sorry for the delayed response - life has been chaotic lately...but slowly returning to normal
I was on BC for a while but it jacks up blood pressure and I have heart disease in the family so it wasn't a good option for me.
Thanks for the suggestion

thanks for the info Todd, will keep it in mind when looking at increases - and as Boss Man stated - know body

urologist wasn't concerned (labs for him all came back normal) but GP sent me to a Nephrologist to see if we could stop the kidney stones from forming - the guy didn't even have workups in front of him but he wanted to put me on water pills (for the rest of life!!! :wowzer: :shock: )! And he was so...

Sometimes I need to be reminded that it is at pace and it is journey...moving at a snail's pace but I am moving

still a little achy this morning so I will use the time to check out videos to confirm technique (I hadn't thought about that)

I like the increase method (when I can get more reps in) and when I'm back at it I'll give it a try - thanks Boss Man

excellent on the 2 lbs down ! :thumb: The last season (2014) of American Ninja Warriors had some women go farther than any woman has gone in the past - if they are talking about Kacy Catanzaro you're watching season 2014- Some really strong people (men and women!) on that program - very inspirationa...

I had slowly progressed from no weights 1set, to no weights 2sets, to 3 lbs on...

P.S.I totally relate to the calling couch - add a husband, a heavy afghan and a fire (in the fireplace) and there is no way I can resist!

Thanks Boss Man - slow and steady

I am addicted to American Ninja Warriors! It is amazing what they can do! They do a lot of reruns - what year competition are you watching (I don't want to give away anything that you might not have seen yet)? Yay for the lessening back pain and -1 lb!!! Being the DD is a great idea - so many empty ...
