We did a planking challenge in my olympic lifting class last week after a full hour of lifting. A guy I could have given birth to and I were the last ones standing. I realized he wasn't going to quit until I did, so I dropped at 3:02, but could have gone to 4 minutes easy. Music helps. Hang in there. It gets better.

So rehab is coming along..Im at one month out of surgery..I got permission to "walk" so Monday I walked 1.5 miles around the park..I tried to keep up my heart rate as much as I could but didn't want to pu****

I need to work on "My Core" according to my Hip Doctor's PT... so that's something I need to work on..started planking yesterday..not very exciting at all..and not easy..

tomorrow is 9/11...never forget..

Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend.

Week 2 of rehab is in the books. FINALLY got rid of the crutches so Im able to walk now. Trying to not limp. My leg is very weak. I have to do these exercises at home (stretches, air squats, squeezes etc). I have 5 more rehab sessions and then Im not sure what they will have me doing. Im going to ask if I can walk around the park for some exercise but not trying to push the limit yet. It sucks though because Im so used to working out and I have gained live 7 pounds so far. I know what I need to do but my body wont let me yet so its tough but I know it will be over soon.

Hope everyone is doing well. It is so hard to see summer winding down. Get up at 5 in the morning and dark. I want to summer to stay. I have been pretty ill and finally went to a walk in clinic and got some meds and starting to feel better

Waaaay Late. Started a new jobs a couple of weeks ago - working part time at my health club at the front desk. Long story short, I think I'm starting my 3rd act and may leave practicing law. Started at the beginning of August and I'm loving the lack of responsibility.

Tuesday - Olympic Lifting class

Wednesday - my knee hurts so bad from the front that's moving through, I'm not fencing tonight. I can count on one hand the number of times I've not fenced in 2 years.

Thursday - personal trainer 1 hour

Sunday - Standing for 6 hours at work, with a short workout before.

Best wishes to all this week.
