The elliptical or arc trainer is my first choice but I cannot grab anything with my rt hand until mid next week. I love running. I smoked for 18 years and couldn't. The fact that I am able to now is such a high.
BTW 80-85 is very good. I am usually happy to keep it a 75 when I used that type of elliptical.

Evil cat is plotting evil things, that is what evil cats do. They twirl there mustache and laugh to them selves evilly.
The only thing I fear when I am here alone is the evil cat!

I actually do not hold onto the handles on the elliptical, I either run it free handed or I off and on hold onto the stationary handles on the front. I started doing that when I started weight training to give my arms a break.

I am finding that when I try to fun I want to die. Not the most pleasant feeling in the world. I will try to get better at it but I don't want to hurt myself.

Congrats on quitting smoking, that is a great accomplishment.

Evil cat just wandered past...

I am upstairs being protected by Harold the non-evil cat.
Evil is looking at me from thwe hallway like she wants to do something but knows Harold will stomp her.
I do not have the balance yet to do the elliptical free handed for any length of time.
One up on me there.

Evil likes to walk close to me and 'pretend' she likes me...I don't buy her crap anymore...

Roger loves to beat on her, it is better than TV

It took me a while to get the balance thing down and I still hold the stationary handles quite a bit...

I am sure you can one up me in lots of ways...

Wife is home now. Evil cat is sedated for now.

I think you got me hands down in fitness and overall conditioning. But that is a discussion for another day.

Nothing sedates the evil one in this house...

Anytime you want to have that discussion, give me a shout

Well, today is better.
Weather is beautiful, it is Friday. Good weekend planned with the wife- nothing outstanding but just spending some time with her.

Work is annoying but I have the capacity to tolerate more on Friday than any other day. I will most likely be leaving early.

I ate around 300 more calories or so last night which brings the total to around 2800. This is a better number for me since it gets me over 2000 with the running I did yesterday. I still want to WT, really want to. I know I cannot and I hate whining about it but oh well.

Hopefully today is not annoying...
I mean I know it will be but I hope it is that amusing annoying not the piss me off annoying.

Probably going to do insemination on Wednesday/Thursday next week. Fingers are crossed that this will work but really I do not have any faith anymore in the process. Going through the motions hoping but not expecting a positive result. But we do not want to stop because this time may be the time.....


Oh well.. got a bit down with that last part.

Good luck with it...

good luck with that for sure

i hope it goes well...

glad to hear that things are better today, they seem to be for me also.

Thanks Mal and Ali.
It will be what it will be. That is the attitude we have embraced after all this time.


Good days are good. Especially Fridays. There is not anything I hate more than having a bad Friday. Well... that is a lie but there is nothing I can think about now that I hate more.

If annoying office girl would leave I would be in heaven......

Maybe you should embark on a campaign to make her leave (inset evil laugh here)...

Shit, I'll pick her up and put her in her car if I get the support of management.

You know those people who intentionally talk loud so all can hear them? She is that plus insecure about everything, thinks she is funny, and speedwalks around the office all the time and does not know how to walk so she clomps.
Most irritating thing is either myself or her are the first here in the morning. So I have to deal with her all frickin day and she needs to talk to someone to validate her existence so she talks to me in the morning...
1130 now

She sounds like a PEACH

I hate people like that...there are some scary negative vibes going around my office so I have been in hiding...makes me glad I have a door on my office.

How's it going otherwise?

In general good.
I am determined to change the bandage on this thing today, just got back from buying all I think I will need.
TMI I know but oh well. You asked.

Just waiting for the end of the day. Probably another hour an a half here.

You still doing good?

Bandage changing sounds like a good time - I still have a little over two hours to go and I just received documentation in the mail that just messed up my afternoon - I wrote a submission for the court on one of my files and now I have to essentially re-write 30% of it. Ack.

So aggravating. Again, WHY CAN PEOPLE NOT FOLLOW COURT ORDERS???

Ok, I feel better now
