quick post to start off, must limit my time on computer for my neck.

Jody, hope you got your paper written.

Roxie, It's amazing how much stuff you accumulate, we just got rid of at least 6 bags of clothes (mostly suits).

Pain was bad yesterday, I think I'm not reclining in a good postition for watching tv. miserable, trying to fix all teh forward head positions. Slept on just one pillow last night that does have a neck roll, but I think I need a better pillow too. I never thought I'd be able to sleep with just one pillow, good thing I'm not stuffy/coughing like Murphy.

CSS done, was nice for loosening up my neck/shoulder muscles. I got my posture pump yesterday, it will be my new best friend. I will be trying to limit my FB posts as the computer time is not helping my neck. Sorry girls, it's going to kill me trying not to talk so much :)

Hi everyone! Procrastinating! Am going to do YR. Lisa, I'm sure those muscles are protesting, I hope you feel better today. Roxie, I do hate packing and moving. You will have fun searching for a new home tho! Jody, did you get a date? Maybe he was just felling cranky? How about the paper? Jody,how did your dinner party go? Murphy, cough easing up at all? Last night we went to a Mardi Gras party with another couple, the won $2,000!!! Us, nothing! Had a good time tho. I'm making bean and ham soup in the crock pot, smells incredible! I better get relaxing with my yoga! Mary
 
Good Evening,

Well no formal workout but I did help DH load the coach and carry the armourie down the stairs and out into the trailer then we loaded those heavy totes now its time to relax.

Lisa-hope your neck gets better soon.

Mary-sounds like a fun time.
 
Hi all

Roxie - well all the moving and sorting out stuff sounds like a workout anyway. It must be such a relief to know that you've sold.

Mary - wow, lucky friends! Sounds like a fun night!

Lisa - I suppose it's no surprise that you'd have a lot of pain as there's so much compressed stuff to sort out. Great that you could get a good workout in that didn't hurt.

Hi to Jody & Murphy

Well, we had a nice dinner with friends on Sat (mozzarella tomato filo parcels with salad, baked spinach risotto and coffee semi freddo.) I do the dessert only! I didn't feel too bad yesterday so decided to work out anyway. Did Bis & Tris and then added on Level 2 of Tabatacise. My first attempt at it. I like the fact that it was tough, short and simple!
Today was CLB again. Much better than on Sat.
Taking DD to a museum in London tomorrow so won't be around.
 
Hi all! Never got to YR yesterday, kitchen sink clogged, 5 hours later we got it flowing again! Needless to say, not a very relaxing Sunday! Today did TTM. Ronne, your dinner sounds amazing! I do love risotto! Have fun with DD. lisa, how are you feeling today? Any better? You at work? Roxie, how many houses do you have scheduled to look at? Do ou have to be out soon of your house? Murphy, are you on the mend? Jody, did you get the paper done? Just errands and driving the kids around today, talk to you later, Mary
 
Good Morning,

Tonite I will jump back on the Xtrain with Legs but I can't do the bar part took my chair to storage and I have to do the chair stuff on the high step.

Ronne-sounds like a lovely evening.

Mary-if everything goes ok she wants to take possession on Feb 28th so we have to be out before then. I know of at least 3 houses because we will need to rent until we can get financing together to purchase.
 
I'm still alive! DH set me up something for my personal laptop. not ideal still I did LIC, i like to limber up with cardio and do my stretching. I'm just tired of this, want to feel right again. yesterday I spent on the heating pad and ended up going to sleep early to get away from the pain, woke up in middle of night, took sleeping pll to get away from it again. after my w/o today my neck cracked on it's own during stretching so it's all loosening up. Still can only use very light weights for UB, chiro said not to go too heavy right now. Just got back from there, they say I'm making good progress still tight between the shoulders. I go back wed. another person I know said stretching chest will help those muscles not pull the head forward. I hpe you all are learning from this :) I'm predisposed to this type of stuff though.

Mary, Im not going into work, it's too hard carrying my latop in from teh long walk thru the parking lot (it's an excuse annyway)

ronne, have fun in museum, wanna trade places?

roxie, furniture moving counts as w/o

thats all, making too many typing errors that I hae to go back and correct, so i'll close now.
 
And now the pain and soreness sets in after the adjustment. Now I know why I put off going to the chiropractor. I just want it over
 
Good Evening,

I did the standing portion of legs just wasn't up to doing it all crappy day at work, after I left I sent a text telling them I wouldn't be back until Thursday I just couldn't handle their attitudes.

Lisa-sorry to hear you are in alot of pain hopefully it will get better.
 
Lisa, hugs, are you taking any ibuprofen or anything that helps?
Mary, did hubby fix your sink or you? either way what a bummer.
Ronne, what kind of museum?
Roxie, if you can keep up w/ workouts and not gain wt during all this you will be my hero forever.
I did BM2 boot camp pm today.
 
Woke up feeling pretty good today. Going to try yoga relax later. I am drinking more water to try to flush out the toxins. I drank like 3 16 ounces glasses of water last night and I think only 1 came back out. My muscles are really holding on to the water.
 
Good Morning,

I am getting ready to do Xtrain CB&S and maybe Tabata 2. Woke up not feeling so good have a runny nose and cough again, I took some Mucinex so hopefully that will help.

Lisa-glad to hear you are feeling a little better.

Jody-I will impress myself if that happens but thanks for the encouragement.
 
Good morning! Today did AOLH, felt harder than TTM yesterday, I thought that was weird. Anyway, Lisa, good to hear you are feeling better. Those muscles were tight for so long, now they don't know what to do, so they are yelling at you! I did YR last evening, slept fabulous! If I had the time, I would do it every evening. Roxie, oh, I hope you don't get sick! You have a lot of life stressors now lowering your resistance. How's that baby? Joy, I was the plumbers assistant! Not that DH and I know anything about plumbing, but it's working! Just noticed I called you Joy, which you are! Ronne, did you see art, artifacts? Have to run into work, talk to you later! Mary
 
I too got called in to work so I will do my workout later.

Mary-I think thats the problem to much stress. I haven't seen the baby since Thursday.
 
I try to be strong through this but in a moment of weakness I had myself a little pity party. I can even pick up things to dust under them without it hurting. Weakness on left side must be from pinched nerve still. Then when I told work I couldn't carry my laptop so I was going to work from home they thought maybe I can just leave my laptop there and work from there every day. They obviously do not understand that everyday I'm doing these stretches and physical therapy devices many times a day. how would I do that in that awful place? Since everybody and his brother would see me and I'm a private person. The stress of hearing that didn't help and that's when the pity party began.
 
ok, Lisa, the first thing that pops into my mind is why in the world would someone pick up something to dust beneath of it??? ha ha, you can tell I'm not Mary! Tell work you need to stick to the at home schedule so you can do your therapy.

Mary, chores like that can be sort of fun in a bonding kind of way. ha ha, I'm so sarcastic and holier than thou I don't get mistaken for Joy too often but thanks!

Roxie, will you be holding your breath til closing? I hope you nip this cold in the bud.

Ronne I hope you had a fun/enriching day at museum and waves to Murphy.

I did my xtend class this afternoon. I better stick to the meal plan or something b/c I haven't lost too much wt, just 5 pounds since start. Paper done and I even did the presentation today. I was happy with it. I have two more to do next year. Basically the students present/teach all the disease states.
 
Good Evening,

I have hit my final stress limit I am snappy have a headache and just generally don't give a shit about anything. DH screwed around so long that we only have two houses lined up for tomarrow because there is nothing available.

Lisa-sorry to hear you are upset it will get better just hang in there.

Jody-good job with the wt loss 5lbs is 5lbs.
 
feeling pretty good right now. after "work" I had a pain right where I've had it for weeks now (in fact I feel I have a hole burnt in my skin from the icy/hot), went and used the neck pump, I felt so much better. I'm getting better range on it too. so did slide and glide cardio only (i feel so much better when I'm moving around). tomorrow I go for a valentine lunch with my girl friend, we both need it!

Jody, you are so funny, can always count on you for a smile. i don't think this person at work understands like you all do how sore my muscles can be from all this adjustments. I do feel looser now. now if i can just get rid of this pinched nerve. it took me weeks to get to this point, it will take me weeks to get back, it's just hard sometimes. i think 5 lbs is great. I haven't been able to track my weight loss since I know I'm holding onto water. as a plus dh has lost some weight too since he's been watching me cut back and cutting back as well. it's irritating though i looked up and just sitting for him for a day doing nothing he burns 400 more calories than me, not fair!

Roxie, i think you and i should go relieve our stress at warm jody's house, mary can come and dust to pay for room and board :)

Mary, i may try to do YR more often, it wasn't so bad(even though I looked like a non limber fool). do you ever do YM?
 
let me ask you all this, just sitting here typing this in a good position has my back all bunched up. can I blame this mess i'm in on work and sitting at a computer all day and stress of the stupid job?
 
No workout today. Was going to try hard strikes but I was feeling so good that I didn't want to mess anything up. I wanted to enjoy my lunch with my girlfriend today. Chiropractor later today again.
