Wait till Thursday and then you can watch Beauty and Geek! That cracks me up every time. Someone that travels with 5 Rubix Cubes has a few bolts loose. Then again I travel with a suitcase full of protein and supplementsSassy69 said:If I can't stand American Idol anymore, I'm off to bed in a few minutes
LMAO ... I brought EVERYTHING on my cruise, it was hilarious to see the line of pills/powder etc along the window base.treilin said:Wait till Thursday and then you can watch Beauty and Geek!

For Sassy's show last year in ATL, I had problems with them "losing" two suitcases, of course the ones with the supps in them ... Ugh, was I furious. If people didn't travel with so much shit I would've been able to carry on ... blah blah blah lessoned learned.

What a pain - between a job where somehow all the important discussions happen while you are standing in the doorway on your way out & my allergies that are going nutzo...
Anyway, thx to some very uplifting discussions w/ some valued friends, I had a great reset of mind & intention this weekend. Trained great on Sunday - upper body (can't remember all the stuff) and then shot hoops for 1 1/2 hrs. Got my ass kicked in a game of 2 on 2 -- haven't actually done that since about 1989. EGAD.
So yesterday I got up & did 30 min AM cardio, except my Precor's resistance setting wasn't' working. I was freaked out that it was broken. Then a friend suggested I reboot the whole machine (i.e. unplug, replug it) -- Worked like a charm! Skipped back workout because I had a 30 min sneezing fit all the way home from work & just felt exhausted. So catching up to today:

I know you say you have to watch your back that's the only reason I am bringing this up. My friend here at work was doing ab crunches on the ball and actually pinched a nerve in her back and had to have surgery .Sassy69 said:
I never thought that was possible.. but I guess someone always has to do the impossible

I've been doing "ball crunches" - weighted via cable / pulley or otherwise. The ones above are done more like reverse crunches where you put the ball under your legs & hold it w/ your legs so it forces a certain motion - I suppose mostly it forces you to not use the momentum of pulliing your legs / hip flexors. I'd say the ball has helped me alot w/ support of my lower back tho. No idea how you pinch your back on it - I guess you could if you were pulling on your neck (hands behind your head position) or if you hyperextended or something. Bummer.
