[QUOTE="Annie, post: 3023135, member: 42224"] Ok, so the doc put me back on restriction with regard to weightlifting (until they can get a "better look" with "real" xrays ... (my dysphagiagram showed something troubling with the plates that are holding everything in place right now -- not terrible news, we are just being cautious) but I can still do cardio so I wore myself out on the rowing machine yesterday. It was a good workout. I worked up a good sweat for an hour on the stationary bike and then did a half hour on the rower to cool down. The muscles between my shoulders are good and sore today. Today I took it kinda easy and just did some bodyweight stuff at home. Planks, some other about work, pushups on the wall, and the exercises they gave me during physical therapy. Anything I could do that wouldn't put a strain my neck, but still worked my abs and glutes and legs. I was gonna do some armwork but I could feel it a little too much in my neck for me to be comfortable doing them. Better safe than sorry. I really ought to go to the gym and do some cardio but, I have a bazillion excuses why I can't get in the car and go down the street -- the biggest one is I'm just pooped. Lol It's so weird to me that I "MISS" doing my cardio if I now if I don't get it in. I'm hoping I'll start feeling that way about weightlifting eventually. GOOD NEWS!! I know you guys who haven't seen me don't know what a big deal this is but I've lost 5 pounds in the last 14 days. (Doctor's appointments were timed just right, so I weighed on the same scales. I was ecstatic! Doc thinks until we get the swallowing thing figured out I should cut down a little bit because he knows I'm (or at least was, until Tuesday) lifting weights so he says I'm losing too fast, since he's sure I'm also building muscle. I appreciate you guys letting me ramble on about this stuff. The old man could care less -- not that he doesn't care about my health -- he is just not interested in ANYTHING that even remotely resembles breaking a sweat ... And I've gotten to where I REALLY enjoy my time at the gym ... [/QUOTE]
