Had a rough weekend -- I pulled a muscle underneath my shoulder blade last week. Not when I was training, no, nothing like that -- when I was asleep. Seriously. So when I woke up I couldn't turn my head, etc. Thought it was just a stiff neck and went about my day, but by the time it was yoga time, I had to admit to myself that it was getting worse, not better. It's almost done complaining today -- we decided to skip training last Friday and then again today, so that I can be fully healed and not aggravate it. I hate stuff like this -- couldn't turn my head, couldn't nod, couldn't look to the side...yuck. Glad it's almost better -- I think I'm about 85% today. And then back to training next week!
We also have all of a sudden gotten a bunch of friends wanting to go out to dinner with us -- which is simultaneously awesome and difficult on both budgets -- $$$ and calories. It happens at the end of every year, when people start thinking about the holidays and about how we haven't seen each other in about 6 months, and there you go. Good to see everyone! Wish it weren't all nice cozy wintry food
The weather, at least, has been fabulous! I've actually gotten my husband out walking with me once! And need to get us both moving more
But I am starting to believe that it will happen. We both want to get back to pre-post-holiday depression weight. It's only been a couple months, but it feels like we've been off plan for years -- and I can't fit my nice new pants any more
Nothing like closet emergencies to push you forward, I guess, except that I'm kind of regretting donating all my old clothes -- we're heading into social season and I have pretty much nothing to wear :-S Maybe that's what I was on plan dietarily yesterday and today -- now to bring together the trifecta of health: exercise, diet, and sleep.
Here's a helping hand to anyone who needs one. Between us all, we should be able to climb this mountain together, right?
