Teens in my area make 15 dollars an hour.

Keeping a journal is the most important thing for me. If I have to skip a line entry, it's not a good feeling. My workouts are highly prescribed and goal oriented so this helps a lot with the journaling.

Join just for the group. You don't have to erm, do the whole FB thang. I don't for the most part.

What does your endocrinologist think of your diet? Does he think you are getting enough nutrients by eating this way? How is your sleep?

In Europe I bought a bunch of over the door hangers. I'm glad I did because when we moved back I haven't been able to find any here in the US which is a shame. Mine look similar to this but much longer bc they have a foldout part. I just hang them over the doors.

If anyone wants to join us at the WTM exercise FB, just pm me. We are having fun there too! It's a closed, "secret", group so no one else can see the posts.

Technically of course Max Shank is showing mobility work not stretching. ;)

Greta, sounds like you would be a fan of Ido Portal's work.
or any number of people doing similar kind of work.

To my mind, if you don't have full range of motion of every joint, you need to be stretching.
Why don't you look at Max Shank's 5 minute flow youtubes as a great way to work those joints.

My body does not respond well to stretching.
Put your big girl panties on and do it anyway.
This. At first, stretching is more like a workout but with time you will loosen up. For the record, there is nothing relaxing about stretching.
Regarding the plyo, I think it's more of a walk before you run situation. What kind of plyo are you thinking of doing? Body weight exercises can be pretty taxing on the cns and you are already doing a lot of cardio type exercise.
Again, YMMV. I do not know the current state of your athleticism.

I don't agree with Laurie's PT, as I believe we should be building strength across the full ROM of every joint, but who am I to say?
If you are interested I think MoveSkill
has posted the videos of their exercise library. I think it might be worth joining ;) to get a comprehensive plan.

Greta, I typed up a whole thing this morning and lost it. Let me try again. Your schedule sounds like it is for someone who is very highly motivated and can keep on track aka, you have a lot of stuff on there. I would recommend keeping a journal to help with motivation.
Since you said you are doing walking and rehab every day, these are the changes I would make to your schedule.
Remove plyo on Thursday and add stretching. Remove Sunday's workout and make it another stretch day.
Also, for your heavy lift days read this little article on deloading and think about how you might structure your long term lift schedule.
In terms of arm exercises, it's hard to recommend something when it's not really clear which exercises are in your plan.

It's just that change is hard, especially when it's something that you feel is part of your identity. Instead of feeling like you've gone against your identity and principles, acknowledge that you are exploring and expanding on parts of it that you didn't consider before. Sending him to school is a valid choice. Start thinking now too, what you might like to be doing now that he will be in school. Is there a hobby or work that you are interested in pursuing?
I used to be so passionate and now I'm just going through the motions.I had dreams of excellence for all of our kids and dh and I are in a position to help them achieve that.Why do I feel like such a failure? I never thought I'd be bailing on something I used to feel so strongly about.

If you want, listen to this episode of this podcast for some great information. You can find it in itunes too.

I've been eating like this since 2011
I don't think such a low calorie diet is meant to be used long term. How do you know you are getting enough nutrients? Are you supplementing with vitamins and minerals? Or eating a freak ton of vegetables?
I think a good read might be the Perfect Health Diet. Check your library.

I think it's wonderful you live that life. But I have to admit I am a little skeptical that ever single person you know only ever chooses to - for example - go running because it brings them pleasure.
Ever hear of runner's high?

Try some of the escogue exercises. They are super simple and can provide some relief while waiting for the MRI. It's very much worth it to buy the book too, if you're prone to having oops moments, as the book has more exercises in it.

It isn't a weight loss diet. It is an elimination diet to help weed out allergies or sensitivities. Weight loss is often a result of doing it though but not always.
This.
For those who haven't lost tons of weight as they were expecting, and are exercising a lot, how do you balance the idea of a # on the scale vs. body composition? Do you know how your body comp has changed over this period of time?
I'm just curious.

I drink smoothies but only use a very minimal amount of fruit, such as 1/4 green apple, or 1/4 cup frozen raspberries, I use water as my liquid. 3TBS of hemp seeds work well for protein too. Amazon has a good price on them.
I will say that most people think my smoothie recipes are disgusting because they are not sweet at all. Hey, I like them that way.
Here's my go to recipe:
large chuck aloe vera
1/2 cucumber peeled
1/4 green apple
handful of wheatgrass
mineral drops
1/2 lime squeezed
3TBS hemp seed
2 TBS coconut creme
water
LOL :gnorsi:
