So, I'm not around these parts much any more. Yeah, I'm one of those Facebook converts. I guess the one sentence update just works better for the amount of time I have these days. But sometimes it doesn't. Regardless, not much going on. For those that don't do FB, I recently fell of a ladder (sorta) twisted my back up pretty good and now have ( Read more... )

Was supposed to work out Saturday and Sunday, but didn't. Saturday I walked a lot while shopping for furniture, but I also ate an ice cream cone, so, that sorta cancels out the walking. Sunday, well I didn't even walk a lot. I did work 6 hours though. Yesterday I got on the treadmill and gave in to the voice that said to run until it hurts ( ( Read more... )

25 minutes of yoga on Wednesday, just wasn't feeling more than that. 3.5 miles at 5% incline minimum, average 3.5 mph on Thursday. Today off day. Back is crackly today but not bad.

45 minutes on the elliptical got me somewhere around 4 miles, used the "cross country" program which kept the resistance at about an average of 6 or so. 3 sets of 30 crunches on the ball, 3 sets of side bends, 15 reps each side, 20 lb weight. It'll do. Happy doctor tomorrow.

Am somewhat annoyed with universe, am pretending otherwise.

Last week a few workouts happened. When/where/how is all unclear. On Saturday there was yoga which ended up being right on my do-able threshold. I still hurt in places that are reminding me I haven't done yoga in a long damn time, but it's the good pain as opposed to my back hates me and wants me to die pain. Sunday was no time. Today was an ( Read more... )

3ish miles today, I'm guessing. I worked 7 hours today and by the time I got out the door to walk just after 6pm I wasn't feeling the need to go anywhere in a hurry. I walked for an hour at a leisurely pace for the most part, so we'll just say it was 3 miles and leave it at that. I also listened to Ani Difranco. And now, tofu and chicken curry ( Read more... )

Walked 3.5 miles. Did some painting and swept the living/kitchen/dining room floors--if that counts for anything. Attempting to keep muscles stretched out and not taking drugs. Trying to get myself off the couch for more painting but Rocky IV is on my TV and distracting me... doh.

Well the first part is true at least. Today I went to the doctor. The Doctor of Chiropractic Sports Medicine to be precise. I walked in the door wishing that I'd remembered my aleve this morning and walked out feeling like I'd be attacked with a meat tenderizer, but in a good way ( Read more... )

And work killed my workout. For most of this week. Save Tuesday when I tried to run and almost ended up killing myself. My big doctor's appointment is tomorrow, hopefully that will move us light years ahead in the "fixing myself" spectrum. Hopefully we'll get in good workouts this weekend and before next week's travels.

Took yesterday off, just wasn't feeling it. Things like that are fine when you've done 4 legit workouts already during the week and your off night was 3 hours of standing alternating with light dancing. Walked a total of 6 miles today--4 miles today for the workout, another 2 miles round trip to dinner and back. With that much walking I feel no ( Read more... )
