Hi Kim!

Sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well....I hope it gets better for you soon. Kind of stinks that you have to travel under those conditions....hang in there and try to have a good week away. Make sure to keep drinking water/fluids so that when you get back at it, you'll be hydrated.

Have a good week!

I hope you are feeling better, Kim. I know that this thing I've got is just miserable. Feel better soon.

Have a safe trip to DC. I hope the week is productive. You are right, the walks count too.

Take care,
Beth

Hey guys. Thanks so much for the get-well wishes. I am feeling a little better. The nose issues have lessened, and it's more of a cough thing now. So hopefully I'm on the mend.

I made it to DC (thanks to the GPS ) and ate like a pig at dinner. Have any of you ever eaten at Texas de Brazil? It's a chain, but no where in the northeast (probably a good thing). They come around with skewers of meat & serve you as much as you want. (insert manly grunts here)

So, I get back to the hotel, and am ready to just lay around & watch tv (in peace) when my co-worker says she's gonna go to the fitness center. So...I go too. I figured I'd just walk, but it was actually harder to walk quickly than to run, so I cranked up the evil TM and ran 2 miles.

So, NOW I'm ready to relax for the rest of the night!

Thanks again, guys!

Hi Kim,

I'm glad to hear that you made it to D.C. safely and that you are feeling better. I hope you continue to feel better.

I think I have heard of Texas de Brazil before. It sounds delicious! I think they have one somewhere near WDW.

Good job on getting a workout in yesterday! Keep up the good work!

Have a great Tuesday!

I haven't eaten at Texas De Brazil, but at other places like it and YUM! I love it, but it's so expensive. I wanted to take my cuz when we visit him at Penn, but DH said that $50 is too much to spend on him

Good for you for getting a run in! Nice job.

Have a great rest of your time in DC

 

[ScoJo15]

Nice job there on the treadmill! It's tough to get workouts in during trips, and you did a run on the 1st day...nice work there Kim!

 

[traceycooper]

HI Kim
Glad you made it to DC safely & your feeling better
Never heard of Texas de Brazil!!!! Wish i had though - sounds yummy!
Well done for getting to the TM

You're right, Beki. I don't think I would have paid $50 either. Thankfully my co-worker had a 50% off coupon.

Tracy - you're right, there is a Texas de Brazil in Orlando.

Tonight we are going out (again) and then I'll be back in time to watch Big Brother. I'll be back at the gym on Wednesday.

 

[kmp1191]

Hey Kimmy!
Good job on the run after the big dinner!!
Have fun in DC and be careful!!!

Hi Kim

Hope your trip is going well . Good job getting to the fitness center at the hotel.

OMG...Big Brother! Can't wait to watch it tonight either. I know things aren't going to go the way I want them to. But there's always hope right?? I was pretty bummed that Jess and Eric were booted. Still in all I cannot wait to see what happens there!

And holy cow....the VMAs....you mentioned it in my journal. TOTAL disaster trainwreck. Wow. Britney...Sarah...goodness gracious. First MTV stopped playing music and that was disappointment...but at least their award shows were entertaining. NOW they messed that all up too!! What a joke. HUGE waste of TV watching time.

Ohhh and Survivor.....not too long now!!! Not that I'm a reality TV junkie or anything.

Have a great night

 

[kimwim8]

Not that I'm a reality TV junkie or anything.

You and me both, sister.

I'm watching BB now. YEAH they finally showed the sequester house. I've been waiting for that! And WOO HOO for Survivor. Then all I need is The Amazing Race and my life is complete (well, along with Grey's Anatomy and Biggest Loser). Yeah, I have issues.

OK, so early tonight I posted that I was going to the gym tomorrow. But I ended up going today after dinner. We ate Southern food for dinner, and I didn't stuff myself. It was only 6:30 when we got back to the hotel so I figured I'd hit the gym and walk off some calories. I ended up running after a mile (it felt like it would take forever by walking) and made it 3 miles. Maybe I need to permanently live in this hotel in DC.

I also did arm weights and squats tonight.

Right now, my feet hurt. Guess I haven't run two days in a row in a long time. I also think I'm due for some new running shoes.

Nite all!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Yeah, I have issues.
!

This says it all :

hi buddy!

 

[ScoJo15]

Hi Kim!

Wow! Nice work with the workouts while on your trip! And yes, shoes are usually the culprit when it comes to pains from running or walking...might be a good idea to go shopping

Big Brother!! While I feel sorry for Eric because I think if he would have been able to play his own game he would have been more successful, I have to say that a Dick & Dani final two sits alright with me. I do NOT like either of them, but at least we have two people who played the game in the finals. Nothing irks me more then when someone who did not do a thing all game (Jameka) makes it to the final and sometimes wins. I do have to say that I'm pretty tired of Dick's 12 year old attitude and Dani's constant whining and selfish immature behavior. At least this season was entertaining

Survivor looks like it's gonna be a good one, can't wait for that premiere...

Anyway...sorry to rant...hope you have a good day today!

 

[MIdanceMom]

Hi Kim,

Thanks for your post in my journal. You are the best.

You are doing an awesome job getting those miles in while in DC. Running instead of walking shows that you are morphing into one of those professional runners.

Have a great evening.
Beth

 

[kimwim8]

Jen - You are too funny. Always picking the positive out of my posts.

Scott - No need to apologize for reality tv talk here! I've actually been rooting for Dani for a while, even though her whining drives me crazy. And I would LOVE to see who the sequestered houseguests choose when they have to pick between Dick & Dani. My guess is Dani b/c she wasn't so rude to so many people.

Beth - professional? nah. But I appreciate the comment so much. I think out in the open air, I can walk forever without feeling the need to run. But that darn TM.... It's that mental thing.

Tonight...we're heading to dinner soon, and then I'm just gonna lay around & relax (and enjoy my quiet time ). Absolutely, positively no gym tonight.

 

[AmyBeth68]

Regarding BB...Sorry Kim and Scott.... I'm on the "anyone but a Donato" bandwagon. I used to respect their game play. And sure Dani has serious GAME...but I can't stand the idea that one of them will walk away with $$$. UGH!!!

It is VERY interesting this season for sure.

 

[kimwim8]

I'm on the "anyone but a Donato" bandwagon.

Well, my friend, your options are dwindling.



(you know I'm kidding with ya )

Do you guys read any of the spoilers out there? I know who won phase 1 of the HoH competition....
