Moira Stott Total Body Sculpting Level 2 (2008)
Hi Ladies,
Today was my kayaking day on the Providence river downtown. When I got home I decided to stick with pilates and use the body band for something a bit more relaxing. This is a longer workout (almost an hour) with lots of instruction, but it was good! Nice stretch for the body, as well! But, I added on....

Mari Winsor Upper Body Sculpting (2002)
I don't remember using this one much before, but today I liked it! Mari has you using very light (one to two pound) weights and it's a pretty thorough workout. I would normally use three's for this but felt I'd already worked muscles today with kayaking and Moira's workout, too! I'm excited to be trying some of Mari's workouts again and maybe I will do a pilates rotation next month with that being my focus. We'll see, though. So many options! Again, this workout is pretty short (25 minutes or so) and was great! I'm more likely to use Mari's to add-on to another workout and I know why Moira's have sat on the shelf for so long.
Kayaking was nice today. We had a bit of rain between 11am and noon, but very light. It cooled things off and was a real treat. We all went out to eat afterwards at a sandwich place and sat on the patio. Nice scenery of beautiful plants and birds.

I did my volunteer filing today. It might be the last time, since I hope to start work next week sometime.
I talked to my daughter, and she told me her roommate, who is a K teacher at the school, said I didn't need to make friends with the students. They wouldn't talk to me anyway, lol. They just say that in the interview. That's a relief! They are desperate for help at the moment. The school close to them closed down due to lack of teachers, and they are absorbing the overflow. Arizona is having a teacher shortage too. In fact, I got my fingerprint card really quickly, in five days, most likely they expedited it due to the shortage. Pam, I'm sorry to hear about your foot pain. Mine is mostly in my mouth, so it doesn't interfere with standing lol. In fact, doing something distracts me so that I don't even notice it. Fortunately, it's subsided quite a bit and I hope it continues to heal. I don't have my full energy back after having shingles, so hopefully I will be able to handle it next week. You know, I have found that the more I do, the less pain I have. I was actually programming my brain to produce more pain signals by not being active. The more I do, the more I reprogram my brain that it's safe, and it doesn't have to send more pain signals. I don't know if that might help you? I did wonder if I should mention it in the thread where the poster had PF for a year. I never know how people will accept it. However, it can be completely due to a physical reason. But if the injury should have healed, but there is still pain, it might be possible to rewire the brain.

Popping in very quickly to say - congrats, Sherry!! I think the job will be good for you.
I agree with a lot of what you have said about pain. I mean there are definitely physical causes for it - but I think there is a mental component as well and re-training your brain helps. Anyway - I'm glad you are seeing improvement. Pam -sorry about your foot pain. Yesterday I dropped something on my foot while not wearing shoes (I never wear shoes) and it is bruised now.... today was just a weird day - power went out - my DD drove me a bit crazy w/ how she self-sabotages - like waiting until the last min to register for classes. I guess her penance will be having an 8:00 a.m. class and a 5:30 p.m.class. I did workout today - but it seems like a long time ago- Body Kind Fitness - 5,000 step workout - I like her routines - I didnt' get 5K steps and I did some Lucy Wyndham Read add ons. I'm wiped out. Off to rest. Donna |
