Rest day. Mom had MRI today so took her to breakfast and a little shopping after.
Telephone conference call with her neuro oncologist in the afternoon. The results were very good except for one small spec which they are going to take another look at in six weeks. As always we choose to be positive.

Is it possible to pull thigh muscles? Climbing a ladder, my right leg failed lifting on the last rung. Maybe the extra weight was too much. Odd, cuz I climbed it fine last month. Anyway, three days of rest and Advil.
My TRX is right next to the kitchen. When my leg's okay, I'll try five squats every time I go in the kitchen. Wimpy, yeah, but baby steps...

Kathy,
If vibrations helps (and maybe they do), please know my heart is joining in the positivity.

Kathy we all need a rest day. And yours was not rest. I choose to be positive with you. Here is to more birthdays.
Paula I think you can injure thigh muscles. Charlie horse maybe? They can be so bad sometimes. I love the baby steps.
I am not counting my squats. I put on some music and did them with a light kettle bell. It was fun. 50 pound bench presses, curls and other weight exercises. Followed by my back/hip stretches.

I started doing kitchen-entrance TRX squats this afternoon. So far only once, but it's a start.

Did really deep slow squats yesterday which were too much for my left knee. So I'm switching to more reps of easier, shallower and faster squats today.

Rest day. Spent some time with Ron. Two of my sisters came over to spend time with mom. I made a pan of lasagna and we had a pajama party. Good fun and way too many carbs even though I only ate a small square. Back at it today.
It will be a busy week. Our Vegas trip is this Thursday and will be back on Sunday. Can’t wait for the 2 concerts. Then my trip with Ron to Jamaica is on Friday. Will unpack to then repack. Should be interesting. My sisters and nieces will take care of mom. It’s hard for me to leave her but I really need this time with my girlfriends and then my time with Ron. So happy my oldest sister is home. I know she will make sure mom is okay.
Take care my friends. I will post and get in a few workouts. The resort has free Wi-Fi. It’s huge so a lot of walking.

Kathy, It warms my heart so much to see you getting so much out of life. Much love to you and your Mom. Hugs to Ron.

Nothing this weekend. Way to busy.

I am now doing ten less strenuous TRX squats per kitchen trip. The nice thing about being so out of shape, is how easy it is to get a workout.
