Wouldn’t it just figure that the moment we start taking our health and fitness seriously, something happens? Thursday night I was on the floor playing a rousing game of FIFA 2010 on the Xbox. I sat up to go to bed and an immense amount of pain streaked through my upper back. It came from nowhere. It hurt so much that it knocked the wind out of me. For the next three days, days 5-7 for week 1, I was stuck in bed, or on the floor, or in any possible stationary position waiting for it to get better. However this also meant the loss of three workouts: upper body lifting Friday and today, and my long run for the week that I was supposed to do Saturday morning.
The hard part about all of this is that every single time I get started on a serious health kick, I get sick, or I hurt something, or allergies flare up, or... You name it, and it seems to happen. Well, this time I’m not letting it stop me. I’m planning on a short run with Jenn when I get home from work, and hopefully I’ll lift lower body tomorrow morning. I’m not stopping.
As for eating, I managed to stay in my calorie window all weekend which is harder when you are stuck at home with nothing to do. We did weigh-ins yesterday morning, and I dropped 5 pounds, so I’m back to 195. Yep, we’re getting there. Week two is under way and I’m ready!
