It is so gratifying to actually see the weight being increased and even when it's not, it's gratifying to realize it's not as hard as it once was. I have terrible upper body strength and almost got to there I hated Wednesday's because it was arms, chest, bi and tri's. I can hang with my trainer when we do legs because my legs are strong, but with my limitation on my shoulder anyway I suck at upper strength. I came to realize one day when not paying attention the weight I used to have to have help with I can do on my own now. So I so get this! Way to go Wendy!

I've been having pains in my joints for a few years--I always attributed those pains to running but now I'm thinking it was early RA. <br /><br />For sure, I know that the pain in my hands is RA. My knuckles are red and my hands have a burning kind of sensation. Over the weekend, I had aching in my knees and my hips. I'm going to put it on RA. Those are new aches and I can't think that it is from running, since I'm not doing high mileage right now. Not sure if I'm answering your question...<br /><br />Your friendship is a gift. <3Wendy at Taking the Long Way Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934786207724059919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-61271177519894736982017-03-06T19:37:18.535-06:002017-03-06T19:37:18.535-06:00Awww...thank you!
