Ouch. That's just scary.I have a stupid confession for today and then, I will be MIA because of work stuff.
Monday night I went to take my vitamins before bed. The L-Lysine I take is a huge pill and I have a hard time swallowing it every time. Mr. Mo suggested cutting it in half so it wouldn't be nearly as big. HUGE MISTAKE. I cut the pill in half and it got lodged in my throat. So much so, that he had to give me the Heimlich maneuver. I was freaking out because I thought, "Yep, this is how I'm going to die, having choked on a stupid supplement." Rachael was crying because I was heaving in the kitchen while Mr. Mo was doing all he could to Heimlich that pill up. No go. I'm not sure if it eventually dissolved or what, but the dang thing did a number on my throat and now, I think my esophagus is scratched or something because it is really sore.
I was really nervous to take it again last night but I did, and I didn't choke. I'm too cheap to not finish the bottle and go buy different ones.
Why do supplements/vitamins have to be so big?!
Yeah, vitamins can be pretty ridiculous. The Trader Joe's Women's Formula vitamins are listed as three per day and each pill is almost as large as the one a day I usually take.
Silly confession: I don't have a problem with pills because I swallowed a ton of LIte-Bright pieces and Legos as a kid.
A Lite-Brite peg I can see but how the heck did you swallow a Lego and then do it again?!
Wait! How did I miss Legos? I only saw Lite-Bright!! You were a little dare devil!
The only thing I remember swallowing when I was younger was a dime or a penny. My uncle had given me the change & later I had went up to my mom & told her I ate money.
Ouch!
This did remind me of a story though. Has anyone ever gotten anything stuck up their nose? When I was a kid I remember getting a crayon stuck in my nose (in my sinus area) and my mom freaked out. We were finally able to get it out but I must have been a dumb/weird kid. Who sticks crayons up their noses?
I was trying to find the picture of my son at the ER, wrapped up in a blanket like a burrito, while the doctor removed the rubber stopper my son had put up his nose. Of course, I can't find the photo. But, yeah, I'm that mom, taking pictures in the ER.
My son stuck a raisin up his nose, on a day when my very pregnant friend was babysitting (we were at a wedding). She tried to get it out, but by then it had swollen up and wouldn't budge. She had both my kids, plus hers, and really wasn't up to putting them all in the car and waiting at emergency, so she called her husband home from work to take my son. The husband checked my son in, explained the situation and sat down expecting a long wait. 3 minutes later he said it was like a scene from ER - carrying my son into a cubicle, people coming from all directions shouting instructions to each other etc. They got the tweezers up my son's nose and seemed disappointed that it was only a raisin - they'd heard that he had a RAZOR stuck up it!
You would think they'd be relieved that it was only a raisin. Makes you wonder how many people have actually stuck a razor up their nose?
I saw a headline yesterday about a guy with a flashlight stuck up his bum - he wouldn't say how it got there.

But the squat rack will give you better "bang for your buck" than the Smith machine. You use more stabilizing muscles when squatting in the squat rack (read 'stronger core' here, and who doesn't want that?).
Well, Miss Judgy Pants, there is only 1 squat rack in my gym and it was being used last night. I actually prefer the rack over the machine anyway, because I DO feel like I'm doing more of the work, instead of the machine.
I will wait for the squat rack, and even ask the user when they are going to be done. Get out of my squat rack!!!

I'm waiting to hear from my BIL. My sister's been having headaches and funny vision for a couple of weeks. Yesterday she thought she should get it looked at, so she dropped in hoping her optometrist could see her. She still hasn't been home! It's a partially detached retina. They sent her straight to a specialist who said she had to get picked up (no more driving!) and go directly to the hospital. She needs emergency surgery, which should have happened last night, but the surgeon was already operating, so she had to stay in. Hopefully it will happen this morning. When she gets home she has to spend 2 weeks face down on a massage table, and 6 weeks total off work.
If she's lucky, she'll keep the sight in that eye.
I think we're all in shock.
I hope everything turns out alright!
I will say a prayer for her! 0 -

A few key things about tonight:
I dead lifted 95 lbs. on my first time.
I weigh 135 lbs. which is 8 more than two weeks ago.
I HATE overhead presses.
I think everyone does. And if they don't, then they are wrong.
I STRUGGLED getting that bar up 5x5 and IT WAS JUST THE BAR!!! Mr. Mo was rooting me on though saying things like, "Yeah, baby, use them guns" and "Come on, you can do this!" I felt like a super badass when I got done with my 5x5 though.
I 1000% agree with this statement.
I use an overhead press machine and even with that, I swear the devil made up that exercise......0 -

Thanks all. I've been texting her this morning and no news on a surgery time - although it will almost certainly be today. Time is the essence, it seems. She's more stressed about the fact that she was having a down day yesterday, and didn't shower before she went out! I'm going to see if I can see her in a little bit and will take some nice sprays etc.Thanks all.

Nice. Bonus points if they're the ones with Marshmallows.
I have ate like crap the past three days & have an ear infection. Dinner tonight included a tortilla with MaraNatha Caramel Almond spread & four cups of Post Ice Cream Pebbles.
Feel better soon! I hate ear infections. Ouch...
Thanks. Luckily I am on amoxicillin, but still can't hear that well out of my right ear.
The worst earache/ear infection I ever had when I was around 16-17 years old. I remember it hurt so bad that I was crying & my mom had to drive me to the ER. I am pretty sure my ear infection last year was the same ear.
This happened to me. And three increasingly stronger courses of antibiotics wouldn't kill it off--I had the thing for THREE MONTHS. Boy, did it kill me. It was a fungal infection (which is why the antibiotics weren't working, according to the ENT specialist that saw me after all the antibiotics), which went on to develop a secondary bacterial infection, which then had to be treated with MORE antibiotics. 0 -

I've gotten a fly stuck up my nose. Except that I didn't put it there--it flew right in all by itself. (Which was both disgusting and shocking, as you can imagine.) I had to blow it out, too. Ew.0 -

Ew is right. I haven't gotten one up my nose, but I have ended up eating a mosquito after it flew into my mouth when I was on my bike. It was too far back to properly spit out, but I tried.0 -

There's an older guy at my gym who loves OHP. His upper body looks like a young Arnold Schwarzenegger, so there's that. He has these skinny little legs though and I am always tempted to ask him to please do leg day because he's so disproportionate.

Thanks! I just realized our Smith machine at the gym is set up backwards. Oh well. I like to watch myself while I lift so I can check out my form.
Ha! This made me giggle for some odd reason.
Lately I've been going to the women's gym (I bounce between a women's gym and a co-ed gym depending on which office I am at that day) and I've realized I am a mirror hog. I know that my knees tend to buckle during squats if I'm not careful and when doing OHP my left shoulder will move out of place so I'm constantly on the lookout for that. I'm not vain I swear! LOL
I like and hate watching myself at the same time. I like watching myself so I can check and correct my form if I need to. I hate watching myself because my face gets so red and that little vein I have in my forehead, becomes the size of an *anaconda. One thing that I REALLY like about lifting though, I LOVE pushing myself to see what I'm capable of, which unfortunately, now, is not much.
*might be a slight exaggeration.
only slight
Same. I like to make sure my form is okay, but I also get a little grossed out watching my fat squish as I'm doing squats
I also worry about what it looks like from the back (Sorry to anyone behind me!!!)
I hate seeing my legs & arms when I try to walk fast or run. My arms look like they're full of cottage cheese & Jello.0 -

Yuck to both. I have had that happen a couple times while camping. A fly will go into my pop can and I have to end up spitting him out (gross sorry!).
We got some of those plastic pop covers to prevent that while camping. Hope that helps! 0 -
@ Tubbs216- I hope your sister recovers quickly and is able to see. I can't even imagine.
So far we haven't had any stories with stuff going up the nose, here lately she has been putting things she picks up in her mouth and I have to tell her to stop. I thought that behavior stopped earlier???
Good news on the gym front!! My husband lucked into a super sweet setup for a squat rack and bench and all. I can't wait to get it home to try it out!! It's a Prospot 500. May take a few practice reps to get used to it.0 -
