Hoping for the best!@luluinca if my best wishes for you shoulder could heal, you'd be in that pool out lapping everyone yesterday!
Thanks, that's really a great wish!!! I have an appt Tuesday with an orthopedic surgeon, not sure how much I'll know at the first appointment but I'm pretty sure it's a rotator cuff tear.............hopefully not too bad and hopefully I'm wrong!
This is my 4th injury in 2.5 years but I'm not giving up................there's always a work around an injury and the other 3 went away with time and effort so I'll fix this one too!
The thing I'm most worried about is whether I'll be able to swim this summer............but I'm determined!!!

Happy weekend!
Very strange my post yesterday was cut short. Has this happened to anyone else?
Yesterday's workout: led a circuit class & went to Krav Maga. No strength work.
Today: went to an indoor obstacle course. I really enjoyed dirching the ring swings & falling into the ball pit! Course included wall climbing, rope climbing, rock wall, tire pull, crawling (so nice to have mats under your knees). I tried the battle ropes, first time wow what a workout that is. Afterwards sid a 3 mile light walk/jog.
Assessment: pizza & wine last night, over calories. Today homemade soup for dinner. Calories & macros on target.

Took a rest day yesterday but worked hard around here and then went to PF Chang's for dinner.....yumm.
Today I made it to the gym. I'm trying really hard to enjoy running since I can't really enjoy weight lifting right now. It's going better than I expected and I may go to one of the local tracks tomorrow and just run for as long as I can, without overdoing it of course, and see how I do.

Yesterday and today, cardio = pacing in my house, because snowbound. Made my goal.
Strength = nothing worth mentioning. Back is a bit stiff from lifting heavy stuff around the house, so babying it a little.
Assessment = food on track both days. All's good here. Looking forward to being able to get outside soon though!0 -
Hey gang,
I like myself unconditionally!
Happy Monday! 4 clients this morning then 4 tonight. Can't believe January is almost over already!

Morning all
Cardio-no
Strength- squat 10,10,7,5,3,3,2,2,1,1,1,1,2 bench 10,7,5,4,3,2,2,1,1,1,2,2,1
Food- the weekend was shot.0 -
Hello everyone, happy Monday!
Cardio: Short dreadmill run, 1 mile @ 5 & 6 mph with some incline mixed in. Read 130 cal. If the weather stays good (clear and in the 20's) then I will try and get in a two mile run outside with my dog after work.
Strength: Same lifting routine as yesterday, but with 10lb weights instead of 8lb weights.
Squat 10lb x 15
Deadlift with back row 10lb x 20
Holding bridge with chest press 10lb x 20
Wood chop 10lb x 12 each side
Reverse fly 10lb x 15 (VERY weak in this move, can't fully extend)
Squat with overhead press 10lb x 20
Side lunge with bicep curl 10lb x 20 each side
Lawn mower- 10lb x 20 each side
Overhead reach with leg lift- 10lb x 20 each side
PLUS: Weight assisted pull ups & dips - 5 each @ 60lb
Assessment: Great! Feeling good. Had full fat Noosa yogurt for breakfast this morning with a few almonds and raspberries. As I have been experimenting with meal times I find that a bulky breakfast, 300-500 cal, keeps me much more satisfied throughout the day. As opposed to when I would try to skip breakfast, and I could never get rid of that edge of hunger throughout the day and stay within my calorie targets. This applies more to weekday routines when I'm up early and at work.
Cheers all, have great days!0 -
Cardio - Zumba 60 mins (850 calories)0
-

Cardio: Went out for another 3.5 mile walk/run and today ran 2.25 miles of it so increased that a bit. Missing swimming but I'm getting used to running and decided I don't hate it.....LOL

@MJFSH "Nutrition: I was a bottomless food monster yesterday! phew! stuffed my face, over, over and over again! yuck!" ...LMAO this made me laugh...must be a full moon or something I did the same thing yesterday...watched a movie & stuffed my face...no idea how much crap I ingested....

Sooooo, had my ortho appt this morning. Doc says it's likely "frozen shoulder".........inflammation caused by me trying to work through an injury for several months and it gradually just got worse and worse. Got a cortisone shot, RX for Tramadol and PT for 2 months. He said I should be good as new in 2 to 3 months.
All in all not too bad since there is a solution to this which doesn't involve surgery..........yipppeee!!! He also told me that I was the healthiest 65 year old he's seen in years..........so keep working all you youngsters!0 -
Happy Tuesday all!
@luluinca ouch that shot sounds painful! Happy to hear surgery is not needed.
Strength none
Cardio 1.75 mile jog 5.0 mph
1st session with PT today reviewed goals & took some baseline form & movement measures. Reviewed form on barbell front squats, OHP & pull-ups. Completed various exercises on the bosu & free motion cable machine. Goals include improved single leg balance & sustain as much power as possible for 3-5 mins.
