Cooper status - Fluff boy hopes you had a good day. If you're wondering if he had a good day - Yes! He got a helper piece for dinner. Yes, he helps us cook by supervising us and... taste testing. Yes, that is what he does.
These are very important jobs! Thank you for being so helpful, Cooper!
 
1,367 - PT stuff! Basically for PT right now we're focusing on my shoulders, especially since my left shoulderblade has that pinched nerve (imagine the feeling when your foot falls asleep. imagine that on your left shoulderblade. but all the time. for almost two months. mother theresa ain't got nothing on my saintliness because the fact that i haven't torn up a tank with my bare hands from sheer irritation should mean something). We're doing stuff with resistance bands and-- I'm sure I've said this before, but a darebee resistance band workout would be amazing.

757 - Some meditation!

Good thing - Kinda sad that a lot of what I look forward to nowadays is sleep but y'know what, whatever, my bed is nice.

Cooper status - Fluff boy loves you. Did you know that? His important job today was to make sure that I felt loved before I went off to work (he does this every day)
 
1,368 - Some PT stuff and I saw there was a seated arms of steel program so... Doing that, level 3, seeing how I feel tomorrow.

758 - Lil' bit o' meditation!

Good thing - A sunny and above freezing day? I'll take it.

Cooper status - He did an excellent job being Cooper today!

He wants you to know you did an excellent job being you today, too.

He's so proud of you.
 
OoOo, I did that training. It's a pretty decent work out. It'll make you never want to clench and unclench your hands ever again though, haha.

And thank you Cooper. You are much loved and appreciated.
I am more than tempted to now do 100 clenches/unclenches a night on top of everything else just to be funny.

1,369 - PT Stuff and seated arms of steel day 2!

759 - Lil' bit of meditation!

Good thing - The Pokemon Day announcements were INSANE. GOD I CANNOT WAIT FOR Z-A.

Cooper status - Fluffball wants to remind you that it is a bad day, not a bad life. We can get through this. And he also loves you.
 
1,370 - PT stuff and seated arms of steel day 3!

760 - Few minutes of meditation here and there!

Good thing - Well despite the awful stuff happening in the world I managed to get a W in my Pokemon match tonight YAY

Cooper status - Also I cuddled with Cooper a lot tonight. Went to get some tea downstairs, saw him looking comfy on the couch with mom and dad, plopped next to him, nearly fell asleep just cuddling this space heater of a doggo (who loves you)
 
1,371 - Walked a little bit, arms of steel seated day 4, PT stuff!

761 - Few minutes of meditation!

Good thing - Went to the farmers market. Got some delicious bread that the family and I ate with delicious pasta.

Cooper status - He praises Shelby for her excellent cuddling work. He also suggests everyone get more cuddling in.
 
1,372 - PT stuff, walking, and day 5 of the seated arms o' steel!

762 - Few minutes here and there!

Good thing - W in Pokemon was short lived as I forgot a clause we had about mega stones (it'd take a bit to explain, I just, remembered something hilariously incorrectly) but at least I'm not freaking out about it as much as I'd normally do. Also got delicious ramen with a friend, that was lit.


Also I remembered this existed, so that's neat.

Cooper status - We had some cuddle time today! He appreciates this.

Also I wanna hop on my soapbox real quicklike - I want to reiterate, with the state of the world, that my journal is a safe space for those who do not feel safe. If you feel abandoned by what the guy in charge wherever he may be is doing... Then you're welcome here. I don't reflect the position of the government here for sure, and probably neither do you with yours. Basically, look, Coop and I are here if you're freaked out. Okay? I love you.
 
1,373 - PT stuff and sitting arms of steel day 6!

763 - Few minutes in!

Good thing - I won't lie chat, I'm finding fewer things to be happy about nowadays due to the terrible actions of certain people. Please just know that if you feel abandoned by America right now... ... Americans feel the same way now. At least, a good chunk of us. If my government isn't behind you, please know I am. I love you, fellow bees.

Cooper status - and he loves you, too.
 
I'm trying to be mindful of all the little things in life. And, well, how it could be worst. It's difficult some days. But know that you and Cooper are one of those things that gives me a little bit of joy each day. :)
 
1,374 - PT and sitting arms of steel day 7!

764 - Few minutes of meditation!

Good thing - Well, I got you guys making me happy, so I can't complain <3

Cooper status - Fluff boy has a suggestion for you. Why not go to a farmers market sometime soon? Given how fricky trade is right now, we should focus on promoting local economies and helping each other out! Plus, you can find neat things there, such as dog treats (for Cooper) (okay and Shelby, Cooper said he can share them with Shelby) (but you could also buy one bag for him and one for Shelby and you're giving the economy more support by buying more things)

YOOOOOOOOOOOO thank you guys so much! And happy birthday to @Nyther, too!

1,375 - PT stuff, arms of steel seated day 8! And those 50 squats lmao

765 - Few minutes in!

AND THEN I STOPPED HERE AND FORGOT TO POST LOL BUT COOPER WAS HAPPY TO SEE ME HOME ON MY BIRTHDAY WHADDUP

1,376 - PT stuff, arms of steel seated day 9!

766 - Few minutes of meditation!

Good thing - AW MAN I'M AT IT AGAIN. Remember last year how I was going nuts filling out my Pokedex for Alpha Sapphire/X? ... Yeah. We're gonna fill out the 'dex for Sword. I'm gonna need y'alls help tho - Last year when I did this, I'd do a workout for getting a new one. And I need ideas. 'cause remember, my shoulder still hates me for being alive, and my back still hurts lol. I NEED SOMETHING GENTLE. HELP.

Cooper status - DUDE I TOOK HIM OUT TO GO POTTY TONIGHT AND HE WAS FIENDING FOR THE SNOW. I had to pull him away from eating it. It was getting nuts.
 
Ooh, I like the leg raises idea! 2-5 front, side, and back leg raises for each leg per pokemon?
I don't know how often you do leg raises or catch pokemon xD
If it's only one or two a day, you could challenge yourself to do 10 leg raises per leg! But if you're expecting 10+ catches, that might get a bit excessive xD
If you expect to catch loads per day, I would suggest having exercises you can alternate.
Leg raises for the first, squats & calf raises for the second, leg raises for the third, etc.
 
Bearing in mind that, when you talk about Pokemon, the sum total of my understanding is: "I think f1sh is talking about a video game," my suggestion is to look at these workouts:







cross out any exercises that your PT said you should not be doing right now, and then choose a selection from what's left.
 
@Mamatigerj I did! Thank you dear <3

Phew, these are all so good! I think I'll switch 'em up day by day, yeah. I did calf raises today - Caught 11 mons, but one was legendary, so I did 50 calf raises for that bad boy.

1,377 - PT stuff, 150 calf raises, seated arms of steel day 10!

767 - Few minutes in!

Good thing - Finally. Friday. Anyone ready to FOOKIN SLEEP?

Cooper status - Boof boy is boofing at the wind right now. I'm sure this will be instrumental in making it stop.
 
1,378 - 13 new mons! So, I did 130 calf raises, then stared into the abyss realizing there was still more in the day, so I just did the back pain relief workout that Laura posted, then my PT stuff.

My shoulderblade still tingles.

I am angry lol OH HEY THIS IS MY 1000TH POST THO ON THIS ACCOUNT

768 - Few minutes in!

Good thing - Got some tax stuff done today and crocheted a lot. Now I need to keep crocheting. Forever. Oh my God someone please give me more time in my week to yarn.

Cooper status - Boof boy is still boofing at the wind. It'll be gone. Eventually.
 
1,379 - 9 new mons but I rounded up to 10 for 100 calf raises, PT stuff, the arms of steel seated thing, and the back pain relief workout!

769 - Few minutes in!

Good thing - Yay more crocheting done! But man, if I could have the powers of any fictional character, it'd be Robin from One Piece. I could get so much done with multiple arms.

Cooper status - Gentle boy boofed all the wind away. So talented. What a good, brave boy.
