Hi mickeys!
Lisa--super congratulations!! Way to go. I am so happy and proud for you!
We made it to Seattle a okay. The train was stuck on the tracks for an hour because a train in front of us someplace was having troubles. But the delay was fine for us. Catching a bus from the train station to the hotel was a bit of a rainy adventure but our room was ready when we arrived. We got registered and had some time for site seeing before the introductory meeting and ds2s first rehearsal. We had seen pike place market before but the other family from our church hadn't so it was fun to see things through their eyes.
Right now I am chaperoning a rehearsal. I signed up for 1.5 hours this morning and tomorrow morning. The kids's voices are incredible! I can't wait for the performance Sunday ! My plan is to go to the fitness room after this. Hopefully it will have cleared out by then! Eating will just be willy billy this wekend. Our room has no fridge so that is limiting. We did find a supermarket within walking distance so last night bought some bananas and other stuff. Plus I brought food so we have munchies. Gotta love almonds! Internet in the room costs $11, but this rehearsal room has it free! Hope to find other places within the hotel that are free, too!
Last night dh went to basketball awards And both ds earned most inspirational player awards for their teams.
. Ds1s team won their first baseball game earlier in the week. Ds2s games have all been rained out. He is a bit disappointed that he will probably miss the team's first game. But if the crummy weather continues that won't be a problem!
Only 20 more minutes left of my shift and I can go workout! Hope everybody has a super op weekend. Send in those weights!
Sounds like you're having a great trip! I love Seattle, it's my favorite place in the world.
Sorry, I haven't been on the in last few days. I've had some emotional ups and downs. I'm trying to get a photobook put together for my step daughter's birthday next month. Its been rough because I'm seeing pictures of my late husband that I haven't seen in quite some time. I had misplaced my photo albums and had been looking for them for over a year. Alan found them about a month ago when he was going through Rubbermaid bins in the garage. I'm hoping to get the rest of the pictures scanned into my computer tomorrow and have it completed and ordered through Shutterfly by the end of the weekend. I'm planning on making one for my in-laws of pictures of Maddie, they don't have many considering they'd only seen her twice in her short life.
However to end the post on a happy note my latest blog from Sparkpeople:
Sorry-- I lost part of your quote. That must be hard and congrats on your journey so far.
Well it's been one hell of a night here in the Blink house, hence the 3:30 am postings.
DS11 fractured his elbow while I was comatosed Thursday, and they all neglected to tell me DS was hurt until Friday afternoon his elbow was the size of a baseball and he couldn't bend it. So off to the ER we went after DH got home (drove from DC with a 101.1 fever).
Then as things finally settle down and I get DH cool enough to sleep, there was the now infamous cough from the other room. DS10 almost made it to the bathroom before getting sick but unfortunately he got the entire hallway carpet. I got that cleaned up and DS back in bed but I'm going to have to rip the carpet up tomorrow. I have no choice. Hopefully DH will be well enough in the morning to get to Home Depot and see if they have any remnant available.
So what next world?? Bring it on!!
Oh and the treadmill has been beckoning me every time I walk past to do the 8000 loads of laundry yesterday, but I'm just not feeling up to running.
Any ideas on how long I should wait? I still don't feel all that great but it could just be from cleaning up DS's mess. The biggest thing right now is my head and back are still hurting from being sick. I can't get to the chiro until at least Monday, if everyone is healthy.
Good lord--just concentrate on yourself for awhile--you can't take care of them until you are well.... I know how it is to hold off on exercise-- I feel guilty too--plus it's fun, but you have to take it easy.
HELP!!!!! I just can't lose any weight! I have been doing the elliptical religiously and adding in some other workouts. I've been drinking lots of water but the scale won't budge! I may be gaining muscle as I'm just getting back into things. Trying not to get frustrated! I have not done very well today, not horrible but I had some chips and dip with lunch.
While I was out doing an Usborne event in which I sold ONE book, Brian and the girls made me two Irish cream cheesecakes! They used light sour cream and light cream cheese but it also had sugar and of course the Irish cream. We each had a piece with light whipped cream on top. I am probably going to only eat a little epplant rollup for supper tonight. I am not having any adult drinks until next weekend! I instead had a maragarita flavored glass of Crystal light. It's pretty good even with out the tequila! I need to get back on the elliptical in a little while.
Ash just put in the
Disneyland Kinect Adventures game and Izzie is at our local 100th Girl Scout birthday party until 6. I did a run to the dump when I dropped her off and then we put some stuff in the attic!
I need to do well this week as I will be putting on a bathing suit and spending some time in a hot tub next weekend! I need to save up calories for the weekend.
I got up at 8 and with in 20 minutes I had a cold cut calzone and Brian's corned beef, potatoes, carrots and onions made and cooking. We had the calzone for lunch and he will have the corned beef for supper!
TTFN
Sounds to me like you're doing really good-- I dunno, maybe really up the water intake? I weighed in yesterday and was up a pound but my bmi was lower. I really love my new scale.
Happy St. Patricks Day! I have my corned beef in the crockpot too--well husband was kind enough to do that. I'm sick. Had a sore throat for days, then day before yesterday started getting aches, then yesterday was lightheaded and really achy-- a little sniffly. Last night I went from burning to ice cold all night and I slept till one today. I feel pretty good now, except for the sore throat--the aches are gone anyway. I should have probably handed off my shift to someone else but there's no way while I'm still walking that I'll give up a whole night with my friend....
Been downing vitamin c, echinacea, garlic, immune defense montages, zicam and gargling saltwater. I'm fighting! Today I rented a movie because I never cashed in my last weeks rental (for losing weight) and I'll watch it in bed lol--young adult-- my husband wouldn't be interested. He wants to go to Costco later and I think I can manage that but that's it. I mainly want to go so I can dress up in my Irish gear lol. No beer for me today...
quotd March 17 Saturday:-- what is your favorite song right now to exercise to-- or song that motivates you.
Mine right now is Slade--Run run away from the 80's. Second would be Queen's Bicycle Race.
Disney quotd: What is the most intriguing, unusual or off the wall thing you have encountered in the parks?
We met a president of Disneyland once. He sat down and talked to us about the pirates of the Caribbean-- my husband loves it--goes on it repeatedly (exasperatingly) They were about to remodel the ride I think and a castmember at a restaurant brought him over after we had talked to him for awhile.
It was Paul Pressler-- he was very down to earth-- very nice and took his picture with us. He had a meeting at the golden horseshoe next door with anaheim officials.
Thats absolutely fab

I would wait until you see you chiropractor on Monday and then ease back into activity. You keep your conditioning for two to three weeks so a little hiatus won't hurt your level. 
Did people enjoy the fish tossing? :swimming:
because I don't like being so close to that other number so I will be very, very good, I promise! 
I'll be glad when it is April and all I have to do is run like the wind! 
Quick drive by! T-2.5 hours to Cakeageddon -- 7 tweens with gallons of frosting decorating cakes in my dining room. They should have a great time. One has nut allergies and the decorating icing is not safe for her so I will have to be very careful that she has her own separate bags and tips to use. I think I have it all set up safely for her.
and 
with the scale. This week I have been swinging up and down 2 pounds DAILY. That is not normal for me-- usually I am pretty consistent. Not sure if it is the not being able to drink water or what. I am going to see what the scale says tomorrow.
