Day 169 - Session

Well, this morning was a pretty jumpy start once again.  I rolled out of bed at 9am and almost didn't make it into my session today.  My back was so sore and my legs as well were a little tender.  I decided that maybe I would just wait a little bit and see how I felt.  I had my breakfast, went upstairs, and by the time I had my shower I was a little bit better.  I figured I had better let Jeremy know that I was pretty sore this morning to see what he could do for me.

At 10:15 I finally made my way to the gym and got on the treadmill to do my warm up.  Jeremy came and got me and then asked me why I was so happy this morning.  I told him that I have been having a really good time at the new job and that I was just generally happy.

We started out doing 12 bench presses with the 10 lb dumbells and then I had to do 10 bicep curls while standing on one leg.  For someone that has no balance control it took me some time to complete this task but, I did it.  He had me do the stairs three times and then come back for another round.  He then went over and got a mat and we did a couple of stretches.  He had me lay on the floor and then he took my right knee and pulled it over the left leg while holding my shoulders to the floor.  After he did the other side he lifted my one foot straight up to stretch the hamstring and pushed into me and then while holding that he had me bend my knee slightly to help with the lower back as well.  He then had me go for a little walk and we did some weight lifting and then alternate dumbell lifts.  I then had to do the stairs 3 more times and then we did some shoulder stretches and calf stretches.  Maybe there were a few other things in there too but, as it is so late, I just can't remember what it was that we did.

For my cool down I wound up walking to the bus and when it didn't come in 10 min I just continued on my walk home.  I also walked to work today as well so I have already accomplished 1 hour of my 2 hour homework.  Yay me!  I was also told that I must do at least 10 min of core every day until our session Monday at 10am.  Before I go to bed I am planning on doing my core and also at least 5 of the 8 stretches that Jeremy has taught me.  Hopefully it will make me feel good before bed as I am in a little bit of pain at the moment from work.

I will be going to the gym tomorrow for a little bit and then when I get home, relaxation time until Sunday morning.  :)
