MaryStella Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 @RC - I am def putting VEGA Sport on my new order. I put it on my last one but they didn;t ship it to me. so sad!

vivalasvegans Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I tweaked my back doing sit ups the other day too, sorry to hear that. I had to even get up in the middle of the night and do some stretches till the pain eased enough so I could get back to sleep. It worked though. Take it easy, and let that thing heal up.

MaryStella Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 9.3.9 I took the last two days off from training to rest my back. The first day I couldn't lift my right leg and the second day it just hurt to. Today it was better but still not 100 percent but I wanted to get some work it and see how it felt. It went ok. Going to ice my back and my shoulder down now. I started shoulder rehab today. I had an appt with the surgeon yesterday and he said I don't have the wear the sling anymore! WHOO HOO! Rehab was really light today mostly just band and light weight work. Looking forward to going back tomorrow and hopefully getting more exercises to do. Mostly my shoulder just feels restricted now more than actual pain. It is weak and needs to get working! I have rehab for six weeks and then I should be cleared. My range of motion is good though so I'm happy about that. tofu press - is a nice little contraption. Makes it easier and cleaner to press tofu but obviously not necessary but I do like it. ran 1 mile - 7:28ran 1 mile - 7:54ran 1 mile - 7:58 Felt good to run without that sling on. My cardio is not what it was before the surgery but I hope to get a lot of running in soon to get back into it. I took a break in between each mile to really stretch out my back. I didn't really go all out on the miles because of my back and because this is the first time I really arm swinging my shoulder around. Curious to see how it will feel tomorrow. I forgot to log my meals the last couple of days so I forgot what they were by now but the usual vega, vega bars, smoothie. todays food:sprouted grain bagelVEGA WFO w/ Coconut water4 VEGA vibrancy bars (spread through the day - Addicted!)Tempeh BaconSteamed BroccoliTVP, onions, peppers, Garlic, Tomatoes & 2 Ezekiel wraps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryStella Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 9.4.9 30 minutes stepmill - 147 floors - 3.07 milestook a little easy here today because of the back issue which finally seems to really be going away Did more shouler stuff in rehab - used the arm bike for a warm up did 2+ miles on that. Then in addition to resistance band work (which I am not fond of but I understand why I need to do it) I did modified pushups and pullups. Light biceps curls and rows. Can't wait to get some real work in. My biggest restriction right now is getting my arm behind my back. I have a long way to go with that. I really like my therapist though which is a plus. sprouted grain bagelvega wfo w/ coconut water3 vega vibrancy barsleftover tvp mixture from yesterdayvega wfo w/ coconut water and flaxmoroccan carrots and cornjamaician jerk tempeh nuggets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
