(and before anyone asks, I am ordering new shoes, like right now!!) so, C25K for the week: 1/3. 
I am officially on the couch with my leg elevated and on ice until further notice. I am NOT happy.
. Hang in there. Any conclusion about what caused it? Uneven conditions, maybe? I'm not sure I could even EAT a dozen donutsAnd I know that I could never run 2 more miles and expect to keep them in
And the beer run?OMG. I'd be zig zagging all along the course. I'd run off the road, I'm sure
Has he mentioned any need to "check under the hood"?
Thank goodness you haven't killed anyone lately.Although, come to think of it....a good throw-down *might* be considered exercise?
Ugh. Be careful! Don't need you blowing away like something out of Wizard of Oz!
And they are well deserved too! You've been bustin' your butt bigtime!
I really am sorry. I pulled a hamstring on Christmas Eve about 7 or 8 years ago. I remember sitting in church with tears welling up in my eyes from the pain. It was simply awful.
That is such an important muscle to practically every movement your body makes. It's always "engaging" which makes it that much more difficult to try and rest it so that it can fully and properly heal. I know how hard it is for you to be couch-bound. Please take care of it.
What Color highlights does she have?? She didn't have any when she was a pup????
AMY that is great! Lab sounds cool we have talked about getting into DNA testing and all that stuff because The hospital well lab is looking into making more $$$. Keep us updated!
UMMM what time did you have your car worked on?
Are you tied down? I know that they have to have you tied or glued down because you don't sit still. Well I hope you get better soon my friend! You need to rest it!
Well I finally got the last of the christmas stuff put away! now just have to put all the NORMAL stuff back to wear it belongs!
OK off to eat lunch and get ready for work
It was a short visit.Tracking is easy for me as well, when I am on. I like knowing where I am for the day, so I usually enter everything in after lunch and then after dinner. Sparkpeople makes it easy, esp since I have been using it for a while and have imported any of my regular foods that aren't in their db.
Have you seen the doc? Is this enforced bed rest?
I don't think I could eat TWO donuts let alone a dozen. Donuts for some reason (on or off wagon) just sit like lumps in my stomach, give me a sugar aftertaste, and overall make me feel kinda icky.
I need to get my skates sharpened and want to at least log 30 min or so on them before the game Fri night. This is proving to be a difficult logistical thing as none of the rinks have weeknight skates, and I have a haircut appt at noon tomorrow. I may wind up doing an 8:15 open hockey practice tomorrow morning, which means leaving the house at 7:30AM...
Well then....
I would love to have my car worked on.
Hope you are doing well, Lisa.Today was Em's Valentine's Party. So she came home with these projects she did. One was a book. She's four, if you're keeping track at home.
Page one, My Daddy likes to Ice Skate.
Page two, My mommy likes to work, with a stick figure me with a laptop in front of me.
Page three, I like to Ice Skate with my Daddy.
So much for the loving, nurturing SAHM thing, huh?
Also, why must the Wii Fit make me fat around the middle? Why can't it make me fat where I AM fat?
Well, I can top Kat's temperature..It was 82 here today!!
Challenge Stuff for me:
C25K x 2 was a bust. I did do it once, but my shin splints were so horrible that I quit after one time through. I stretched and iced afterward, and ended up breaking out in hives on my left shin!
Tracking: I tracked today, so 2/3. Dinner was a little high since we had pasta and I ate more than I should have, but i was on the low side today for B and L so it all worked out. I did have diet soda today, but also drank all my water:
Also, LOTS of veggies with the pasta.
Booze: None.
Not much else to report. Delena has an appointment with the urologist tomorrow for a kidney ultrasound to make sure everything still looks okay after that infection she had over the summer.
Erika- I hope you are feeling a better soon. Rest!!
I hope everyone is having a good evening!
Hi All--I would LOVE to say that I rested all day. But no such luck. Tons and tons of stuff had to get done today...mostly kid-related. But I did go to the doc and got some wonderful, wonderful drugs. And finally, I am happily stoned on my couch.
I go the specialist tomorrow, so that will be where I get the real info. Right now, though, it is looking like rest and no being on my feet at all for 48 hours (I have crutches for getting around). He said that the tri in 3.5 weeks should be fine.
Thanks for the well wishes everyone! It was nice to come home to.
Amy--great news about the job potential. In this economy, that is really amazing news. I'll keep hoping for you.
Sorry for not responding to everyone. I just don't have it in me tonight.
Hey Amiee, Amiee, Am, where is my trip report? I so want to read about your upcoming trip!
And thanks - don't you love how kids see us?
LOL! I was in my 200s when I made mine and I looked like Violet Beauregard from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory after she turned into a blueberry!!
Liz, I do believe that you did grant permission to call you out when you referred to yourself as anything other than the fantabulous gal that you are! C25K x 2 was a bust. I did do it once, but my shin splints were so horrible that I quit after one time through. I stretched and iced afterward, and ended up breaking out in hives on my left shin!
'xcuse me? Stopping your run due to shin splints is NOT quitting. It's called listening to your body and exercising responsibly.

Can I just point something out here? We take away your alcohol, so no more drunken posting for you.But now what is this? You get yourself all hepped up on painkillers instead?

whoo boy. I really feel for the orthopedic Dr. I hope he's wearing protective gear if he tells you anything but good news!
Get one and laugh at your family!
No thanks! 
Yeah, I thought that was a good sign. If nothing else, I really enjoy spending time with him. He accepts me for me. I can be as direct and blunt as I want and he gets it.
On the jeans, Paula! And on the planned brownie - good job!
Lisa. Nancy. Yes you are right. But, ladies, I am a bit...padded in certain parts there! For real!
Now, 15 lbs ago? Nope, not fat.
I'm watching Nick do Wii Fit yoga. It's hilarious. Maybe I recommend this to anyone who isn't drinking? It's like being drunk!
Honestly, Erika. I'm only laughing because I am SO sure that you will do fine tomorrow. And that the Dr. will give you the go ahead for your upcoming tri.
That, and well, let's face it. Would ANY of us want to be the one that tells Erika she "can't"?
Actually, I don't skate with Em. Me? Ice skate? What am I, Kat?
Um, no. Mommy shops. Mommy cleans. Mommy uses her laptop! She got it right on the money! I'm not sad, for goodness sakes! I'm making fun of my oh-so-nurturing self!
Lisa. Nancy. Yes you are right. But, ladies, I am a bit...padded in certain parts there! For real!
"padded".
Ok - so yesterday during my training session, we were doing the leg press. The one where you are kind of in a reclining postion, pushing the weight load upwards. The trainer says "pull in those abs". I looked up at her and very indigently said "they ARE in. That's as IN as they go!"

Problem is, they love mocking too We are such a loving family

I LOVE mocking my family members.
AWESOME! And the brownie? Nicely done. 
'Cause I'm definitely "not it!"
