Recovering from a very sore back
January 25, 2010
Ok so after my last post I was hyped. I was ready to go, I was ready to rule the world, until I couldn’t move the next day. Some where in my fabulous workout last Wednesday I either really worked my lower back muscles or I really strained the hell out of them. I am pretty sure it has something to do with swinging that dumbbell up above my head a thousand times.
Thursday I was sore and my back was bothering me but I went to body step anyway. My good friend Lesley joined me to get in some practice with the new release. She just went to get certified to teach this past weekend. I struggled through the class for sure. Tuesday I rocked it, Thursday I looked like an out of shape mess.
Friday I woke up and it was over. I could not get out of bed. The soreness had set in and set in big time. I called out of work because I could hardly walk and spent the day on the couch with the heating pad.
Saturday was not much better but I was able to get up and walk around a little easier. Sunday even better and today even better still.
I had all intention of getting back into the gym today, after all I have been out for 3 days, but my job didn’t want to help me out and I didn’t get out of a 1:30 court hearing until well after 5:00pm. I am taking it as a sign as I can still feel a little pull in my back today, but tomorrow I am back at it and back to body step.
Struggles this weekend were #1 food choices. If I could stop stuffing my mouth on the weekends I might actually be able to get some of this weight off instead of losing and gaining the same 5-8 lbs over and over again.
A friend of mine posted a picture of me on Facebook from college today. UGG I want my body back. I don’t expect to get back 100% to that point but to get somewhere close would be nice.
Back to the grind tomorrow!
