Lounging By The Beach - Part 8.b

[tgcrna]

Hey Beachmates

I'm just getting up Gonna have to talk myself into exercising soon

I think one reason for the migraine the other day was… I have hurt my neck doing these exercises It has hurt since that day, and I have had an almost constant headache since then too. Not as bad as the migraine, but constant except when I take ibuprofen.

Hubs said it was likely from turning my head to watch the video while lifting. Thus, not lifting in a good position for my neck. He's probably right. So I am trying to do better about that. And I'm becoming a little more familiar with the moves, so that helps.

Hopefully it will straighten itself out, SOON!

Of course my young head has never seen a gray hair.....and never will thanks to chemicals.

Just UP from a short nap. This is becoming a habit.

Hi meggers and afternoon to all.

Son is on his way and don't know exactly what he wants. If it's something from DH then I'll be about. If it's me then I won't.

Logical

Hi Tink! Yep! That'll happen. Take care of the amount too. If you're doing combination style of exercise(weights/aerobics)then use a really manageable light weight.

DW's working a five in a row. Oops! I mean...

Oh, Tink.....sorry to hear this. I get sore/stiff neck from looking at my computer screen so I do understand. I just read that most of us are deficient in magnesium (a major cause of migraines) and that magesium oil sprays are the easiest/most absorbed way to get it into your body. Soaking in Epsom salts also does this. I am going to order some magnesium flakes (pretty cheap) from Amazon....you just mix with water and spray onto your body....very absorbeable.

Glad you miss her when she is at work.

You are sooooo bad. I think my hubs would say the same thing.

I could say the same thing...as in if he was gone for five days. Love the guy, but, well, you know what I mean.

If you order and mix it up...I'll do the spraying!

Off to wash out the gray now.....be back in a few. A whole new me will emerge.

She doesn't mix aerobics with weights, but uses upper and lower body in each exercise. Every arm/chest/back is done at the same time you are doing some type of lunge or squat. And, in this portion of the program, you are supposed to use weights heavy enough that you 'fail' at 10-12 reps. In the next portion of the program (2nd month) you increase the weights to fail between 6-8 reps.

Is your wife doing 5 12's in a row??? That'll hurt. I'm sure you will pamper and spoil her when she is home

Well dang I could use a bottle of what you are using.

I've heard a bit about magnesium deficiency lately, too. I did not realize it is better absorbed by the skin. Thanks for letting me know. I am also looking into herbs that help increase insulin sensitivity. Insulin resistance is (supposedly) one reason people have trouble losing weight.

After increasing my physical activity for 3-4 weeks, I gained 4 pounds I was practically incon.....le after getting off the scales that day (last week). I haven't been brave enough to get back on them. And I had not been lifting weights long enough to contribute it to muscle weight


ETA: why is the word 'i n c o n s o l a b l e' censored???

I sure as heck don't want any!! I would rather look like the "before" picture!

I have no idea!

Oh I guess I don't either, I just figured it was the opposite. Teach me NOT to read.

Yep! That's what I'm talking about. When you're doing stuff like that...keep the weights light(I don't really care what she says...you ain't her). When doing combinations like that...don't worry about going to failure. Lifting to failure is for when you're stable. Not when you're doing squats and moving around doing squats or lunges. Doing too many movements all at once is how people hurt themselves.

What? Nooooooo...I'm basking in the silence and the clean house!

Hubby just makes it dirty!

Honestly if I'm gone for a long time, he does pretty good about keeping things clean.

Son has come, son has gone.

He tilled the garden area.

I can't nag my 19-yr-old into mowing the field (he has been told he has to do it today!). If he doesn't have it done by the time hubs gets home, I may have to leave the house for a little while

Time to get the whip out.
