Gym Is Open (Tuesday)

Took my car to the body shop this morning and got a rental car. They say it will take 7 days to get fixed. It rained hard yesterday and my wrecked doors leaked. Nice to get it in the shop. But, missed my gym appt because of it. So, means I'm headed there after work tonight. Here is my plan of action: 45 minutes treadmill Stability Ball Crunch w/weight S Ball Knee Bend S Ball Bridge S Ball Bridge Curl-In S Ball Oblique Twist S Ball Elbow Raise S Ball Pect. Fly w/ring S Ball Pullover S Ball Squat Stability Disk Bicep Curl Stability Disk Upright Row Tricep Dips Leg Curl Machine Definitely harder to make it to the gym after work, but, I've got my clothes with me and plan to go straight there! What did you do to move your body today? Lori 384/235/199

Even though I'm still on armbike probation because of my PICC line, I couldn't stand another day of no exercising. I did one mile on the armbike, using the motor so I could pedal the armbike with one arm. Since I didn't use the arm with the PICC line in it, I figured it would be OK. My instructions were not to do any exercising that puts pressure on the PICC line. Kix

Kix, Any idea how long you will be chained to the PICC line? Will they take it out before your surgery on Aug 14? Lori

I finish my IV antibiotics tomorrow. When I saw the surgeon for my pre-op appt, he saw the PICC line and said, "Keep that in, we can use that!" When I had this last fall, my PCP kept the PICC line in for three weeks after I finished my IV antibiotics just in case something evil flared up and I needed another course of IV drugs. So, I'll have this in for a couple of more weeks, at least. It's not that bad, except that I have to wrap my arm in plastic before I shower. Depending on how awake I am when I wrap the arm, it's either an excellent wrap job, or so bad that I have to hold it up with my chin while I'm in the shower so it doesn't slide off! Did you get any of that nasty weather that hit Provo? Kix

Yes Kix, we got the weather. It knocked out our power at my wor****il 6 am this morning. I thought it was a tornado the way the sky looked!

Hey Lori, Didn't have much time this morning so I only got in 45 min on the elliptical machine I love that machine. I will get my hour in tomorrow morning will be starting double session this week on M W F I will lose this weight. Have a great day. Lorraine

Great Lorraine! You will lose this weight!

Hi Lori, I rode three miles on my bike today. I love it! I take my little puppy with me in her little carrying pouch. She loves it too. It took me 23 mintues this morning. I rode real early because we are have a heat wave here, so I wanted to get in my bike ride before it got even hotter! Love, Cindy

I love picturing you riding your bike with your little puppy in a carrier! Keep going girl! Lori

Hi Lori, I walked two miles outside and did 5 miles on my gazelle. Diana
