Ug... 2 steps forward, 1 back

April 1, 2008

Well, after the great breakthrough last week, I was so busy this weekend I

didn't keep up all my exercises and stretching and didn't get on the bike at

all... I THOUGHT I'd maintained the progress, but alas, I've backslid. Back

down to 95 degrees today in PT.

So I'm faced with a decision... I *was* going to head back to the office

tomorrow... I've been working from home, my boss is fine with me working

from home as long as I need to, so that's not an issue... BUT. I'm going

stir crazy. My hubby and kids are driving me nuts and I need adult

conversation that isn't centered around my husband's stress (not going into

specifics, but he's stressed out, and I'm sick of being here for it 24/7).

I can finally drive again, there's no real reason for me to be here vs.

there.

EXCEPT. With this new backsliding, I'm thinking I should set my watch to

beep every couple of hours and go do 10 minutes on the bike and stretch it

out good, and push for more ROM. I can't do that at the office. All I

could do there is some walking and some stretching.

But then part of me wonders if that wouldn't be overkill anyway, and I just

need to get up early, do 15-20 on the bike in the morning, stretch it out

good... then stretch it periodically through the day and then do 15-20 on

the bike every evening and that be enough.

Any thoughts from those who've done this before?

Thanks,

Meg.
