Hi ladies, I hope you had a great weekend. We had a nice weekend. We had a nice surprise on Friday night, it rained! The last time I checked the forecast didn't show chances of rain, but somehow there were 53% chances of rain! It got very windy too. The chances of rain have disappeared from the forecast again. We were…

Hi ladies, my workouts on Thursday were Walking X2, Yoga for Flexibility and Caroline Girvan Quads. The yoga workout was on the floor and more of a lower body stretch. It felt good to do it. Laurie, nice workout!! I'm glad the snow wasn't too bad. That slushy stuff is nasty, though. I meant to ask about the snow removal in…

Hi ladies, my workouts on Wednesday were walking X2 and Gina B 60's power walk. PT was brutal! The PT worked on stretching my arm and it was painful. I got a new exercise. It's a bench press into a pullover using a stick. The press part was easy. The pullover was more of a challenge, but I was able to go pretty far back.…

Hi ladies, my workouts on Tuesday were Walking, Gina B Power Walk, CG Glutes. I had a breakthrough day with my arm today. I have a long handle comb and I was able to comb my hair using my right hand. I was able to reach my head without leaning forward. I was able to pull my hair up into a ponytail too! That's huge! The…

Hi ladies, my workouts on Monday were walking X2, Tracy Steen Standing Abs Hiit. I can always count on Tracy for added lower body work during cardio. We got more rain on Monday and the wind was howling Monday night. We're under a wind advisory until Tuesday afternoon. I got a new PT exercise on Monday. I'm doing finger…

Hi ladies, I hope you had a good weekend. We didn't get as much rain as originally predicted. On Saturday we got about 1 inch. Sunday was not rainy at all, the rain started late Sunday night. My workouts on Friday were walking and legs. Saturday - walking. Sunday - Walkging and Heather Robertson Hamstrings & Quads. Laurie,…

Hi ladies, my workouts on Thursday were Walking, Caroline Girvan Glutes Workout and Gina B HIIT for Weight Loss. Laurie, great workout! You do need to use lower weights when using the stability ball. Cathy mentiones that in some of her workouts. I hope that by the time we get Cathe's new workout program, I'll be able to do…

Hi ladies, my workouts on Wednesday were Walking X2 and Tracy Steen INNER and OUTER Thigh Workout. I preordered Cathe's new program. I can't believe it's going out in the summer! The stabbing pain finally stopped! I am worried that I have PT with the same therapist on Friday, though. Laurie, your body needed the rest!…

Hi Ladies, since my brutal bicep massage on Monday I've been getting the stabbing pain and I hate it! I had PT on Tuesday afternoon with a different PT, and she kept it gentle. She gave me an ice cube massage! I'd never heard of such thing, but it felt sooo yummy! She held an ice cube with a washcloth and rubbed it gently…

Hi ladies, my workouts on Monday were Walking and Tracy Steen Low Impact Cardio and Standing Abs. Next week will be my last week of PT 3 times a week, then PT will be twice a week for a while. I believe that toward the end of March we'll start working on strength. I can just see them giving me a 1 lb. dumbbell. I use one…

Hi Ladies, I hope you had a nice weekend. Ours was good and very busy. We adopted a little dog, and she is a bit of a special needs dog. She was hit by a car on 12/31 and she walks a little wobbly. She is 10-12 years old and is a total sweetie. Vets think that there was a problem with her legs prior to the accident. We…

Hi Ladies, my workouts on Thursday were Walking X2 and Tracy Steen No Repeat Legs and Abs. I believe I've figured out the cause of my upper back issues. It was recommended to me by my surgeon's nurse to use racer back bras during my recovery. I bought two different styles. One has thin straps, and it crisscrosses in…

Hi Ladies, my back has been killing me. I think it all started when I started sleeping back on our bed over the weekend. I can't get my upper back to relax no matter how much I massage or move. I'm 5 weeks post op and my PT told me that I am exactly where I need to be as he took my arm into an overhead raise while I was…

Hi Ladies, my workouts on Tuesday were walking and Gina B. Latin Pop Dance Cardio. We got rain on Tuesday night! It was a nice surprise to me. Laurie, great workouts! I don't think many people love Bulgarian squats! LOL Laurel, great workouts! We had sunshine on Tuesday too. See you tomorrow! Thelma

Hi ladies! Monday was cold and raw. I wasn't expecting to feel so cold at all. Mu workouts on Monday were walking and Jessica Smith Belly Buns and Thighs Walk. Laurie, sounds like you had a very nice weekend! Great workouts! Laurel, I'm glad your DH made it back home safely! Great workouts! A lot of my little achievements…

Hi ladies, I hope you had a nice weekend. We had a nice weekend. Saturday was pretty rainy, and Sunday was dry but very windy. It started to rain again late Sunday night. My workouts on Friday were Walking and Tracy Steen No Repeat Cardio & Strength HIIT Workout. Saturday - Walking, and Tracy Steen No Repeat Cardio &…

Hi Ladies, we have gotten almost 3" of rain between Wednesday night and Thursday. Some rain is expected on Friday morning, then a lot of rain back on Saturday. I've made good progress with my arm. I can now reach my left armpit! The things we take for granted! I can hook up my bra and dress myself. Making the chili by…

Hi Ladies, my workouts on Wednesday were walking and Tracy Steen No Jump Cardio & Standing Ab Workout It is raining here and we're under flash flood warning through Friday. My shoulder is feeling pretty good, and I've started PT exercises to help me raise my arm again. My regular PT was off on Wednesday and the backup…

Hi Ladies, I haven't missed the sling for one second! I don't know how the doctor said I could start doing my daily living activities such as bathing, eating, washing my hair. I am having to learn to eat with my right hand. I can't wash my hair because I can't reach my head. I can already see that I've gained some range in…

I'm off the sling!!! I'm so happy! The doctor said I could do normal daily right handed activities, like showering, washing my hair, eating. No lifting of course. Will write more later! Thelma

Hi Ladies, my workouts on Monday were walking and Gina B Hiit Low Impact workout. DH drove me to the restaurant I was meeting my yoga friends for lunch. It was a lot of fun. There's a supermarket there too, so I went food shopping. It's a good thing they have the small shopping carts, because I wouldn't have been able to…

Hi ladies! I hope you had a good weekend. We survived the arctic air! We are expected to get a lot of rain in the middle of the week. We need a lot of rain, but I hope it won't flood the area again. I had a bit of a miserable weekend. My shoulder throbbed all day Friday after PT. I had been told this could happen. I was…

Hi ladies, I'm happy to report that my arm feels normal again. My workouts on Thursday were walking and a Gina B cardio workout. We are bracing for the next hit of arctic air. DH did our food shopping on Thursday morning. After three weeks DH felt it was safe to leave me alone at home for a couple of hours and went out to…

Hi ladies! Sorry i didn't post the other night, but MFP logged me out and I don't know my password. I couldn't get to my secure password file because it's in the bedroom and DH was already asleep. I'm still sleeping in the living room. It's been brutally cold here and we almost ran out of propane on Tuesday. We were down…

Hi ladies! We only got a little bit of rain on Monday during the day and a little more Monday night. The high for Tuesday will be 26! I am sure there will be ice on the roads in the morning. I don't think we'll see snow here. There have been lots of school cancelations all over GA for Tuesday because of the potentially icy…

Hi ladies! I hope you had a great weekend. Ours was pretty good. It was busy as usual, but good. We are expected to get hit with arctic air Tuesday, but before that we'll get some snow and frozen rain. We're under a winter advisory from 1am Monday to 7am tuesday. The storm for last Friday didn't happen. We got 1/10 inch of…

Hi ladies, Thursday was a blah day for me. I didn't sleep well, so I felt sluggish all day. I did two walking sessions for workouts. We've been upgraded to a level 2 storm. We are expected to get rain and 30-50 mph winds. I resumed my injections Thursday afternoon and I was able to do it by myself. Another small victory!…

Hi ladies, we didn't have black ice this morning. Yaaay! PT went great and now I'm getting out of the sling every two hours. Friday's storm has been downgraded to level 1 for us. Southern GA is going to get hit pretty hard. My workouts on Wednesday were walking and Jessica Smith low impact cardio. I can't believe I'm at…

Hi ladies, I didn't have the pain last night. Hopefully I won't have it tonight either. The wind is blowing like crazy here. I can't believe it's snowing. I just looked outside and there's a dusting over the grassy areas. I'm afraid there will be black ice tomorrow morning. It's 34 and will be 29 degrees around 8-9am. I…

Hi Ladies, I was tired today. I've not slept well the last three nights because I've been getting a stabbing pain in my bicep right before I went to bed. It's strange that it happens only at night. Today was a good day for my arm. I'm allowed to get out of the sling, lean forward and allow my arm to dangle in front of me…
