our favorite park was partly open today so we walked it. our normal trails were not open due to power lines being down somewhere in there, so we worked out another similar route. an hour and 15 minutes. incredible amount of small debris and quite a few much bigger limbs and trees.. the...

I had a dental appt yesterday to evaluate what might have been another cracked tooth, right below the one that cracked last year. it turned out ok. a minor small crack that i could eventually crown if needed but not a big deal, nothing urgent. costs a lot just to find that out. i am...

Yesterday was a power out day. power went out tuesday night around 3 am due to a wind and rain storm. we are having a miserable stretch of weather right now. a lot of peoples' power went out!. took much of Wed to get back on for a large area. . we had not officially used our...

Two sets of therapy work today, then 15 minutes spinning and half of Rev'd up rumble. not sure if I can do that kind of workout anymore but the first half isn't bad. will try to ease back into it. and see how it goes.

Ill give a try to some different sirius channels. the main thing is on montana drives and DH turns the radio on and off so i will see if he would like to try something different. going to do a short workout before dinner. already did 2 sessions of therapy. did a 10 min spin and 10 min...

I did a 10 min spin warm up then 2 parts of stacked upper body, twice. trying to get back to doing the whole thing of 2 repeats of all 3 segments. I'll do two of the last two later today. unless we lose power with a windstorm today. also did therapy x2 yesterday. and a little garden...

We did our ride, a road ride. it was in the mid fifties with sunshine. lovely today. the trail had been swept off recently so no problems with hidden debris under leaves. it was so nice!. an hour and 15 minutes about, my timer didn't start for some reason. did two shorter sessions of...

I hate to sound like my parents but somehow popular music lost me with hip hop, rap. im sure there must be decent music around but im stuck in the past. its like there is just a narrow range that sounds like "music" to me and most of it is just noise. not going off on a tirade. i have...

We did our local park walk this morning. 1 hr 20 minutes. it isnt raining right now, misting a little. lots of debris in the water. lots of flooded areas. we can go to this area without getting into any problem roads. the mountains are a long distance away, so it takes a while for the...

the balance disks they had at PT were more inflated than ours. ours are probably about half. its worth experimenting to see how much air works for you if you want to use them like this. when back of my head indents the cushion, the lower part plumps up to support my neck. i did bridges...

had my last therapy session for a while. that all I did today. i am going to touch base with them in a month and keep doing the series of exercises im doing now. it fees like focused stretching is the best work i can do. she had a way for me to use the foam roller so i will keep this...

Carolyn I have a very thick yoga mat, a good inch, and sometimes it's fine with the cushion on top and others times i put it along the end of the mat. depends on what im doing. i tried the sider disks and different pillows but thi is the first thing that worked. it stays in place too. i...

I am doing bridges. when i first did them i had my legs on a 50 cm ball and my neck got sore immediately. i stopped doing them because of that. then they had me try doing bridges by just lifting up from the hips and holding a few seconds. my neck still was bothered. i had tried several...

when i was doing my therapy work recently i accidentally picked up the balance cushion from recent workouts. the round inflated one. i use it for balance practice regularly. doing crunch type exercises or bridges, it makes a fantastic head cushion. it cradles your head and neck ( or...

Did stacked upper body along with 10 spinning to warm up, and then ten on the elliptical. haven't used the elliptical for a long time. my back gets achy on it so I'm better off not doing it for too long. I'm going to use it more regularly now that its so darn wet. im trying to work out a...
