I have been working hard on the weight loss, though last week was kind of a wash. I pushed myself Sunday and Monday night and when I woke up Tuesday, I was sore, which is generally a good thing for me, but I didn't sleep well because my son likes to climb into bed with my wife and I and apparently, when he sleeps, he grows to 6 foot tall, and takes up the entire bed in all directions, so...I ran to Philadelphia for a doctor's appointment, and when I say ran, I mean it. The train was late heading to Philadelphia so I dashed to SEPTA, dashed off SEPTA, running around the UPenn campus to the hospital, all while carrying my laptop and a nice big heavy hardback novel.
By the end of the day my back hurt and I wasn't able to sit comfortably or exercise.
So much for thinking that strengthening my core was going to help me in situations like that.
Three days later I wasn't really able to walk without limping and wincing, and I was sure I'd done something permanent to my back, my wife worked all the kinks out with a massager and suddenly, the next morning, everything was perfect again. Huzzah for spouses! She saved my life. It felt that way.
Now I'm back to exercising and I feel wonderful.
Alright, off to a client meeting for me, but when I return, I'll share my wonderful weekend adventures at DirectBuy with everyone.
Don't let the aches and pains get you down. Keep doing a little something every day! I see the progress in your numbers. Keep it up.
