LAST DAY

Not sure what I'm thinking or what other people think for that matter. What happens at the end of one year and the beginning of a new year. The New Years Fairy comes with fairy dust and sprinkles us with a new life all in one night. Miracles happen all in one night. You leave all your worries and problems behind in the previous year and you get to start all over again.
Well that's what I'm hoping for tonight. When I wake up 2009 will all be over.
My first goal is to set my mind on ME being strong. (in all avenues of my life)

WOD
100 air squats
2:07
14 second PR!

3 rounds
10 64# one armed deadlifts
10 one armed counter top push ups
(next time maybe I'll do this for time)

I want to do sit-ups real bad but they're not good yet. I need to rest the right shoulder until Jan. 14th. Still no driving.....Still hard to get dressed and forget the hair. Still need help carry things, tying my work boots...etc
Dr. said no running either for sometime. No bouncing....

Dialing In:

2eggs
1apple
3 teaspoons almond butter

IF rest of the day

Today:
Went to Stacey's job. Went to Steve's job to drop off paper work. (that was emotional) Did the big grocery shopping. Really happy about that. I bought some new paleo ingredients. Coconut!
I'm going to make coconut ice cream tomorrow with fresh mint. That's just the dessert. I got haddock, and scallops for dinner. Breakfast I might try paleo pancakes. bananas, almond butter and eggs cooked with coconut oil. mmmmmmmmmmmmm
OK besides that I watched three movies today.....I KNOW. I can't physically do anything. I did read several short Christmas Stories, paid bills, read the ACF message board and blogs. Tomorrow more paper work and slowly organize Christmas stuff. (until it bothers my right hand)You try not to move it but it's apart of the rest of you.... I usually end up having to ice it. :(

Like a potted plant...

That's what I feel like this morning. I am at the mercy of other people today. Something I've never wanted. For those who know me that's what I've been striving for for years.... being independently strong. Today I am neither.
Woke up to the furnace pilot blown out from the winds last night. (The basement gets a really bad draft) I needed to go purchase a lighter, couldn't drive there, couldn't take a shower, couldn't ....
and now I'm at sitting in Stacey's classroom as she sets up for school starting next week. I'm here waiting so she can drive me to get my staples out and then to go to my second pt session. Neither of which I'm looking forward to. Last pt session my should went into three muscle spasms. The third one I screamed out "damn" and flew my legs up into a fetal position. We couldn't get the muscle to stop. That's what I guess the pros and cons are to having strong muscles. My understanding is that the mucsles not being used want to jump in and work creating the spasm. Pro is that having strong muscles the healing will be faster

I never knew...

I never knew............................

well A LOT.
A lot about people.
A lot about life.
A lot about food.

For example let's talk about food.
Did you know that one pork chop is two meals for most people?
I cooked 2 pork chops for lunch that were pretty fatty so I thought after cutting the fat, taking away the bone it would be about 3 oz. (my serving size) WELL!..... it wasn't. it was over 6 oz.

Fast Day

Today:
Went to movies with Stacey to see "it's complicated". Stopped at Target. Sorted out childrens' books for Stacey to take some to school. Played with train set. Watched "Karate Kid II "
Looked for things to do with one arm. Sat around alot. Read. Read some more.

They say it's your birthday!

YES.... I will be humble.

I have to admit I am not aging humbly.
I finished another year and have turned 48.
Although everyone says age is a state of mind, this year more than any other year I feel my age.
I feel 48. (well maybe not 48 but close to it)

I dreamed of having a train set for many years, a matter of fact Christmas Eve I thought about how I was going to build a track around the living room ceiling....


Well dreams do come true... I got my set.

Christmas 2009

Traveled yesterday to Aunt Janet's house in LI. First time Stephen drove. He did great! The day has been going nice. Just had my bandage changed on my shoulder. All I can say is interesting. This is the result from my last post. Rotator Cuff Surgery. My goal is to be up and lifting by February. Blogs will have to be short and sweet until I have use of my right hand again.
