Who cares - HO HO HO!

Good Afternoon,

I walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes then went to Walmart to buy stuff for another family Christmas. Oldest DD is in alot of pain today but still no baby.

Lisa-that workout is the only other one I want.
 
Ankle felt good, did only a 1 Mike walk yesterday with DH, holding on to him in the icy spots. I can't walk at a good rate of speed without ankle starting up, felt good just to be outside even if was still below freezing! Today I did ICE LI sweat, I really liked it! I'm not doing any pivots or up on toes and lunges are limited (you use your toe on back leg, toe stuff gets it hurting) . Did the MM back, love the muscle meltdowns! Previewed the blizzard blast while I stretched more, this BB looks much more doable than the one on the metabolic DVD. I plan the same dog walk later, waiting for it to get in high 20's first!

Roxy, how are you feeling? Do you go back to dr for checkup?
 
Good Afternoon,

I did Leslie Sansone Walk Off Fat Fast 30 minutes it was pretty boring. DD is still having contractions but they are not close enough together yet.

Lisa-Ibam doing ok I can't wear jeans yet they to uncomfortable still bloated. I have. Check up on the 12th.
 
Hi girls! I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Busy around here, but a wonderful time! I have been trying the new ones, today did the metabolic one, I thought it was a challenge! I'm not so sure it's intermediate tho? Or I'm just a wimpy girl! Also did the mat one, upper body, and the leg one. So far I'm really liking these! Lisa, tomorrow you find out what's wrong and the plan to correct it? Winter is finally arriving here today, I've kind of missed chilly weather! Roxie, maybe she will have the baby before the new year? When do you go back to work? Hello to everyone else! Mary

Mary-January 4th for half days until my next appointment
 
Mary, I thought with intermediate I could use the weight Cathe did in the ub one, my shoulder blade hurt so much after, so I'm back to using half the weight even on these intermediate DVDs. Yes I feel they are pretty challenging still! I'm liking them (except the mat one). Yep, tomorrow (Tuesday) is my orthopedic appt I'm doing all I can now because I'm afraid they'll have me non weight bearing soon enough.
 
Good Morning,

No workout for me today going to meet my new grandson Kason Michael who was born last night at 8:35pm,
 
Roxie, congrats! What a great name! Today did the LIS, I liked it! Tomorrow I'm going to try the bootcamp, then I just have to do the kickboxing one. I'm enjoying them so far. Lisa, let us know what the doctor says. Not much today, kids being home is wrecking my cleaning! Have a good day! Mary
 
Well good news/bad news (and not sure which part is good/bad).

Peroneal Tendontitis (exactly what I suspected way back in Aug,Sept,Oct before it started involving the ankle right where I chipped the bone). I got a cortizone shot and start PT on Monday. Thankfully PT is with someone IN THE ORTHO office and they work with the dr. I explained how my PT on my neck started feeling more like I was a cash cow. I feel better with this setup.

Restrictions? Don't do anything that makes it hurt and let it heal. Then work with PT on adding in all the other stuff I do. So that basically means DO NOTHING (something I'm not good at).

As far as the pain being in the ankle he thinks the inflamation overall makes it hurt there because that ankle tendon has lots of scar tissue from the sprain/bone chip 30 yrs ago. Looks like how it healed 30 yrs ago caused this ankle to be weaker and now that I'm old more prone to overuse injuries. PT should help strengthen it and I probably didn't have the right PT 30 yrs ago (uh, I didn't get any PT! did they do that 30 yrs ago? I barely found someone to acknowlege the bone chip ----). Anyways, I digress.......

Oh they have 2 PT people in the office, each one with a different approach, I'm being put with the one that works with athletic injuries.

Should be better in 4 weeks, if not come back, he doesn't see anything surgically to be done (something about possibly cleaning something up on that scar tissue.

The only other option was to cast it. And the purpose of that is to allow the tendons to heal by restricting movement. Problem with that is you come out with a weak ankle which I totally remember from 32 yrs ago.

So, did I do the right thing waiting to get this thoroughly checked until after DIsney? I didn't suspect it was becoming a major problem until Nov 23rd or so.

PT starts Monday at 7:30 am in Boulder, oh what fun. In the meantime you all need to workout for me and I need to watch what I eat! With a few UB workouts sprinkled in.....ICE muscle meltdowns may be good for that since I also need to be careful not to overdo lifting for the UB.
 
HI girls! Today did the ICE bootcamp, not too bad. Lisa, I hope they can help you. Was the shot too bad? I would think that is a sensitive area! Roxie, how's that baby? I just love how they smell! Today kids and I are going to the movies and maybe a little sale shopping! Good day to all! Mary
 
Good Morning,

I am not working out again staying at my DD'S house baby and her are coming home today. I spent the night with my other grandson.

Mary-the baby is perfect.
 
Hi everyone

Congratulations Roxie! Hope mother and baby are doing well!

Lisa - that's bad news about your foot, but sounds like a good plan to get you back on your feet again. I'm keeping everything crossed that it all works for you.

Mary - sounds like you've been having some nice family time.

Well, I've been busy doing nothing! Celebrated Christmas with my parents here as usual. We had a nice few days with them. The weather is awful though. Just raining all the time and so mild. There are green shoots in the garden. There's been serious flooding up north as well. Businesses and homes flooded out in big city centres even.
I have managed to try a few of my new KCMs. Really pleased with them all. DH got me a kettlebell for Christmas! I'm finding them all pretty tough though. Not up to a Cathe yet! The TLC conditioning killed me!
We're off to friends this evening to celebrate NYE. Then there are old friends of DH coming to stay over the weekend, so I'll be spending tomorrow cleaning!
I probably won't be back till next week with everything going on, so Happy New Year!!
 
HI girls! Today did rock em sock em, it was fun. These seem just a challenging to me as her other ones, I think I'm just a big wimp! Except for the mat one and the upper body one, those would be intermediate. Ronne, sounds like you had a great time! We are going to a hibachi restaurant with friends tonight, should be fun. Roxie, kiss that baby for me! They are so amazing! Lisa, how are you feeling today? Happy New Year to all! Mary
 
Ended 2015 with RWH cst. Sound like everyone is having a wonderful holiday. DS and his GF went to stay with her parents yesterday until Sunday. Frankly, I was ready for them to go, I'm just used to our normal quiet. I think DH and I are getting on each other's nerves (it doesn't help that I'm kinda down about my situation, but I think another component is that he needs to get back to work to have something to do!). Ronne, I plan to spend some of the time I'd normally spend working out cleaning good (gasp, even the blinds). Mary, honestly the shot wasn't bad at all, my sis always complained of how awful they were, shrug. He injected where the pain was worse and now that it is feeling better there I can now feel pain in the back of my ankle (where you normally feel peroneal tendonitis,, I think the pain was just everywhere that I couldn't feel it there?). I also am feeling pain in the right ankle in back of ankle so I think I have it starting over there too. I really wish I knew what I did to cause this! I did sprain my right ankle 24 yrs ago when I was preggo (fell in a hole carrying one child in my arms and the other in my belly! It was mother's instinct to shift child in arms to other side while I fell :) ). So, I'm guessing some weaker ankles and doc did say my high arches. Roxie, I bet you are enjoying that baby! I'm still not ready for grandchildren and thankfully non in the near future, younger DS doesn't want them and the oldest is spending time traveling (he finally took my advice to do it while young and before children!). Mary, I think they are just as challenging too, even the CUB (but then I'm a special UB case, oh heck, I'm just special over all :) ! I normally don't make new years resolutions but I'm entering 2016 with the mindset of "being kind to my body". New year's plans is sushi tomorrow.
 
Good Morning,

I love spending time with the grandkids but so ready to go home I am like Lisa I am use to quiet and I need to get ready to go back to work.

Lisa-the way my 3 year old GS was acting this morning first day baby was here when he woke up I can see why you are not ready yet.

Mary-I have only kissed him on the head but will do.

Ronne-enjoy New Years eve
