Medical Update
I went to the chiropractor yesterday after school and learned that my left leg is 8 mm shorter than my right. Actually, it’s only 6mm shorter but my hips are unbalanced so that adds the extra 2 mm. He twisted me around and popped a few things and I feel better. He commented that I’m really, really flexible which actually makes it harder for him to adjust me but that it’s good overall. Today I felt better but still could tell my back was bothering me so I had another appt. after school. He wants me back on Friday so hopefully I’ll be able to workout again, soon.
Thanks for all of the supportive comments and advice. My “challenge” will continue even though I’m taking a break from exercise. I am going to be 100% conscious in my eating. At first I told myself that I was going to be perfect, but that’s setting me up for disaster. Instead, I’m taking each situation as it comes. For instance, in a meeting today there were tons of snacks on the table. I wasn’t going to have anything and then realized that I was truly hungry. It was time for a snack so I had 1 mini peppermint patty. Of course I wanted more but I stopped and I’m very proud of that.
Good job for stopping at 1!
I’m not a big fan of 100% goals - because you fall too easily into “failure” and give yourself license to do some serious damage to your self esteem (and your waistline). Better to have the “do your best” approach and forgive yourself for each small transgression.
Ew- popping sounds on my body make me cringe lol. Glad you are feeling better though! Good for you on only eating one patty
read your past 6 posts or so. good job on doing the boot camp workouts. i could never get up early to exercise. my sleep’s crappy enough as it is, i need every minute i can get.
hope your back gets better soon.
