Here and there.
Helen: I'm sure you've mentioned it before, but you're only 4'10" tall??? Hmm. . . I somehow forgot that.
The back? Better. much better. Thank you. Went back to the doctor Fri. I have a renewal on the muscle relaxers, although I haven't had to take any in a few days. Nice to have them for emergencies though.
Lili: How did you like the SoulCycle? There's a big debate between Soul Cycle and Peloton on one of my groups. Oh and Peloton is getting 3 new instructors. (I think one was a soul cycle instructor)
Mena: Ohhhhhhhhhh that's awful. Just the anticipation for your poor baby and then they change it to so far away? Ugggggggggg ...... Not nice.
I haven't done much in the way of workouts. Feels like forever (it's only been 4 days and will be remedied today as I finish here and get on the bike.) We've had thunderstorms, our waterbed sprung a leak, sleep has not been good (till last night) and I went and met some stranger from the internet in a park and ride**
But all in all, I think I'm back. New challenge starts 8/19 and will be considerably easier than the last. No strength, only 5 rides a week ... We'll see.
** stranger from the internet. I ordered a waterbed matress and topper from amazon. It arrived. Dh drained the old mattress (that was probably leaking for a long while) ... We have an encasement around it, so it won't leak OUT of the bed itself. . . that's why we think it's been leaking awhile. Soo instead of checking to make sure I got the correct encasement (I didn't) he drained the waterbed and then said, "This won't work" oy ... So I did an internet search, found a warehouse company about 40 miles north of us and called them that night (around 9 p.m.) Obviously a home cell #. . the lady said, "Yes, I have one .... Where are you from? Ok - I'll meet you part way to save you some travel time at the park and ride by such and such." I said sure. Hung up the phone. Dh asked if I ordered the right one ... I said, I dunno - call her back and ask . So he did. As I"m driving up to meet this woman, I'm thinking, "What on earth am I doing?" but it felt ok. She then said she's driving a white escalade ... and I chuckled to myself and thought, "See, the bad guys all seem to drive BLACK escalades in the movies, so I'm sure you're fine!"
Bottom line, I met her, People knew where I was, what time, etc. . . and I had an exit strategy. Sort of. And now I have a waterbed accessory source. We chatted about 15 minutes, I paid her and off I went. . . . . .
Ok, enough story telling. Waterbed is up and sleepable so I finally got a good night's sleep last night. On to the workouts: (not much, but I'm counting them!)
8/5/2019: CDE's ABBA theme ride (30 minutes - Peloton)
8/6/2019: J
ennifer Jacaobs Country Christmas Ride (20 minutes - Peloton)
That's it ... but I feel great and I'm off to hit the bike now. Back to working out and checking in. Onward we go through August. At least I got it together before the middle of the month.
Waves to all and make it a great day.
