Good morninging everyone,
Hope that everyone had a good day yesterday. I dropped my son (Robert) off at school and then went over to the fitness center for my morning workout. Spent 95 minutes working out and listening to the personal trainer work a couple of ladies. She told me that she couldn't help me today because she has to get the church ready for her son's wedding the next day. I told her that was okay that I would just do what we did yesterday. But I also saw that as I was walking out of the fitness center one hour later that she was with another client.

I returned to the school and found out that a lot of kids were being picked up 2 hours early. The nurse asked me if I have had chicken pox or the shingles. I told her yes to both. I asked why the school is sending some of the kids home early. She said that one of the teachers have come into contact with the shingles. We are sending home the kids that hasn't received the shot for the chicken pox.

So I am glad that the day is over with and get ready for a early morning. My son is going with the beginning band to silver dollar city for their end of the year band trip.

I hope everyone has a good time today with whatever you do.

How awesome is that?!

I am trying to get my house ready for company at the end of the month. I have a trail ride, about 25 riders AND our kids are all coming home the same weekend! I guess that is okay, only have to clean house once! ha

Been trying to work in the yard and garden, and help at the city park with our garden club flower bed. I am feeling it today, but rain in the forecast so I have to get our veggie garden in this weekend!

Happy Thursday all!

For us Canuckers, the first long weekend of the season is almost here - woohoo - and my house is getting ready to go away to the cottage. My guys have already been up, but this will be my first time for 2013 Weather looks like it's going to be great, hope the bugs aren't too bad though - I'm finding that as I'm getting older they bother me more LOL! Last year at this time everyone was able to swim, but I don't think so this year. Even putting in the dock is going to be a chilly challenge. Just having lots of sunshine and warm Spring temps will be a treat.

Hope you all have a great weekend when yours' start.

Today went good. Hung out with friends while working out. It makes 90 minutes go by fast. My husband took me out for a late Mother's Day dinner. My son got a laugh at the waitress. She thought that I was my husband's sister. After I told her that I was not Steve's sister but am his wife, she apologized for the mixed up.

Oh, that is right! I forgot about that. My niece is pre-teen but might be something she would like. I will have to check it out, and then maybe let her know. Thanks for the reminder!

Today was an awesome day! I went to the produce auction. Got Lots of LOTS haha. 2 Lots of perennials (like 32 total) 10 hanging baskets for my porch, 10 planted containers, a flat of pepper plants, some lettuce (heads) - like 6 for $2!! And asparagus for 1.25 a bunch! 10 dozen Farm fresh brown eggs for 1.10 per dozen!

It was awesome!

Good evening everyone,
Mothers day went as well as to be expected. This is the first Mothers day since my mom passed away. After church my awesome son took me out for lunch. Monday night I attended my son's choir concert and it was good. It would have been better if the choir director had remembered to turn on the microphones. It was noticed at intermission and was turned on. After the concert my son and I went out for a couple of coke zeroes.

Today went good. So far I have been good at making all my appointments this week with the personal trainer. I am feeling better and not craving any junk food . My son came to me and asked why is it called a lifestyle change when you don't change anything. And why do you weigh and measure everything. I told Robert that I weigh food and measure drinks so that I know how much I have taken in. Robert asked if there is a web site for teens. I told him yes Spark teen. So I think that Robert is going to sign up tonight. He is a little upset because his girl dumped him because Robert is on the heavy side. So I am trying to teach Robert how to know how much you take in in a month without keeping track of it.

I hope everyone has a good evening with whatever you do today.

Good evening everyone,
Today I have taken the advice from my Spark friends and have made an appointment with a different doctor on May 8th. With the reduction of the meds the feet still tingle and my right leg still burns. I plan on not mentioning what the other doctor has done and start with a clean slate.
Today went good. I spent most of the day sitting down, but I am looking forward to a girl's day out with my cousin from Tennessee. We plan on going out of town to shop and eat at an great Chinese restaurant.

I hope everyone has a good evening with whatever you do today and forward to a much better tomorrow.

Good evening everyone,
I went to the doctor today and found out that my bulging discs are pressing against the sacatic nerve. She has increased the dosage of the pain medications. She also said for me not to push, pull or bend excessively. I have to go get fitted for a lumbar brace and not to lift over 10 pounds. So I guess I will have to stay at home and play with the cats. I f the pain doesn't improve in two weeks then the doctor will order a MRI and then talk about surgery on the back.

I hope everyone has a good evening with whatever you do and have fun with it.

Good evening everyone,
Thought I would pop in to see how everyone is doing. I am still having problems with my thigh burning. I received a call from Robert's school asking if I could fill in on three hours of recess. I told them that I would if I'm not the only person out there and if I could sit down the whole time. The receptionist said that she would have to check in to that. She called me back and said yes that would be fine and to tell the other person if I see something wrong.

I am hoping that the doctor tomorrow will tell me what I can do to stop burning without any surgery.

I hope everyone has a good evening with whatever you do not have fun doing it.

Hi everyone,
I have been having some problems with my legs going numb. So I called the doctor yesterday and was told to stay off my legs until I see her on Tuesday. I am hoping that this is going to be a fast turn around and I can get back to working out. The nurse did say that I could walk, swim, or yoga for 30 minutes but no pushing , pulling or lifting greater than 10 pounds. So I guess I will put in walk away the pounds or biggest loser yoga and enjoy it.

Happy Easter,
Dropping in to wish everyone a Happy Easter.Our church has grown so fast over the past year that we have had to go from one church service on Sunday's to four services just to get everyone in that want to worship with us. It's a great feeling to be part of something so wonderful. I love seeing the work of GOD around and through us. Jesus has arose indeed.

Hope everyone has a Blessed Easter Day with all that you do.

Until next time,

Good evening everyone,
Please pray for a 7 year old Emma in our community.  She has a lump on the brain and found that out after doing a cat scan.  She was having a hard time seeing. The eye specialist came in and looked at her. EVerything is fine there. THey are going to do another MRI tomorrow and compare the two. Her mom is an old high school friend of mine. 

Please pray for a friend of mine. He was laid off of the job he had. Now he is putting in applications everywhere hoping to get a good job.

Praise Dad's arm has finally healed enough for him to go back to work. 

Robert and I went to church today and it was kinda weird.  I didn't know until the Pastor started telling a story.  The person who was sitting next to me wad released from prison this weekend.  Eric said I would like everyone to welcome this person into our family.  Eric said that none of the other churches wanted him.  He didn't say what he was sent to prison for.  It still made me feel uncomfortable.  I know we are to love one another no matter what the person has done. 

The rest of the day went well.  I did one load of dishes and two loads of clothes.  I still have a mountain of both to do to get caught up.  I wish now that I would have gone ahead and did a load of each every day. 

Tomorrow starts back to the normal routine with school starting back.  So my plan is to take Robert to school and then hit the gym for strength training and cardio.  After that go to Russellville to pay some bills .

I hope everyone has a good evening with whatever you do.

Until next time,



Sharon

Good evening everyone,
I want to say to everyone who for my son. Robert is now 36 hours fever free and looking forward to tomorrow. I have gained a couple of pounds this week. But I haven't worked out any this week either. I haven't worked in the house either.

So now I feel like I can leave Robert at home with his dad and go to the fitness center. Hopefully I can get the extra off and continue to lose weight and get back on track.

I don't think that Mother Nature has told old man Winter that Spring is here and to go away.

If I'm not on here before Easter I Hope everyone has a Blessed Day.

I hope everyone has a good evening with whatever you do.

Until next time,

Good evening everyone,
I have been up most of last night taking care of my 13 year old. Last week my husband brought home a bug from school. My son caught the bug last night and I have been up every 4 hours to check temp. Not a great start to the spring break. I heard that this bug can last up to 6 weeks. I hope not.

I hope everyone has a good evening with whatever you do.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day everyone,

Spring break started Saturday . My son says don't forget to wear GREEN today.

We went to church this morning to do four that we are going to 4 services. The pastor came up to me and asked if my 13 could help with the 1st to 5th graders and also we need an extra parking attendant. He asked if Robert could help with that also. I sure those are two areas that Robert has been wanting to help with. Eric said we need you to step up also and help with the pre k and k class. He said that the teacher back there hasn't been able to attend the service because no one will step up and take her place in the second service. I told him I would think about it.

I hope everyone has a Happy Saint Patrick's Day with whatever you do. And may you find your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow

Good morning everyone!

I am a quiet memeber of this team....do not really post much...but I am always touched by how warm and loving you all are.

Today I am reaching out to you on behalf of my good friend Pam. Her family was one that suffered a loss on Sunday in the car crash in Texas that took the lives of 5 teenagers. The story has been on the news. Her Derrek was one of the young people in the car. Tonight, there will be a candlelight vigil to honor those teens- and I was hoping some of you would take the time to join a Sparkpeople candlelight vigil and give Pam a candle Sparkgoodie along with your prayers. She needs our strength right now. PLease invite your friends- I am hoping the love and support is overwhelming,
Thanks for your consideration. God Bless.

Good evening all,

Today I didn't do much because of miss-communications. I had told my son that I would pick him up after school. So I stayed at the schools so that I didn't have to drive in the school traffic after school. Well school was out and went over to the Jr. High to pick him up and he wasn't there. I went in to see if he was in after school tutoring. He wasn't there. So I told myself that I would go to the bus stop down the street from the house and wait for him. Sure enough Robert was on the bus. He told me that I didn't tell him that he was going to be a car rider. I told him that he had a doctor appointment at 4pm and since it is 10 minutes to 4 I would call and reschedule it. If I would had known that Robert was going to take the bus I would had stayed home and worked out some. I did walked 3 miles today though walking a round the school. But it didn't get my heart rate up though so I didn't know if it counted or not.

Hope everyone has a good evening with whatever you do.

Good evening all,
Finally returned home on the 8th and then had to turn around the next morning and take Robert to Little Rock for Pepsi Tournament. I am glad that all of that is behind us now. The kids on the bus sang to my son on the way home. Yes Robert is now 13 years old. He had a good time Saturday but didn't make it to finals. I heard one of the score keepers tell another parent that if your son or daughter did not have a series of 500 then the bowler didn't have a chance. The rest of the team wanted to go to either Golden Corral or to Burger King to eat. I told both of the drivers that me and Robert are not going to eat supper out. I haven't had home cooking for a week and am tired of fast food. One of mine New Years Resolution is to not eat out at fast food places as much.

So today went good until about 2 hours ago when my husband said to go out and get some oreos or doughnuts and a 2 liter pepsi. He said that he is wanting something sweet. I just wonder what he did when I was gone for a week with the Choir. I cannot go out and get him something without getting me something too. I still haven't jumped over that hurdle yet. So here we are watching nascar and eating oreos and drinking pepsi. I do have to pat myself on the back though because I talked myself out of the pepsi at the house and got me a glass of water. My son says really mom. Water doesn't go well with cookies like Coke or Pepsi does.

I haven't done my fitness test yet. Is there some kind of exercise you do for the fitness test.

I hope everyone has a good evening with whatever you do.

TONY ... we bought a NINJA at Walmart ... about $49 and it does a fabulous job with smoothies ... we did the 3 day detox with it and it blended really good .... however when it comes to seeds (chia, flax, etc) we put them in the coffee grinder as we like them really fine.

We found one on sale for $39 and bought it ... as a standby ... but we've never taken it out of the box ... the first one is still working just great.

Someone may have asked this already but what kind of blenders are people using? I want to start making the daily green drink and some other shakes but hesitant to purchase a blender because I do not know which one to get. I don't have money for the Vitamix, too much for me right now. I want it to blend pulp, I don't like little things floating around. Any suggestions?

Pardon my interruption - looks like there is a great conversation happening.

I brought my water bottle and thought I'd chat with ya. I listened to SparkRadio earlier today while cleaning house and decided to start a new streak - I reset my goals and decided I would visit one SparkTeam and two SparkFriend a day... now I can always visit more if I have time but I figure this is achievable with out spending too much time on my behind not focusing on fitness. I figure if I am checking in with everyone daily it will encourage me to log my nutrition and fitness.

Today I am going to visit all my teams and leave this message so I can get started. Then I will begin rotating around.

I don't watch much TV but if/when I do and it is the right time of day I enjoy Dr. Oz. Not only is it informational but it is broken down so I understand it completely but not so I feel dumb - perfect balance. I love the demonstrations with balloons and screens and whatever.

Good morning everyone,

I took my son to school and then I suddenly realized that I have left my fitness center key at home. Robert told me that he guessed that he would probably have to ride the bus home. Even though he hates to. So I am back home getting ready to work out with the biggest loser challenge on the WII. I didn't check in yesterday, but it was my day off from working out. I did do some house cleaning though. I spent one hour at the laundry mat drying clothes. I had a teenager come up to me and asked for $ for a cigarette. I told her no. She asked me where she could get a cigarette. I told her that across the street is a stop and go, then there is Wal-Mart and several dollar stores. When she said a cigarette, the thought that came to mind was a joint. I told my son to not go anywhere near her. A couple inside said that she has been hitting people up all day for $. The couple said that person is trouble.

Hope everyone has a good day with whatever you do.

Good evening everyone,
I stayed at home today instead of going to the gym. I did worked out on the WII instead. I did the biggest loser challenge for 100 Minutes. I received my new scale today and am happy about it. I went by the radio station to pick up my husband's check. While there the owner asked me if I knew anything about running a radio mixer. The owner is also my son's English teacher. I told him that I minored in radio and tv and majored in Accounting. He said that we are short handed and am looking for some afternoon help. He said Robert could ride over with me everyday or the school bus could drop him off here. I told him that I would have to think about it and let him know. I retired from Wal-Mart back in 2004 with full benefits and haven't worked since.

I hope everyone has a good evening with whatever you do.

Wow! Dr Oz is backing away from his supplements recommendations. Maybe I'll stop watching. So disappointed to know that following his recommendations could have hurt my dh and me. Ouch. I feel betrayed.

Just received a call from a great Aunt from New York another Great Aunt from Wisconsin died yesterday. I asked Mary where to send flowers. She said that the childrens were not wanting flowers but wanted people to make a donation to a charity in Delores's name. I asked Mary which Charity. Mary said that she wasn't told which one. So I asked my son which one would he like for me to send a donation to. Robert asked about Make a Wish. Other than Red Cross I cannot think of any.

Spent the day at home with my son and husband. The school was out today because of the snow and ice storm from yesterday. Had fun watching my son playing out in the snow. He asked if I could come out to throw snow balls with him. I told him that I would be need to make a run to the drug store to get his dad's meds filled.

Tuesday I spent 2.5 hours working out on the elliptical and the treadmill. I then came home and worked out on the biggest loser challenge for 30 minutes. Yesterday I worked out on the elliptical for 35 minutes and the treadmill for 22 minutes then went over to the bikes and rode one for 40 minutes. It started to snow and supposed to get worse so I left the gym and went shopping to get supplies to eat just incase the electricity goes out we can still eat. While at the grocery store a parent came up to me and asked if the school is letting out early. I told her that I didn't know that I haven't heard anything yet. I called the receptionist in the transportation department to see. Kelly said that she hasn't heard anything yet. I went on about the shopping and another parent came to me and asked if Clarksville is getting out early.
I told the person that I haven't heard anything yet. Before finished shopping the phone ringed. The school district was calling saying that they were getting out at 1. I checked out and loaded the car and decided that since I have missed lunch I would go by a new short order coffee house that is owned by a local radio station. I placed my order and the person was working on someone elses order. I thought that mine will be out in a minute. I waited 30 minutes and went up to the counter. I asked the waiter if he has started on my order yet. He said that he was getting ready to. I told him to forget it and give me back my money I have to go and pick up my son. My husband works for this radio station on the weekend and told me that the food is good. So I went and picked up Robert and said that he wasn't allowed to eat lunch because he had to go to the help center for math tutoring. So I asked Robert if Sonic would be okay for lunch. He said that he would like to try out the new coffee house. I told him no you don't. The service is lousy. The owner of the coffeehouse is my son's Advance English teacher. Robert told me that his english teacher told him that the kids that have all A's in his class each nine weeks gets to work for him this summer at the coffee house. I told Robert that the owner can have you work for him but cannot pay you because it is against child labor laws. That didn't go over good for Robert. We are suppose to have ice coming in after midnight today and lasting until tomorrow night. So I will try and get back on. It will depend if the ice breaks the lines and we have power outage. Today I'm taking it easy and not getting out because of frozen rain. I will probably work out on the WII later.

Hope everyone has an snowy day with whatever you do.

I have been working out everyday for 3 to 4 hours a day. I am taking a break today to let the sore muscles to settle down. My 12 year old son came to me last week and asked if he could join Sparkpeople. I told him that he would probably have to wait until March 8 when he turns 13. I think that I had read somewhere that the kids have to be 13 to join Spark Teen. One of the the othzer teams that I am own has told me that they would be happy for Robert to contact them and they would put Robert on the weight loss spread sheet for the Winter Challenge. My scale broke two weeks ago so I have to get another. I am hoping that the weght doesn't creep back on.

I hope everyone has an

Had to postpone painting in my basement to go to the country to help daughter. Guess that's what being a mom is about--even if you are 75 and she's over 50.

I watched the interview with Charlie Sheen and it so touched my heart and I even cried it was so profound and deep and caring.

Dr. Oz deeply cares for people.

Charlie Sheen was on Dr Oz today and it was actually quite good .... he had requested an ashtray in his room and so Dr Oz gave him the purple gloves and showed him a smoker's lung vs normal .... seemed to shock n awe him for sure ....

I've not done much today and it feels rather good .... but guilty at the same time .... always feel like I need to be doing something as there is always plenty to do ...

have a great evening

Thanks for your bright goal of spring coming. I did see on TV that people who are keeping revved up with activity are less likely to get the flu. DH was at urgent care last night and got prescrip. for the tamaflu meds. He should have run the vacuum for me more.

KLUVSTRANSFORMERS, thanks for response on the dead fingers of DH. He doesn't have diabetes or B problem. It came on after his long surgery I think. We hope it goes away. Hope yours does too. I have heard that a number of people with diabetes have peripheral neuropathy.

Have a swell day folks. What id the Oz show today?

Hi guys,
Sorry I haven't been around much yesterday and today. My dad fell again last night. My son and I asked if we could help and the caregiver said no I have it. So the door bell rang and I went to answer the door. I was talking to the guest, and the next thing I know dad had fallen on top of the caregiver. The caregiver yelled at me to come and get him off of me. My son went in there and was told he couldn't help. I called a friend of mine to come over and help. After getting up off the floor there was no thank you for getting helped up and she kicked both elderly dogs several times.She also yelled at my son and he ran out of the house crying. He said mom how can she be so mean to an animal who just want to just please you. I told Robert that some people don't have the compassion that God gives them. I also told my son that if I had power of attorney I would have sent the person on her way. But she is like real nice to your uncle's who don't live here and that pay her salary and mean to us because we are a threat to her or that is what she thinks.

Hope everyone is having a good time today.
