Kim's new and improved life journal!

[kimwim8]

Morning!

G-mom made it through the surgery very well yesterday. They did not put the plate in that they expected to. They said something about the fact that she has diebetes & she's at a higher risk for infection if the plate was in there. So I'm glad they made the decision not to do it. She's in a splint for a week or so, then the hard cast. I'm not sure at what point they'll move her to the rehab facility. I'd assume they'd wait til her hard cast was on...but who knows!

Thanks again, everyone for your prayers, pixie dust and well wishes.

Back to running today at lunch. I just didn't have it in me yesterday, mentally.

Hope you all have a great day!! 2 more days til Nancy shows me week 3 of maintenance and switches up the food again! I'm really loving the variety!

Good morning sunshine!
Well i just wanted to pop on here and say hi since i teach today and then were going to the travel agent, so i wont be home til a bit later..
I hope you have a great day today and i will talk to you soon!

 

[keenercam]

Good morning, Kim! How are you doing today? I am glad your Gmom's surgery went well. I hope her recovery is going well, too.
Gee, if you find a supplier for the nutritionist, personal chef, nanny and personal trainer, would you let me know? That's what friends are for, right? Speaking of which, thank you so much for your support in my journal. : I really appreciate it and am hoping to be able to spend more time here supporting my WISH buddies, too.

Your 2 mile run sounds great! Keep up the good work! Have an awesome Wednesday!

Morning all!

I don't know what's wrong with me, but I can't seem to get out of bed to work out anymore. I am hoping to get the Biggest Loser workout done tonight...but who knows. I think we are dying eggs.

Oh, and about the nutritionist/trainer/nanny/chef/trainer...

I'm sure we could get someone to be that for all of us & we split the cost. I figure for around-the-clock services and travel expenses....we'd only have to put in about $100K each (probably wouldn't even last us a year)...whaddya say? You in?

 

[mrsschlep]

Kim I'm glad you grandmom's surgery went well. I hope her recovery goes well too!! Hey count me in for the nutritionist, nanny, chef, trainer, ... That sounds like a great deal!!LOL All I need is one day a week and I would be so much more sane!!

Oh and the BL workout...I did it for about 3 weeks and then just stopped. I'm not sure why but trainer Bob really knows how to kick my butt and work muscles I didn't even know existed!! I'm sure that had something to do with it!

Hope you have a great day!

Hi Jessi - thanks for stopping by!

G-mom is doing good. Tomorrow she will be moved to a rehab/nursing home facility until she's up & around enough to go back home (several months, we think). As of today, her dr. isn't sure which facility that will be, as the preferred one is full....but we'll see.

I went for my weigh in with Nancy today & stayed the same again from last week (good news!) I only had 2 runs this past week, and no other workouts...so I'm definitely gonna try to pick that up this week.

I can now have another dairy item...so that makes 2 dairies per day. The only other change is that I can have pork as a protien choice once a week. I've been thinking about a nice pork roast in the crock pot...so sometime next week that's gonna happen!

It's actually sad how much I'm looking forward to Sunday's eat-fest. I know that I'm supposed to be a reformed eater and enjoy my heathly lifestyle...and I do. But when I can have so many of my favorite foods at one time.....I'm ashamed to say it is something I look forward to!!

I hope you all have a GREAT weekend (I'm off tomorrow & having a mommy/DD day) and I'm sure I'll be checking in over the weekend.

Kim,

Just wanted to stop in and say hello! Glad to see your g-mom's surgery went well and nice to see that she is progressing along!

Enjoy your mom/dd day...those are some of my favorite times, the ones that you get to spend alone with your child with nothing else in the way!

have a good weekend and congrats on the non-weight gain!

100K......hhhmmmm.....it would be SOOOO worth it....don't you think? as long as HE doesn't speak much english....i can do with him what i do w/ Bob...sit and watch him do the work w/ the mute button pushed!! lol

glad g'ma is doing good. hopefully they will have an opening in the "good" rehab place. Have fun w/ your mommy/daughter day....i want a mommy/daughter day...........of course i'd have to drive 500 miles to get to my mom.....(my daughter is mad at me today....and everyday.....oh well!)

later

Thanks Scott & Marie for your support! You guys are a huge help to me in so many ways!

I finally did the Biggest Loser workout today. I did the high intensity cardio workout...and that name suits it well! Holy cow was that a good workout! I'm really glad I did it. I needed that boost.

Tomorrow morning I'm gonna go for a run before DH leaves for work. Then DD and I will be bringing DS to daycare...and then we're off. I can't wait to spend some time with her.

One of the places we're going tomorrow is the jeweler to get my engagement ring resized to fit my finger again!!! I haven't been able to wear it since January. I can't wait to wear it again!

I hope you all have a good day tomorrow!

Marie - Let's call him Sven. I'll take him on Mondays and Wednesdays. What days are good for you?

Does Sven have any sisters that may provide the same services?
I'm sure Sven is great but my idea of relaxing by the pool and having a mixed drink delivered to me involves something tall, blonde and with a Swedish/Norwegian accent

Scott - I checked with Sven...and he said his sister Inga is available to help you out! Bonus for you...she also enjoys running...and will run with you to carry your water bottle! (sorry, that's the best I could come up with )

Em and I had a great day today. We did some shopping and some errands. I didn't get to the jeweler...so that will have to wait for another day.

I did run this morning around my block again. 2.2 miles in 24 minutes...so that was a great time. I felt great doing the couch-to-5K program (week 4). I will be doing day 3 of week 4 tomorrow, and then will start week 5 on Monday or Tuesday (not sure of my running schedule next week).

Jen - I forgive you!!

 

[toystoryduo]

Hi Kim!

I'm glad you and Em had a great day together!

If Sven has any open days, feel free to send him over!

Have a great weekend and a Happy Easter!

P.S. How is your grandmom doing? We're keeping her in our thoughts and prayers.
