Worked like a dog in my garden, then whacked them weeds without mercy, melted me face off

No, I saw some of those. I'll check next time.

I went to the YMCA today. The time in the pool was great, but getting from my car to the women's locker room and then from there to the pool was really hard. My knee is causing me a lot of pain. They have a plastic stair to make it easier for older and handicapped peoe to enter the pool, but it is wobbly and still pretty steep. Honestly it was a demoralizing experience today. It feels like I am just not able to navigate these obstacles without a lot of pain and some fear.

Just saw this. Sorry. No, I was using the tens for pulled back muscles. A lot of people benefit from them. I don't know that it speeds healing, but it can reduce pain.

I walked 30 minutes to the gym. I then ended up not having time for the gym because I'd been wandering in and out of shops :D. It was a nice walk because it was beautiful weather, and everyone was happy. It felt like Finally Summer.

Better...

I'd been a little blue for the last few weeks...lots of stress with tons going on...so this morning I swam some laps in the pool. It got me revved up enough to get moving. Yeah, I'm feeling better.

Canela, I'm sorry you've been feeling blue. But I'm glad you went out to see on the pool. Yay!! :)

I miss my PT pool therapy.... maybe by fall, I'll get to do that again.

I didn't do much of anything today except a few light household chores.

I did spend a little bit of time meditating and sometimes that's not easy to do.

I'll make up for my lack of mobility today by shopping for groceries and household appliances on Ruby Tuesday (loved that restaurant ).

I'm glad the swim helped you out today, Canela!

G, it sounds like you got some desert rain today! I bet it smelled lovely!

I love it that you got out to shop today, J. Nice!!

Gemme? You going shopping soon too? That plank exercise you do with your trainer sounds incredibly ... tough.
Have you tried rowing like Easy???

*waves hello to everyone * :)

Exercise...
 

15 min. of yoga early this morning, and walked a few blocks to get to a seminar and back.

I have to ask.

Does it count as exercise if your ex keeps you on a merry go round? Because I will say this. I have lost like 4 pants sizes. So that's good,right?

I mean we talk about healthy stress and unhealthy. Anyone wanna borrow my ex? Hahaha.

1 hour on the treadmill watching storage wars (3 miles 300 calories)

1 hour on the treadmill watching youtube

I spent yesterday packing up more of my house. I sorta over did it, by also going down to check the mail. When I laid down at bedtime, my body locked up. Thankfully I could get out of bed today.

Today I plan to rest.

Tomorrow I plan to go shopping, which naturally is an time consuming activity and involves lots of walking.

Sunday I plan to rest.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Next week involves more walking on certain days, for special appts (doctor, attorney, new place of residence, etc).

*Huzzah*

:kissy:

Exercise...
 

15 min. of yoga. My goal is to do at least 15 min. of yoga each morning for a min. of 30 days. :)

Does this count?

Unloaded 22 pallets off the truck early morning in the back woods. (will use the wood to burn stumps)

It made my biceps a little achey. (achie??, achy??) Well, they hurt briefly for a short while.
:)

Hey Martina
 

Thank you for the info on the TENS. I am seriosly thinking about purchasing one, though my pain is no longer constant and most times not severe like it was. I believe PT twice a week is helping.

I am so sorry your knee is hurting. Pain is pain, regardless which area on one's body is hurting. And it gets so tiresome when you cannot get a breaktime from it.

Take care of it, wishing it to feel better very, very soon!
