Lori, I really am sorry that you're feeling lower than whalesplort. I hope you kick whatever's ailing you, soon!

PS: The core is the most important part of your body. And all the stuff you're doing is working it. That's really good. Pushups don't do much except for shoulders, pecs and a little bit of upper back, and you don't need all that stuff for balance and agility.

Thanks Buffy

I'm getting really tired of feeling bad, and getting kinda scared since I will be leaving town in a few days. Have to hide how bad I feel from DH or he will try to cancel the trip...
I just didn't expect to be feeling this way after 5 days of Z-pac.


I do good core stuff because I have a back that's wimpier than my wrist.
I use dumbells to get some upper body stuff, and to try and avoid getting those flappy bits under my upper arms.
To help with balance, I stand on one leg, close my eyes, and listen to the news. When I start to fall I open my eyes, regroup, and stand on the other leg with my eyes closed. Try it! Balance is easy, until you take away a frame of reference (vision).

And I can't do a push-up, but I can stand on one leg and squish a bug 5' up on a wall with the other leg/ foot. That can be a useful skill....

OMGOSH Lori. I tried to do a pullup at a friend's house and almost gave myself a stroke. If you can do that, you are amazing!

Spent my childhood in FL, where monkey-bar skills were a requirement.

This is the new definition of fitness, rat dere.

Another side-effect of a FL childhood.

Ever seen a Palmetto bug?

Perhaps this is why I had so many concussions from falling on my head.

Maybe, but you can ride a bike.

I had so many bike wrecks where I landed on my elbows that I have damaged nerves in them.
Wanna know how they diagnose this?

We had a giant set of those hanging rings at the school I did 6th grade at. They were just about olympic sized....you could get a serious workout on those.

Didn't i mention falling off the bars and landing on my head in a discussion last week? Yep. Been there done that. 4th grade I did that. 5th grade I fell off the swings and broke both wrists. Hmmmmmm....what did I do in 6th grade?

Did you ever watch men in black? I think that's where they got the idea for some of the aliens. Palmetto bugs will wave at you and smile as they stroll by...

I once had one come to my door selling girl scout cookies. The little skirt and sash almost distracted me from the shiny beatle exterior and waving antennae.

I do remember the part about breaking your arms.
I'll bet 6th grade they banned you from the playground. I would.
