Well, it's Saturday! Thank heavens for the weekend. Got the coffee nearby, and I am happy.

So, what's going on? Anyone taking a break frrom studying or work?

Hey-ho! Just got in from doing some running around. Am trying to get motivated here, too, but am tired.

I did Martial Arts for two hours this morning. My daughter & I just returned home from lifting weights at Randolph AFB. There fitness center is better than most civilian gyms.

I went to the gym today too. I go nearly every day which helps to keep me sane even though I'm not able to do much more than cardio yet. Just in case anyone was wondering, I didn't tear my rotator cuff weightlifting in fact, I have never hurt myself working out. It was a big-a** bone spur that father time had given me. Not back to work yet either and won't be until after my July 2nd appointment. It feels like FOREVER. In the meantime, I do PT twice weekly and a million little tasky things that have been put off because I've been too busy- can't say that now...

Hope you all are having a nice weekend. We're seeing the sun today for the first time in three days and it feels great!

Ah well, time to get moving again.

In Soldier's case, it was a rotator tear. Giving him some grief now.

My weight training has been reduced drastically; frequency & amount of weight. I'm very careful when lifting weights. I realize my left shoulder will never be the same as it was before Iraq.

Yeah. "Dead Lifts" can wreak havoc on one's shoulders (Trust Me)

Oh, and you're probably another one I should include, Rob!

Getting some things done around here. Lawn is getting done, as plently of rain is in the forecast. :rolleyes:

Abduction (lateral) movement& flat bench presses are my problem. Deadlifts I don't do anymore but only cause my powerlifting days are long gone. Back in the day I maxed 480 lbs deadlift. However, I've accepted my recent limitations.
