Finally, I walked 2 miles this morning. Then did 3 sets of one-legged squats, step-ups, and running man. It felt sooo good to be active. My shoulder is hurting, but no more than usual. I'm sad that I can not do serious arm training, but would much rather heal more quickly.
The past few days have been really hard. One, the muscle relaxer makes me all sorts of sleepy. Two, it's quite a downer when I have such great momentum going and splat, I completely stop. I've tried not to let it really affect me, but way back deep down it has. So I will just push forward and try to remember all the obstacles I have overcome thus far. And there have been many.
I must say, it has been nice to be here at my parents house and get to relax and relax my shoulder for a while. It is always way too hard to do that at home.
Julie, thanks for forging on w/o me while I am gone. I look forward to picking back up with you when I get back.

Well, remember that you are not totally stopped.. you can get movement in here and there, and always remember.... it is 80% nutrition! So don't forget that! That is most of the hard work, and you can still do that!
Also, how far you have come girl! Just look ahead. Straight ahead, not to the left, or to the right. The road is straight and narrow.
I'm impressed you are keeping up out of town. I go to my mom's to relax and sleep and let my kiddos run loose! Not get up and go two miles! Way to Go!!!
I'm sorry you have been frustrated this week. You are so close to your goal though! I am so amazed and inspired by you! You're doing the right thing by letting yourself heal. Can't wait until we're back in action together! Do what you can do and be proud of yourself! :)
update much? ;)
