The top one started off with a nice shoulder roll. Then kept getting harder with each exercise. But the second one had a lot of floor exercises which I was definitely liking more. Reminded me a bit of yoga at times. Nice choices Chris

My little shih tzu Libby has to have surgery on her back leg. The knee cap keeps popping out. Dr. Holmes gave us a 10% discount for being 65. And an extra 5% for the work we do on their aquarium. He actually said he noticed how much cleaner it is looking. We are really hoping that Libby gets a new outlook on life. She is such a little sweetheart.

I will do better this month. I expect to be released and start doing more workouts.

Kathy

Chris I am not sure if the horses were recovered. I sure hope so. The exploding potato sounds awesome.

I hope you hear back from your doctor soon. I was so hopeful for you. I think Libbys doctor could squeeze you in. 😘 I am very hopeful for her. I think he popped her knee back in when he was examining her. She has been doing better since her checkup.

Kathy what type of workout are you hoping to be doing soon? I can't believe how well you have been doing with your weight goal. Great going.

I am under 150 finally. 146.4 this morning. Now to dip a little lower. Did a Body Pump class today. It was great.

Shelley

Chris you both deserve some time together by yourselves. Enjoy 😊

Kathy thanks. Now if I can stay there. My mom is doing better. Had her icing for a few days. We are going to the Silver Fox for dinner tomorrow night. Celebrating my birthday with my mom for the first time in years. Then taking her home on Wednesday. Probably just half way. Meeting my sister and then returning home.

Our darling little Libby is having her knee surgery on Wednesday also. Pick up on Thursday.

Still at 145.8 this morning. I will take it.

Shelley

Chris I ate cake with ice cream! Hopefully you hear from your doctor soon.

Kathy 🤞 crossed that you can begin to work out soon.

My mom goes back tomorrow. We will meet my sister about halfway there. Libby goes into the vets first for her surgery. It will be a really long day.

Wrong direction.

Kathy

Chris I so am with you. We just never know how good we have it until it's gone. I am happy that you can keep your trainer longer. I think people want to much for home's myself. I feel so bad for young people wanting their first home. But I see it both ways.

Hmmm, what about icing your foot more. Or rolling it on one of those massage rollers?

Kathy that is only a little bit in the wrong direction. You just needed to pee more. 🤪 You got this.

We drove my mom halfway home. Met my sister and had dinner together. Then drove back to Casper. Made for a really long day. Our darling little Libby had knee surgery while we were on the road. Picked her up this morning. We have lots of physical therapy to do with her. Manipulating the leg. Icing it. Meds. No running, jumping or stairs. Poor gal.

Looks a little like a drum stick. She breaks my heart when she screams though. Hoping for a complete recovery. They gave us another 2% off on top of the 15% for being seniors and cleaning their tank for paying with cash. We have to take her in for laser treatments twice a week for a month.

Still under 150. Going for 142 by the end of October.

Thursday - minutes of PT, 20 minutes on recumbent.

One more PT session Monday and I see the doctor Wednesday. I should be able to start light strength training 3-4 days a week for 30-45 minutes. . As Greg said listen to your body. If there’s pain stop.

Chris definitely try ice. If there inflammation it helps.

Shelley take care of Libby. That looks painful. Hopefully her recovery will be fast.

Kathy

Kathy you are so right. Listen to your body. So excited for you. I have been snuggling with Libby all day.

Chris icing is what works or me. Got me through the academy both times. I want a donut too.

Update on Libby. Seemed to be able to get around a little more today. Not really putting weight on the foot yet though. Her surgeon said she probably wouldn't for a few days. Icing and doing her physical therapy though. Mostly consists of doing bicycling movements with it. We ice her leg for 15 minutes right before doing it. Making sure to keep the joint moving. 15 times for each exercise for now.

I have to start back in the gym. To easy to stay home with Libby. And before her my mom. Weight is still holding under 150. Oh and trying to learn how to do some updos with my hair. I need a new look.

Shelley

it’s official I’ve been released by my doctor from PT. Everything looks good and ant pain is minimal. I have to continue my home workouts which are mostly stretching and core work. I will add cardio and some strength starting tomorrow morning. I was told 3-4 days a week.
So happy.

Kathy
