Hello Shape Shifters! I could not resist a late addition. When someone asks to be on a team, they get it! Please welcome @Tomsgal1985 - thanks!3

Wednesday Check-in
I had a smooth morning (as planned- I wrote it out the prior night). Did my early wake time, lemon water, treadmill walk while studying, healthy & hearty warm breakfast. So far a great start.
Challenge: my hips are always problematic (stiff/achy), I'm incorporating mobility stretches after my treadmill walk, so I'm sure that should help, but these stretches often feel monotonous (boring).
@Pupowl - I absolutely love that you share those daily cards. They have such positive messages & insights.4 -

Happy for the small loss, but honestly, I haven't been putting in any work. I am going through a major slump right now. I need to get back to the gym and start tracking my food again.3 -

I had a lovely day today as my youngest son kindly took me out for lunch.A delayed Mother's Day treat.We went to an Italian restaurant & shared a starter & a pizza.I tried to resist a desert but ended up having a sticky toffee pudding.I was so stuffed I didn't have an evening meal so hopefully I didn't go too much over my calories.
@CasandraW I'm sorry you've had such bad news especially as you weren't expecting it after a routine test.I hope you get seen soon & get advice about treatment.Cancer is such a scary word & I can understand that you may not want to worry your kids until you know what you're dealing with.I hope you're able to feel positive & get the support you need.You know we're hear for you 🩷
And I keep forgetting to say welcome back to @Yukie_OP & welcome to all new members that have joined us recently.4 -
Wednesday ~ March 13
Good morning Shape Shifters. I had a good nights sleep with a high sleep score despite one godawful nightmare about Tinus. It was another very grey, wet and foggy day here. My walk was nice and fairly quiet. I did two loads of laundry and in the afternoon I picked up a package with new hiking socks and a plum colored wide brimmed hat for summer. After that I got in my gym rings workout which went well. I am curious to see what my measurements will be like this Sunday. I take them once a month and just going by what I see in the mirror, I think my arms are looking better. While my weight in February was close to my previous lowest weight in January 2022, the numbers across almost all bodyparts were a lot worse. I think because back then I went to the gym so I hope the rings are making a difference. Not a very interesting day, but I needed some quiet anyway so it was nice.Happy Thursday everyone
walk, good sleep & food, gym rings workout 
nothing!

Good Morning ShapeShifters!
Does anybody have any recommendations for back stretches or back strength training videos etc? I have had a sore back for days now. It is spazzing up and painful. I have tried stretching my back, Voltaren cream, and soaking in a hot tub. All that helps but then the next day it starts with a cool trickle sensation on the one side of my back then it starts spazzing and aching. It's not pleasant at all. I have been to a chiropractor recently (last month) so I don't believe my back is out. Thanx for any help

@JenHul -- Sounds like a pinched nerve or something, ouch. Yoga with Adriene has a lot of back focused stretch videos. Also on Youtube I enjoy videos from HasFit and one of my favorites because he's funny and keeps me company, Sean Vigue.
I hope it's better soon - back problems are no fun. I have a few issues with mine for sure.4 -

Well i went to see both my GP and got a late afternoon appt. for the ortho clinic
Took x-rays on my right knee - no cartilage left- bone rubbing on bone & arthritis really kicked in and caused the swelling- eventually I'll need a knee replacement, but in the meantime I was given a steroid shot - swelling went down a little bit so at least I can bend it more5 -

I’m glad it’s a bit better though. My parents both get steroid shots in their knees. They normally notice the most improvement after a week.
