Dianne ~ Doesn't it happen fast, that loss of muscle / cardio endurance? We're definitely in 'use it or lose it' territory. However it's good to change activities so your muscles don't get used to doing the same thing ... so even though it was hard getting back into the routine, in a way that's good for you. Not to mention I’m sure you appreciated getting those sidewalks cleared of snow!
Martha ~ Great Job going for the water workout! Just like Quibbers posted, I had the same problem with swimsuit chaffing, and a bit of Vaseline did the trick ... hope it works for you! BTW, a while ago I posted a
thread about Lynn Cox. She is one amazing role model!
Mary ~ Thank you so much for your crunch suggestions! I did both ‘normal’ and oblique - and boy! I can feel it right where I’m supposed to! I could only do a few, but that’s how it always starts, right? Soon I’ll be crunching my way to abs of steel. Thank you again for sharing your exercise expertise.
Jim ~ Welcome! And good job making goals you know you can do. Before you know it, you’ll be mountain biking with your lovely wife!
Wynter ~ Woo Hoo! You are doing fabulous!
I only did the 1 mile WAP yesterday morning because I had a fasting blood test later and I didn’t want to poop out on the way to the lab. I wanted to do a 2nd mile, but I managed to take another tumble and wrenched the heck out of my shoulder. It’s so sore that I wake up when I turn over in bed. It’ll heal - but I’m totally not going to push it.
So today I did the 3 mile WAP without weights and only used my left arm for upper body, modified because balance is an issue.
Have a great evening everyone!
