Hi Girls
I got my chest, shoulders, triceps done, though I was very careful. However, like you, Rachel, I got a kick out of effortlessly being able to go heavier on the weights than Cathe did!LOL! It does a girl good to feel on top of it even if only for one week, until the next rotation comes around, right? LOL!
My Chiro actually says that lifting is the best thing I can do for my body, so I am assuming I would be off way worse if I didn't do weights. However, she does encourage me to not feel like I have to lift as heavy as Cathe. She has always been very supportive of my exercise and wishes her other patients were doing it too. The lower back issue I'm dealing with right now is because of a non-exercise related tweak, and I think any time that I do get exercise related stuff, it's probably because of poor form, meaning I try to lift heavier than I can do with good form. So I just need to quit trying to do more for a while.
I can't take credit for the cookies, I googled a recipe that said to puree the fruit... If I ever do come up with a recipe book, you will be my tester! LOL! Please let me know how your trifle turns out. I love trifle and am very intereseted in the recipe if you have time to share. I'm going to go prep my spiced pumpkin mousse right after this. I haven't had time to prepare the way I have wanted to, and I just found out that our dinner will be at lunch time not at dinner time tomorrow, so I better get a move on...
Cute story real quick, though. Ds has been working hard on his flash card facts for addition. He had gotten to level 4 on his gadget and had struggled, so I helped him take it one step at a time to imporve speed gradually. Because he got frustrated I told him I'd take him out to lunch the day he gets a hundred percent. That was today, and of course he wanted to go to MC Donalds... sigh. I was so disgusted looking at the menu and just couldn't get myself to order anything except fruit and even that bugged me, knowing how these big coorporations bully the poor farmers.... So I'm sitting there explaining to ds in as much detail as I could remember from Food inc what kind of life the chicken had that he was eating in form of nuggets, how bad the fat is for his arteries, what the pesticides to grow the fruit do to our planet and water, etc.... I probably went overboard, but he was fascinated and said, 'I actually hate this place! we should put fires to their stores for their own good....!' Where did he get that from, I want to know!
So he was more than happy for me to suggest we find a different restaurant that cooks with organic ingredients next time, he's actually been to one and liked what they served. So for his level 5 incentive, that's were he wants to go! LOL!
If I don't make it on the boards tomorrow, I hope you all have a wonderful day tomorrow! I'm thankful for you all on this post, and glad I get to work out with you guys!
