Yoga and Cycling = Perfect Sunday
Double yesterday – #Yoga & #Cycling. And I was in the bathroom, so obligatory bathroom selfie – just ’cause. And I clearly ran out of the house fast!

#Just5Minutes – Hotel Gym Workout
I was graciously asked to speak at the West Virginia EDS Support group meeting. Because the support group meeting helped in the evening and I knew that we wouldn’t get out until a bit later, and because night driving is hard for many reasons, I decided to stay overnight. Staying overnight meant that I either worked out in the hotel gym or in my hotel room — I opted for the gym, even though I did bring my TRX bands and other equipment with me. I did a combo of cardio on the treadmill & eliptical, as well as strength with weights.

#Just5Minutes – Workout in Hotel Gym While Away for My Best Friend’s Wedding
RP from my Instagram Account – #Just5Minutes – Practicing what I preach.

But taking the time to focus and enjoy one of my best friend’s weddings. And of course, making sure to get my workout in no matter what – even in another hotel gym.

Zengo Date with my husband while our little Bub was at a Birthday Party. Done & done! Day 2 in a row! Still waiting for the extra fluid to recede, but it doesn’t happen overnight — that’s for sure. I’ve learned that before.
#Just5Minutes – Zengo Cycle Date with My Husband
There’s something about starting your day, or the weekend, with a great workout — today it was Zengo Cycle. Done and done! Well, except for the doughnuts we promised the kids that we would bring home. Yeah… There went all those calories we burned, but at least my legs are getting stronger. Cycling regularly helps with fluid retention issues in my legs and above my knees — at least, that’s my hope. Below are pics of my knees after paddle boarding on vacation. The problem wasn’t paddleboarding. I am conditioned enough to handle paddle boarding, and it’s one of my favorite outdoor activities — especially paddleboard yoga. However, I guess my body didn’t like me paddleboarding on my knees, and it only made the swelling issue in my legs worse. I had no pain, nothing, but a few family members competed on my knees. So, I took a picture because I couldn’t “see” what they were referring to. I was a bit shocked, alarmed, and a bit concerned — to say the least. No pain. …

#Just5Minutes for Monday, August 29th, 2016
Physical Therapy with Anastasia – I was in a tremendous amount of pain. I felt like I wanted to punch a wall, but she works miracles with manual therapy. I felt a ton better afterwards and it lasted through tonight. This evening I did 20 mins on the spinning bike at home.
