I am dutifully walking each day. Those Puma pants are super, warm in any weather. Today I had to add head gear...well, the good thing about Sweden is that it is not crowded, you already guessed why, didn't you? Then you also find plenty of blond Ingas around but yes, you're right only one Pixie, LOL.

Too late, guys. I've already bought bought my ticket and picked up pink, red, and black lace undies at Victoria's Secret to complement her white ones.

sounds like Stockholm is an upcoming place for a private pink party bash

I gotta work on some muscle definition , hehe but the cardio I'm confined to won't do it.
Today they stole an hour of daylight in the afternoon by changing the time again...grrr...now it's pitch black before 5pm!
Am I going to walk with flash light? PT gym is not the option in this case, they close at 4 pm. Stationary bike is left. I am in a dangerous spot right now because I need to add more sugar for brain and I've got myself into the creative writing (thousand words a day minimum) and I do not want to gain what I lost...wish me luck and pray for miracles.
I keep you posted.

PP:

Those sound like some real challenges you are facing, between the sitting and writing, need for more sugar, injury-induced physical limitations, and reduced daylight. Whew! But as creative and determined as you have shown yourself to be already, I've no doubt you will take all of this on as a learning project and come out better on the other side.

I wish you the very best with it all!

yes amr, of course, that is what I do, fruit, and beans, indeed (lunch) and right now it seems to be enough. Never just sugar.

We are many dark shadows moving in the park each evening: running, walking, biking and walking dogs who wear flash lights, hehe. Flashing dogs. Not that there is a huge population out there but I am definitely not alone in the dark LOL. Now even rain. Hark, how much more fun can it get? But I prefer to go out rather than sit on the stationary bike. I should probably do both but I save it for worse times. I will ask the eye doc once I see him in two weeks time when I could add sprints. A few would make a difference...if you go anaerobic for a short while it registers, so I heard.
Writing goes well, otherwise I rather not see people if I don't absolutely have to right now. Tomorrow morning Feldenkrais. I am not attempting to understand that approach, I am just following the instructions and I hope it'llall add in time to some good effect.
Shoulder a tiny bit better. I do more stretching than trigger points right now. I gave up all the PTs with the shoulder...they can't do anything anyhow. I am going to return to Sonnon's mobility program.I don't do the whole body, just the shoulders right now.
Well, nothing much more exciting from the Scan-land.

We're not anywhere like you on the darkness front, I don't think, but I was caught out a bit with a photoshoot today when it was pretty much dark by 4 o'clock and I couldn't get any natural light pictures!

Hi there dsun,
nice long walks? Ay, dark and frosty seasoning on them. Last week I didn't get out in three consecutive days but I was out the other four. As long as those walk days outpower the lazy days in one week it's okey :-)

Next Tuesday the op on the second eye is planned, I think I leave the third eye where it is, heheh.

I hope all you American muscle-heads get out and vote today, exercise your muscles and your rights, too! Your ancestors fought for them hard. The world is watching.
Arnold thought Obama should have some muscles according to our 'local paper'...well, ahem...no comments on that comment.

best training wishes to you all

Ah, so it is time for me to report 'nothing'.

Only two walks last week it's pitch black at 4pm, rain pouring down and wind blowing, even I have my limits. You wouldn't chase out a ghost-devil in those conditions.

Today my second eye op was planned but after I've went through all the pre-op motion including tranquilizers, eye drops and green sterile outfit and what not I walked out of there. I wasn't sure we had the right lens and I was not into getting just what was available in their storage cupboard because it was 'approximately OK' and 'probably would work'. Nope, this is for life, you don't slice the eye every other day. Many variables are unpredictable anyhow (such is the situation and thanks god the doc is sincere about that) so we need to do the best qualified guess possible anyhow. Moreover, I do not align with scientific research so the already ordered lens would not do the job. Good news was that the first eye did very well. Better than the doc expected.

I have a new op-time in a month which gives me a little window for a little exercise. After three weeks I can now do a little bit more exercise and I intend to use that occasion to my advantage to abridge this 'worst time' of year'.

Eating is OK and there's not so much more I can do right now.

My tool kit contains the normal:
Bosu, Feldenkrais, joint mobility, swiss ball, shoulder stretches, walks, adding possibly HIT on my stationary bike now, thread mill in PT gym with some substantial incline, and some light body exercise as the first eye is now through the first period of healing.

My goal for now is maintenance (= not to slide back to the condition before I joined IOL -spring 2008) and at least keep the status quo. What am I learning? Positive thinking and p-a-t-i-e-n-c-e.

Be you all good and invite the bright future.
Ask yourself: if not me, who? If not now, when? If not this, what? That is how change happens, there's no other way. Get going, remember your heart and the devil doesn't get any chance to bite your butt.

Al,right, looking back I do not regret it. However,things move swiftly and new cards are already dealt: they called yesterday and said they have everything and now I have a new time slot the coming Monday. I have to remain flexible, remain flexible and remain flexible, LOL, stretch the mind and body...
....still it is a pretty impossible decision, how to know what will work?

The doc is leaving after X-mas so we should complete our mission before holidays so that I can step into the new year with clear sight. I hope he's taking time off for some fun, he works very hard, so much I could see during my hours of hanging around there.

In any case I feel fortunate that this help is offered and glad I didn't postpone.

Hi there, iron worshippers of the mighty Draper clan,

For now due to my physical circumstances I remain the pragmatic theoretician: I offered some useful advice to a friend who needed to loose weight. That was at the beginning of October. Since then he applied it and and so far he shed 20 lbs. Not bad! Simple goes a long way.
We can spread good vibes in many ways and support others, too. Don't we all know that? LOL

Outside there is a first delivery of white snow.

Second eye op went well last Monday but the sight didn't stabilize yet and I felt a bit derailed this week. On the whole all is OK though.

p-a-t-i-e-n-c-e
Did I say that before?

However, in a shop I eyed the smallest (10 lbs) KB on Thursday.....the future waitsf or me. I remember saying here on this log that Tsatsouline stuff was not for me, LOL. Then why did I saw it first thing he came out with it years ago when no one knew what KB was and most thought perhaps they just lost G in KGB? Anyhow...

I maintain simple eating, some walking, I don't weigh myself but I still get into my clothes. If I survive the first part of the winter season onslaught like this I ought to be satisfied with that.

Take care of yourself and the Earth and all will be fine.
Best wishes to you all.

What I like about the example that DD constitutes for us is that the mind, sense of humor and soul have to remain integrated with the iron mission. OK I say, enjoy your ego if it is well functioning but be reminded that 'tis body will not survive no matter what you'll do. That reminds us of nothing else but the fact that each day is precious.

Keep your 'body-vehicle' in a good shape and enjoy the ride it takes you on (that is how far I get with all this stuff). May pain not debilitate you too much and too long, may you overcome bad times successfully and keep a bright outlook. How? By remembering for what you can still be grateful.

As most of you in USA celebrate Thanksgiving I post an excerpt from a book by brother David Steindl-Rast (a Benedictine monk) called A Listening Heart:


" The clue lies in the fact that any given moment confronts us with a given reality. But if it is given it is a gift. If it is a gift the appropriate response is thanksgiving. Yet, thanksgiving where it is genuine does not primarily look at the gift and expresses appreciation; it looks at the Giver and expresses trust. The courageous confidence that trusts in the Giver of all gifts is faith. To give thanks even if we cannot see the goodness of the giver-to learn this is to find the path to peace of heart. For happiness is not what makes us grateful. It is gratefulness that makes us happy."

---I am grateful for the existence of this IOL forum and for the inspiration and help it provides in many different ways. Thank you all, may you all be well.---

Lately I felt waves of gratefulness for my improved sight, awestruck by the scope of people involved in helping me, people improving technology over the years, people willing to study to become doctors and nurses, people manufacturing instruments and medicines etc etc. It's the same when I think about how many people worked so that I can eat breakfast each day. It's simply mind boggling.

As long as we live in this dual dimension there will always be two sides to everything. In science positive and negative pole, in Christian religion God and Satan. It is a question of focus, how an energy is employed, same electricity can destroy or build up. A constructive action and destructive action, you choose and others choose, to, any second, any day, any place.

I'd say that gratefulness also helps me to be responsible.

Today I exchanged my computer chair for 80 cm diameter gymball. Sitting on it works dandy. Hips can do some work all the time, the spine, too and I can also easily stretch my back when I need to.

On the whole nothing new with me.

Today Feldenkrais class and chili con carne, LOL. Life is a riff:

Subeer,
so good to hear from you! I wondered how you were and what happened with your burpee gang.
Gratitude is a state of let go. It leads to obedience. Not an obedience of a self-appointed authority but obedience of wisdom and (flow of the) Life force.

Soon I will pick up my bones and start moving around again.

---
I have to report a great success with the gym ball instead of a chair. Lower back pain went in a day. Thousand small unintentional movements during a day while sitting on it obviously made a difference. I can also do some extra ab work while reading the IOL posts, hahah.

Note that I used an ergo Stokke special tripod (since two months ago) but that probably gave me some of the lower back tension, go figure. I don't suppose its the chair itself but all heights that don't fit.

Stokke makes some cool furniture (apart from the well known baby products). The tripod with a rounded foot for a hip movement is pictured in the background here:

Cool. Glad to see that that gymball is working. I wouldn't have thought of one of those for a desk chair - good job thinking outside the box! I did have one of those chairs you kneel into once, really liked it, and am thinking of finding another.

I like the new avatar, too. Cheers on ya!

The test of an adventure is that when you’re in the middle of it, you say to yourself, “Oh, now I’ve got myself into an awful mess; I wish I were sitting quietly at home.” And the sign that something’s wrong with you is when you sit quietly at home wishing you were out having lots of adventure.

Mrs Jack ask Mr Jack. With Christmas around the corner who needs another pair of slippers? LOL. There are innovative approaches to all tasks at hand. After all, see it from the bright side, you are not yet asking him for a slosh pipe or bags of sand, LOL.

I know it all adds but the gym ball isn't too expensive. The trick is to find a size that fits your body and the table height. I picked a smoky transparent color that in itself is perhaps a little gloomy but it goes best with the room and it doesn't interfere to much.

Matt,
the kneeling chairs were sold here by Stokke who doesn't carry them anymore. Check this site:

I did the diagnostic work according to the book. The result doesn't look so stellar if I may pass a judgement. I am a case I and II (uneven hips with forward tilt, twisted hunched shoulders, drooping head etc. - halleluja).

For this condition he doesn't recommend rowing or biking not to speak about running until the troubles are fixed. Walking, dancing is OK =no benefit, no harm. Weight lifting is moderately beneficial. Cross-country skiing is recommended. For that I have no equipment nor snow. Maybe the skis with wheels are the name of the game, LOL.

Anyhow I will give his restorative program a go (as outlined in his book), starting with the condition II sequence (13 exercises) and after it improves moving to condition one (exactly as he recommends). In my case the leg difference requires a palliative measure (as the case already is).

I must say I find the book very useful, not complicated and he really gets his message across. In short he says move or die.

Today I exchanged my computer chair for 80 cm diameter gymball. Sitting on it works dandy. Hips can do some work all the time, the spine, too and I can also easily stretch my back when I need to.



Cool. Glad to see that that gymball is working. I wouldn't have thought of one of those for a desk chair - good job thinking outside the box!



Me neither. Maybe I'll try it, too.

Good luck with your new program pink.pixie.
Keep us informed on how you think it's working (or not). Thanks. ;)

The test of an adventure is that when you’re in the middle of it, you say to yourself, “Oh, now I’ve got myself into an awful mess; I wish I were sitting quietly at home.” And the sign that something’s wrong with you is when you sit quietly at home wishing you were out having lots of adventure.

Yes.
Tonight I had a demanding board meeting. Normally I'd be 'cancelled' afterwards but didn't I say "EVERY day"? So 8.30 pm I went out, dark park walk but 1,5 h anyhow, I actually met some brave runners out there even at that late time. I wasn't totally drenched like yesterday.

Hi Al, yes I'd say, try the swiss ball and see what you think. I have been using it for a week now and for me it works very well.

Mrs. Jack,
I'll keep you posted. IRL there are so many individual "trouble posture combinations" but in 'this-his book' he introduces four categories (three troubled plus one perfect) in order to make the topic possible to handle.

Glad to see you out there Pixie! Dark park walk. Watch out for the elves, goblins, dwarves, and trolls. Perhaps Bilbo can lend you his ring for protection.

Actually it was very peaceful there, the dark bare tree silhouettes, city/car lights in the distance, lake, all very silent and quiet. Not that cold either. The only buzz was on my hard disc. The nature always asks me 'what are you doing? what is it all about? are you being you?' and all the absurdities become just that- 'absurd'.
