    I managed a shower last night....so, I do feel better today. My husband soaped my hair and body and I held a wash-cloth over my eye. I am SO UBER-PROTECTIVE of my eye, it isn't even funny. Weird.

    Tomorrow is next surgery - can't wait until it's over and then REAL AND FULL RECOVERY can begin.

    While I don't relish the DOMs that will come with my return to the gym later this month....at least, I'll know that, when I'm there, it also means I'm well on my way to "recovery" - and THAT is VERY MEANINGFUL to me!

    Beeps- good luck with your surgery tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you.

    Rest day for me which is really good cause I am super tired today. I may cancel my evening activities so that I can relax at home. It all depends on how the rest of the afternoon goes.

    30 DS dvd for me tomorrow instead of the gym. My hubby has an early morning Dr. appointment so there won't be time. I will get there on Saturday for sure!

    princessofred - that means you're already doing 1 chin-up - HOW AWESOME!

    Getting from 1- to 2- will be WAY tougher than, for example, getting from 9- to 10-....because, you're actually having to expend 100% times the effort. By the time you can do 9-, you only have to expend a little more effort to get to 10.

    Anyway, you're on track to go get this - I'M TOTALLY JEALOUS!

    I took a 90 minute boot camp and boxing challenge on Labor Day and It took my breath away and I almost hurled also. I really do not mind being 42, however, I really wished I had been this persistent about working out in my 20's, perhaps I would be rock solid now. I will keep fighting until I get there.

    Whoohoo, we rolled it!

    Did my usual sculpt class this morning and was very happy to be able to make it through without dropping below 10 lbs for my heavies. I know that isn't all that heavy, but until recently I haven't been able to make it through things like shoulder presses at that level, so it's progress for me. Don't know if it's allergies (ragweed season?) or just today's early start, but I have been so exhausted all day today. Gotta try to get to bed a little earlier this evening.

    Beeps, good luck tomorrow! And Chelle, what a beautiful sunset!
