Work out Done!
I had a very tough 40 min. work out on my bike today! Put CC# 2 on and began my work out. I didn't think I was going to make it through Challenge 1, I started coughing like crazy due to this stupid nasal drip that runs down my throat and settles into my chest. I just kept on pushing, and before I knew it I was doing challenge 2!! After a short while I stopped coughing, and my chest felt open!!!! Went on and did Challenge 3!!!! Can't believe I did all that the way I was feeling when I started!!! I love the music on CC2, and I like the way Sean talks us through everything.

He is soooo right, If I didn't push myself I would not be feeling as good as I am now, and would not have had the Awesome work out that I did

Cardio done!!
Well today I did 15 mins. of cardio. I know its not a lot, but my nasal drip is really acting up today. My guess its from yesterday's work in the dust, and standing outside for 2 hours today to Vote. It's very damp here and the sun isn't out. So between the 2 things my sinus and drip are acting up.
Just glad I did something!!! It sure felt good too!
Thanks Alicia for getting back to me on the cardio question. Think I'm going to do my Biggest Loser dvd and increase the wts. as I go. Before I was really seeing a big change in the way my clothes were fitting and I need to get back to that place of good results. Might start doing the 15 mins of cardio after the BL workout. I'll see how I feel, and how it goes!
Hope you all got out to Vote today!!! How long did you have to wait? I'm so glad its going to be over after today!!!!! So tired of the whole thing. May the Best Person Win!!!!

I start Anew Tomorrow!!!
Well thank goodness I'm done with my end of the work in the bath room at least for now. Finished the sanding todayI'm soooo glad that part of it is done. Next step is for DH to paint the ceiling, and prime the walls. After that we need to get to the store and start picking out cabinets, and counter top, and facets. One step at a time. Just glad all this dirty work is done, and proud of myself for doing it!
Tomorrow I begin working out again Looking forward to some kind of cardio. Either bike, or treadmill. I'll see what I feel like doing tomorrow. My eating has been pretty good, except for Fri, and Sat. Really over did it and hated the way it made me feel
Haven't over ate like that in Months!!! Well that's behind me, and tomorrow is a new and fresh day Going to make the best out of it!!! Talk to you all soon.
Bye for now.

Updates
Hello to all my EP friends
I just wanted to say hi to you all, and let you know that I'm doing fine.
I haven't had any time to do a formal work out, but I have been super busy the last couple of days.
Today after Church DH and I took down the Big Wall Mirror above the sinks in my bath room. I taped it up and we wore heavy worker's gloves just in case it broke on us. I'm happy to report that it didn't break and my prayers were answered! Thank goodness my Son was home when we took it down, it was so Heavy we called him in to help. So now all I have left to do is take the wall paper down on that wall, and sand the wall. I should get that done tomorrow. So I have to get covered again in old dry plaster one more time. My poor sinus will be glad when I'm all done!!!
I also have some exciting news to tell you all. Thanks to my good friend Alicia (gettinfit) I just started my own Mary Kay business. I really got interested in it because of all that she wrote about it in her blogs! So I got in touch with her and we talked about it. I'm really excited, and looking forward to a Mary Kay career as a Beauty Consultant. Thank you so much Alicia for all your help, and friendship
So I need one more day off from working out until my part of the work for now is done. Hopefully I will get back into everything on Tues. I miss you all and am going to start reading some of your blogs. I don't know if I will get to everyone tonight, but I will catch up with you all during the week.
Bye for now.

One more day!
Well I got 99% of the walls done today!! Wow, what a mess!!! I was coated in white dust. Still have to take down a big mirror over the sinks and do that wall. That's going to have to wait until Mon. or one day next week. Don't have time to finish it this week. So happy the work is started and that part of the job almost done
Didn't feel like working out when I got done. The clean up took a lot of time and then I had to shower, so I just did active exercise today in the bath rm! Boy am I tired now!!!
We never lost our lights yesterday!!! So happy about that. Today the sun is out but its cold and windy at times. They closed all the schools yesterday. My goodness its only Oct!!!!
Ok, now I'm going to stop in and see how you all are doing. See ya soon!

Bath Room work
Hi All,
Today I set the alarm clock and got up early so I can get started with the Bath Room work. I will be so glad when this part of the job is done. Not looking forward to doing it. Worried that I 'm going to have sinus problems again after I'm done. All that dust that's going to come off the walls.
Have a mask to wear but I usually take it off. Makes breathing much harder, and it makes me so Hot. See how it goes.
I'll try and catch up with everyone later on, if I have time. If not than tomorrow.
See ya all soon.

Winter weather!!!!!
OMG, its winter here today. Very windy, rain, and ice!!!! Everything is covered with ice here!!!
Not going to be working in the bath room today. They are saying we might have black outs do to the wind, ice, and alll the leafs on the tree. Don't want to be caught in the middle of that messy job without being able to clean up.
So today just going to do cardio, look at my new sewing machine, and hope that the lights stay on!!!!
See ya all later.

Not today
Well I didn't get started in my bath room today after all. Looks like it will be tomorrow instead.
Was up all night. Fell asleep for 2 hours and than my dogs woke me up because they had to go out. Once I was up I couldn't fall back to sleep and when I did fall asleep I woke up again at 4:00. So I didn't get up until 9:30 today. Tomorrow is another day.!
Did some cardio on the bike today. Stayed on for 25 mins! So I'm getting use to it again. Taking it slow and enjoying the ride!
I'll catch up with you all when I get done with my blog. See ya soon

Day off
Today I took a day off from working out. I know after being sick for so many days I should have worked out, but I'm trying to set up a new program and Sundays I like to take off from exercising.
I got a lot done around the house today.
1. Wash is all done
2. Downstairs is cleaned
3. Went shopping at Walmart for things that I needed for a long time, like socks, slippers, etc. came home with a unexpected buy bought a sewing machine. I never knew Walmart sold them. They just redid the whole store and I'm finding nicer things being sold there now. I bought a Singer machine for beginners! I'm tired of hemming things by hand and often thought that maybe I would like to make curtains or something easy for a hobby. Got the machine at a good price. Only $99.00!! so that was a good buy!
The day went fast, and I'm kind of tired now. So I'm just going to curl up on the couch and watch the Extreme Home Makeover, and then Housewives. Its a good tv night for me!
See you all tomorrow. Oh maybe not. Going to start sanding down the bath room walls tomorrow. Hope I get it all done in one day. I should. Maybe I'll be online tomorrow anyway. I'll see how it goes.
Bye for now.
