Finished the Minnie 5k and now attempting the Princess 1/2 - Am I nuts!?!

[Caitsmama]

Thanks guys! Wow.. runners knee huh? LOL I feel so "athletic" LOL!!! I will definately do some exercises for it, and i iced it after my w/o.. I don't really xt right now, as on my days off i usally just walk.. I am starting yoga next month with my MIL i think.. I am reading a yoga book she gave me too, to learn some good poses..
I honestly don't have the extra cash to join a gym, or anything.. So, whatever i do, i have to do it with my resources - aka free.
We'll see how the knee goes..

Hi everyone! Not much to report today - didn't really do much.. Trying to get ready for a Breast Cancer benefit that i am selling at this Sat. Still have alot to do for tomorrow.. i am a total procrastinator!! But, i also work well under pressure.. which is totally the opposite from the rest of my family! (Sorry Barb, you know it's true!!)

My knee seemed somewhat better today - but i am doing W3D2 tomorrow, so we'll see how it goes..

I will tell everyone -- i treated myself to that cute lil' white number (white workout tank) at the surf shop near me.. she gave me a heck of a deal on it! It's good to know other store owners!! LOL So, i will slip into that for my workout tomorrow!

Stacie -- if you read this - thanks for listing Amy's design site for me, i found some great designs that i asked her to personalize for my cruise in Dec. She is very talented!!

Hey girl. GREAT job with the pants!! LOVE it when that happens. I think your goals are completely doable as far as weight loss. But even if the scale doesn't budge as much as you're hoping for....if you keep up the c25k and the extras you're doing...you'll be a fitter, healthier person no matter what.

Have a GREAT weekend, and thank you so much for all of your support on my journal.

 

[postesf]

Hey Stacy! Sounds like a busy weekend coming up!!! Hope all goes well!

I'm such a procrastinator too! Except when it comes to Disney planning! lol

Yeah, Amy does have some cool designs. She just did one for me for my inlaws anniversary. They are going to Disney and as a Suprise we are sending them on a Wishes cruise!!! (I'm making it into a card) My SIL printed out one of the names designs with cars characters looking through for my nephew. They are going in January. It turned out soo cute! I'm not sure if it was or patsdesigns.com (Pat) or Amy, but she also had one made for all 3 of them to match and wear one day. It has the castle in the background, some of the main or popular Disney Charachters and it says Poste family trip 2008. I'm suprised my BIL agreed to wear it. He's not into the Characters too much... We are going in May for our anniversary (along w/ the rest of the fam!) and Amy has one that says "Today is my anniversary/birthday..., Feel free to treat me like a princess" I think I will get that one and make into a t-shirt and wear the day of our anniversary. WOW---that was probably way more than you wanted to know! Sorry! When I start talking about Disney, sometimes I can't stop! lol

Once you get your designs made, post some pics so we can see! how fun!!

Glad to hear you knee is better! Take care of it!!!

Hope you have a great weekend!
Stacie

Hi! Just checking in. I wanted to thank you for all of your support. Good luck with the benefit and have a great weekend!

Hi everyone, not much to report.. didn't do anything yesterday - was supposed to do W3D2, but we had the oil guy coming,and he had to get to the furnace, which is right next to the TM - and i didn't feel like scaring him when he would walk in on me sweating my "you know what" off.. LOL So, i will be doing W3D2 tonight.

I am on my way this am to set my mom up to do that event for me, then i gotta work at my store, b/c my help called in sick today.. So, there goes the day off.. All part of being your own boss i guess.. So, my loving mom agreed to do my 3 hour Breast Cancer event, and sell my tables there.. and then i will be at the store.. so i can check on and DIS with you all later. My helper agreed to work tomorrow instead if she is feeling better, so i will get tomorrow off..
And i have made an executive decision to close my store on Tuesdays also (closed only mondays now) til the spring.. So, at least now, i will get 3 days off.. (one of the PERKs of being your own boss..) So, i can work 4 days, and then my niece will work one weekend day, and then i will be having every monday and tues off.
I have lots of shows/events booked on the weekends (oh, and WDW trips/cruises) so i am excited..

Talk to you later!! Oh, did i mention, i got my dd's cold, and it is kicking my "you know what" also.. i feel very yucky.. So, working out tonight ought to be fun...but i want to do it.

Hey Stacy--sorry to be MIA from your journal this week...it has been a very busy week. You are doing so great with the c25k program. You are going to totally rock that 5k in May.

As for the knees, I had knee problems for years when I was growing up. The doctor always told me that I needed to strengthen the muscles. I started doing a variety of different exercises to strengthen and lo and behold the knee pain disappeared. Every once in awhile now they will be sore, but the bad pain I used to experience as a kid is gone. So, you may want to do some strength exercise, it may just help.

WTG for buying that exercise top...I love treating myself to a new running outfit every now and then! We do deserve it!

BTW-what type of store do you own?

Keep up the good work!

 

[toystoryduo]

Stacy,

I hope you are feeling better soon. My DDs always share their colds with me.

I'm glad to hear you got that running top and a discount too!

Hope you have a great Sunday!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Hi Stacy,

Wow you are doing awesome with your goals, I am super impressed! I hope your cold is better, gotta love it when the kiddos share their illnesses with the mom's! I hope you got some time to rest this weekend to get over that cold. Here's to a great week, and thanks for visiting my journal lately, I really appreciate it (and making a new friend on WISH is always nice).

Sorry you had to work yesterday, major bummer!

 

[kimwim8]

Hey girl. How cool that you can make your own schedule. I envy that.

I'm sure you totally ROCKED that W3D2 run today. Good idea not running in front of the oil guy. I wouldn't have been able to do it either, and my focus would have been on "when is he coming" instead of getting into the zone.

You're really doing great with the c25k program. I might be jumping back on that whenever I can finally run again.

Take care, and have a GREAT week.

 

[Caitsmama]

Good early morning guys!! I am still very sick.. needless tosay i haven't done my W3D2 yet, I may attempt it today.. but honestly not sure yet. My sinuses are killing me, and my face feels like it weighs 100 lbs. I am just so tired.
I have today and tomorrow off, thank God, to rest up.. But, i am also mad b/c it is throwing off my training schedule..

I promise i will be back on later to catch up on missed journals..
Have a good monday!

 

[toystoryduo]

Hope you feel better soon, Stacy. Please be sure and drink plenty of fluids and get lots of rest.

 

[postesf]

Yuk! Sorry you feel bad!!! You'll get back on track! Make sure to take care of yourself!!! Don't overdo it!

I must say, I am envious of making your own schedule too!!! That does give you time to rest up! Take advantage!!!

Hope you're feeling better soon!!!

Stacie

 

[geminibl]

GET BETTER SIS !!!!!! you sound sooooooo stuffed up and congested on the phone. get rest and don't try to take on too much (u always do!) it won't do you any good if you don't rest!! love ya!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Stacy, it sounds like you have a humdinger of a sinus infection! Drink lots of fluids and rest up! I hope you feel better very soon. Don't worry about your training, it will happen when your body is better. Hang in there.

 

[Caitsmama]

Hi guys.. I am feeling a lil' better today.. I think i should be fine to train tomorrow am, depending on sleep tonight .
Back to work tomorrow.. Then i have Sat off to help at my church's fall festival.
Tomorrow is DH's bday (34!) and we are going out to eat for dinner at Pub 99 with his parents. Hopefully, i will get my appetite and my sense of taste back by then. LOL
Talk to you tomorrow!

 

[kimwim8]

I'm so glad you're on the mend. I think you did the wise thing by resting up. Training will be there as soon as you're ready. Funny thing about running....you kinda need to breathe. Don't worry about losing ground - your body will surprise you.

Happy bday to your DH!! (I'll be the same age as him in December ). Time just freakin flies by, doesn't it?

Have a great time!

 

[momof2minnies]

Hi Stacy,
Sinus infections are the pits!It is very difficult to keep up an exercise program when your head is all stuffed up.I am glad you are on the mend.

Hope work went well and happy bday to your husband.

Are you going to the 99,you guys must call it the 99 pub.The turkey tips are to die for MMM!MMM! I am hungry can you tell?

Linda
