50 and over week of July 17 check in

I know even with July having 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays it's going way to quickly. :(

I have been really slacking this past week. Needed some down time. I raked stones and used every muscle in my body, so I guess I wasn't slacking to much - ;) Back on track tomorrow with workouts.
Rest day today.

We are having my dil's baby shower on Saturday. I've been very busy with helping to get that all put together. SOOO much fun. It's a surprise. :eek:

I made a diaper baby!! :p
 
Hi, Y'All!

Jann, enjoy every minute of it! When we get to be grandparents, I think we've earned all the good parts of it.

Did Disc 10 today. I have to ice my left shoulder after just about every workout, but I do the best I can. Overhead presses are a problem for me. I can do every other shoulder exercise with no problem, but these are impossible on my left side. I am contemplating whether I should just do them on the right side or not do them at all. Any thoughts?

Have a great evening, everyone!

Hi, Y'All.

I did some cardio today--floor scrubbing and post-weekend cleaning. Tomorrow, it's on to Disc 11.

Have a great evening, everyone!

Hi, Y'All!!

I just finished Disc 11, and I noticed during the workout that my left shoulder was more mobile than it has been. I was able to stretch better than I have in a while. Maybe strengthening the muscles around that joint are what I needed to do. Anyway, I'm icing both my shoulder and my back right now. Looking forward to taking some Advil!! :eek:

Have a great evening, everyone!

Hi, Y'All!

I hope you are all okay. It's a just a little spooky not to hear from anyone.

Anyway, I just finished Disc 12 and Mesocycle 1. I think I might walk some next week, that is if we are not having serious heat still. I don't know what it is about STS, but it's motivating for me. I just haven't been very motivated to do much cardio, but I'm going to change that.

Have a great evening, everyone!

Hi Magnolia.

I am around. I am rest week here and taking full advantage.

It is so hot. I love the heat, I love the heat, I love the heat. I am reminding myself. ;):D:D
 
Good morning, Y'All!

Jann, it sounds as if the heat is getting to you! Stay in the AC, young lady!

It's monstrously hot here as well. Having grown up in Ga without air conditioning, I am used to heat and can handle it, but this is horrible!

My son called from Germany yesterday to tell us that his back problems became much worse, to the point that he was taken to the ER. The doctors x-rayed his back and told him that he had a slipped disk, and that if something was not done, he would eventually be unable to walk. So they did arthroscopic surgery this morning. He promised to call this afternoon (our time) to let us know what was happening. I have been praying a whole lot. Good thing I did Disc 12 yesterday--I would never have slept last night.

Have a great day, everyone, and please stay cool!!!!

I grew up right here in Maryland, I don't remember it ever being this hot. :confused:
I have/had so many errands to do today for the shower tomorrow. One of which is to buy ice. I have NO idea if it will even make it home. :eek::eek:

No workout for me. I have been moving non-stop though. :D

Magnolia -- I'll pray for your son. Many hugs to you! You stay cool and calm. {{Magnolia}}
 
Magnolia Praying for your son.

It's been a 100 degrees every day this week. It now feels cool at 95.

Luke's surgery went ok. He got tubes in his ears and they redid his circumcision . I only worried because of his high fever the week before.

My son has taken a month leave from work because if his depression. I'm afraid it will only make it harder to go back. I think I will make him go to gym with me. We can start meso 3.
