I’m officially back in the game, my friends!
But let me start from the beginning. I actually went and got a massage yesterday afternoon which I desperately needed. I take a lot of stress in my back, and when combined with all the spills and hits I take during my various “fun” activities, I get pretty kinked and knotted. I found a therapist that does both massages and simple alignments, and she is amazing. Anyway, I saw her in the afternoon and after an amazing hour of a somewhat painful massage, she made me whole spine go CRACK!!
It felt awesome.
I’ve been a little hesitant about the whole back-cracking/chiropractic concept in the past. In fact, I’m still not 100% sure that I’ll ever actually go to a real chiropractor. Something about the idea makes me nervous. But I loved this today! She took this cloth thing and wrapped it around my head and kinda pulled like she was lengthening my spine — I literally felt every single vertebrate decompress and lengthen, and the best part? I usually have a hollow of pain in the center of my back (especially when I don’t exercise) and as soon as she did her thing, the pain went away. Like immediately. How awesome is that?! I’m all smiles now 🙂
I have no idea why that picture went to the left…but I can’t fix it. Oh well!
After I got my back all crackity crack cracked, I went to the gym for a good kick-ass session. I’m pretty sure she told me not to do this but I didn’t really listen. Hmm…..maybe that’s why my back was so jacked to begin with. Weird.
Anyway, I did an easy mile on the AWFUL treadmill before taking my body pump class. BP was awesome and I am proud to say that I lifted some big girl weights. I’m gonna be hurting tomorrow and it’s awesome. Know why?!
Cause I’M OFFICIALLY NOT SICK ANYMORE!!!
PS IT’S SNOWING OUTSIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can anyone say “ski season”?!
Do you see a chiropractor or a massage therapist? How often?
What was your workout yesterday?
