what can I say...we are simple creatures...we have an itch...we scratch...

SheLifts · 07-30-2007, 03:18 PM

Went to the doc today for my rotator cuff. good news and bad news...

good news - no tear. just a minor sprain.

bad news - i'm cardio queen for a while. no strenious work, etc.

That is good news!!!

It's not that bad being the cardio queen..

SheLifts · 07-30-2007, 03:32 PM

i'm just glad it was nothing major that would put me out of commission for an extended period.

katt · 08-02-2007, 08:28 AM

ok, well,,,,,, how's the cardio coming???

SheLifts · 08-06-2007, 08:55 AM

it totally sucks!!

i get to go back to th gym today!! it would normally be an upper body day, but they are offering a ab training class and i thought i'd take that and give the shoulder 1 more day of rest.

it feels a ton better tho. no where as strong as it was before, but i'll get it back in no time once i start picking up the weights again.

SheLifts · 08-13-2007, 07:44 AM

Since the shoulder issue, i've been staying out of the weight room. On mondays I've been taking a cardio class and jsut kind of winging the rest of the week. My son's 2nd b'day was Thursday, so we had what seemed like party after party all week, one at day care, one for the family. I took off thursday completely and bought a baloon and a couple small things for him.

No weight gained tho!! and boy did i pig out on some cake too.

SheLifts · 08-13-2007, 07:45 AM

Tonight is a lower body strengthening class, so i'm going to take it and I should be back in the weight room on saturday. Shoulder feels weak still, but no where near how it was feeling. I'd rather take a little too much time resting it than not enough.

Burner02 · 08-13-2007, 10:39 AM

'morning! Remember: baby steps!

SheLifts · 08-13-2007, 11:47 AM

lol. yeah, baby steps.

Burner02 · 08-13-2007, 11:51 AM

my ex...bless her heart....was told thta she has a blood clot in her leg and that she cannot exercise for 2 months...she told me the other day that she's gonna do a mini-triathalon....oi...maybe she WANTS me to go and give her a good spankin'....I dunno...

SheLifts · 08-13-2007, 12:02 PM

hmmm. i would think that's not the best thing to do.

Burner02 · 08-13-2007, 12:15 PM
