Hello-

I just finished a kettlebell lower body workout. It was ok. It was a circuit that had to be repeated three times. By the time I got to the third round, I was more than ready for it to be over. I get bored easily. ;)

My dh is soooo cute last week he saw a 5 pound kettle bell on sale and asked me if I'd use it. Yup I need a door stop. He has no clue what weights are in the house.

In the middle of a very busy day I managed to do some LS miles and I pulled out my Yoga Works dvd and did that mostly for the breathing. Tonight the guys are getting carbonara and I'm going with spicy veggies, my nose was a bit itchy this morning.

Today was a hair appt and some grocery shopping. I did manage to get outside to walk. Very happy about that! Just finished weights. Dinner is easy. Leftover taco mix in either shells or lettuce cups. DH can decide. And baked sweet potatoes for extra potassium.

I slipped and fell down the stairs on Sunday. I had fuzzy socks on and the stairs were Pergo. I know it sounds weird, but I took most of the impact on the soles of my feet until I landed on my backside. They still are a bit tender. It could have been much worse.

Sympathy like....ow! I hope it gets better soon. I'm kind of a wuss when it comes to pain like that...I'm amazed that you worked out at all!

I'm trying to decide what to do for dinner tonight....I'm kind of worn out. Yesterday was really rainy and windy, and of course it was Wednesday, so I had to bike back and forth all over creation. I went and picked up DS, who refused flat out to bike in the rain, stood there at the school and screamed at me that he "WASN'T GOING TO BIKE IN THE RAIN!!!!" for 10 minutes before I finally got him convinced it was either bike in the rain or sleep at the school because we didn't have another way to get home. Then he screamed the whole 30 minute ride home, but I can't complain too much because at least he did it. We got home and he changed out of his wet clothes and I went to the grocery store in the rain. Came home, put groceries away, and had to go pick up DD and take her to GRID (musical theater) in the rain. Came back home sopping wet (Yes, I was wearing a rain poncho, but the wind was blowing the rain up under it and my legs were soaked) so I put my pants in the dryer for 30 minutes while I prepped dinner, then put the damp pants back on to go back and get DD from GRID. I'm not even kidding, you guys...it was so windy, that once I got around this one corner, I was pedaling as hard as I could and was barely moving. This lady had an umbrella open in front of her because the rain was coming in horizontally and she kept getting pushed back by the wind. But I made it...I was wet and exhausted, but I made it. So then we got DD home and I took my pants off and hung them on the heater while I cooked dinner, and realized I had to go pick up DS's fish (Wednesday is his fish day), so on with the wet pants again to slog through the rain for fish. Got home, finished cooking dinner, ate, and then went to work. I was so shot by that time that I COMPLETELY forgot I had made arrangements with a coworker...she and her hubby pick me up and bring me to work, my husband brings her back home. So she shows up at work, having stood at my door and gotten no answer. Oops. I felt soooo bad. So now, I'm a little sore from all the biking in the strong wind (which my bike path to DS's school is torn up so I have to go all the way around) and I really wish I could just stay home today!! Ugh. And of course there's rain in the forcast again today, so lather rinse repeat, I guess...at least there are no extra-curricular activities today and it's JUST the school run and work. Calgon, take me away!!

Oh my. Sorry to hear you fell. At least your feet are feeling a bit better now.

Public Service Word Of Warning. I fell three times last year. Once when walking in the mall, once when heading through the queue at Soarin and once again walking the path at Universal. One of the first things that a doctor asked when you reach a "certain age" is... Have you fallen and if you have they practically take you directly to a home. Now the Public Service Warning... I bought shoes that had special no slip soles on them. Logically, it was to prevent slipping and falling. However, what it to me is if I happened to drag my foot at all while walking my foot stopped instantly no matter what stage of stride I was in. All three times I fell forward because my leg stopped but my body didn't. I didn't hurt anything other then my pride, but, try explaining that to the Doctor. As soon as I got home I ditched those shoes and bought some regulation, ironically "New Balance" shoes. Guess what nothing even close to a fall since then and that last one was about this time of year last year. Doctors don't believe me so I have stopped telling them I have fallen. I know the reason why and I fixed it. If I do fall again and I cannot figure out why... I will happily tell them about it.

I am the one who fell. Unfortunately, I am clumsy. I fell down in my house last year just going down two steps into my living room. That one was worse, because my backside took the impact. I had a cup of coffee in my hand, too. It went all over the wall. A few years ago, I sprained my ankle crossing a street. My shoe slipped off and rolled my ankle. They were flat shoes, too. :hilarious:

Yes, I knew it was you that fell. I'm hoping you are over the hurt. I was just reminded of my adventure in face planting due to shoes when reading Minnie's reply and thought I would share the wisdom of an elder. :p The moral being... non-slip can also present a danger. I think the only real solution would be to wrap ourselves in bubble wrap and not think about it anymore. :)
