Filling Out


Today I had my PT appointment.  I had a "catch" in my lower back.  Since I was worried about going to the chiropractor because I thought it might adversely affect my hip joint healing, I asked my PT to use her elbows and take care of it.  As I expected, she hurt me with her elbows and completely took care of the pain in my back.  Usual practice is that after she works me over she checks my gate by making me walk.  Today she exclaimed, "... and you're filling out your pants."  During my visit earlier in the month I told her that I was upset by the fact that I work out all the time yet am still jiggly like Jello.  Then today she says that I'm filling out my pants.  Oh my!  My feelings were hurt, and my face must have shown this.  It seems she was speaking of my butt.  We've been working on getting my "glutes to fire" through this entire process.  My glutes are getting stronger and filling out my pants.  It's her way of saying my butt is firming up which would have been a bit more gentle.  The good news is that I am getting stronger, and I have permission to take a full swing when I play golf tomorrow.

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
