Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort are the games that I've been using. I like the baseball games on Wii Sports, and the bowling, archery and sword fighting games on Wii Sports Resort. (sword fighting game is fun. I can beat up on Wii Mii's)

Woke up this morning to sore muscles in my arms. I had fun last night beating up on the Wii Mii's.

Went spinning Monday and Tuesday nights. Shoulder felt good after PT monday afternoon...still doing ok for now. Going to another PT appt for my shoulder in about an hour, then going to ride outside with a coworker for a couple of hours tonight. Wish me luck...it will probably still be around 98F when we get started...

TX, what do they do for your shoulder at PT. I used to get a wonderful treatment for my lower back pain and weakness in PT.:yahoo:

walked 3 miles today. Im kinda out of sorts today. I think its from all the energy draining BS of yesterday, but the walk felt good after I got started. Company tomorrow. I hope I can walk before they get here.

Great job Dej, take a day off if needed to gather your energies. I'm glad to hear that your walk today felt good after you got going. Do you find that you 'blow off steam' or your worries (to a degree) melt away while you're walking?

I walk by myself currently (until hubby moves here!) and it's like a form of mediation for me. I just toss on my sunglasses, put on my non-flattering comfy walk clothing, and leave my cares behind for an hour while I'm out.

I hope you have much better days to come :hug:

Sally,

They have me do a series of stretches to loosen the muscles up some. They seem to be adding a few new and extra stretches each time. Then they do manual manipulation of my shoulder and neck (think very deep tissue massage). Finally, they put me on a traction machine that alternately stretches and releases my neck for about 15 minutes.

It seems to be slowly working...the deeper they work in the manual manipulation portion, the better it seems to feel. Went to PT last night, then went out with a coworker and rode about 20 miles in 100F heat afterwards. My shoulder only hurts a little today, so maybe I am past the worst of it.

Yesterday I went for a 20 minute swim and today I went for a 20 minute bike ride. :)

Had a wild day yesterday.... boss showed up at home office last minute to go over my Q3 results (I ranked "outstanding" - very good!) and then she told me they're moving me up before end of Q4 (as of next pay) by a pay scale, as I've been performing at such a high level and she convinced her boss to speed up the process and get me compensated earlier than later for my work. So yay to that!

I walked yesterday morning (and this morning... these morning walks are the best ever!). I received a shipment from hubby (one of his large televisions) via UPS/Purolator yesterday, only to get charged duty as an "importer" (this is a used tv, several years old, and was a gift), so whatever to that... then open the box to find they tossed it around so bad they broke the styrofoam casing that holds the TV stable in the box, and broke a corner of the tv casing! I freaked!!! I knew he'd be upset, and that was my main concern.

Stress went through the ROOF. Burning mouth flare up, blurry vision flare up, tinglies and numbies flare up... walking time bomb! So I went out and did a 4.5 km "blow steam off" walk last night.

Converting rage and anger to exercise = smart! LOL :)

Calmed down - TV works, only the front 'casing' (which could be replaced) got broken on the corner, at a distance near impossible to see/tell, as it's more the top/back facing, versus the front.

went on a 3 mile hike UP rabbit hollow. I made it all the way to Stone mountain road. WAHOOO! OMG that is quite the feat. I didnt stop to rest, I just kept trucking.
