Freeform Friday

[taurusmoon]

You can breathe a sigh of relief now.

Oprah is taking the day off.

Today you get to write about anything* you've got on your mind. Just make sure to read the fine print first.



*Discussion must be on topic. Well, it can wander off in a number of other directions, but your initial post must have something to do with heath and/or fitness

*You must dwell on the positives, not the negatives. If you throw up a problem you must be prepared to either provide or entertain a solution. Only constructive whining is permitted.

*You must also at least attempt to respond to yesterday's thread that you all so conveniently ignored.




Happy Friday everyone.

Oooops. Did I ignore yesterday's thread?

Okay, so I've been a bad, bad H & F November Member. Today's the last day of November though, so I'm getting myself in mental gear to ramp up again tomorrow.

Minor whine - I really have hurt my shoulder. I keep waiting for it to get better, I think I did some rotator thing to it, probably with my 4 ounce weights a few weeks back. (Okay, they are 3 lbs. Sheesh, big whoop. I am so not a jock.) My solution so far has been to just rest it and hope it gets better, but I'm going on three weeks now..... doesn't help that it is my right arm, which is my mousing arm. Ah well, it has to heal up. It's not as if I was doing anything really athletic.

So, no weights for me in December.

Completely bizarre day yesterday. I forgot to wear my pedometer! I felt totally and utterly nekkkid! I kept reaching for it to make sure it was on straight....

Ah well, I'm rambling. I guess I'll come back when I actually have something to say.

Oops! We did ignore that other thread, didn't we?

I am really, really trying to figure out how to maximize my steps during the day. I can walk around all morning and end up with 1500 steps at lunch, and then feel like I sat all morning long and be at lunchtime with 3000 steps! I really don't get it.

I don't think I'm going to have a good stepping day today because both hips hurt from my fall on the ice yesterday. I can pretty much walk without much pain, but I can't lift my legs up when in a sitting position without helping them get there. Like, I have to cross my legs by lifting one leg on top of the other. Putting on pants and socks this morning was fun.

The good news is that after two or three days of awful breakfasts, I got back on track with rice cakes this morning.

Everyone have a good day!

Okay, I read yesterday's thread, I just didn't have the oomph to live anyone else's fantasy.

How 'bout this? I'm going to combine some of this week's threads into one supercalifragiliciousexpialidoshus post.

My fantasy was to have a workout room in the basement of a house on a tropical island, with a personal trainer (age 22, named Hans), and white sand beaches to walk on.

My reality is to put a treadmill in the garage in Iowa, give my handsome hubby a hug, and jog on the gravel roads surrounding my home.

Sounds a little "homy-ier", doesn't it? I have a $150 gift certificate that I got from work this week as a reward for a huge project (or three) that I will be putting toward the treadmill. Since hubby has moved his tractor OUT of the garage, I have a place to put the treadmill (we won't even go into why my car isn't in there....).

Plus, within a few weeks, we will have a large machine shed constructed. This will give me a very large arena/track-like setting out of the wind and the elements that I can run laps in. Never mind that it's not heated, I'll create my own body heat.

There. I'll quit whining about the weather for a while. Now, if I could only get rid of this nasty 1.5 lbs that just seems to be hanging around since Tuesday nite...........

I had a Heath bar the other day. It's part of what made that day taste so good but be so unhealthy.

I'm glad somebody follows instructions.

Major whine.

I went to the dentist. I had a cavity underneath an old filling. He took care of it. He didn't give me any pain meds. It was already hurting when I left. It's been getting progressively worse. I just called his office and they want me to take Extra Strength Tylenol. I told them it has no effect on me but they said try it anyway and made it clear they didn't want to hear from me again until tomorrow morning (if it's still bothering me).
