Feeling a little fragile, a little delicate today. My back is bugging me again. It went out a little over a week ago and it’s finally feeling better, thanks to a deep tissue massage that left me bruised and feeling as though I’d been tenderized. But it’s still tight, and I have to constantly be stretching it. If I sit for too long, the first few steps after I get up are a little painful. It takes a lot out of me, so I’ve been exhausted.
I just want to feel strong again, like I did when I was running all the time. I feel healthy, but not strong. Working on that, though. This week will be week four that I’ve been going to Pilates, and I love it. My instructor is great and I leave feeling looser with muscles burning pleasantly from a good workout. I can already see a difference in my arms. I’m super excited to be working on upper body strength because, at present, I have none. I would like to be able to complete a push-up.
Plus I went in for my annual exam yesterday and while I was there my doctor was like “Hey! You haven’t had a tetanus shot in about ten years!” So I got one and could barely lift my arm all night. Owie.
I hate shots! I got an infection after I had the baby and they had to give me a big shot in the bum cheek and MAN it hurt. I know how you feel, at least bums have a little juice on them, arms, not so much.
