head and shoulders

Another torture...er, uh...exercise that I do

involves me  being strapped into a belt attached to a line that's attached to those block weights that clang if you don't  have great control.

I take three big steps to one side then have to take the same number of steps to get back to my original position. Dr. Joe called them Big-Girl-Steps. He said if you take three big girl steps out you have to take the same number of steps to get back.

I hate that exercise.

It hurts me in places.

THAT'S the exercise I'll have to work on the hardest.

I may not like it but I'll get good at it.



When I was on the rocker board yesterday Dr. Joe told me I had a look on my face like I was surprised that I could actually do it.

"I'll take care of my head" I snapped defensively.

He said,

"Well could you take care of your shoulders too? They're tense and it's throwing you off balance."

I shook off the tension.

Stood up tall

and felt better.



My head?

Well, I guess I am surprised that I can do certain things.

If my confidence is lacking it's because I am not used to accomplishing things that involve my body being strong.

Confidence comes from doing.

Good thing I'm a doer.
