Happy birthday Dulcigirl!!
Busy day exercise wise here. Worked all day except for a short exercise break spent logging miles on the bike. Came home and spent 20 minutes on the shovel and sculpt task before hitting the treadmill for 3.5 miles.
Ready for that margarita Blessings!

Margaritas - my favorite way to rehydrate
None for me tonight though 
Walked the dogs and did some pushups, a 90 second plank, and free weights at home.

(((Warrior))) Let your body guide you.
(((Cheryl))) Hope your cupcakes are easing the pain in your back!
Beautiful picture Mary. So peaceful! Tell dh I'm thinking about him.
Love your pictures Ruth!
Happy Birthday Dulci! I like the way you party.
Blessings: Now that's the way to rehydrate!
Keep coming back Pat!
LilacBlue: So glad your dh has excellent care.
Welcome all! It didn't snow last night so I was able to walk/run this afternoon in 32 degrees with blue skies overhead. Felt good!

Wonderland - I forgot to ask you... did any of your Girl Scouts get a supply of Gluten-Free cookies? I heard from a Facebook friend that there were test markets to see if they would sell. I bet they would!

Warrior: When I went through treatment my Onc said to 'take rest when your body tells you'. I think your 18 hours of rest was definitely called for - and it gave your body a chance to renew and process the medicine most effectively for you!
Ruth: You guys make this Wednesday habit seem like a vacation - love the photo - everyone is so happy! Is everyone in the photo a bc survivor?
Fitness reporting: 16.25/off/9.5/10
I was off Monday, but it was an emotional day. I was setting up a campaign website to try and help save those dolphins - lot of tears involved. I was exhausted on Tuesday but knew I needed to workout to release the stress. I'm glad I did - it helped me refocus and calmed me down.
Hope everyone in the vortex right now is doing okay and not experiencing too many inconveniences.

Good morning all! Got in 4.25 miles treadmill walking/runnin this morning plus lower back, abs and stretching.
I apologize for my short posts lately. Workload is horrendous right now and I'm barely managing to stay on top of things at home enough to have food in the house and clean clothes to wear.....whine, whine, whine!

I am going with the theory that the cold keeps us well-preserved......like the perfectly preserved wooly mammoths found frozen in the ice.
Inspired, the group I walk with are all retired teachers (which is why we walk at 8 am on Wednesday, when all our working teacher friends are starting their school day.....yes, we are rubbing it in
). By coincidence though, 3 of us in that picture have had BC, and the others have had their own challenges as well (as does anyone who lives long enough). No subbing today, so happily back to my classes. Tomorrow I am 'teaching' 7th grade Science.....the teacher has a very naughty last period study hall.....can anyone think of a fun inside game for about 25 kids (that does not involve throwing anything)?
0 -
could you get several decks of cards and have them break into small groups and work on building the tallest card house? Of course...they could end up throwing the cards. Lol.

And where is hooping Ann..missing you Ann! NatsFan/Mary beautiful photo, - looked like a winter lovely run and glad I could inspire you for a change. Hope your DH moves out of the pain in the most forward recovered way. I'm still game thinking Ruth and might have something when my boy is home from school. Wonderland, are thin mints sill around and no GS cookies over here, which actually is a good thing as I love em. Have a presentation to do at Rotary this evening. My partner in PRP has to teach, so it's just me (we usually do these together) and I have new flyers to hand out. They have been supportive of our Pink Ribbon Pilates that is free to the women who attend and were pretty sure they will continue to be.
Body balance at the gym and pink ribbon pilates at our new location this morning with two new women joining us!

Absolutely no study hall suggestions...not one!!!!
Rather ticked off at the local snow removal team this morning. They just spent two long days, "clearing" the sidewalks around our place. Unfortunately, in reality, that means they carved out a wider walking path, (good), but ended up packing the snow into rockhard, slick as ice (well....it IS ice underneath the snow) bone breaking granite....sheesh!!!!!! Lovely...NOT!!! It's cold but sunny outside....guess I'm headed back to the gym....cabin fever is mounting!!!!!!

Treadmill done.
Hahaha, good luck tomorrow Ruth. No suggestions here either.

Ruth,
I've been having fun googling "indoor recess" ideas. Not as many for the upper grades, of course. But here are a couple that MIGHT work depending on the group.
1) Get a bunch of red solo cups and have them build structures while timed.
2) (Because I've always thought rubber chickens were funny. Though they could become missiles if they fall into the wrong hands. Lol.)
Pass the CHICKEN
Posted by:AussieBird #132128
PASS THE CHICKEN!
In this game, nobody wants to hold the rubber chicken -- the game's only prop!
To begin the game, all students sit in a circle. Select one person to be It. That person holds the rubber chicken. The teacher or a "caller" says to the person holding the chicken, "Name five presidents of the United States"( for example). Pass the chicken!"
As soon as the caller says, "Pass the chicken," the person holding the chicken passes it to the right. Students quickly pass the chicken around the circle. If it returns to the original holder before he or she can name five presidents of the United States, the holder is still It. Otherwise, the person holding the chicken when It finishes listing five presidents is the new It.
You should prepare the topic cards for this game in advance. Topics can relate to your curriculum or be general information topics. The...0 -
Ruth - all I can think of is duct tape. And chairs. And mouths..... but that's probably not appropriate
DH is a retired HS teacher - in a continuation school! He had many "naughty" students....nihahi - Look at you! Beautiful!!!
0 -
Yes, Nihahi - I was going to mention how nice it is to have a beautiful face to go with the beautiful name now
. I need to get a better picture loaded for my Avatar. This one, while in a beautiful setting on a wonderful trip, reminds me of the movie 'A League of Their Own' where they had nice close-ups of all the team players except the ugly one. I think her character name was maybe Marla? Anyway, for her picture the camera was a good 50 yards away so you couldn't make out her features......lol!0 -
Belated happy birthday, Dulcigirl! Mary, yes, it was a lot of hard work, but it was worth the pain to be pain-free. Cheryl, hope you can find someway to relieve your pain.
Ran a lot of errands on my bike, with plenty of hills.

You guys are too complimentary......It's a small enough photo to blur the wrinkles!
45 minutes of intervals on the elliptical.....boring.....I just pretended I was climbing some cross country ski trails to stay sane!
ruth....you don't sound very "retired" to me....how often do you sub, anyway?

nihahi: Beautiful!!!
Blessings: Our Girl Scout Council is is test marketing the gluten-free cookies. Not all the troops opted to sell them. Hope they do well.
LilacBlue: Thin Mints will never go away!
Walked/ran this afternoon at the park.

Subbing depends on the week, twice a week is about perfect for me....3 is OK, I don't do more than that unless there is an emergency situation and they can not find another warm and living body to cover it. As far as games go, this group would be beating each other over the head with the chicken......DS was trying to explain a game for a large group involving werewolves, so I may give him a call, personally I like the 'Duct Tape Them to the Chairs' idea best myself!
Great picture, nihahi! Fun to see a face with the name.
OMG, what a day (in a bad way) this has been......3 of us Walking Wednesday ladies also go to a Core class on Tues/Thursdays, and yesterday we convinced two of the other gals to try it out. So they came & we were about 30 minutes into class (which involved lots of lunges etc. today), when one of the newbies felt kind of shaky, stopped her exercise, walked to the back of the room and fainted dead away, with her head striking a piece of equipment on the way down. So there she was bleeding, white as a sheet, and totally unresponsive. The instructor quick;y called 911 & a staff member who knows first aide, while we tried to contact her DH & adult son who lives in town (which, thank God, we finally did). We followed the ambulance to the hospital & waited with them in the ER for several hours. The good news is that it wasn't a stroke or really bad like that, she didn't break any bones, and the cut was superficial. She does have a concussion & they are holding her overnight for observation, but we did get to talk to her before we left & her color was back & she was joking around etc.......ARGH!!! I am going downstairs to CAREFULLY run on the treadmill for awhile just to de-stress!
0 -
OMG....RUTH!!!!! ....what an experience!!
faces and heads bleed like crazy....hope she has minimal se's from the concussion. Maybe your core class should make helmets mandatory!

I think people should think twice if I give them the advice to, "try (fill in the blank), it will be fun" !!!!!!!!!
0 -
Ruthie!!!! OMG! So glad a concussion was the worst injury. Not that a concussion is anything to sneeze at. Good that they're keeping her overnight. Bet she and the rest of the Wednesday walkers will get a lot of mileage outa this incident, huh???
0 -
Wow, Ruth, what a day! Glad your friend wasn't more seriously injured, but that must have been so scary!
It is getting cold here by our wimpy standards - OMG! It's below freezing!!
Nevertheless, DH and I and the puppy girls took our walk. We're brave like that. I also went to the gym and did upper and lower body weights and stretching.

How awful Ruth. Hope your friend recovers quickly.
Hit the gym after work today for 15 minutes on the Elliptical before boot camp. Long day tomorrow so will likely have to do some stair stepping and regular toning exercises late in the day.
Happy Friday ladies.

Well, she texted me from the hospital because she was getting bored, so that is a good sign!

That IS a good sign, ruth....hopefully it wasn't gibberish
. You'll have to equip her with a bubble wrap hat, next time you take her "coring".0
