He misses my pillowy butt but ok w-out it now. I respect my body so she’s being good to me
Two weeks ago I blogged about my right shoulder pain. Since then I eased off the push-ups to allow it to heal. After 3 hours of exercise yesterday I was worried about that shoulder, my inner groin area (tore some muscles there), my bad left knee and my torn hamstring injuries. I wondered, did I push too hard. So today I got up, felt all parts of my body that worried me - GOOD NEWS! I’m good. My shoulder, groin area, knee and hamstring are all ok. The parts of my body that aches were the muscles used during the exercise. Because I stretched properly and cooled down properly, as I’m always cautious of overdoing it, I am on the road to a good week.
I thought about how much exercise I plan for the next few days. I decided I have to take today off from my workout and let my body recoup. Starting tomorrow, I have 2 to 3 classes per day for 3 or 4 straight days. This will be the only day I get to relax before I started taking off like a racehorse.
I’m always cautious about what I do to my body. I’ve injured myself enough to know when to back off. ie the shoulder pain. 2 weeks into it, it is pain free. Push-ups, will start back on those in a week or two. I did about 100 yesterday; so I know going for 400 again is ok. BECAUSE I have the right form down pact, my shoulders shouldn’t bother me.
TO offset not going to the gym, I have not eaten as much as I did yesterday or the past few days for that matter. Just taking in lots of water,green tea and veggies. 
I can’t wait to get back to my exercise tomorrow. Even one day off gets my spirit down a little. Sunday is one of my favorite days. I’m going there 1 1/2 early to get weights in then my kickboxing class. Nothing like a good weight and cardio routine to start off the new week.
My personal formula for preventing injuries, keep old injuries at bay - proper food, water before exercising, a good warm-up and cool down routine so my muscles don’t hate me for torturing it. I thought 3 hours yesterday would be pushing it. BUT my body says, it’s ok. As long as you respect me - I will serve you right.
Crazy, I’m talking to my own body.
Oh, today Rod said the nicest thing before he left for LA - he said, wow, I can really see you getting smaller hon. I remember when your hands used to be chubby. Now I see all your tiny fingers. This is nice coming from the one person who does not want me to lose a single lb and been fighting it since day one. For him to acknowledge my weight loss feels good. Usually it’s ahhh, you lost your ass honey. I miss my pillow.
LOVED TALKING TO YOU JOURNI!!! We woke Rod up but that’s ok hon!

9:30 am update - Did my kickboxing class. My honey kept me up all night. There was no way I can get up at 4 eat, then leave for the gym at 6. So I got there for the cardio part only.
Will go back later to do weights.
Great job with the food and taking a rest day. Kick some butt tomorrow. No pun intended.
Thanks Terry! Will do.
I am new to this website. I looked at your profile. Your success is motivating me to do it too. Thank you!
I try again.

You are welcome. Keep coming back and you will succeed!
Glad to hear your body is being good to ya…and you are being good to your body. A win~win situation, right??!
How nice to get a compliment from your man!!
Hope you are having a good night!
Hey hon, it is a win win situation.
He’s not my number one weight loss fan so anything nice I’ll take.
Have a good night!
Congrats on the compliment! I love it when I get em from my man cuz he is much the same and says I don’t need to lose any weight.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T!
Great job Nancy! We do learn if we listen to our bodies…just sometimes dont understand the language it is speaking 
That’s right April. Yet we do right?
He doesn’t like to give me praises for losing weight so anything is nice.
Debbie - that’s true!
Oh, just read your blog and loved it.
Awwww…how sweet of him to say something!! ^_^ I am sorry to hear you have been in pain lately!! Feel better and remember to rest every once and while!! You are the workout queen! I am on my knees with envy! lol
Great Progress.
Hey Danielle, so glad you are up and running again. Aches and pains are part of the process.
Just have to work around it.
You are very smart when it come to excersize I hope that in time I begin to take in so much and gain that much knowledge.
In regard to your comment asking me if I was sore… yes my calves are killing me it hurts to walk. I want to go to the gym and get on the treadmill and run so I’m going to have to run through the pain.
Love to hear that your hands loose weight to cause I look like I have man hands so I can’t wait to see little fingers too lol
Nancy,
Congratulations on the notice from Rodney. Like you, my hubby has been somewhat resistant to my weight loss. While he didn’t like me as big as I was when I started, except for my tummy, he loves where I am now. Everytime I say I want to lose more weight, he whines. Keep up the good work and you will completely win him over before you know it.
Melissa
