Yes please don’t fall apart. I’ve flatten my foam roller, it doesn’t roll like it used to.
Hey Grny–thanks!!! 
Tryin to keep it positive…fakin it til I make stiil. I’m not 100% and haven’t been for awhile. Won’t it be interesting though, to see what I can really do when I’m feeling ‘normal?’
Watch out!! 
LOL Cal!!
I was trying to be funny about the sweating. I think for so long my metabolism has been out of whack that I never sweated like normal people when they train real hard. I can still feel my hams from Tuesday…I think it was the combo rdl+ single leg DLs I did.
Owlie- nice to ‘see,’ ya! And thanks…I feel ok with how I look, but I don’t want to just feel ‘ok,’ when I know I can feel GREAT inside and out.
MT- I’m trying not to fall apart I promise!
My ‘foam,’ roller is a 2x5 PVC pipe 
I don’t use it often cause it hurts…but it hurts goooood.
Woke up feeling tired. But even for being tired not feeling zombie like.(how does a zombie feel??)
2nd night in a row some firetrucks rolled through at 230am. weird. Only this time my daughter heard it and came in to tell me. After getting her back to bed I had the hardest time falling back to sleep.
And our 50 yr old house has the crappiest insulation. You have to shut all the vents downstairs to get air upstairs, and vice versa.
Not wanting to feel lazy I went out for a walk. Despite the excessive heat. I’m on of those people.
I grew up in a desert. When the houses used to be far apart. I would ride my bikes for hours in the Summer sun. Or go hunting for dinosaur bones
Hey MiM! Your legs look great! And I’m glad you’re feeling good. Hope you start feeling energized! Stay cool! DC was 106 when I left yesterday…
^Hey good to ‘see,’ you!!
Yes, it’s been pretty hot…I don’t mind it so much. It’s Summer, you know? In a few short months it will be too cold
Having a totally justified lazy day…even for being a Mom. Besides I think my hormones are downshifting again and I’m feeling wiped out/headachy again 
grrrr
I’m going to try and tackle our spare room though. I used to be able to exercise in it and over the months, well, I don’t know whats happened. I blame kids, ya.
Ready to kick off another week though! My plan for shedding pounds isn’t the most scientific but it should work. If it doesn’t, well, I don’t know cause it will damnit.
Hey Betty! I’ve been a little slow around here lately, but those legs look fantastic and I’m glad you’re feeling better!
Tackling the spare room does not sound like a lazy day! Sitting on the couch eating bon bons and watching bad lifetime movies sounds like a lazy day.
I hear you about the kids. Cleaning is futile. At the end of every week my house looks like it has been ransacked. And then when I do clean, I spend the next few hours bitching at them to put this that or the other thing away. My mother used to say, and boy was she ever right, “I can have a clean house or happy kids, but never both at the same time.”
Spare rooms have a way of accumulating junk. I only have one living/bed room but I have a cupboard across the hall which is full of crap. I’m afraid to open it in case there’s an avalanche.
Sorry you’re feeling crappy again - hang in there.
Ya know I thought you were being funny about the sweating. It does feel rewarding.
Hope you had a good day and went back to feeling better.
Hate cleaning myself, never ever ending. I’ve been throwing away a lot of stuff but takes so much effort to properly get rid of it and then that only makes a small dent. Blah never ending battle
your legs look terrific!
Hey BG…thanks!!
Nadia- well I was on the couch for more than half the day and then I took a 20 min power nap then more couching it. I think I finally started doing stuff at about 4pm
Cal- we’ve been so lucky in getting 4 bedrooms. I don’t know what we would do! Um, I guess get rid of a lot of our junk. Or at least organize it better. Hubby happens to be a pack rat. He said to me yesterday though that we are going to go through everything and throw most of it away…I blankly stared for a minute then burst out laughing.
MT- I hear ya! It gets worse when you got kidlets. There like mini tornados.
Alexus- thanks!!
