The dinner went well last night. I didn't spill anything on me although Fred offered to dump my plate on my lap to "make my dreams come true". What a guy. lol! The dinner was to get ready for a formal fundraiser in September. I haven't been to a formal event for years and I'm looking forward to finding just the right dress. I don't even know where to look for a long evening dress other than a bridal store and I want something that looks hollywood amazing, not bridal. Yep, I've been watching too many fashion programs. When I see the price tag, I'll likely change my tune!

Had to take it easy today. Too much mouse action in the office left me stiff and sore.

Biked 10' between miles to break things up. 1st mile, I kept the arm in a sling, the second, I let it dangle, or tucked my hand into the waistband of my shorts. 2nd mile was more comfortable

Woke up feeling pretty good this morning. I do like it when that happens! Feeling a productive day in the making. Plan to get a good chunk of my end of month deadline stuff done as well as a great workout. Feel like I'm starting to settle into a good routine with the shoulder and working around it. Tried again last night to sleep in bed. Just can't get in a comfortable position though. I've tried everything I can think of to make the shoulder comfortable, but it just won't happen. I'm good for about 10 minutes, then I start fidgiting and things go downhill.

Good quote this morning:
"To get through the hardest journey we need take only one step at a time, but we must keep on stepping."
Started the morning with PT. He was able to get some good range of motion out of me this morning, but really, not much more than passive motion stuff will be happening for the next several weeks. I was cautioned against doing too much without the sling. I've been walking around keeping my arm up against my body. Evidently that puts too much pressure on my bicep, so if I'm not going to be in the sling, I either have to support it with my other hand or let it hang straight down. Don't like letting it hang down while I'm walking around. It feels too vunerable. Guess I'll leave the sling on for the most part.
Signed up for a couple of events yesterday. A 5k on April 21st, and a half marathon on April 22nd. I know its a stretch to get ready for a half so quickly, but the plan officially starts January 30th. My job is to be in proper condition to start the plan. I'd like to do half TOSRV in May as well. but I'm not sure I can get in bike shape for the distance by then. Need to think about this a little more and if I'm serious, then I need to start toughening up the girlie parts a little.

Good starting point. Stuck my hand in the waistband of my shorts. It was the most comfortable posistion I could find.

Welcome to Monday! Excited to start a new week. Ready to get my ass in gear and make some great stuff happen for myself. Going to start building some endurance this week. I'll focus on starting with at least 30 minutes a day and start doing a bit longer weekend workouts. I think once I'm back in a "workout mindframe", the nutrition will follow. When I workout, I want to eat better. When I don't, I'm more likely to eat crap. Its really that simple.
Shoulder continues to improve noticeably on a daily basis. Tried to sleep in bed last night and still couldn't take the pressure. Feel like I'm really close though.

Good workout today. Had to give up one of my naps to get it in, but it was worth the effort. lol!
Okay, time to get focused again. Going to get back into things slowly but steadily this week.
Goals:
Read my goals above every morning
Bike or walk at least 15 minutes every day
Get my office deadline stuff done this week
I need to put a nutritional focus item here - wonder why my mind is resisting this so much?

Processing your request, please wait...
Easier to ride then walk today
Eh, just getting some time in. Definitely not feeling it.
