My youngest daughter and I sweated it out on the elliptical for 5 miles. Then did some abs and stretching. It was nice to have company at the gym.

Two steps forward... one back :( Took my youngest to the cornea specialist after work last night and she has lost a bit of vision. The inflamation is not undercontrol... so new drops again. These ones are a bit scary because they are steriods. The problem is that they can either help with the inflamation... or make the virus come back. I go see my NP doc in a week. I will have her do a perscription for blood work of my daughter, then have my daughter see her. Maybe there is something that can help that way.

Daughter and I went to the gym after the eye appointment. Did a bit on the elliptical and then lots of stretching... hamstrings are very vary tight!

There won't be any gym time today :( I have a sister date planned with my sisters LOL. We will be making books. I will try to post some pictures on my blog later.

So, my plan is to test drive my knee on May 4th, and I was thinking since my daughter has been going to the gym with me I might be able to get her to start running a bit, since I need to start out slow, it's a great apportunity to have her start too. But there is one thing that I'm hoping someone can help me with. My daughter is a 30DDD/E!! Yep can you believe it!! Where on earth can you get a good/comfortable sports bra for someone that size. The one she wears now, would not hold up to running, it is just doing minimal help now. As you can see because of this question I personally don't have this problem, she can thank genetics and her father's side for this. LOL Anyway if someone has any ideas I would appriciate it

Quick night at the gym before I had to go to a nurtition class that I had wanted to attend. Pretty good class, but I'm hoping next time it will be more on practical application more then the education of why you should do it. I understand the whys I just would like more help with stratigies and methods to implement and get the family on board also.

5.4 on the elliptical, 5 at a high intensity then .4 cool down. Lots of plank and side planks, until my arms were shaky then abs.

3 miles on the elliptical, then body pump class. It's been forever since I have taken this class and it showed! My whole body was shaky by the time I finished. The lung and squat tracks bugged my knee a little bit, but not too bad. Today was the first time I could stretch my quad by holding my foot to my but and have my foot touch, so I'm getting more mobility back in my knee!
