[MaryStella]

This is the last shoulder workout I will be posted for awhile. I got the results of my MRI today and I have three tears in my shoulder. Labrum and Supraspinatus tendon. I also have Osteophytes extending from the bone. Probably as a result of these injuries I also have a cyst, bursitius, tendinitis/tendinosis and muscle sprains. Still need to ice and rehab as much as I can so I can go into the surgery strong. I have a surgical consult setup for April 29th. That was the earliest I can get one. I am going to obviously to exclude any upper body work that uses my shoulder which is pretty much everything. Although if anyone can think of upperbody work I can still do PLEASE let me know. Going to still do as much lower body as I can as well as core. Not going to let this get me down. I will do more running and biking. Going to look online for some local road races and possibly enter those to keep myself going. I have not road raced in a couple of years at this point but I still run for training so I would be in shape enough to just start doing it, more for the experience than for actual competition. I was very upset for several hours today about my shoulder. I am trying to focus on what I can do and not what I am unable to do right now.

 

I limited the weight on these because of my shoulder. Obviously I did this workout before I get my MRI results.

This is rehab work that I will continue to do daily before surgery.

 

Legs are still smoked from all of the walking lunges yesterday, and I am pretty emotionally drained after the bad news today so I am going to take it easy tonight and get back at it tomorrow.

[joelk]

I'm sorry to hear about the injury. Like you said, just focus on what you can do and not on what you can't.

I know it is hard but you'll get back to it stronger than before.

[Tasha]

I'm praying for a Speedy recovery girl friend !

 

If you need someone to talk to, feel free to msg me anytime <3

[MaryStella]

Joelk - If you have any recommendations for lifting I can do without using my shoulder I was love to hear from you. I really want to keep working hard until the actual surgery so that I can do in as strong as possible and hopefully not lose too much while I need keep the shoulder immoblized immediately after surgery. I will keep running, biking, lower body lifting then.

 

Tasha - Thanks I am going to PM.

4.11.9

Crossfit Workout of the day

 

3 rounds for time of:

Row 500 meters

21 Burpees

Run 400 meters

 

Time 16:02

 

I think I could have had a slightly better time had I not actually fallen. As soon as I was done running my first 400 meters I accidently stepped onto my friends treadmill near me that was still running and I totally wiped out so I lost a little time there but this was a hard one for sure. Legs feel pretty unstable starting to run coming off the burpees every round.

 

Face Pulls

30 X 15

35 X 15

40 X 15 x 3

 

Shoulder Stability Circuit - 5 lb Dbs - V raises, Rear Delt Raises, Scapular pushups.

 

5 minutes on bike. - just tested this out as it might be the only cardio I can do right after surgery as my shoulder will have to be immobilized so even running might be out. But my legs were smoked from the CF WOD so I though I would save this for another day.

 

SuperABset - 4X

Ball Situps - 25

V raises w ball - 25 - these were rough to get through!

 

Ball Side Situps 15, 25

[Tasha]

You rock Mary !!!!

Don't ever feel like you don't !!

 

Go for it girl, I just woke up from a nap. Thanks for your nice message on FB.

I'll write you back as soon as I get back from the gym<3

 

Again if you need anything please don't hesitate to talk to me about anything..

I know this may be hard for you to do right now. BUT TAKE IT EASY !

Don't let anyone else influence you or tell you what you should be doing.

Listen to yourself and what your doctor suggests.

Screw everyone else ! Sorry

[MaryStella]

tasha thanks for your help. I really appreciate it! An outside opinion can be so helpful.

 

4.12.9

 

Shoulder Stability Circuit - V Raises, Rear Delt Raises, Scapular Pushups 3 X 15 - I wonder how long it is going to be before this isn't a part of my daily routine. I've been dealing with this shoulder issue for so long and i will probably have to do this as rehab after the surgery too.

[joelk]

I'm stumped as to what else you can do for your shoulders that you aren't already doing. Have been talking about it with other trainers I know and the general consensus is that you should rest it. You're a very determined person though so just work with whatever range of motion you have with minimal weights. Sorry it is not anything you aren't doing already but I wouldn't want to recommend anything that could cause further injury to you.

Keep up the training though, you are a machine

[MaryStella]

Thanks Joel for thinking about this for me! Your right with your recommendation. I am not completely resting it because I want to go into the surgery strong so I don't lose too much while it has to be immoblilzed after surgery but my focus is mostly on just rehab stuff for now.

4.14.9

Didn't feel well all day today, sneezing, coughing, headache, tired. Drinking tea and taking a rest day. I haven't had one in a really long time so I don't feel too bad about it. It's been a stressful week. I told my kickboxing trainer I am not coming back and that caused some drama. Work has been busy and my parents are having some serious health problems. I hope I am well enough to get back to the gym tomorrow.

[joelk]

You've got the flu.... it sucks ha?

I'm sorry to hear about your parents.

Hope you feel better ASAP

[MaryStella]

Thanks Joel if it weren't for the logistics issue I'd say you gave it to me. weren't u just sick?

 

4.17.9

Had several rest days (which my shoulder is loving but the rest of me is hating). Been sick all week, dragged myself to the dr. today and I have a sinus infection and an ear infection. Normally I don't take drugs but the constant fever and sickness has made me give in. started on some meds today and hopefully will be better in a few days. Don't really have anything to post workout wise unfortunately.

[lobsteriffic]

Hope you're feeling better soon.

[joelk]

Thanks Joel if it weren't for the logistics issue I'd say you gave it to me. weren't u just sick?

 

Computer virus?

Yeah I was but am better now.

Hope you feel better soon

[vivalasvegans]

How you feeling, MS? Did your shoulder end up with a net benefit from you being sick and completely resting? I bet you're gonna get back to workouts stronger than ever.

[MaryStella]

Thanks for all of the healing vibes everyone. They mean a lot to me! I am STILL sick! I can't stand it. I already called off from work for tomorrow. I am pretty much sleeping the day and night away. I do feel a bit better today but not enough to actually function normally. Hopefully soon. My shoulder feels better in the sense that it doesn't hurt as much but it still isn't useful to me. My tears are not the kind of tears that will heal they need to be surgically repaired. But all of this extra "rest" is probably good for some of my less serious nagging type issues. I really hope to get back at it soon. I am just so not myself the last few days.

[aluck]

Keep your chin up and dont let it get to you. My thoughts are with ya chica.

[MaryStella]

Thanks so much! It means a lot to me. I am STILL sick. I've had a fever now for over a week. I called my dr. again today. Just waiting to hear back from. Hoping to get better soon. I've been sick for so long now it seems. I haven't worked out for so long now I am going to forget how.

[aluck]

You will not!!! Instead you are going to come back with a renewed interest and energy and focus!!! use this time to focus on diet, general overall health, family, friends, etc... and when you come back have a rigid plan and stick to it... Just allow for some loss of strength and endurance. Dont be scared of it, look forward to the challenge. Wishing ya well.
