    Hey Ladies,

    Just wanted you to know that I'm doing okay. This week I had a surprise, and it was that I was training someone this whole week. I will get caught up at some point with the thread.

    Have a great day!

    Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was LITE Cardio Party and Calorie Crush, the Functional Core Bonus from LMR and 20 minutes of yoga.

    Thelma, I’m sorry about the yoga class. That must have been frustrating. I am also sorry your electrician couldn’t get there. But the fact you didn’t have any issues yesterday with the circuits is good. We didn’t get much rain yesterday either but it is so humid everything is wet. I saw a chart that we are 3” above normal in rain fall for the year right now, which is such good news. But I really don’t want severe storms right now because when the ground is this wet, that is when the fully-leaved trees start tumbling. Here’s hoping those storms stay away this weekend.

    Laurie, thank you for checking in. I admit…..I worry. 😎 Hope the training goes well and you feel good about leaving everything in somebody else’s hands at the end of the month.

    See you tomorrow.

    Hi Ladies, my first PT went well. I'd found a PT video that basically showed exactly what I think is happening with my scapula and it has to do with a tight ribcage. Anyway, my PT watched the video and understood what I was talking about. He helped me to loosen my ribs up. He basically hugged me from behind while I was sitting on the table and moved my upper body around and pushed on my ribs. He said he actually heard them crack. I could tell he'd loosen me up because I was breathing better. I've had chiropractors as recently as last month tell me my rib cage is tight. I didn't know how big of roll the ribs play in the scapula mechanics. When the front of the rib cage is tight it affects the internal rotation, which is my problem. The back of the rib cage affects external rotation.

    I can do upper body work except overhead presses.
    My workouts on Wednesday were walking and CG Epic Heat - Shoulders. The first set of moves were overhead presses, so I did ab work instead. Everything else I was able to do or modify. I used 2 and 3 lb. weights.

    We got a little rain in the morning, and it sounds like it is raining now.

    We still haven't been able to get the TVs to trip the breakers. The electricians were here today and replaced the four breakers that were tripped by the TVs.

    Laurie, there you are! I thought you were traveling, but I didn't remember you saying anything about a trip. Sorry you got a surprise trainee! DH has started his brain dump too!

    Laurel, great workouts!
    Getting ready to go to a yoga class and not have an instructor show up was definitely frustrating.
    We really have had a lot of rain. I found an app that shows rain totals and last month we got 6.75" and this month so far, we've gotten 4.72"
    I hear you about not wanting severe storms because the ground is already saturated.

    I do feel better that we haven't been able to trip the breakers again. I hope it won't happen again.

    See you tomorrow!

    Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was LITE Stacked Sets Lower Body, a 20 minute spin and Peloton yoga. DH has been gone this week (for the first time in a couple of months) which means everything is going wrong around the house. The worst thing is we apparently have a creature trapped in our attic located right over the bedroom and it ‘digs’ all night long. This started on Monday, and I think me going into the attic to try to find it would result in more harm (to me) than any good that would come out of it. 😎 DH agreed, but told me to wait until he gets home so he can check it out before we call anybody. So I have had little sleep this week. I ended up in the spare bedroom last night, but that didn’t help much. So today’s workout was definitely on the lighter side. Thankfully DH is back today.

    Thelma, great workouts. I am glad you had a good PT appointment and that you are good to work shoulders minus overhead presses. Honestly if I never had to do overhead presses again, I think I might be okay. Over the last six months or so I have decided that is one move I won’t push too much weight on because it is the one that hurts my shoulder the most, especially in the front shoulder/bicep area. Hopefully you can get back to them if you want without causing pain. I’m glad your TVs are working without tripping the breakers. Hopefully that was just a weird situation that won’t repeat itself.

    See you tomorrow.

    Hi Ladies! My workouts on Thursday were walking, and hot yoga. I was exhausted on Thursday. I was really dragging. I allowed myself to take a nap in the afternoon.

    My shoulder feels much better. Not because of the PT, I just think things are healing after all this time. The scapula feels better, but I know it's still an issue. The bicep tendonitis is also better but it's still an issue. The thing that I'm having the hardest time with is the internal rotation problem.

    Laurel, great workouts! I agree on overhead shoulder presses. I'll have to ask the PT for an alternative for this exercise. I just read that incline and Arnold shoulder presses, as well as landmines are good alternatives. I like the Arnold presses a lot. I tried a landmine today with just a broom stick and I liked how it felt.

    I'm so sorry you have a critter up in your attic! I hope your DH is able to get it. You need a trap, though.

    I hope we won't have any crazy weather this weekend.

    Have a wonderful weekend and good luck catching that critter.
    Thelma
