Well, I FINALLY got that stupid ball inflated all the way, after having had to buy a new pump because the one that came with broke. I really like the "For Dummies" video. It's very straightforward and thorough. I also started using the ball as my computer chair. May as well work on my balance while I putter on the 'puter.
Oy, doctors' offices are a real pain in the hind end. Hopefully the back exercises will help. It would be quite interesting to see someone actually sleeping on their face... I hope things work out well with the new gastro. doc. With luck, you'll have plenty of time to make sure you've got a GOOD doctor in case something happens.
I got the results from my bone scan back. I have Osteopenia, which is a step down from Osteoporosis. The doc said to bump up my calcium to 1500 a day, and my vitamin D to 400, and repeat the test in a year.
I looked at the new flex and core plans, but I was a bit befuzzled by them. I think I need something a little more disciplined, so I'll stick with the Winning Points system for now. I just seem to function better with the idea that if I run out of points in a day, I can earn some back with exercise. Different things work for different people, though. I'm glad that Flex is working out well for you.
