workouts have been going pretty well...seem to have hurt my shoulder a bit yesterday (must have been straight-leg dead's??? can't think of anything else) but I'm actually thinking I *hurt* it on Thursday, and this just re-aggravated it. Hoping it stops hurting by tomorrow. It's really strange...it's been a "nagging" injury for about a year and 1/2 now...started when I tried to move the weight machine by myself (dummy!) and after 6 months I went to the Dr., who, after X-ray, decided he was *sure* I had tendonitis, and gave me a cortisone shot. 6 weeks later, I went back again, shot had given me no relief, and he gave me another. No relief. He said I can give you another, and I said "what's the point?". I never went back. I think this shoulder was a driving force in my year of basically not working out. Eventually, it stopped hurting, and I would go days with no pain, but then I'd reach the wrong way, or sleep the wrong way, or pick up my daughter the wrong way, and I'd be in pain for another couple of weeks. So, I'd say, it really never did "go away". Now, it seems to be back with a vengenance. Which pretty much sucks. So, I'm going to have to look up some shoulder rehab exercises online or something, because today? it's totally driving me crazy. The pain is strange too...sometimes burning, sometimes sharp knife-like, and it migrates. Right now, it's right at the front of my shoulder, where clavicle meets humerus, but earlier it was "burning" on the entire rear surface of my shoulder blade, and before that it was a sharp & burning sensation (alternating) going up my trap and into my neck. I have no idea.
Meals are totally on track, biggest problem so far has been "allowing" myself a 10% meal...I get obsessed with not "blowing it", and I have a hard time giving myself slack. I had one "10%" and it was yesterday...right after my workout, a banana with about 1 TBS of Nutella. Delicious, but guilt inducing. And, comparatively speaking to my past regressions, extremely tame.
On tap for today is a little relaxation...daughter has a riding lesson in an hour, I've got to stop by the grocery store for a few little things, and then maybe head down to the pool...the sun's probably good for my shoulder, right???
