lmao! Gosh darn phone! What can I say? I was so excited that I had to type it twice. Yes, 32 lbs.

Thanks Nancy! We need to get the other Goddesses back on the thread too.

Happy Midday!

I walked for an hour early this morning and I feel great. I'm feeling quite blessed that I am able to rock on weightloss right now. So many things are happening at work and in my personal life. But hey, I just keep swimming!

Moving on, some of you know that I will be participating in a GKTW Power of 10 fundraiser starting in October. Since there are some great September deals, I decided to open an event for the rest of September. PM me for a link to my website - 100% of my commission will go to GKTW. Also, I posted the info on my facebook too.

WORD!

Awesome early-morning-crack-of-dawn bike ride this morning. Cool, crisp fall weather here. I even had to break out the cold weather gear! Long pants, jacket, full-finger gloves..the works! But it was so worth it.

Followed by an insane day at work. Two words: apple season Holy shmoly! I don't know where all these people are coming from. And the number of NEW customers is mind boggling. Every phone call ends with "ok, and where exactly are you located?" Just keep swimming, indeed EE!

But - after dinner out at our local pizza place and a couple of Sam Adams Octoberfests I'm in a much happier place

Gah...just spent a miserable day on the couch b/c of so much pain in my foot. I THINK it's b/c they are dying, but I guess it could be getting infected too? It needs to get better!!! I have two weeks until we are supposed to go on our weekend trip, just Rey & I!

 

[adsrtw]

Karen - foot infections can be bad. Is it red and hot to the touch? If so, you might have an infection. I hope it gets better soon!

I'm finishing an essay on Yeats and why he is a literary leader. Better than I expected.

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

I don't think it's infected, it's not hot to the touch, just sore. I figured out that the treating it is what was hurting, so if I only do that at night, it only hurts at night and then feels better during the day. I'm just hoping that treating it only at night will still get rid of it!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

I have never in my life looked so forward to a MONDAY as I am right now. So, yesterday I told you how insane work was. It was CALM compared to today I'm exhausted. Tomorrow thankfully I don't have to go in until noon, so there I have a fighting chance of getting some grocery shopping done in the morning <sigh>

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Karen, have you gone to the doctor about it yet, I think it may be time to go.

Nancy, did you get to the store yesterday?

EE, Way to go on 32#.. You are Rocking it for sure!!!

I did 3.5 on Firday 4 on Sunday and now I am having issues with my left instep. What the heck....

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Yes Jo I did. I managed to get the groceries home and the cold stuff put away before I had to go to work. The rest of the groceries just got unloaded this morning. Is it Columbus Day yet?

Raining this morning. No bike ride - so a quick trip to the gym for me before work.

Oh - and sick kid Which is particularly bad because she was supposed to have exams in both chemistry and psychology today

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

sorry she is sick.
Just keep swimming Nancy!


3.5 miles last night, my foot is there but its ok... looking forward to getting back on a training plan.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

ohmygoodness! We've all gone totally MIA!

busy beyond belief here. I've got my eyes firmly focused on Columbus Day. If I can make it that far, I *think* I'll be able to survive anything


We're headed to Long Island this afternoon to visit Nate for Parent/Family Weekend.

 

[3DisneyKids]

Wow. So this is what the thread looks like....

 

[AKASnowWhite]

E! Nice to see you

We need to pull out the paddles and jumpstart this baby again

 

[Ronda93]

What happens Columbus Day? It sounds magical ; )

Ronda

 

[AKASnowWhite]

No, nothing magical Ronda It's just that the "peak" apple picking season is Labor Day thru Columbus Day. 6 weeks of pure he!! at work. After that, it returns to a much more managable pace.

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Well, now I don't feel guilty for not checking in since no one else did!

Busy fall stuff here too, foot is better, but has a scab, so I'm forcing myself to hold off on running until it's totally healed. Next weekend Rey and I are headed out for our weekend alone, so I seem to be absorbed in that right now!

 

[adsrtw]

I'm here, just having a very crazy week at work.

 

[Ronda93]

CLEAR!
I'm on track with my marathon training for the Mickey in January. Eight miles planned for tomorrow. I registered for the St Louis RnR half last night. It's October 23.

DGF is in St Louis right now. She and her brother went over yesterday for an uncle's funeral. There's another funeral for an aunt tomorrow. Lousy time.

We are currently fostering a shelter dog. She is a puppy mill rescue and really warming up to us. Still can't get her to move on a leash, but keep working at it.

The weather has been spectacular. It's a big event weekend around town and the weather is going to be wonderful.

[HockeyKat]

Ronda, what does your plan look like? I am considering starting marathon training for a Feb 12th marathon in Jacksonville FL (since I am registered already!).

Tomorrow is likely 12 for me. I might do 14 but I will see how I feel - we are meeting to do 4 extra at 5:15AM and then will do 8 with the group at 6:30, and then some are doing 8 more but I may only do 2, will have to see how I feel.

Looks like it will be raining again, too. Whee.
