    Hi, Y'All! I hope you are all having a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. I think my neck and shoulders are better, so yesterday, for no particular reason I can imagine, I started having back pain! I tried a stretch, but it did not help. I have been icing it, though, and it does seem somewhat...

    Hi, Y'All! Sorry to be absent so much. It seems that my pain goes back and forth between my neck and my shoulders. Also, I am under some stress getting ready for my mil's visit for her birthday next week. I had to go back to the chiropractor because while I was cleaning and trying to get...

    Hi, Y'All! Sorry to have been absent. My neck is just about fine now, but my shoulders are killing me. I'm not sleeping very well, since I had to switch to a lower pillow. I'm a side sleeper and cannot get into a comfortable position without waking up in the middle of the night in pain...

    Hi, Y'All! So glad to hear from you, Beth! I am sorry for whatever your challenges are. I hope that things even out for you very soon. I am still on the couch here. I get up and do as much as I am able, because I do hate couch potato-ism. But I have to sit here several times a...

    Hi, Y'All! Still not working out. Chiropractor says I have to come back on Monday. One side of my neck is very tight, and he did not want to attempt to adjust more than two times. I have not had a good day. I am worn out and have had more pain, so I finally gave in and took some Advil. I...

    Good Morning, Y'All! Jann, great idea! So I am just saying "Hi." I cannot do anything workout-wise until I get the okay from the chiropractor. I have to go back tomorrow--he told me I need two more treatments for the shoulder. I am really starting to get antsy now! Plus it's harder to...

    Hi, Y'All! So my shoulder is much better, but it will take at least another week before I can think about workouts again. I am starting to get a little antsy, but then I have a spasm, and it kinda pours cold water on any ideas of exercise I may have. I'm just going to do what I need to do...

    Hi, Y'All! My neck is fine now. It's the bursitis in my right shoulder that is giving me so much pain. So now we are treating that. I do not know how long it will take to get over this, I just have to go with the flow! I am icing my shoulder about three times a day, but I am trying not to...

    Hi, Y'All! Thanks, Joan. I have a memory foam pillow that I use now. It's about right. I am doing a lot better, but I have a ways to go yet. I finally slept pretty well last night, so I'm grateful. Needless to say, I have not been working out this week. I have been in so much pain, I...

    Hi, Y'All! Awfully sorry about the cold, Joan. Hope you are feeling much better by now. Well, dh kept at me until I let him take me to the chiropractor on Friday. I do have a pinched neck, and I think I have known that all along. I have been in agony since about the middle of last week...

    Hi, Y'All! Jann, I have not tried acupuncture, but will keep it in mind. Keeping all options open here. I did Kick Back today. I am really getting hooked on Tracie Long workouts lately. I was way too tired yesterday, and I think trying to use my old level of weights for Volume 5 was a...

    Good morning, Y'All!! I just finished The Firm Volume 5, one of my very favorites! It is a killer, though, and I needed one today. I am looking into a new treatment for my arthritic shoulders. I have to be inventive, but it certainly would be nice to have full range of motion back in both...

    Hi, Y'All! Been busy this weekend. Had some masses to sing for yesterday and today, and then 2 hours each day trying to get caught up on the reading assignment for my course. Jann, Reggie is so cute! He's grown pretty quickly! Sorry to hear about your mishap. Take care, you'll be...

    Hi, Y'All! Sorry to have been absent, I am taking another course towards my degree. How can this be only my second week and I am already behind in the reading?????????? :eek: I did Figure 30 Butt on Wednesday and today I did Reboot Vol. 1. Jann, I am with you on the Firms! I always...

    Hi, Y'All! Joan, that's exactly where my weight seems to be hanging on! Last week, I think my rotation was a little too much for me. I let myself do too many tough workouts without enough rest in between, so this week, I am taking it a little easier. I am alternating regular workouts with...

    Good Morning, Y'All. Oh Joan, I am so sorry to hear that your son and your family are going through this. I, too, have a son that gives me heartaches sometimes, not by drinking, but I won't get into that. You have hugs and prayers from me for you, your son, and your whole family. I did...
