Random Thoughts

I have always wanted to try Zumba and one of my FB friends sent me a deal to buy this set of 4 DVDs for only $35 shipped and I had to jump on it as I have never seen it at this price before.  I got the DVDs 2 days ago and have done them every day and so far I LOVE IT! Her Fb link is http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/TuTu-Sassy-Boutique/156482091047502

My only complaint, and its not a big deal, is that the 1st DVD gives you a great breakdown on the steps but the second one did break the steps down first.  Now, the first DVD does help with the others as it gives you and “idea” so it does allow you to catch on quicker.

I felt great, I could feel the burn, and it was totally fun!  I am a dancer at heart.  have danced most of my life, ballet, jazz, tap, modern, Irish Step and this is right up my alley for enjoyment.

If you want to try it try to head by my friends FB and see if her deal is better then the Amazon deal I have posted here in my blog, her FB is http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/TuTu-Sassy-Boutique/156482091047502

This past summer I was walking with the kids and we passed by this house with these awesome HUGE purple leaves and I had to take a picture with my phone

Does anyone know what these leaves are called?  I loved them and want to plant some of these next spring.  They are gorgeous!

Well our fish is no its last fin and I am not sure what to do about it.  We have had it for 2 years and I hear form those who have fish that 2 years is a long time for a fish.

You can see in the picture below the swollen blue eye and this blue has started to show up all over the purple color the fish is normally.

Yes that big bulb on the right is the fish’s eye.

Anyway, I am stuck what to do. Is the fish suffering?  I don’t know.  He stays on top of the water in this spot always and rarely swims anywhere.  He eats and eats rather quickly when I put his food in every morning.  I knock on the glass and he responds by swimming for a minute or so but then back to this spot.  Sometimes he swims flat on his side and bends almost in half to try and turn around.

What do I do?  I don’t want to kill it if it is not suffering but how the heck am I suppose to know that?  Also, how the heck can I do that?  I don’t hunt or kill things except bugs and spiders so this is going to bother me a lot if I have to do it to the fish.

I keep hoping that the fish will die on his own quickly but it has been like this for about 3-4 weeks.

What should I do?!

Happy boxing day, well yesterday!  I did not get a chance to post this yesterday as I was too busy playing with the kids and all their new Christmas toys. LOL

I was so sick and tired of being couped up in the house, even though its freezing cold outside so I took the dog and my daughter for a very cold freeze walk yesterday.  We walked a few blocks and then we went and ran around the snowy field at the local elementary school, swung on the swing and walked home.  We were gone about 45 minutes and it was cold.

We got home and pulled out the Dance Dance revolution and did that for about 30 minutes.  I felt awesome after all this movement.  This is only the second time I have worked out since the InsterStim surgery and I have started to feel frumpy and tired and I know it was because of the lack of energy I was expending so now I am back! Whihoo!

I hope you all had a great Christmas and I also hope for everyone to have a Happy new year as well.

No New Years resolutions for me.  I made a promise to myself months ago that I will continue to better myself all year long.  My resolutions have been made all year long.  I am going to just continue with all my resolutions to work on myself in hopes of bettering myself.

Interstim Therapy for Urinary Control : Educational Video for Patients (Dvd)

It has been 16 days since my stage 2 surgery of InterStim and I just did 90 seconds of plank position and jogged in place in front of the TV for 18 minutes and I DID NOT PEE, or even had the urge too and it did not hurt. 

This is so cool.  My incision is still sore to the touch.  When I bump into things that is pretty much the end of me feeling good for a couple hour otherwise, we are good!

My only complaint now is the soreness of the incision but that is normal after any surgery so I will take that.  For the rest of the results after surgery, so far LOVING IT!

Well before the surgery I was almost 200 seconds in plank.  My average day to day was 160 seconds.  My butt is healing much better, still sore, but I am back up from 60 seconds, from last week, to 90 seconds today! Yay!  Getting back up there slowly but surely!

Will keep doing it every day and get back to my 160 and I won’t stop there.  I need to get up there again as I am definitely noticing that extra weight around my stomach from the 2 weeks of healing and I DON’T LIKE IT! YUCK!!

I also just jogged for 18 minutes in place in front of the TV and I was not in pain!  Whihoo!  I am BACK!  Still waiting til Feb for P90X though, it is a tough one!

This is just one of those, why questions.  I was making some dinner and was out of fresh garlic so headed to the spice rack to get some dried garlic.  I opened the lid, on the wrong side first, and found these little small holes.  Now the garlic is pretty big slices and could in no way shape or form fit through that side.  I opened up the other side and that was better because it was one large hole.  My question is…..why even bother putting a lid on a bottle when it is only half useful?  Weird.  It is not a big deal but just one of those random thoughts and was wondering what the reason is.  Maybe they got these lids for real cheap or something.  Oh well!

You can see the size of the garlic slice on the right.  It is much too big to fit through the little holes on the right!

I am so sore today, seriously!  I had a very first Christmas party for my 4 year old with her two little friends and their Moms.  I was up and running ALL day long.  Stood probably 90% of the day, cleaning, vacuuming, baking, you name it.

I am actually gearing up to take some ibuprofen because I am so achy and sore and have sharp pains going through my feet.  Definitely got a good work out in today.  best i have had since my surgery!
