@Sherrie Carroll Hi Sherrie! I remember meeting you at Wellness Ween a few years ago! I did not start therapy until March, but it cost $200 every time I went and she wanted me going 2x a week so my husband said stop. So I ChatGPT my mri and xray results and started doing those exercises as well as what I had been already given. I started real physical therapy 3 weeks ago and have improved quite a bit that I am able to go upstairs more easily than before. I can tell I am improving. I also have learned modifications so I don’t make my spondy in my back worse. I have learned I have spondylolisthesis in my back, tear in my hip labrum and TFL so some exercises for one conflict with another so he has been so good to know what is best for me. I wish I could say I did continue with my upper body, but I did not. But I have started back now that I feel I am more pain free and getting stronger. I have been doing aqua fitness and tai chi which does involve upper body and resistance. Thanks so much for reaching out! Will you be at Momentum?

@Sherrie Carroll I understand! They waited so long to plan and announce this event I’m sure it’s going to affect so many ladies’ schedules. Several friends have gone to Upper peninsula of Michigan recently so I’m sure you’re going to have a wonderful time! I’ll be at Momentum but not Wellness week

@Sherrie Carroll I wish I had read about pause and listen before last night, but I also feel weird cutting a piece of dessert for everyone and then not having any when the ladies are carrying them out to everyone and they are waiting for me to take the first bite. But I also have to say I can’t feel guilty. We were having a wonderful evening of Christian fellowship with new friends just getting to know each other. Now I have to remember today and tomorrow are new days and I don’t have to continue.

@Sherrie Carroll Yes!! So true calories on the weekend still count and met even count more!! Eek! Because I find them harder to track!

Yes! My fresh start started yesterday when I saw the scale. Since I was injured I put some weight back on that I had lost bc I was not able to exercise at the level at which I had been exercising.

Looking forward to this reset and Momentum in September!
