Yesterday was a good day .
Thought I’d post a more positive post for a change.

In the morning, Hubby and I went for a walk on the beach (about 5 minutes from our home)

Then we drove to the lake and soaked in the sun and swam for a couple hours.

On the way back we went to “Elk falls” and walked along the trails down to the falls - but didn’t swim there.

In the evening my friend and I went out to a restaurant and sat in the outdoor patio and ate dinner.

Today - have a dental appt! Yuk

What do you have planned for today?

That sounds amazing 😊 I would be at the beach almost every day if it was that close.

It's night over here, but tomorrow I will learn some more programming until lunch. Then it's either a bike ride with my girlfriend or go for a longer forest walk by myself. Some errands and a workout at home, and finish the day with some wine with a friend in another country over video-chat.

Girlie, that sounds like a perfect day to me. Hoping that all of us on here get some calm, clear headed days like this!

Sounds like you have a great day planned, Deep_sleep!

If I’m at the beach in the next t few days - hopefully I will time it with low tide and take a photo and post it on this thread.

Good for you! Here's to better days for everyone if you are just starting this journey or are many years into it.

Sounds like yesterday was the perfect day girlie.

I did my hardest upper body workout in years Tuesday night and I didnt tighten up days after ...NUCCA must finally be making a difference in "head alignment" as its hold up now.

I'm happy that it cooled down and we got some rain too.

but...

Was going to go mnt biking or canoeing after work till Canadian fire smoke blew in across the boarder (praying for rain up there my northern neighbors), guess i'll catch up on some inside "couch time" instead. Smells slightly smoky inside with AC too (!).

Cooler for the next week which we need. smile

I just had a NUCCA tune up with my Doc.
I am on an 8 week schedule and I’m just “out” a little bit each time I go .

The fires are crazy up here - like nothing I’ve seen before.
Record breaking temps as well - 40 degrees Celsius we had for a few days. (104 F)
That heat isn’t helping with all our forest fires!!

Its a long haul for some of us - gotta keep at it!

I’m just going to enjoy that you enjoyed your day. Great to see.

It sure is a long haul - I hope I continue to improve and my last few symptoms go and never come back
Not sure I could handle a relapse.

Nice. What kind of workout did you do? I miss lifting heavy weights and only have 2 small dumbells at home. I can still push myself at the outdoor gym, but it's still different compared to heavy squats, deadlifts, bench press, etc.

Everything a modern well equipped membership gym has; freewights + machines,... pull ups too.. Ive been working out my shoulders in all directions, and some things that the "muscle heads" rarely do. Of course the weight I use is less (but more than the average Joe), I get more "directional" variety. This has taken years to get where I am. I dont do dead lifts or other spine / compression strenuous stuff with the squat racks. Not worth the spine or SI joint risks once you've had injuries there.

It's great that you can do that with old injuries 😊 I hope to get back to the gym sometime next year. It's so cold during the winter at the outdoor gym….

Sigh - please tell that to my husband!

I do lumbar extensions while holding a little extra weight on the lumbar 45 degree bench which help with low back strength. For legs I'd rather do leg presses vs squats, so much safer. Light squats serve a propose, heavy ones...really serve no point.

Girlie,

So glad to hear you had such a great day! That sounds wonderful. Sometimes a really good day can make up for a lot of bad ones.😌

So true!

I’m trying to enjoy the summer while the weather is nice here.
Although I saw the evening news tonight and we’re having another heat wave coming our way.

People died from the last one. sad
