So you know how the Plank position is so good for developing your core/abs?  Well I could never seem to do it.  Now, I've finally found a way to modify 'the plank' so I can do it.  Till now, because of the permanent damage in the right side of my body (due to lesions in the left cerebral cortex, I THINK!), I haven't been able to stay up on my toes in this position.  My right foot would always slide out to 'toe-point' position.  At first I thought I would just keep trying - a bit each day - and I will always try, but I do know that I need to modify it so I can at least do it to reap benefits.  Yesterday while I was trying yet again (and it is hard to get to the 'want to' point to even try anymore), I finally just stayed on the tops of my feet in a push up position.  That did it!  Today I feel my abs/core!  Yea!!! Now I can keep strengthening with that making my core stronger.

Sometimes I think the hardest part of being as much of a health conscious, nutrition minded person is that I seem to give myself guilt trips about messing up.  I'm my own worst critic, but I do think that unless we are uber-confident/conceited, most of us are like that to a degree.

Last night for supper I even had roast beef!  Yes it was really good (he makes homemade Yorkshire Pudding-amazing!!!), but I did make sure I 'layered' bites with vegetables to flush it through quicker!  Yep, I'm a freak! Oh, and I didn't have any supplements. Ah, well, I do wonder sometimes if taking a night off here and there from supplements is better.  I can't see it being harmful.  Again your thoughts and opinions are welcome.

Monday A.M. is back to workout time!

Till next time B Hlthy!
