Well, my dear darling daughter has gone on holidays with her dad for two weeks. Not sure how I feel about that.
I do, I'm sad cause 'something' will happen to delay their return. Do I trust this guy? Not in the least! I was married to him, I know (unfortunately) how he thinks. I don''t understand it, it doesn't make sense to me or anyone else for that matter, but none-the-less, I have no kidlet for two weeks. Guess I'll clean my house, work out, meet my girlfriend for coffees, I'll make it.
I think my Hby is off for some of that so we'll probably go on a little holiday on the bike, so I'll make it.
I did get up this morning and have a good work out. I did numerous double leg lunges to warm up, 50 reps of single leg lunges, back/trap/lat/legs/butt pulls, bicep curls, chest press, ab/oblique raises with 'chin-ups', back to do 40 more single leg lunges, and plie squats. That feels more like it.
I'm drinking lemon 'tea' (boiling water over sliced lemon-GOOD detoxifier!) to make sure I'm 'clean', and I'll take my supps with my dinner of scallops, shrimp, onion, garlic with veggies.

Wow, the humidity is ... well, humid-I won't even bother trying to keep my hair straight!
NEW ab work out!
Now when I am laying on my back on the Gym, I grip the bars over my head, and not only just lift my legs, I lift and over to the side to work the obliques. Hubby is doing really well with his abs so now I need to up my anti-game. I also did 70 reps on each leg, 50 at a time, rest, then 20 more. Then I do however many I can together.
The frustrating thing is that I have some muscle wasting on my right side so I trying and doing more to build/keep it up. Can you ever get it back? I dunno, but I won't stop trying.
I made a twist on a Caesar salad for supper last night, and it was AMAZING!!!
For the greens I mixed romaine, iceberg, and bok choy
Bacon bits
croutons
lemon juice
shredded cheddar/monterey jack/mozza cheeses
pre-made dressing
garlic flakes
wow! it was good. I also sauteed some scallops with onion, butter, and garlic pepper seasoning
Hubby bbq'ed some chicken breasts and man! THAT was a good dinner!
The cool thing is that even my daughter liked it, and she doesn't try anything new. Course, you don't tell her it's different until she's eaten it and liked it - ahh the games we must play to get our kids to eat! Hmph! You'd think it would be over by 13-not so! So (quue the ta-da music) I WON!!!
It's like the "One small step for mankind (mother), ..."
Now this 'Mankind mother' has to go shopping with the child. Tee hee, we had an awesome day yesterday, and sitting on the deck after supper hubby was playing music off his phone and she was guessing (telling) what song it was.
Man my kid has superglue for brains! Practically two notes in and she's nailed it. Of course except some of the obscure stuff from caveman days!
Going to pick up some flax seed to grind fresh on my yogurt and eggs etc. Also some broccoli, cauliflour(why can't I spell that?), onions and garlic for magnesium and sulpher(again!) and cruciferous veggies to open and relax blood vessels thereby lowering blood pressure and fighting cancer. I love those foods anyway so it's basically 'carry on, carry on'!

Well, Hubby is now 'come to the dark side' in terms of being careful about what he eats, and he now 'gets' my obsession with supplements and food. That has got to be the most validating feeling I've had in a long time. He was listening to a newsclip about different things regarding health and he said that THIS is probably why and how I've kept my MS 'down' and why I'm doing as well as I am. He's right - the fact that I don't eat red meat, and stick to mostly fish and some chicken, along with all the veggies has probably kept me 'standing' for this long. I always wonder where I might be if I hadn't adopted this way after chemo. I think, and firmly believe, that sure chemo may have given things a shake and slowed them, maybe even stalled them for a time, but the fact that I HAVE changed my diet/with supplements has been what has kept things in check.
And also how 'they're' talking about the benefits of exercise on MS, even more importantly so than on a 'regular joe'.
Yes there are things I can't do. And to a degree it's frustrating, like the volunteer work I was doing at the MCC. I felt good about doing it, but it took too much out of me. I know people think that it's not that I worked so hard physically, I stood. But standing is SOOO hard when you think about how many muscles it takes. It's so easy to take it for granted, and sometimes I do too, but when you combine that with keeping and using balance, constantly moving and using those muscles, my poor little noggin apparently can't do it.
I haven't worked out today - it's fairly warm out (hot in the sun), so I've been puttering around the house and outside doing bits here and there. But when I texted hubby to tell him what I've been doing, I was flabbergasted and impressed with ME. Get a load of this!
I:
cleaned the yard (picked up the dog poop)
weeded the back garden
watered garden
transplanted some onions and fixed herb pots
planted some fig trees
watered the front flowers
did a load of laundry
bathed the dog
And it's hot out!
I texted hubby to tell him that supper was his deal, I'm done. So he phones and tells me to take some meat out of the freezer to BBQ. Hmmm, not what I was thinking, but at this point - whatever! ;>
Supplements are the same, flaxseed oil, omega3's VitD, B12, VitC so nothing has really changed there.
Ohhh, the heat, and my work has taken it's toll - I just got a whiff of 'me' - it's time to shower.

Ok, went downtown, had the pics done for xtra work, but when I looked at them on my profile, UGH!!! My hair decided to take a day off, my posture wasn't right, I looked like I had racoon sunglasses eyes(they didn't look like that in real I'm SURE!), on and on...
My legs definately are sore after yesterday's workout. But not in my quads where I THOUGHT they would (70 reps should've hurt), but in the top inside of my thighs from doing deep plie squats. I guess I have to do more of those so tomorrow is a new day...
Was good for eating - trail mix, apple, grapes, and water spread out over today. Yeah I know, not enough, but after seeing those pics, just UGH!!! We gotta do better than that!
We'll see where this goes.

Well, it's been a bit, but I'm back! MS has been 'good' to me, leaving me be - how 'thoughtful'
I've been out of the 'workout' game for a bit as I had company for 2 wks so I did get back into it this morning.
When listening/watching to what the 'key' is to toning/trimming your legs I keep hearing the same song: light weight/high reps. SO I pushed my reps for my legs up this morning to 50. It used to be 10, then 20. now enough is enough - go hard! And it was! doing individual legs, 50 reps each, rest for 30 sec, then 20 more. We're gonna beat this thing! Ok, maybe that's a little over-the-top, but I can at least try, and I'm sure there will be results. There's gotta be!
Also took a break from supplements for a bit(except B12 shot) so we got that going today too. I do believe that it's a good thing for your body, why? That I'm not sure. Maybe I'm wrong. But I keep thinking that one's liver needs a break as it has the huge task of breaking down and sending the appropriate nutrients to the proper 'home'. Hey, We get holidays...!
Got an early day tomorrow as I'm going downtown to get my shots in for 'xtra' work for film/TV/movies etc. Now THAT is exciting!! Maybe all this body work I do will pay off...!
Wish me luck! ;D

Oh. Sorry to bug you again. Someone asked if I take a pet. You mean with me to the park? Well, yes I do, it is a dog park I go to. However the one with the big hill that I used to climb isn't an off leash park and the 'Park Nazi' caught me and gave the 'What-For'- so, now I go to the park that's 'off-leash', no hills, but I do lunges and leg work outs more to compensate.
And what does it mean if a person 'galvanizes'? Forgive my ignorance but 'galvanize' to me is a type of metal, that we used in 'Shop' class in school, the bucket I fed the pigs/chickens with, a bucket you picture for catching the milk milking a cow...I dunno, I've never heard it as a verb/action/mood/state of mind, please clarify.
