Trops Diary

Just stopped by to wish you all the best for the New Year!

Hope you have a good one in which you reach all your goals, no matter how big or small!

All the best! :hug2:
 
Just wanted to pop in and say hi. see how you're doing. hope you had a very merry yule and a great new years. Sorry I poofed back in November, I wish I could have sent you all a notice or something before it happened. HUGE drama and :icon_bs: that took a while to sort out. but it's sorted, I'm back, and hopefully no hard feelings? :angelsad2:
Take care
 
Yay! Feeling the love here. :grouphug:

Last night was really great. A medium snow storm in the afternoon then things dropped down into the teens, so driving was a bit on the treacherous side. I was the driver, so diet coke for almost the whole night. Champagne toast at midnight and a patron with best friends 2-4 shortly after that. Best friend #1 is my lovely wife, and she'd had enough to keep her happy at that point. It was such a nice party. Only about 20-25 people, and the couple have a new born sleeping upstairs, so no fireworks this year, but the horns and noise makers didn't wake her, so all is good. Everyone there (except for two couples) are some of the most important people in my life, so it was a great way to ring in the new year. Lost of love all around.

Food wise I did pretty good for the most part, but some jerk (me) brought a hot crab dip that I couldn't stop eating. :D

Yesterday I was able to pick up a new arm strap for my ipod, and although I haven't run with it yet, I really like it. I also picked up a counting jump rope. I don't know about that. I'll have to see later today.

Have a great one, everybody. :party:
 
I hate showing up empty handed, and if you are going to bring something, bring your A game. The bottle of bubbly was a real good one, too. :D
 
I'm not much for drinking champagne, but I have had it poured over me and licked off. That was nice ... but sticky.

I just perved your thread, Trops :D
 
How's the arm band work for you? Did you get a counting rope?? I think it is a great investment! Glad you had a great NYE with such "special" people... that makes all the difference in the world!
 
The arm band is going to work great, but I'm not sure if it will work jumping rope. I'll have to see. Usually I'm counting, so the music would be too distracting, but now I have the counting rope it might not be bad at all.

I ended up not doing any workout today. Food has been pretty minimum. I had some coffee for breakfast and then the leftover risotto for dinner. It's been a pretty slow day, but I'm at work tonight and I don't think I'll be getting anything in in the next hour.

Tomorrow is another day. :D
 
Cool about the band, and the rope!! Get one of those docking stations for the i-pod, and your good to go while jumping!! I haven't tried to wear my i-pod when jumping, just figured it would become a distraction! Tomorrow is another day.... have a good one.
 
Docking station won't work because a lot of time when I'm jumping I'm outside. I have a really cool spot in the woods and there is a heard of dear that watch me. It's so cool. If I'm indoor there are usually people around and I don't subject them to my music. I get very personal about what I'm listening to. It silly because it isn't like it's anything out there. It's just that a lot of times it's like a window into what I'm feeling at that moment, and those feelings are for me alone. Like I said, it's silly. :ack2:

Not silly at all Trops. I am the same way. I'm just luck enough to have my own gym. Very cool about the deer though... they got a betting pool with odds and everything!! :D
 
Ooh! Very Cool! I just tried the new rope with the ipod on the arm strap. It works like a charm. I still ended up counting in my head, but I have a feeling that won't be a problem in a short while. I also had no problem keeping the same pace that I was.
 
Hiya Trops :)

Happy New Year to you! I hear you about getting very personal about your music when you work out... I'm kinda the same way. Sometimes when I'm running on the treadmill at the gym and I'm blaring my tunes I wonder what some people would think if they knew what the hell I was exactly listening to... Glad to hear the armband works.

Woo Hoo! I just got back from the gym and I can hardly move my arms. I think that means that I went to the limit as far as lifting goes. It was nice because it wasn't all that crowded, but it's always less crowded on Fridays. Still I could just get my stuff done and go.

My Dad is visiting for the weekend, so that means lots of food, meat, cheese, good stuff, and of course
:hurray: Whiskey! :hurray:

So, I'll try to be good, but we'll see. :cheers2:
