Hello-

Just completed my BodyPump workout for the day. My husband was supposed to leave work at 3, but somebody dropped the ball and left my husband to clean up the mess. Who knows when he'll be home. :cautious: At least his boss is angry that this person left him a mess to clean up.

I am going to do some prep work, like chopping veggies, etc., so basically I'll just have to throw things in the oven to bake. It's only the three of us tomorrow, so we are just keeping it low-key and easy for us.

Not sure if I am working out tomorrow, if I do, it will be a low impact dance workout. :)

Happy Thanksgiving! :happy:

Happy Thanksgiving to you (and everyone here) as well. I got out of work at 2:00 today, and I only wish your husband also was able to leave early. That's really too bad that his colleague dropped the ball, and left him with the cleanup. I'm sure he'll be happy once tomorrow comes, and he has a nice, relaxing meal at home with you. :)

Yes. I am going to make sure he sleeps in and surprise him with a tasty breakfast. He deserves it. :)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Up early, just could not sleep. Trying to not wake the other three. I blowed leaves yesterday and that big backpack blower just causes me all kinds of problems and lower back pain.
I could have someone else do it, but dang it, it is my yard and I am just not ready to give up yard work just because of a couple of back surgeries. I suppose I understand a little about how seniors feel when it becomes time to think about giving up driving. Of course, giving up driving is also giving up a sense of independence, and wanting to not give up yard work is more akin to stubbornness.
Early morning, way before the sunrise rant over.

Good morning,no formal workout yet but I did some stretching and floor work, got the house swept and vacced, the ham and turkey are in the smoker, most of the prep is done so I'm having a cup of coffee and trying to figure out what I want and even if I'm going to eat breakfast:hilarious:

Today is NOT a workout day!!! You have enough to do with all the entertaining, marathon cooking, etc. Once everyone has eaten, just kick back and relax for a change!! Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving morning to you and your lovely wife, and of course--the dogs!! :)

Now, about your leaves--do you have a rake? I would guess that raking would take a lot of the pressure off your back. It may take you longer (even over a few days--you could do sections at a time--if your yard is very large, for example), but it's just a thought here. When I was growing up, I used to rake the back yard for my father. I kinda liked it, and it was so much quieter than those leaf blowers! ;)

Hugs to you and yours! Are the babies getting goodies today?

You just described my biggest fear (nightmare). Not the leaf blower. If it never had to operate one of those I doubt I would lament it for a minute.

Today seemed like a lot of work for three people. I used every pan and cooked for hours. In the end, it was over in 30 minutes. I made too much food and I have loads of leftovers. LOL If we're in NJ for Thanksgiving next year, we're going out for dinner. :hilarious:

High(low)lights include:
My son thinking it was acceptable to come down to dinner in a Guns 'n' Roses t-shirt and boxers
My son eating nothing but biscuits and mashed potatoes with Old Bay for dinner
Me hoping alcohol-free Chardonnay would taste like real Chardonnay
Dry turkey-that I did not cook. :p

It's another one for the books. I have hung a wreath on my door and I am lighting my angel chimes in a bit. :cat:

I don't have time to catch up, but wanted to say I'm alive and all that. I hope you all have a very awesome Thanksgiving and get the chance to work off some of the holiday calories. I walked a couple of miles back home from the centrum today because I missed the bus and it took less time to walk back than to wait for the next bus. It was not raining for once, so I availed myself of the opportunity for some fresh air and exercise.

Hey there! It's good to "see" you again. I had wondered what happened to you. :)

Good for you! I ended up taking the day off. My legs were really sore from lifting weights on Wednesday. I am going to get back at it today. I think my husband wants to decorate the house today, so I'll be helping him today. I feel like it's a little bit too soon, but he likes to do the day after Thanksgiving. LOL
