Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 27 | So, basically...the long and the short of it...Ice the area where the pain is. Take up to 3 weeks off of upper body training to avoid spinal loading and further damage to the injured area. Train your lower body doing the body weight exercises you did in previous post. Train your body aerobically (doing cardio). When you are healed up, gradually reintroduce weight, but not as heavy as what caused your injury in the first place. Reduce your load and continue to lift with good form as long as there is no pain. Hope this helps ![]() |

| Pink Members | whew well lets see...it seems like its been forever! saturday night hubby and i got into a fight...blech....i hate that! but it turned into something else eventually so i was happy! we just layed around yesterday being lazy....the kids gave me homemade cards and stuff like that....then we ordered chinese food for dinner and picked that up in time for survivor finale....it was one of the lamest surviovors in history IMO though....lol...but it was fun anyway... eating yesterday wasnt too bad even though i did eat chinese food.....i was pleased however because i actually stopped when i was full and put it away! usually i eat everything on my plate even if i am already full...its instilled in me! hahah...but im working on making my portions smaller and not always feeling like i have to clean my plate.... i am ready to start lifting again...ill just start light and watch myself very carefully....i cant go this long without it....i need it! ok time to go look around! |

But, at least now I have it under control. So do you! Way to go! Take it easy on the lifting, babe. Rule of thumb: If it hurts don't do it. Let me know how it goes. | |

| Pink Members | well as much as i miss lifting i was aching pretty good after i cleaned out the neighbors pool again so i did my lower body workout excluding weights and i feel GREAT! maybe tomorrow i will do a very very light workout upper body with weights.....we will see....i just want to be very careful but get back to lifting as soon as possible! heres what i did: (no weight) ATF squats: 5x15 lunges: 5x5 kickbacks: 3x20 leg lifts: 3x20 inner leg lifts: 3x20 calf raises: 3x20 the squats went really well today....they were challenging as hell without weight believe it or not....lol....i was happy with the pump and burn i got! lunges were next.....lunges are the most horrible things ever.....haha....i hate hate hate hate them! i HAVE been doing 3x8 but i decided to switch things up today and fool myself into thinking i wasnt doing as many by doing 5 sets of 5 instead of 3 sets of 8....lol....in actuality i did 25 instead of 24...heh...did i mention that lunges suck? i made it through though and my glutes already hurt!! hammie kickbacks were next....the first set of 20 (with each leg) went fine but the 2nd and third sets were challenging! i had to really push through that last set on both legs! killer! leg lifts were almost just like the kickbacks....first set was fine and then the last 2 sets were HARD! i had to talk myself through these bigtime! inner leg lifts felt fantastic......boy was i glad! hahaha! by now my legs were feeling like noodles! calf raises went well....my calves really got a burn in them by the second set!! yay!!! i feel so glad to have gotten in SOMETHING! |

| Pink Members | something scarey just happened to me....i took the kids to school like i always do....sammy the moose dog came with like he always does....he loves riding in the suburban and usually he will have his feet on the back seat and his body over the front seat with his head out of the DRIVERS SIDE window! silly dog likes the seatbelt across his body i guess....lol....hubby says it looks so funny when i am driving down the road with this huge dog riding next to me! but anyhooo....the crazy mutt also bounces around going from open window to the next while we are driving....could practically take an eye out with that waggy tail! ....when we pass horses or cows we say "look sammy, horsies....." or "look sammy, cows!!" and he will bound over to that window and hang his body out to stare at them and sniff the air......WELL this morning he decided to JUMP OUT OF THE SUBURBAN AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD! OMG! luckily we were still on school property.....we drive past this field that has horses in it on the way out and like always i said "look sammy, horsies!" he didnt even blink before he just jumped straight out the back window and started running to go play with the horsies! i was FREAKED! i was so worried that he had gotten hurt cuz it was a pretty high jump out and down and we were going about 25 miles an hour....but he was fine.....then i was MAD at him....i screamed at him to get back here and he stopped immediately and put his ears down and came back....i had the backdoor open for him and he got right in and i smacked him on the nose and screamed at him.....lol.....he lowered his eyes and head and slinked back to hide from me in the back...he knew i was mad! DIPWAD! UGH! so now i guess i need to think about rolling the windows up a little so his body wont fit out all the way.....sheesh my sammy thinks he is a horsie! whew....im so glad the moosie is ok.....i have already forgiven him and loved on him and checked him for any ouchies...he seems fine and is very grateful to be forgiven....lol so lets see.....what am i doing today....i know im going to my neighbors but im not exactly sure what i will do there.....she is going out of town this weekend so i will be getting the vehicle detailed out for them and all that....prooly make a walmart run....prolly back out to the pool.....we will see.... as long as everything goes as planned i will do a light weight upper body workout this afternoon.... hugs and have a great day all! |

| Pink Members | well i am back and VERY relieved! the court listened to the whole story and the judge dropped BOTH tickets! YAY! we do have to pay the $60 court costs but theres no getting around that.....my son will pay for that out of his own pocket! i am just so so so so soooooooo relieved that we didnt have to pay the $250 for each ticket!! there were so many kids in there who regularly skip school...it was sad....one mom got up with her 3 kids and was so rude to the judge i couldnt believe it! she said she cant watch her kids every waking moment and that if they dont get themselves to school its not her fault....hmph....the judge said she could mandate that that mom go to school WITH her kids if she wanted to...haha....and the mom was still so rude and said "well i wont pay no matter what"....the judge said " well if you dont pay youre going to jail...."then the judge fined EACH kid $200 AND the mom another $200 making their fine $800!!! holy crap! i think ill take the $60 fine and RUN!!! my daughter has decided that for her 12th birthday (5/31) she would like to invite 4 of her friends to go to the hotel and have a swim/slumber party....order pizza....swim in the pool and sit in the jacuzzi etc....i looked up the points i have been saving for that particular hotel and i have enough to pay for one room! so i made reservations for a suite that connects to a regular room....this way itll be like we have one huge room but the girls will still feel like they have their own room as well....it outta be FUN! hopefully whoever she invites will be allowed to go....its not very far from here....we will see....im just excited that we will have the one room for free!! hehehe!! ok time to get to work!! |
