Welcome to all our new members, this is a great group to be part of
Had a PT/physio session this morning; my QL isn't as rehabilitated as we thought, so we're doing an 8-week programme this time instead of 4. We did 1/3 mobility work, 1/3 hands on physio (much more comfortable than when I saw him on Saturday!) and 1/3 strength where we were doing single leg body weight squats. Interestingly, my left side is generally weaker than my right (I'm right handed, and it's the right QL that is unhappy) but the left leg was fatiguing gradually and evenly, whereas the right leg fatigued very suddenly and it was noticeably only certain muscles, plus my nervous system on that side which went rather numb. I find this stuff fascinating! If I were better at biology, I could totally retrain as a physiotherapist.3 -
@healthygirlintransit It just finally dawned on me that you WERE with this team before! I do the tallies for all the teams, so sometimes the usernames just jumble up in my brain... In any case, it's great that you are back for more
A big welcome to @jeezlawheeze - your user name cracks me up! My family is full of Luise/Louise people. My grandmother, mother, sister, and daughter all carry that name either as first or middle. They're everywhere!!
We're looking forward to your intros, news, updates, and all the things.3 -
@DD265 you just sent me to the interwebs to look up QL - quadratus lumborum - the deepest of our back core muscles. Fascinating! I love learning about all the connections and implications of our muscles, but can't do it in large doses or I forget too much. One muscle at a time works for me! Thanks for mentioning it.
I'm just reading Katy Bowman's most recent book Rethink Your Position. I love her stuff - it makes thinking about our position and movement during every day life so interesting, and helps address ongoing unhelpful habits before they cause big problems. Her website nutritiousmovement.com has all her books and lots of resources.
On that note - time to get moving!3 -
@jugar my physio (who is actually a sports injury therapist) says that it's the most commonly injured back muscle in his experience. I don't recommend it; when said muscle cramps, it pulls all the way across the lower back, up to the shoulder, and down the leg! I've got an old book called The New Rules of Posture by Mary Bond which is very good - bought that one when I was still riding horses.2

@cleaneater80
Thank you for the welcome. My birthday is this weekend, it is a holiday, and we have family in town - all of whom drink. It is definitely going to be tough this week, but I'm confident I can stay the course.
Two drinks/week is hard, summer or not. Great work though! Keep it up!3 -

Welcome to all the new members!
@jugar I am away from my scale until Thursday. I developed a UTI, am stressed at work, and while I love my parents visiting, 1 week of house guests and hosting is draining. Plus I definitely didn't eat according to plan.
I am getting back on plan tonight. I need to drink a bunch of water for more than 1 reason.2 -

I had a fun workout with Jasper today - we worked on transitions, balance, and the body diagonals - it is amazing to me how my connecting the movements of one of my legs with the opposite hand, moving through the seat and shoulders, can help that large beast move his hind leg on the same side as my leg in a better connection to his opposite side foreleg, shoulder and neck. All while he was somewhat distracted by a horse just outside the gate with two gabbing people! He was hilarious in his efforts to go eavesdrop on them. In any case, we worked up a good sweat, and then cooled off in the pre-thunderstorm breezes down the road and back. He is getting more and more at ease in his new environment. For those of you who are new here, Jasper is my lovely young horse who just arrived here about a month ago from Alberta (I'm in Québec) and we're having a blast. Here he is just before we started today -

@jugar - I just wanted to make sure you saw my weigh-in on 6/23! I posted it but saw the note asking me for my weigh-in.
I just thought I would share something funny! I did a workout this morning that included sumo squats. Well, my shorts did not like that at all, and they ripped! I was thankful I was doing my workout at home so that no one else saw. I ended up just working through the ripped shorts instead of changing them because I didn’t want to get another pair sweaty 😂3 -

I love the shorts story. Sumo squats definitely need baggy shorts!

@jugar love the updates on Jasper - He's so handsome
I can't quite kick this snacking after dinner habit I've gained. Working on lots of water and distractions but I'll get there.2 -
