<p>But there is financial implication here - a weighting fee is required every week. If I don’t win, I would lose all those $$. On the other hand, I think I would need the motivation to continue.</p>
<p>PS. I am counting on most of people would quit again in this round.</p>
<p>weight lifting and intervals today.</p>
<p>Well, I lost the “avoid bronchitis” battle. I thought I was doing pretty well with the cold by last night and didn’t have a coughing fit until after my run. However, this morning I could not even make it 1/4 mile without stopping and hacking up a lung. I couldn’t inhale without wheezing and rattling. After the first mile I could at least breath, but I had to keep stopping to cough. Cut it off at 3 miles. Wound up at the walk-in clinic where I was diagnosed with the expected bronchitis. Now I can’t get my meds because our new pharmacy provider has screwed up the system. Working on this…
Inhaler, antibiotics, cough meds</p>
Sorry to hear it MOWC. Hope you get the drugs quickly so they can do their job.
Ran 4.2 today in shorts and t-shirt sweating like crazy in Jan…almost 70 degrees.
Followed up with pushups and planks.
Then DH wanted to go for a walk…just too beautiful to sit inside… walked 4.1.
<p>Dragged myself to the gym after my shift at the hospital today.
Gray and sad here in NJ. Really just wanted to go home.</p>
<p>My reward was finding that I’ve lost 4 pounds since Dec 1st. Certainly not much and a long way to go but I’m satisfied with it considering my lapses in eating over Christmas.</p>
<p>MOWC- feel better!</p>
<p>I know the coughing and running thing well but my coughs aren’t productive so I just keep running. Sometimes the body suppresses the coughing impulse when working out. Hope you get through the insurance stuff.</p>
<p>4 miles. I’m taking it easy and careful with the ankle issue. I saw a little bruising when I looked at it today. I have a pair of crutches if I really screw up.</p>
<p>It’s foggy and 38 degrees and raining here. That’s not bad though - 38 degrees is a relative heat-wave. That EMS stuff performs great. I’m going to ask my daughter to try the Power Stretch on.</p>
<p>MOfWC, hope you got your antibiotics and the other meds. Get well soon!</p>
<p>Ran 4.2 miles on my treadmill which looked more inviting than the ice-covered streets. Now off to brush snow off my grill and make dinner - I have not had a good steak in a long time. :)</p>
<p>MOWC, get better soon.</p>
<p>3.6 miles today.</p>
<p>I did the minimum minimum workout today. 12 squats, 12 pushups, 12 kettlebell swings. I’m wore out.</p>
<p>Get well soon, MOWC.</p>
<p>Had to pry the grill cover off of said appliance - it was frozen solid. Had to be careful while walking on ice-covered deck, but the grilling was a complete success! The steaks turned out just fine. I served them with a green salad and some quinioa. Mr B devoured his steak and commented that it was excellent. :)</p>
<p>Yeah. My deck is a sheet of ice. Melting water drips from an overhead eve and freezes solid. I don’t really care. I could salt it, but then, I’d be tracking the salt in all winter. I just hold the railing and walk carefully. I grilled a couple of thick pork chops out in the snow early last week.</p>
<p>MOWC - seems like I always get the bronchitis when I get a cold. I got a tip from our health foods store on how to eliminate a nagging cough afterwards. Drink a half glass with a couple droppers of horseradish concentrate daily. Real (or imagined!) it has always helped me.</p>
<p>I go back and forth on the vitamins/ supplement thing. Seems like every couple months you see a study that says they are good OR ineffective. Right now I’m taking a multi, c, glucosamine, niacin, and fish oil.</p>
<p>Horseradish? Wow, never heard of that! I will definitely try this remedy the next time a. Ees for it arises.</p>
<p>The snow has no intention to begin to melt, so it sounds like another dreadmill run for me. My order of Brooks Glycerin bras (ahem, running tops) came in - wow, they are so colorful and pretty! Brooks should add another slogan - “Run pretty!” :)</p>
<p>2.7 miles plus back/bicep weight lifting</p>
<p>MOWC, feel better soon.</p>
<p>Happy to report my back is still a bit sore, but I’m back to exercising and losing the Christmas bloat. Have done Hopscout’s challenge for the last 4 days without problems. :)</p>
<p>Hope you get better soon, MOWC!</p>
<p>I did a spinning class on Friday and a short walk (2.0 mi.) yesterday. It’s unseasonably warm in my part of New England–it’s been raining all day and now the rain is melting the snow. Starting to feel like I’m getting back into shape after being sick. I’m going to try a new yoga class on Monday that’s a combination of yoga and pilates. Finally, going to get to the Crossfit intro class (had to cancel because of my nasty cold/cough) next Saturday.</p>
<p>As idad likes to say, I punched the clock today. Been a lazy day here today…</p>
<p>Had a great workout today. Now I have to control the diet, control the diet, control the diet.</p>
<p>taking a resting day today.</p>
<p>walked 4.1 miles with DH today.
Weatherman says rain for the next three days with “wintery mix” on Thurs…ugh.</p>
