It has been a week since I checked in. I was planning on posting daily. However, as a female friend of mine likes to say, "Life is what happens while you make other plans." Man, but that is proven correct continuously.
I have wound up working til after dark practically every day since then with only one other exception in which I got the 2 1/2 mile walk in but have not done any leg lifts since until yesterday. Yesterday I walked the 2 1/2 mile walk in then did leg lifts. To my astonishment my left leg started hurting bad at 30, so only the 30 on it. With my right leg I got 45 and that was it, no reps. Wondered why, and why I was feeling so stiff and "not right." It finally dawned on me later after a nap (my first nap in a few weeks also and first day off with no work, even around the place here) that I had not taken my morning meds which had pain relieve for arthritis etc. No wonder I was stiff and hurting. So, I took them at 3:30 in the afternoon, when I usually take them around 5:30 am. Today is much better, but has been trying to rain all day and I do not go out in the slick clay here when it rains. If I do, I tend to spend a lot of time on my tail, and while up I grow a 1/4 inch each step. And my shoes get HEAVY :D kelijpa, I live in Southern California desert east of Riverside and west of Palm Springs and we get some horrible sand storms here at times. I have to yield to circumstances now, and will exercise all I can when I have time. Today no walking because of the rain. I did 75/60/45 leg lifts left leg, 60/45,42 with my right plus 60 times each leg holding a leg up at the knee and just raising and lowering from my feet and lowering them down 60 times each. Oh yeah, forgot to mention, did all of that with my shoes on :D That does add to it. I got a call to go do a service call in Murrieta and plan on doing some more on my return. B F R |

BFR, you can only do what you can do and the fact that you have arthritis and still put in the exercise, I think is fantastic! :cp: And I'm glad you mentioned meds because it reminded me to take my probiotic, lol!

Well, I did not post again yesterday or the day before but I did exercise.
I walked 2.8 miles, 1 hour the day before yesterday. two reps of leg lift, left leg, 75 each. Two reps on right leg, 7o and 60. All I could do. Yesterday due to rain I did not walk, but I did do two reps of leg lifts and 15 situps plus some other light exercise for artheritis (lifting each leg from knee down 100 times each) and some other stuff. Today I worked but got back with just enough time to walk 1 3/4 mile. I have not done any leg lifts yet but may, I was totally exhausted when I got back, then I spotted a lamb on the wrong side of the fence so I went and found the herder to come put it back. With so many coyotes here it would not stand a chance outside. Then the herder engaged me in conversation, really giving my limited spanish a good workout. He wanted to buy some solar panels from me or have me order some for him. LMAO.... which was OK, but then he tried to jew me down. He finally got it through his head that I purchased them for the guys on E bay auction as a favor and would go no less than they cost me :D Anyway, I have no work planned for tomorrow outside of around here. That will be cleaning up, and hoeing emerging weeds. December is kind of our spring here, when we get the rain and weeds sprout. Especially foxtails. Hate them. I will try to post again tomorrow. Wish I could exercise like several of ya do, in four months time I would be down to the weight I want to get at. Some of ya.... Turtle, Rhiko, Kelipja, Sum.... and more, can't believe yall don't have all that excess weight off, with all you do I would think by now ya could stick out your tongues and look like a zippers :D But you are healthy, and that is what counts. Keep it up :D Jacqui, turn around is fair play, you mentioning me making you think of taking your probiotics reminded me it was a good idea to take some myself tonight. I do not care for mixed vegetables, but I know I need to add them to my diet. The problem has been not having a way to fix them to make them really tasty. I have been steaming them, pouring lime juice over them and sprinkling a good healthy amount of spicy seasoning on them. Tonight I decided to try something diff, tired of the same ole thing. So I cooked 2 oz of Barilla small elbow veggie pasta, and in a small skillet put in about 6 oz normandy frozen mixed vegtables, table spoon or therabouts of extra virgen olive oil, 3 oz of diced chicken thigh, added a bit of salt and a healthy amount of italian seasoning and stir fried them until the chicken was done, about 3 minutes. Then I stirred in the pasta and cooked another minute. It was purt good, but I think it wold have been better with some soya sauce, which I seemed to be out of. Anybody with some good tasty recipes for veggies, I would sure love it. I need to learn to eat them and I like tasty. Always hated those things they serve in restaurants, even fine ones, those tasteless veggies... Can't understand why they would serve them. Paid 85 bucks a plate in an English resturant once, just trying diff things. Worst steak dinner I have had, and most tasteless veggies, man, never again will I eat English style cooking. And paid much much more than for a good meal somewhere. :D I took a couple of those probiotics, they ought to make those veggies go through OK. My system is not used to that stuff. Anyway, 'nuff outta me Thanks B F R |
