Thank you @AngelPuppy1 ! You gave me my first smile of the day. I think I probably overshare way too much, but if it helps or cracks someone up about all of our crazy lives, why not?
I am not loving getting older either. I have a mom in her seventies and watching her struggle with certain things these past few years has been tough. I think it's worn on me as the eldest daughter more than anyone. But, she is teaching me a lot how to deal with certain issues. Never thought you'd bond with a parent over heating pads and back issues.
It's frustrating because I have exercised formally and she hasn't so I kind of feel like I should be better longer, but I think sitting at work for years really did me in. I don't do that anymore and one of the managers actually asked me last week if i ever sit down. I took that as a big compliment.
Anyway, I am bringing my new gym clothes, hopefully finding a calm day at work today, and then walking after I get off in the park. I miss it. I am going to try and do that every day this week, unless I feel like I can't.
I joined the centergy exercise challenge for the week, not sure I'll do it, but I might. I need something more. I am getting anxious again.
@AngelPuppy1 I hope you get back to the gym and/or something you love soon. It's frustrating, I know.
I did PT once for a broken wrist and I also found I didn't get much out of it. They are super nice, but I found I could just do the exercises myself at home. Follow their advice, but ChatGPT did a whole rehab program for me too. You might want to see what it tells you, clear with your doctor, and then try it.
You give it all the details and it really makes up a schedule based on where you are physically and what you want to do. Nutrition included, if you want.
Not magic, but I find the computer sometimes has more common sense or has a more rounded picture of what you have and can do than the doctors take the time to get out of us.
I go back and update it with what worked and didn't and it tweaks the program is gives me. It's worth a try if you've never done it. Again, make sure you're comfortable and the doctor is, although it will tell you that too.
Have a happy Monday, everyone!
BTW, I dreamed my father, who I have not seen in thirty years, wanted to reconcile and I discovered his new home was a hidden illegal casino. 😂🎰 He's a retired educator. I have no idea where that came from.
Maybe the Ocean's 11 trailer from the theater yesterday for the day they are putting that movie back in theaters. I should look him up just to see what he's up too, apparently he can't claim to be legitimate anymore. 😂
Okay, I'm done! Have a great week!
