Our Strength Workouts for the Coming Month
source First off, a very happy birthday to my bestie! Once again, I am in awe of what a beautiful, giving, patient friend you are. I don't know how I got so lucky to have you in my life but I'll take it! Wishing you an evening sans bra in front of the tube, enjoying your gifts and knowing you're loved! 🎂🎁 *** Note: I am sharing what our routine will be, this isn't suggesting you do it. Consult your doctor before starting any new exercise program. We have officially been doing strength training again for two full months. I've got to admit, I'm proud of us. It's hard going from none, being upset with how far your strength capacity has plummeted and discouraged to making sure you stick with it every week. June was 2x week until the final week trying to build a base and then the final week and through July we went to 3x week. This past week, I tried to up it for most exercises to 15 lbs. I don't feel as strong as I did when we were doing i...
Those shoulder exercises are very helpful to me too and mine hasn't felt this good in awhile so I plan to keep that up with you. Let's hope we're pleasantly surprised by a fun evening at this wedding and then we'll leave after cake!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad they're helping you and hope they do something for me because not having use of both shoulders is beyond acceptable. They hurt so bad right now when I do them (as you saw with my tears the other night) so looking forward to the day I might be able to actually hook my bra since I can barely touch my lower back. Fingers crossed on the wedding!
DeleteI had to giggle out the outdoor wedding comment. We were supposed to be married outdoors on the beach (San Diego) and it ended up raining that morning so they lugged the arch indoors and we got married inside. I remember my mom kept looking at me like I was nuts because it didn't even phase me, and I have no idea why. But the sun came out right after our vows so people got to be outside after that. I do hope this wedding is lovely and you guys end up enjoying yourselves. You probably won't get much time with the bride, but I know she'll be so happy you're there and you'll be happy you got to see her say her I do's to her new hubby. Hopefully all with good weather too!! No rain here, so hopefully nothing to most east toward you guys. Glad you have shoulder exercises to do to help loosen things up and ease some of the pains and aches!
ReplyDeleteI know three people now that were supposed to be married on the beach and couldn't be. I couldn't leave something like that up to chance or I would have a stroke if the plan changed. Glad you got to be outside for some portion of it! Looks like we might be at 78-80 that day so hoping for a light breeze especially with me having to probably wear my lovely thigh high compression hose which make me run hot.
