Home Early Today

I am home early today because we have a little snow again and work let us go home early.
I am always thankful to be home early. I can quilt or just chill. Maybe I can even walk a mile on the elliptical in a bit.

Last week, the bad week, I gained a pound, but by this morning I had lost it again. I know some say that you shouldn't weigh every day, but I just have to to make sure I don't gain five pounds back. At any rate I have have kicked up my elliptical to put a little more pressure on myself. I have gotten to where I can do all the programs without too much trouble so I decided to try to add some speed to my workouts.

I need to be doing more resistance training with my dumbells, but I have to be very careful because I have a bad shoulder and degenerated upper vertebra and if I am not careful I will have pains from nerves not sore muscles. There is something just plain wrong with my right bicep. It is like it is shriveled up. I do have trouble in the right shoulder and have had pain in that bicep muscle for a couple of years, but it just is so much smaller than the left bicep and weak in comparison. I am working on that slowly too. I will ask the doctor about that when I go in a few months. Someone said that I may have torn that bicep in the past. Possibly doing some work in my garden or yard.

I am in much better spirits this week and will persevere. Take care and have a warm day.
