Still Grouchy, so Bear With Me

I have decided that I must be horribly missed by now, so I will tell you what I’m going to do today.  I’m going to make fudge. 

And then I’m going to engage in some Yoga with Rodney Yee  

and some weights. I don’t feel like typing about that because I’m grouchy (pms week, sorry).

Then I’ll eat a small piece of fudge.  I’ll probably go back for another piece 6 seconds later, so I’ll just say I’ll eat 2 pieces of fudge.

I have to replenish the Hormel Turkey Pepperoni.

Note to self

• Kudos for writing again, grouchy or not.
• Kudos for doing Yoga today
• Be sane about the fudge.  It is PMS week
• I think Red Neck Roy misses you.
• Take care of the knee

still too grouchy

Sorry, I am still too grouchy to post anything about my eating, exercising or my love for Hormel Turkey Pepperoni. You have to go to my other blogs to find out what's going on in my life.

I know better

I know better than to do it.  I know better.  I walked hard on a beautiful day and I have been laid up ever since.  My left knee is just hollering at me. *;-.(  I have to wear a knee brace , an ankle brace, ice pack, hot pack, rest, and living on Motrin.  I can still do non- knee- related weights. 

Eating more than my normal 2 slices of Hormel Turkey pepperoni.  I'm eating 5 slices a day.

March

This month's Reader's Digest has a small article in the Health section on Lose That Pain in the Neck.  I suffer from that so I am doing the recommended exercises. (I was doing some of them anyway, but not all) Since it is from the March issue, it is not available for listing, if at all.  Their recommendations are*
*dislcaimer--tho I have many years training and experience in this area, I am not a liscenced personal trainer.  I am doing these exercises for myself.  If you choose to do these exercises, it is at your own risk and responsibility.

• Shrugs--stand with 15-25 pound weight in each  hand, arms at sides. Lift shoulders up toward ears and lower slowly. (personally, I don't advise starting out with such heavy weights on any of these exercises.  For beginners, I would say, soup cans or water bottles filled with....well, water, or sand).

• One Arm Row. With right knee on bench, lean on right hand. Slowly raise left elbow to bring 12-to-20 pound weight to chest level; lower slowly. Switch sides. (see below)

• 
  
  Upright Row.  With a 4-to-10 pound weight in each hand, raise weights to middle of chest, keeping them close to body.   Lower slowly. (see below) 

• 
  
  Reverse Fly.  With 2-to-5 pound weight in each hand, bend forward to a 45-degree angle. Elbows slightly bent, lift weights to shoulder height; lower slowly.   (see below)

• 
  
  Shoulder Abduction. With 5-to 8-pound weight in each hand and elbows sightly bent, lift weights until arms are parallel to floor.  Lower slowly. (right)

This is what I'm going to do today along with pectorals, arms and abs.  I think I shall walk on the road, dodging Red Neck Roy, if I can.

Reader's Digest Weight Loss and Exercise Tips

I've discovered that I already eat close to the suggested  Mediterranean diet.  I'm living in the wrong Hemisphere, that's my issue!!!

Today, for breakfast I had a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios with blueberries, covered with Almond Milk.  And 2 slices of my beloved Hormel Turkey Pepperoni.  (I had almost run out!!!)
