What I'm Reading This Week #18
Happy Friday everyone and welcome to May. We had a long week of getting the garage together so the Mr could finally park in it six weeks later. We still have some work to do in there as far as purging and such but we needed to get the space useable again since it's been a holding tank for our old countertop/sink, old grill waiting to be picked up by a friend, insulation, built planters and patio table and extra fencing from critter cages. We haven't had the mental drive to figure out how we get the shelves in order. I think I'm going to have to look up some garage organizing articles or something because it's really overwhelming to look at it all. If we can get a plan together to tackle it then maybe we'll have our weekend plans for next weekend as long as it's not hot yet because we don't want to be in a sweatbox. Now let's peek into: Dietitians Agree, Eating More Might Be the Secret to Your Strongest Year Ever (Volume eating FTW. It's been ...
Too funny but also a glimpse into the gimping world of late stage middle age, or whatever it's called now.
ReplyDeleteOh if we'd only shown that the 17/19 year old us!! They'd be like 'what is WRONG with you in the future!?!?'
DeleteDo any of these tools do what is claimed? I have a foam roller but it didn't really do much.
ReplyDeleteI think flat foam rollers are crap. The only one that has ever done anything for me is this one: https://amzn.to/3wMeZEo You can dig in without it being too severe. You can also line up your shins and roll those between the divots and it does an amazing job loosening things up and that's saying something coming from me. All of the tools in the pic all have specific uses that help me. The steel scraper is used for Graston therapy which when you apply oil or lotion on the spot and run it over it, it helps break up adhesions which limit mobility. The wood lymphatic thingy gives nice broad strokes for IT band or quad loosening and then those little points can get trigger points. The rumble ball is the big kahuna and I'll rest my calf on it to try to release knots. The yoga strap I currently use to lengthen the achilles since it's really shortened right now but its also good to assist stretches after walks laying in bed. Hope that helps!
DeleteI need those sheets in my life! Someday... I'm putting myself on a tight budget this year, so only things that are really needed, but maybe they are, to go with all of my peanuts pictures and stuffed dolls that I have, ok enough of trying to justify it in my head!

DeleteI'll tell you this, they NEVER go on sale so the price is what it is. I'm on year three I think and they're holding up really well. They're flannel, I'm a hot sleeper and they don't bother me at all. I say start off the year with a good investment! 😁
