Woke up, read the painful eye responses, panicked a bit thinking it could be something new, can't do anything about it today being a public holiday so I saddles up my Hoss and we went for a lovely hour long ride. Lots of running about, even got a gallop out of him. Both worked up a sweat.

Then half an hour in the pool to chill out,
then half an hour of getting jiggy to work up another sweat :eek:

Might be in need of a nap in a bit....

Whoa, I forgot to post and encourage yesterday! Good going all of you. Pud, did you see Federer play? I love to watch him play.

I swama mile yesterday and also today.

Just got back from walking on the treadmill for a half hour.

I wanted to smack all the pushy people at the gym tho. I had to wait a few minutes for a treadmill to open up, was on the thing, getting my Kindle arranged and clipping myself to the emergency stop thingie just in case I'd fall off or something, and had two people ask me if I was getting off so they could use it. (Ummmm...No)

Then, because I wasnt running or jogging on it, some guy thought that didnt give me the right to use the treadmill. I ignored him.

Got off after about a half hour because my leg was getting tired (weird sensations in my right leg the last day or two) and the guy who kvetched because I wasnt jogging said "geeze...Finally!". Well, geeze...what a jerk! (ok, I might not have used the word "jerk", but something a bit stronger, but I was mumbling it to myself and not actually telling him what a "jerk" he was.)


As for the weird sensations in my right leg, it feels almost like I have a pulled muscle without having the pain from a pulled muscle. Not sure if my leg is weak or not, but it just feels weird to walk....and the pain in my left foot from the arthritis in my big toe and the toe next to it are driving me nuts.

Both my feet have been a bit numb this week too. Think that started saturday night. It sucks to have both feet and the left hand numb...and my right hand is having weird sensations when I touch some stuff. Like my hand is going numb, but isnt numb yet.

The MS is really ticking me off now. At least today I'm not feeling like I'm going to fall down like I was feeling over the weekend.

Had a nice bimble around town, got my eyes checked - they're FINE. No panic. :)
Exercised my tear ducts watching 'UP'. OMG, what a sad film!!!! :(
Now exercising my eyes watching Federer play again (Raffa pulled out last night) :eek:
And exercising my right arm putting peanut m+m's in my gob. :o

Tuesday night spin class last night. No big news...60 minutes, avg HR 75% of max, max HR 88% of max and 722 calories burned.

Did the now-daily 30 min stationary bike..feels so, so much better than that walking. The stiff calf muscles and hip flexors make that difficult...I can't even walk standing straight due to those hip flexors...
anyway, when I got home, I cleaned for an hour...it felt so good! Never thought I'd feel good cleaning!

walked 1/2 mile. got my hair cut. im done! :o

Good job Dejibo; in flare but still walking :)

Debbie its so great that you do that daily :)

Hey TxBatman--another great workout!

pud, its good that you let yourself relax too!

Erin, that a way hanging in there even though you were getting pressure to get off. Don't worry about those folks, they do not have a clue. Just give them your beautiful smile. Maybe even say, "I have Multiple Sclerosis and I'm doing the best I can to stay active. Please do not make it harder".

I swam a mile today.

Thanks, BBS...I am so tired in the morning, but I push myself up and out, and feel so much better after a workout, no matter that it's just 30 min. Not supposed to do too much until released by the surgeon...I hope to get that next Wednesday...
Dej...way to go...keep it up!:hug:
Erin, there are so many obnoxious people in the gym...once I was giving myself 30 seconds between sets on a weight machine, and a guy came up to me and said, "You going to be done sometime today?"
Of course I wasn't menopausal then, so I meekly said, "One more set."
Now, I'd bite his head off:mad:

My dad does the weight lifting machines at the gym. He doesnt do a lot of weights, he's older and has a heart condition, so he does the easy stuff, but he goes thru the entire group of machines except maybe one.

What he hates are people who camp out on one machine and never let it go. They have posted rules that you're not to camp out on one machine for an hour, but people dont pay attention to that.

My dad used to just skip the machines that had campers, but now he'll go up to them and ask if he can use the machine to do a set so he can get thru his exercises. They'll usually let him do it, altho one woman yelled at him once.

I didnt do exercises today, ate out at a chinese buffett last night, and I think something from that gave me a stomach ache. (why does "stomach" look like it's mispelled? my brain has been doing that to me all night...Firefox claims it's spelled correctly)

My feet are driving me nuts. I thought having a numb left hand was bad, but having two numb feet, a numb left hand, and a right hand that just feels weird sure is irritating. (I cant tell if my right hand feels normal and I've just forgotten what that feels like, or if it's starting to go numb too. Weird that I've forgotten already what feeling normal feels like)
