner for brekkie! Had a leftover piece of steak from last night so just ate that with some mushrooms...

Anybody have the energy for me tonight to hop on the treadmill??? I'm beat!

Here ya go...

UGH..........I've been trying to pep talk myself into getting back in the workout habit so I won't be much help to you. If you actually have been getting on that treadmill then more power to ya!

I know it's v difficult to find a way of fitting it into your life when you work. I can't exercise in the evening - it makes it too hard for me to relax at bedtime. I'm off to the gym at midday for a personal training session - missed Monday's as my trainer wasn't well so I'm keen to get on with it today...

 

[CustardTart]

HEY I GOT 1,800!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOH!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CustardTart]

Speak for yourself I live on Wysteria Lane...LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

And which inhabitant are you exactly..????????

Getting sidelined wasn't the worst part, Due to it, I ended up putting back on the weight I lost. I am so pissed at myself, but I still can't bring myself to start it again.

Sorry to hear that Ed! I definitely know how that one goes! I hurt my back on an elliptical trainer a few years ago, didn't let it heal properly and ended up seriously damaging both hip ligaments. Needless to say that put me out of action for a long while sooo all muscle turned to flab and the lost pounds piled back on - really made me ... It took some really yukky vacation photos to get me back in the gym...

 

[CustardTart]

Oh my gosh the cornholeo comment is too funny. DH does the best interpertation of Beavis and Butthead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think we need to see that...

Wow! Can't believe how active this group has been while I've been away from the boards. Good luck to everyone with their New Year fitness goals - I've really got to knuckle down now. My dd and ds go back to school today after the Christmas break - Sophie is not looking forward to it at all. She had a terrible year coping with school after my dh died, but seems to be happier now and her grades are getting back to normal - fingers crossed.

I'm the opposite - I can't workout first thing in the AM. I just can't get it going until the sun gets warm!

It was still 60 degrees in NJ after 9PM so I just went for run outside. My knees are killing me this morning though.

WOOOH!!!!!!!!!!

Way to go

This is getting to be a habit between us, either you or I get the oo number and the other one posts right before or after it

I know it has been kind of FUN!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kritter]

Yes. This is going to get interesting. I wonder if he and Edie will end up back together.......... Thank goodness our lives aren't as tv.

I kind of hope not I like Gabby!!!!!!!!

 

[kritter]

Can I bribe him to do it on the cruise for us?! I'll buy him uh, maybe, uh CRAPPUCCINO!

Will not need to bribe him once he has a drink or two in him he'll do it no questions asked!!!!!!....

 

[kritter]

The unit we have is too small to fry a turkey. It is one of those counter top ones I have a Tfal unit , with a built in filter and oil storage area.

Sounds, wonderful that has been something that I think we will have to get one down the road!!!!!!

In my town there is a Wisteria Lane. I died laughing the first time I drove by it and saw the street sign.

Hi Joan! Samuel went back yesterday - the house seems all kinds of quiet without him tho' I've still got my ladydogs for company...

That's terribly sad about your DH - and so tough for the children. My DH's father died during the summer hols when DH was 12 and he says that the second year of senior school was something of a blur. Looking at his old reports, its obvious his grades/behaviour definitely suffered... Best wishes to Sophie - fingers crossed her day goes OK...

I got two items for the house for christmas, one was the Fryer, the other was a Kitchenaid Stand Mixer. I had wanted both for a while


It's funny, we don't really need either, but they are nice to have, and I am glad we got them.

 

[kritter]

I meant to say, I received a new piece of exercise equipment yesterday and I thinks it's excellent. It's a Rock n Roll stepper and it's got a smooth silent rolling action that means you can really bob around on it... Easy on the knees too...
