I liked Nancy's idea of a nipple cream, which I remember from soreness after nursing. Definitely remember that the cream, not the ointment, was recommended. Others recommended that the nipple be aired out, though....... sigh. Not completely sure. Very glad the handkerchief seems to be helping.
Tonight I tried out the new/old The Firm workout and the VCR tape works fine. Need to convert to DVD soon, though, to be sure to save it. Exercise VCR tapes wear out quicker than others since they are likely used more frequently. I did all the standing workout and left off the floor workout, which looks to be in need of more caution and less speed. As instructed, I did not use weights, since I'm not familiar with the moves yet (and that can be dangerous on a step). But I did remember a lot of it, which is surprising for about a 14-year absence. It was pretty aerobic and I did get winded.
I had done Basic T-Tapp Monday, so I'm at least keeping up.
Btw, dd13 was APPALLED at The Firm exercisers' scanty workout garb and the body-conscious artwork around their studio. I told her it was a decade and a half ago, but she was still shaking her head.
Found (surprisingly) excellent wild-caught pink salmon at HarrisTeeter grocery for 2/3 the price it was at the healthy grocery store ($8 as opposed to $12 per pound). We fixed it tonight and were very pleased. One pound was a nice amount for us and a smidgen for Tobias, who was in LOVE with it, so I think that's a very do-able meal we can repeat. We just baked at 350 for 20 mins with butter.
