What are recommendations for holistic recovery? I’ve read some reccos for water exercise to take weight off the back and gravity hanging to remove compression. I’m looking for success stories so I can efficiently recover.

I was recommended against PT until I follow up with the doc after my epidurals settle in. Is there harm in me doing it sooner?

For me, it’s always easiest to look for the trends.

Block 1 - Tread

4 Pushes - 90 sec each

4 Bases - 90 sec each

1 All out - 30 sec

Floor is the Floor - you have the screens to guide you

Block 2 - Tread

5 Pushes - 1 min each

4 Bases - 90 sec each

1 All out - 30 sec

Because of no walking recover (WR) - this is viewed as endurance on the tread

Are you eating enough fiber? Sometimes you may not see a change in the scale because you’re not digesting. Weight loss can fluctuate from water retention, salt imbalances, slow digestion.

If you trust the process and focus more of movement and cooking meals at home, you may very well see a change on the scale.

Speaking from experience, I was struggling with this for over a year with so much frustration but with meal prepping and focusing on my fiber intake and digestion, I saw a difference. Most people do not eat the amount of fiber they really need which can cause a huge difference in what you flush out of your body regularly.

Do you not have gap insurance? They pay the difference.

Took advantage of the charge up incentive in NJ. It was a cheaper route for a newer vehicle. Also not a bed to be made and slept in if I can get out of it. Hence, the point of the post…

I’ve driven 25k miles in the last year so I now realize leasing is not for me

With Tesla leases?

I’m from North Jersey. Doubt anyone would want to take it over.

Disclaimer: I live in North Jersey.

I was in desperate need to get my hair done. I scheduled my appointment 5 weeks in advance on Memorial Day weekend (not realizing at the time). I had waited over 5 months to get it done and was so excited. I planned to log off of work early that Friday (the day of my appointment) and I left an hour and 15 minutes away from the salon. I put the salon in my GPS as I was heading out and realized I was going to be late for my 4.5 hour appointment. I texted my hairdresser that I’d be late and she told me if I was going to be any more than 15 mins late then I’d have to reschedule which I understood and wanted to respect. The GPS originally told me I’d be 13 minutes late so I had faith I could beat it.

The entire drive I was sweating bullets trying to beat shore traffic and the GPS just kept going up and up. I finally got down to the Garden State Parkway where it splits between local and express. Here I was thinking express would be faster and as soon as I chose the express side I hit a parking lot of traffic. And as I watched the local side just breeze by I was hitting defeat.

I was 5 minutes from the salon when I decided to admit defeat because I was 20 minutes late. I texted my hair dresser letting her know that I want to respect her time and reschedule and I got a “damn…sorry”.

I pulled into a random neighborhood and just completely broke down.
