OMG, I am beyond excited..LOL..I trained today for the first time since I dunno when. I had a cortisone injection in my shoulder a week ago Friday (the second one) and, I had NO PAIN!!!! Not one bit! Nil, nada, nothing-YAY!!!!

I just have to pace myself now and make sure I don't go to hell with it in the first few days. But it felt sooooo good. And I wasn't using 10 lb DB's either..LOL..Not near as heavy as before, but not little baby weights either. I did two pressing movements and not a thing did I feel!!

I am STOKED!!!!

And buff, the program ROCKS!! I am gonna love it

Can ya tell I'm happy?

Cardio only today- 20 min bike, 20 min elliptical

This will be my comparison pic. I am hoping to see big changes in the next 6 weeks. I'm too fat. If I can get 10 lbs off, I'll be starting my comp diet 18 lbs lighter than last year- that's huge!!!!!

I am confused is that good or bad

OK, yesterday I trained again. And, OMG, I was SO excited!!!!

I have hardly lost any strength and I have NO pain- everything was perfect!!!! Rack deads- I lifted 250. For having so much time off from training, I am sooooo pleased!!!! I need to break 300- then I will be more than happy!!!

The knee felt great doing leg press!

I can feel a difference already in my clothes!!

Wheeeee!!

Did the shits with my diet over the weekend I wonder sometimes if I have it in me to compete again.

Cardio this morning x 40 minutes

[goes4ever]

why is it the older we get the harder it is to eat clean?

Training this afternoon- went well. Flat BP did aggravate my shoulder a bit. I think though, that it's just a matter of getting used to doing it again. And dropping the weight back a little. Although I was as pleased as shit that I could lift it

Cardio this morning x 40 minutes.

Saw my surgeon and I go back to work on Monday. I start off an easeback- 4 hours and increase as tolerated. My doc encouraged me to find another nursing job that is less strenuous and where you are not on your feet as much. I hope the hell I don't need that for awhile. He's less than encouraging..lol..but he says it's because he knows how bad my knee is. But I'm tough, I'm not ready to give in yet
