Jenscats Road to Recovery Log

[jenscats5]

OK.........did a little thinking today....remembered my conversation with Bruce last nite about his show 7/15 - he still wants me to hand out tropies provided I can 1) wear a dress/skirt 2)wear heels 3) not wear the brace (my goal) and he wants me to possibly be a "ring card" girl - walk out with a big card (like in boxing) saying the name of the class coming out - kind of cheesy? But, it's an idea he may implement.....

So tomorrow it's back to cutting with my next cheat DAY being on 6/25 for the 1x a year Taste of Wilmington....

 

[alex2678]

Jen the ring card girl. I like it.

How long before the brace comes off?

 

[jenscats5]

Jen the ring card girl. I like it.

How long before the brace comes off?

I know really.....never have seen ring cards at a BB show.....

I see my Dr. next Friday so I'll see what he says......although I can't wear it now cuz of the blister....

 

[alex2678]

Well I hope he gives you some good news. I'm sure you'll be fully healed and back on stage in no time.

Just read this.. To cute!!! How's your neck?

Actually it's fine now.....was able to prevent lock-neck from happening (sometimes it gets so pinched that I can't move my head), got hubby to run the massager on it & also to press on the knot a lot & it was gone by the next day....whew!! Usually happens after back day or shoulder day & tonite is back day!!

Make sure you heat/ice, and do that stretch to help prevent it... Glad it went away!

Thank you Treil!! I will do that....

WW - guess I'd have to hire someone, huh??

 

[badgergrl]

Hey Jen
I think cutting now is a good decision. That way you'll be able to see what you really want to add when you do start your bulking phase. Plus, it's summer, and you probably want to be a little leaner now.
Hope your leg heals real soon...enough is enough!

They have about 6g of fiber per muffin, some protein and various vitamins/minerals.....You can find them in the freezer section of the grocery store around where the waffles are......

Hi hun! Hope you have a great day

 

[jenscats5]

Hmmmm are they worth the 100 cals??

They are a tad dry.....but the chocolate IMO is good - plus they have a good amount of fiber and are a quick thing to eat, like in the morning, for breakfast when I don't have time to make oatmeal...... plus they are better than cake if you need a chocolate fix.....

 

[sbt2082]

Thought this was cute... especially since you're always cooking and dishing out new recipes

(and hopefully it wasn't on your side or stomach, that way shoulder will get better )

OMG I slept sooooooooo good!! If any of you ladies didn't sleep, I guess I captured Mr. Sandman & held him down......I did wake up & caught myself on my stomach & made myself turn over..... Also, last nite I got my husband to press on the knot very hard - which made it "crunch" so to speak, so this morning it's a little stiff & sore but not like it was.......when he was pressing on it - my neck & arm went numb....eek!

Are you right handed? Do you drive a stick shift?

I have a friend with a 'calf issue' ... blames the stick shift (on the car... )

Yes, I'm right-handed, but no stick shift..... should've measured before I started doing the 21s but I'm curious to see if they'll add any size on my biceps.....

Hey Jen, I've been away from the site for a while, how's the recovery on that knee going?

 

[*Bunny*]

3 weeks! ...


You are doing great .. enjoy tomorrow .. Bunny wants a full report ...

 

[jenscats5]

Hey Jen, I've been away from the site for a while, how's the recovery on that knee going?

It's going pretty well..... Hyperextension isn't consistent at all - I've been ranging between 0 & -2 degrees, but the bend has been pretty good.....It will be 3 months post-op on July 4th and once I reach 80% strength in my right leg as compared to my left, my Dr. said I can do whatever I want & PT said I'd be released to work on my own.....

 

[sbt2082]

Hey there hun!!! HOpe you enjoy some YUMMMY food DOn't forget the pics

 

[jenscats5]

3 weeks! ...

Yayyyy for 3 weeks!! Does it count that I sampled 2 beers at the festival?? They were about the size of 1/2 a dixie cup.....I don't think that "counts."

Well, lessee - it rained all day, but we walked down anyway....Put my hair up in a ball cap & took umbrellas. Got 4lbs of FREE coffee, lots of free chips, 4 free cans of sodas & some free Fruit & Yogurt breakfast bars - all of which we brought home.

I bought 2 strips of coupons with which to feast upon. Got: 2 Fondue samples dessert things (small cup of chocolate with 1 marshmallow, 1 brownie bite & 2 strawberry slices), a small slice of Strawberry cream cake, an individual cheesecake, a cup of ice cream, a spicy smoked sausage on a roll, a piece of chicken on a roll, some gnocchi, a couple of meatballs, and some shrimp risotto. I got full very early so used 2 tix to buy a bottle of water......

 

[jenscats5]

Aaaaaaand we proceeded to snack on all the crap we brought home - I think I ate about 4-5 of those Tastykake bars alone..... *urp*

BIG TIME carb heavy day today.....feeling sleepy....4 Sesamax down for the day....

 

[sbt2082]

Still waiting patiently for all those pics Remember... keeping with the trend
