He was also my favourite Muppet too. I love cooking and unfortunately I am about successful as he is sometimes. Sorry to hear you're not having a great day. Cheer yourself up with some Swedish Chef compilations that are on YouTube !

for all of your support. I'm so thankful for everyone in the Hive. And for so many emojis to choose from. 
Wednesday I had to drive to town again, got back late, and was too exhausted to do anything but catch up with the teen, so no workout. It was a slightly better day yesterday but today was much better. Part of the reason was because my boss put a sign on the office door asking everyone to come in quietly. We're in the middle of an audit and it's amazing how the constant noise and interruptions are exhausting both mentally and psychic-ly (is that a word?). The other day I felt like I had shell shock! The noise level went down considerably today so I'm hopeful.
4 May Workout:
2 Minute Warm Up
EoD
Hard Reset Cardio, day 10
Lower Abs Challenge, day 3
Unbound, day 19
Have a peaceful evening.

Do you mean psychologically of physically?
But I get the draining of constant noise and interruptions, it just costs a lot of energy to focus. Though a soft rumour is better for me than absolute silence, because if it's silent, I hear every small sound and get distracted much easily. I didn't get how my fellow students could study in the library, I did hear every cough, pen click, scratch, or whatever sound anyone made. I preferred studying at home with the radio on at a low volume.
Good to hear you had a better day!

@NancyTree and @CODawn thanks.
I've not worked out since last Thursday. I've had some low back pain near the sacrum for weeks but just thought I was getting old. I didn't fall or get injured so I wasn't worried about it. Friday I had extreme back pain and nerve pain down my leg. After work I just couldn't take it anymore so I went to the doctor. I already knew that I had osteoporosis in some areas and was at risk for fractures. I was given some meds for nerve pain and they took x-rays. Today (Monday) I got the x-ray results. I have compressed disks in the L4 and L5 vertebrae and pars defect in S1 (basically a fracture). I've been referred to a back doctor for further evaluation.
I'm kind of in shock. I don't know what this means long term. I am a very active person and now I've been told not to lift anything greater than 10lbs.
After resting my back over the weekend and using the meds (which I don't like because they make me drowsy) I feel better. But the pain is still there, just not as intense.
My motto is I Press On and Never Give Up, Never Surrender!
I'm having a hard time believing it right now.

@NancyTree @Mianevem @Tileenah @Montserrat @Froud @BetaCorvi @TopNotch @Anek @Fremen thank you all for your support. I appreciate everyone in the Hive and your encouragement really helps.
Things haven't changed much since my last post. I still haven't received a referral to an orthopedist and really don't know what I should do and not do (other than what I've Googled online). Feeling very frustrated. The good news is that when I rest and don't lift anything the pain is better. The bad news is I hate resting and I have stuff to do! My family depends on me for lots of things. Yes, I can delegate to some degree and have done so. I'm supposed to travel this summer. Do I cancel my plans? Cause right now I can't bear the thought of sitting on a plane for 10+hours. *sigh*
Not giving up and not surrendering.
Gently pressing on.....

Today I'm re thinking my exercise program. The orthopedist said whatever doesn't hurt is ok. Meanwhile I've pulled something in my shoulder blade. 
But I'm not giving up, just going to be smarter. We'll see how today's exercise feels tomorrow.
24 May workout:
2 minute warm up
Total Burn, day 1 - this may be too high impact, we'll see
Dying bug, 50 reps
Alternate arm/leg extensions, 50 reps

Ok so a lot has happened in the last few months. I've finished working with a PT for issues with my SI joint and associated weakness in my left hip. Starting over slowly as some things still aggravate it, even water aerobics. But I Press On !
22 Aug Workout:
PT exercises & stretches - 20 min
30 days of LIIT - day 1
I was happy to discover the new LIIT program; it's just what I needed as high impact stuff is probably out of my picture for the foreseeable future.
Anyways, I've missed the Hive community!

@Mamatigerj @Fremen @BetaCorvi @aku-chan @Montserrat @Laura Rainbow Dragon @Tileenah It's good to be back!
I felt pretty good after my workout yesterday, pain was present but manageable with ice. The last few months have taught me how to really listen to my body and not let my mind overrule when I need to rest. I will go slowly. I will go slowly. I will go slowly....
23 Aug Workout:
PT exercises & stretches - 20 min
30 days of LIIT - day 2
Here's a little cutie with a sibling (who is behind the tree being shy).

@Tileenah @NancyTree @Anek There are many fawns running around now, they are so fun to watch!
Yesterday I had to drive to town after work and didn't get home until late, so no workout, plus my back was hurting so I rested and applied an ice pack.
25 Aug Workout:
PT stretches & exercises - 20 min
30 days of LIIT - day 3
Thinking about adding some core exercises besides the ones I do for PT. Have to find the right one.
Happy FRIDAY everyone!
