11-26-09 Thursday (Leg or Thigh?)

Happy Thanksgiving!  We got up early and out of the house way before noon.  Being a holiday, the gym was only open until noon, hence the rush.  We did our usual core and cardio. 

After the gym, Jim showered first and then swiftly departed to join his dad’s side of the family at Grandma’s.  I had some time to kill so I cleaned the house (RV).  There was a possibility that later while at Jim’s mom’s, his Aunt Marty may want to come by and see the RV.

I went to my cousin, Carissa’s, for my family’s Thanksgiving.  Good, huge, spread too.  There was only 13 of us yet we had a huge turkey, a pork roast, and a giant spiral cut ham!  Side dishes?  Too many.  So much food and all so delicious.  4 desserts.  I, as usual, over ate. 

After 5 or 6 hours of family socializing, I met Jim at his second Thanksgiving meal of the day destination – his mom’s (Ann & Morgan).  I want to tell you that yesterday at the gym was leg day.  I tried not to over do my legs.  Legs are the shittiest part of the body to have sore.  It just plain sucks.  It finally caught up with me when I got out of the Jeep at Ann’s.  My legs hurt.

Enough bitching, I know.

For those of you who have been asking about my mom.  She’s got a lot of medical problems.  Fibromyalgia is her biggest enemy along with chronic abdominal pain.  Most days she’s in bed.  Mom had a good day today.  She had some pain and had to lay down for a while.  After some rest she hopped on the quad with Josh for a 2 minute ride (he went very slow).
