Touch the floor, stretch way back, side to side, etc. Work up to 10 minutes or so if you don't already...your muscles should ache a bit but not hurt. See if that helps.<BR/><BR/>Karengemoftheoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521207668262592414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28018475.post-687441154074602942008-05-15T22:48:00.000+01:002008-05-15T22:48:00.000+01:00Thanks for the encouragement, folks!Bernadette - g...Thanks for the encouragement, folks!<BR/><BR/>Bernadette - good idea... I'll (try to) offer it up.<BR/><BR/>La mamma - LOL, thanks... the heroic minute is what I'm aiming at, but as my SD points out, there's little point trying if I'm not allowing myself enough sleep!<BR/><BR/>Karen - I really need at least 7 hours' sleep a night, minimum (on a regular basis... I can survive on less for short periods) and as I need to get up at 6am in order to have time in the morning for prayer and getting to work, I need to get to sleep by 11pm. At the moment I'm having problems disciplining myself to go to bed before 11pm, and if I do, then I don't fall asleep... and my large caffeine intake has been suggested as a possible cause for the last bit... hence this little experiment.Mulier Fortishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01186202810919174492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28018475.post-50579064894152805362008-05-15T22:17:00.000+01:002008-05-15T22:17:00.000+01:0011 pm is early!

Well done. When it gets unbearable, make it a kind of fasting and offer it for a specific intention. (PS the HFE bill is at a crucial stage). <BR/><BR/>You are saving lives.

It can be done....I happen to endure chronic daily headaches ( i am on medication for this) even without the coffee and had hoped they would subside a little ( they didn't) but the real reason for giving it up was because i drank so much of it and was so dependant on it to help me stay awake and focussed, besides which, i didn't want to take an easy Lenten penance option....I can say hand on heart, that by the end of that first Lent without it, I didn't crave it at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28018475.post-63208216509865297822008-05-14T19:38:00.000+01:002008-05-14T19:38:00.000+01:00Good luck!
