Hey Everyone!
My day was OK, but Charlie got so upset at work this afternoon, that his heart was racing and I thought he had an anxiety attack. I won't go into details, but it's amazing how people will throw someone "under the bus" if they get caught not having done something they were responsible for. And that in a nutshell is what happened, this person accused Charlie of not doing something important, when in fact this person had taken responsibility for it and had even written in an email they would take care of it. But, they didn't and when our boss found out, this person pointed their dirty little finger at Charlie, which was just so wrong. That was our afternoon excitement. At one point, I was pretty sure Charlie was just going to quit. So, work is still a bit like a roller coaster. At least tomorrow's Friday and we're off for the next 5 days......WOO HOO!
I didn't leave work until around 6 again, but headed directly to the gym. Rod had to work off those extra calories from last night's dinner (which I did so enjoy!). And since tomorrow is not a gym day for us, I worked out extra hard. I'm up to burning at least 1,000 calories per hour on the elliptical (or so the machine says), which is moving pretty hard! All I can say is thank goodness for the gym. No matter whether I have a headache, or am just frustrated, I feel so much better after a strong workout.
Macry, you are such a generous Aunt for sure. Before I lost my weight and worked so hard to stregthen my core, I suffered from lower back pain for years. I used to see a chiropractor as often as 3 times a week. And while I don't need a chiropractor anymore, I am a BIG believer in what they do. So, if your back is bothering you, I would highly recommend you seek a good chiropractor. Feel better soon!
Lorelei, I think your clothes comment was right on. I use clothes now more than the scale (which as you know is an evil device created to torment us mere mortals) to see how I'm doing.
Nice to hear from you Gail and I hope you have a fantastic holiday yourself. Sounds like you've got a good trainer who is offering good advice!!
CJ, when we were in Paris in 2001, one of the highlights of our trip was to purchase Jaeger LeCoutre watches. They're the Reverso Model, created for soccer players and the watch slides out of track and reverses to protect the crystal. We paid something like $1600 each (the Dollar was stronger then and I negotiated really hard for two watches) and when we came home we saw them in Nieman Marcus for around $5,000 each. So, I hope you can still get a good deal on Swiss Watches in Switzerland and it would be such a wonderful reminder of your trip!
Skippy wasn't your MRI scheduled for today? Glad you had a nice walk and of course your house cleaning counts as a workout!!
I'll check back in tomorrow night. Have a great Friday everyone!!
