This is hard.... to STOP, assess my back/hip/leg/knee, and not do do do do.... bc that's what I've always tended to do.... just get after it, and get it done.
In martial arts.... in everything, and I know it leads to injuries I could have avoided. I do it bc it's easier than paying attention, measuring out what's going on, and taking precautions I have to measure, and pay attention to.
So, THIS is where I STOP, and figure out a better way.
I don't have to worry about what others think, and I can believe in myself.... I'll do what I can as it's prudent, and wise.
That has to be enough.
Whoo..... that felt amazing: )
Now... to the rocks!

ps Everything is feeling good right now with hip. The fatigue is gone, as is the twinges of muscle tension. I stretched, and walked, and did yard stuff today...... I won't overdo.

Difficult not to overdo it, Lighter, especially on a 'good' day - really easy to keep going and enjoy getting a lot done, only to suffer for it the day after :) I'm glad the garden is coming on so well xx
lighter:
Tossing 3 tons of rocks yesterday, and both shoulders feeling strong.
Nothing pulled.
Everything loose, and happy: )
Company coming this weekend, so I'm in the house right now. Will toss more rocks, but first laundry, bathrooms, and kitchen.

3 tonnes?! Oh my days, Lighter, you'll be the strongest lady around :) lol, good to hear that it's all done and nothing has popped out of place. You're such a busy bee :) xx
lighter:
I had 6 tons dropped last week, and a ton of gravel dropped today. I'm pretty strong, and getting stronger by the day, Tupp!
I really want the yard in shape by the time oldest dd graduates.... will have lots of company in town: )
::sigh::
Will go out and move a few wheel barrows full of gravel, and see how hard that is.
I've never moved gravel around before.

It sounds as if it will look amazing, Lighter :) I've never been great with wheelbarrows, I find it difficult to move them around, I think they're designed for people taller and stronger than me (blokes, basically!). Lol. When son was small he had a little plastic wheelbarrow which he filled with sand and wheeled indoors, then emptied on the carpet in front of the telly so that he could build sandcastles whilst watching TV. So cute, the things they do when they're little. Probably not a good idea to do with your gravel! Hope you can get it moved alright. xx
