Hi All - not much to report work-out-wise this week, as I had a close encounter with a kitchen knife last Sunday evening and ended up having to go to urgent care.
At least I had most of my cooking projects done! Typing has been a bit of a challenge, but I've adapted fairly quickly, thank goodness. I've done some N.O. dumps and body weight squats this week and not much else as I didn't want to make my wounded digit angry. Hopefully I can start picking up the pace this week-end.
Kate - Good to see you.
That's an impressive string of meditation - I wish I did a better job of keeping up with those sorts of things. Do you like PHA3? A check-in friend on another thread gifted me PHA2, which I've only done once so far.
Sherry - I hear you on 2nd day hair - I'm all about spritz, a little fluffing and that's all she wrote. I often wonder if these YT people really spend that much time on their hair and make-up in real life.
I still have Scott and Janis on VHS - I should hunt it down, as I used to enjoy that one. I had a bottle of Aura Cacia Chill Pill several years ago, but it met with a premature and untimely demise when it was dropped on the tile floor (barely used). I have their lavender and peppermint oils in the roller bottles and really like them. I always pack them when I travel - such a nice, comforting touch. Until I clicked on your link, I didn't realize they were related to Frontier Co-op - my spice cabinet is full of their products. My sleep has been the pits the last couple of weeks and I have no clue why.
Pam - I would imagine you'll get in some functional fitness hanging out with the girls today.
Your PT sounds like a winner - looking to connect the dots to get to the source of the problem. I'm glad you enjoyed the Essentrics workshop - would like to do one of those some day. When there's a lot of sickness going around, I usually include the alcohol towelettes in my back pack and wipe down my airline seat, seat belt fasteners, tray table, etc. Hawaii sounds wonderful at this time of year.
Pat - Congratulations for getting your car loan paid off!!!
Life without a car payment is a wonderful thing. I love the ocean when it's stormy, but imagine what a dermabrasion you would've gotten with sand blowing at 70 mph - OUCH!! Back many millions of years ago when I was still in school, two friends and I were caught off guard by a storm that blew up when we were walking on the beach about a mile from where we were staying. We joked about it being Shake and Bake night - we were encrusted with a layer of sand when we got back inside! I wonder how NaturalLove and her little Peanut are doing - and whether there might be another Peanut added to the family by now.
Margot - Welcome home! I'm glad you were on the "just normal cooties" flight versus the bad bugs, although that isn't fun, either, when you're trapped at 30,000 feet surrounded by coughing, sneezing, nose-blowing, etc. I was the only non-sick person at urgent care, but at least the receptionist slapped a face mask on all the sickies who walked in in an attempt to reduce exposure (you can definitely argue over the efficacy of basic masks, but I appreciate her efforts). I came home and started loading up on all sorts of remedies/supportive supplements, continued it throughout the week, and so far so good. Did you download Mimi's newest from Vimeo? I've never purchased through Vimeo, but it looks like a good deal. And I
Mimi.
It is chilly today, so I'm heading for a fresh cup of hot tea.
