My pinched nerve issue has been bothering me again. I'm not sure if it's because I'm working out again or what? So today I just stretched my hip and also my upper back with the PT moves I used in the past. I am having issues with my upper back again and I'm not sure why? When I'm doing the...

This morning I did RAW 1 Body Part - Arms and had a good workout. I went a bit lighter in weights than I did the last time I did this workout. I probably could have used the same weights but wanted to be cautious. My pinched nerve has been acting up again. Dumbbell Curls: 12's - 10 reps...

This morning I did RAW 1 Body Part - Chest and had a great workout. 4 sets of 10 reps and is in circuit fashion. By the 4th set I was burning!! Incline Flies: 15's Flat Connected Press: 20's Flat Bench Press: 20's Did 4 sets/10 reps FINISHER: Altogether, flowing through each exercises...

No workout today, I did my stretches instead. Stood a lot this weekend and then I tried to pull weeks in my flower garden and my hip area with the pinched nerve did not like it. I had to stop. So the stretching helped. Hopefully I'll get a workout of some kind in tomorrow. Have a great day...

I won a lottery ticket basket today at my work staff meeting!! I'm so excited. There are like 20 scratch off tickets in the basket. Woo hooooo!! Hope some are big winners!! This morning I did RAW 4 Day Split Shoulders and Legs. Love this workout, it really gets in there good. I changed the...

Today I did RAW Heavy Bag/Shadow Boxing w/Zak - my favorite boxing workout. I was careful as these workouts have a lot of twisting. I was a bit worried but I feel fine. I used my 1.5# egg weights. Workout was 33 minutes (I skipped the ab section), burned 270 calories, HR was 138/158 and I went...

This morning I did RAW 4-Day Split Chest & Back. Had a great workout. I'm going light this week with the weights until I get back into the groove. But they felt good and I probably could have gone heavier. The back work in this one is tough, I could not have gone higher except for the lawnmower...

FINALLY WORKING OUT AGAIN!!! WOO HOO!! This morning I did RAW 4-Day Split Bi's & Tri's. Had a great workout and haven't done this one since June of 2023. I thought it would be good to start out with under 30 minute workouts this week and then increase next. This was perfect. I plan to do all...

I'm still here. Feeling really good and quite frankly, I can probably start working out again. My problem - I don't want to. I just cannot stand the thought of getting up at 4:30 a.m. again. I guess I'll have to get past that because that is the only choice I have and I do miss my workouts. So...

Good morning all. Had a really busy week but now I'm finished with all my programs and I can breathe a bit here at work. I'm doing very well, I think I can definitely start working out next week. I have been doing my stretches daily and I can now sit without pain. Sometimes a little discomfort...

SO sorry Roselyn. My prayers are with you and your family. You mama can rest now. Just always remember the way she used to be. Hugs to you.

Hi all! Still doing my PT stretches. I am feeling much better but still feel tweaks here and there when I sit. It is getting better, though. I am hoping for one more week of recovery and then start back the week after next. Fingers crossed. Roselyn - My heart goes out to you. I can't even...

My PT appointment went really well. She had me move all different directions and then showed me what stretches to do for right now. I feel amazing today. No pain at all, not even sitting. So we'll see, hopefully that will last. Roselyn - I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I pray she makes a...

Hello everyone. Checking in. Still no workouts. I have an PT appointment this afternoon and looking forward to it. I could probably workout, but I don't want to take the chance yet. It still hurts quite a bit when I sit for a while. Driving sucks but I purchased a sciatica pillow and it does...

Wow, May already. Where is the time going? I'm excited, though, because in a little over a month, I will be on my summer break! I can then concentrate on my soap business and get things going with online sales. I'm so excited!! My nerve pain is about gone but the weird thing is, it gets...

Hi all! I am feeling MUCH better now. Thanks for all the prayers! I think I can possibly get a small workout in on Wednesday, I'm still going to give myself a couple days to recoup. I started using my red light therapy pad on Friday and it seems to have helped tremendously. I wish I would have...

Well, I'm hanging in there. Yesterday I was in pain all day, today - nothing. I don't get it. Hopefully it's on the mend. Jolie & Roselyn - Taking care of our parents is very difficult. My mom was really sick this week, coughing horribly, sinuses very plugged. She never gets sick so this really...

Hi all. Still not working out. Even though I feel better about 90% of the time, the issue is not gone. Every time I get in my car and drive the pain comes back. I don't get it because I can sit on everything else without an issue. I have a physical on the 28th and I will ask my doctor to give me...

Hi all! I am happy to say that the pain is almost all gone. I am being really careful, especially when I'm in my car and getting out - that is where it really hurts. Today coming to work I was fine. I'm going to taper off the Aleve and see how I feel as it gets out of my system and knock on...

Hi all. Just taking it easy. Having some good days and some horrible days. Lately the pain seems to be confined in one place and is a constant tweak like feeling. But if I move the wrong way or move my leg the wrong way, instant shock all the way down my leg. Aleve is helping and so are...
