Guest guest Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Yeah well my bad mood was courtesy of the stupid stressful test as I'm "fixed," DARN, I can't use it as an excuse any more LOL I do need to stretch my caves more but right now the PF has gone but the tendonitis in the side of my foot and ankle is bothering me a little. It doesn't hurt though and is only a little swollen so it should be fine. I'm gonna kill my Podiatrist when I see him on the 9th! I'm going to tape up his feet!LOL, Jen Guess What?

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 After all the health problems I had in 2010 my self confidence took a real beating but after getting my test results...my self confidence is BACK! I want to finish my Gilad rotation first. It doesn't hurt to start Jackie Warner later than Carolyn had originally planned. I'm really enjoying Gilad, he is very encouraging just like Chalene is on ChaLEAN Extreme!

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Thanks Carolyn! I'm glad everyone here knew I would pass because I sure didn't! I thought that I had failed it. I sure didn't I got "exceeds expectations" on 2 or the 4 areas and only made a total of 30 errors out of 170 possible errors on the test. I was very happy about that!

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 It's good to see you again, Jen! Sorry to hear you haven't been feeling better. Your cat is a cutie. I'm not an animal lover, but this one is adorable. > > I have a lot of posts to catch up on. The last time I posted was in response to Judy S from Exercise Video's group passing away (last Tuesday.) > > I was planning to post all of the exercise posts I haven't done yet. But unfortunately I got a stomach virus instead. I had an upset stomach Tuesday night, that I thought was due to getting up very early to work that day and running around in 90+ degree weather. But it wasn't. After I came home from work on Wednesday I still had an upset stomach/nausea and I also had a lot of diarrhea! I still have an upset stomach and a little diarrhea but I guess I have to go to work tomorrow so wish me good luck. > > Two positive notes: > I lost about 6 lbs but not recommend method! > > And despite being sick I went up to Chesaning to pick up kitten number two!
