Christin and Chris,

Thank you so much for recovery wishes. I am finally feeling much better. This one seemed to really hang on, and though I didn't get a sick as most people, I felt pretty miserable.

Take care.....

Hi Stephen, I am going to try to read through your log, bt I just wanted to go ahead and say I hope you feel better soon. Seems everyone is catching a bug lately.

Wow. That's some serious shoveling. In Texas, the only thing we shovel that much of is... well, something else. ;)

Good luck with the job search and have a great time with all your houseguests. Merry Christmas!

Re: The Bassman's Log (Steve Lampl)
 

Dang, everyone's shoveling snow except those of us in the Deep South! Sounds, uh, like fun!
Way to get back w/ the program on the diet! I hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday!

Re: The Bassman's Log (Steve Lampl)
 

How's the calf muscle doing? Have you jumped back up on a box lately? I know you have a full house for Christmas! Have a great holiday!

Re: The Bassman's Log (Steve Lampl)
 

Hey Steve! I'm glad to hear your wife is doing okay now! :)

Re: The Bassman's Log (Steve Lampl)
 

One egg? I think the last time I ate a single egg I was probably 3 years old.

If you're full of protein and fat you don't have room for junk. I would suggest dropping grains and sugar all together for a bit and evaluating how you feel.

Re: The Bassman's Log (Steve Lampl)
 

Hi Steve!

Just stopping by to say Happy Holidays to you and yours. I wish you a bunch of happy memories!

I'm with you on the redirecting the diet thing, although I am not sure the holidays really lends itself to that. I'll be struggling right there with you.

Take care and all the best!

Christin,

Thanks! Found out today how poorly I've been eating..........WO sucked!!

We're having a blast up here! [I][B]Lots[/B][/I] of snow much earlier than we're used to up here. Generally we get it AFTER the holidays. Best to you and yours for Christmas too!

Hello, Elizabeth!

Calf feels a lot better, though I don't really know what I did to it......sudden overuse, I guess. No more BJs, lately, but I'm going to try in a few days. I'm thinking that I better learn that just because an exercise is fun and feels good, that I can do an unlimited number of reps. That's probably what caused the calf problem in the first place with jumping rope.

Having a blast with company and new snow! Best to you and yours for the holiday also!

Carla,

Thank you so much! She is doing just fantastically!! As a type II diabetic, it just floored the doctor that he was able to remove Chery's brace after only six weeks. He'll evaluate the shoulder in another two weeks and if all is well, she'll being physical therapy. Her range of motion (she's been doing her own set of careful exercises) is just amazing for such a short recovery time.

Best wishes to you and yours for the holidays!

Hi Chuck,

I think you're pretty much right on the money. A small amount of the good fats (olive oil, etc.) is OK as I understand it. I use no sugar except for my coffee and have recently discovered stevia. I'm trying it as a substitute altogether for sugar.

At any rate, I think I'm paying the price for my poor eating and not having worked out for a couple of weeks.........

Thanks again for the support and recommendations! Merry Christmas!

Hi Lee Ann,

Thank you so much! Yup......the dietary intake the past week or so has been pretty dreadful. I definitely felt my poor eating today and should not have any problem, holidays notwithstanding, getting back on the wagon.

Hi, Chuck! Yup, I remember all too well. What is so amazing is that it seems if one can keep whittling away at it, their "shortcomings" get resolved. My shoulders have been so tight and weak and I have come to realize that my lower lats are also weak. Well.........my lower lats now are sore like they never have been and I really am feeling all those PUs in my shoulders.

I cannot thank you enough for your encouragement and for all the amazing things you post here in your log. You are doing stuff I'd never dream the human body would be capable of. [I][B]Rock on, my friend. Merry Christmas![/B][/I]

Re: The Bassman's Log (Steve Lampl)
 

Snow, snow, snow. What, do you live in the mountains or something? HA! Rest is good, but doing the WOD when sore is not necessarily "bad". I think you're of sufficient age to know the difference though!

Merry Christmas to you and yours as well Steve! Here's to a great 2009!

You are absolutely correct on going ahead and doing the WOD, even if sore. My shoulders, biceps, and lower lats are so sore though, I could barely move at times yesterday. Ibuprofen was my best friend........'Course, my grip was fried too, but I didn't realize that until I tried to horse that snowblower around. You have to hold the auger and drive levers down - - there is no lock. Almost needed another person to pry my hands off the machine........Hey, on the good side, I know my WO paid off. I worked the things that needed work. Now to GTG......

Blessings to you and yours!

Hi Helen,

Boy, you've got me there. Is there a difference? :D

I need to go to the gymnastics links on the CF Main Page and look that up. Whichever I am doing, it sure is efficient. I really feel the lack of flexibility in my shoulders and my poor lower lat strength. My biceps also could use work. Funny how you pray for things, then they all of a sudden fall into place (Yea!! Kips!!). Then you [I][B]"FEEL"[/B][/I] your shortcomings. It's like, "Yup, I [I][B]knew[/B][/I] I needed to work on those areas!!
