Today I decided to lift a little. Not much and I did compound moves. I need to google compound moves for chest, that one was a hard one to pair up with another exercise. Also triceps. I sort of just winged it.
This is what I did, like I said, not much. No weights over 8# and this only took me like a half hour maybe forty minutes to do it.
Pushups - 3 sets/12 reps on toes
Squats with Overhead Press - 5's - 3 sets/12 reps
Bulgarian Split Squats w/ Hammer Curls - 8's - 3 sets/12 reps
Chest Flyes w/Inner Thigh Squeeze w/ball - 8's - 3 sets/12 reps
Tricep Extensions w/Glute Raises on ball - 5's - 3 sets/15 reps
I want to start doing this twice a week starting off really slow like this until I know my upper shoulder will be good with it. I am losing my muscle tone and I don't like it. Yoga is good, but I don't believe it works the muscles like lifting does. I need to get back to this but I'm so afraid of it hurting my shoulder/neck again. We'll see. So far so good.
Teddygirl - Did you see the news? I'm sure you did:
So some HUGE news in Cleveland today. 10 years ago 2 teens disappeared in Cleveland. Just vanished. No reason for anyone to think they ran away and no signs of them ever since. One of the girls is named Gina DeJesus and the other is Amanda Barry. Thoughout the years the police would get phone calls saying that Amanda's body was buried in this location, Gina was spotted in that location, yet nothing ever turned up.
Yesterday, however, a man came back to his house after going to McDonald's and heard girls screaming in the house next door. He thought this was weird because for as long as he's lived there, he has never seen girls over there. He went to the front door and Amanda told him who she was and to get her out of there. He broke in the door and she grabbed his cell and called 911. Gina was with her and also another missing girl named Michelle Knight. When Michelle disappeared the police just assumed she ran away - she was older than the other two. Amanda was 15 when she disappeared and Gina was 14. Michelle was 19.
One of the girls now has a baby and they are at Metro in Cleveland. All are emanciated (sp?) but in fair condition. It has always been a speculation that the two girls were taken for human trafficking and that is exactly what this looks like. There is a press conference going on right now and I'm taping it. I have to take my mom to the doctors for her 6 month appointment with her regular doctor so I will watch it later.
This has been some amazing news, it even brought tears to my eyes last night when it was on the TV. I can't even imagine what these girls have been through, but I'm so glad they are safe and with their familes. Unfortunately, Amanda's mom passed in 2006 with a broken heart due to Amanda's disappearance so I'm not sure what family members are left, I think she has a sister. So I can't wait to hear what happened, if they had TV through these years seeing themselves on the news, etc. Their families kept them in the spotlight all this time so when you hear the name Amanda Barry or Gina DeJesus, you knew who they were. When 911 got the call, they knew who Amanda was and sent the cops to the house immediately. They also arrested 3 suspects and the girls have identified them by name.
An unbelievable turn of events here. Even the news casters were crying when they were reporting this.
