My daughter finished the autism speaks 5k in 33:08. I am proud of her.
I am still grounded from running on pavement. Lifting strengthens the muscles that hold my bad disc in place and so the docs want me to do it as physical therapy. Running on pavement delivers shock waves up the spine. 1-3 mile trail runs are an option, according to my orthopedic doc. He lifts at my gym and is fine with me resuming 5x5 as long as I stop at the first sign of stress on L5-S1. Today I did 80 lb squats, 60 lb OHP, and 125 DL. No pain at all, but failed on rep 4 of the last set of OHP.4 -

Nice work, Mel!0 -
@froggybug Thank you for the birthday card. I tried to message you but I couldn't get it to send. Kept saying invalid so thanking you publicly. Hope all is well!

I need to apologize to all the people that had birthdays.
My life has been in an upheaval since Christmas.0 -
Thank you all for the welcome, and making me feel a little bit better about my "fails."
I got a new confession:
I am terrified of lifting by myself. I just found out that my trainer won't be able to take me at my old time, so I may have to work solo. The branch that I used to train in shut down, so I have to use the other one, and a lot of the equipment is different!
I'm scared of becoming one of those memes -- like the guy eating the PF pizza and doing some weird exercise with crappy form.
I haven't lifted in 2+ weeks, so I have to get back on the wagon ASAP. Hopefully I get the courage to go lift today after Zumba.
Wish me luck!2 -
Still alive ya'll! I love zumba and I love it even more because my cousin is the instructor at the gym I go to! After Vegas I'm coming home to hit it hard and to try out aqua zumba! So tired today to ugh! This weekend was all late nights and early mornings. Cheer practice, laundry, and packing...

I hope it goes well! If in doubt ask someone how to use it. There must be staff in the gym who can show you? 2 weeks isn't too long, you might be a little achy.2 -

I have this same problem. Tried Body Balance for a few weeks and half way through the course during the stretching period, I managed to fart like a machine gun. I never went back. *blush*1 -

You got this. I mean, obviously, skip the pizza, but rely on what you have learned and get to work. Good luck!2 -
I confess I am a bit ticked off currently. My sister got the okay to go to the gym after having Bennett, so she went today for her first time. She was doing Leg Press (25lbs) and a woman had the audacity to go up to her and ask if she was new and then proceed to tell her all about how she shouldn't lift heavy cause she'll get manly.
Obviously she has me as a reference as well as her SIL (who does bikini competitions) but why in the world do people think doing stupid things like this is okay?!0 -
We went a spa/resort over the weekend. Steam rooms, cold rooms and scented saunas oh my! We had a fantastic dinner and genuinely just enjoyed lazing around with each other.

On my birthday my wife made me a chocolate pie w/ whipped cream but it was too chocolaty for both her and the kids. Pretty sure it has (had) 7000 calories, oh, plus the fudge greek yogurt ice cream that I needed.
It only took three nights, but I did get to watch Star Wars twice. 3 -

They just want to wax intellegent and they are not. They don't know what they are talking about.

You need to arm your sister with this picture to show people who instruct her not to heavy lift0 -

Confession - I kicked a guy out of the squat rack last night at the gym.
My justification - he was on the incline bench...doing DUMBBELL presses. In the squat rack.
So, I asked him to move. He can do that anywhere. I cannot squat anywhere - you gotta be in the squat rack for that!!!
Then I knocked out two sets of NINE pull-ups. Just to show him who the big dog in the gym really is. (I also did a set of 7 and a set of 6.) 9
