Seriously, I am sorry. My dad called the other day and reminded me that I have this blog, and maybe, just maybe I might want to update it. Then this morning Rach reminded me that I haven't posted anything..... Gotcha Gotcha. Then my friend Ethan shared a blog, so I did the ever famous blog stalking and was inspired to blog. There you have it, it's me. I'm back. Let me fill you in....
Okay, I left you over a month ago. In that month I have had some highs and lows, but mostly highs. The lows I faced began with my hip. It is always my hip isn't it? I am in recovery, and I phrase it like that because in all honesty I am months away from being fully recovered. Between the Chiropractor, The Body Sculpture, and the friendly advice from the P.A. Ryan that I swim with I do believe I am moving forward. Most importantly I have had to take it easy. By that I mean I have laid off the running, and that my 'bleaders' (blogers+readers) is a huge problem. For me, because as all know I am a bad runner. What I managed to do was EFX, Bike, and Swim. I started running again just recently and am a little behind where I should be. Okay, a lot behind where I should be. My saving grace is that my swimming is beyond where I hoped it would be. My biking? Eh, of average. I have 6 ish weeks, and need to continue to move forward but not over do it.
The other major low I was hit with has been a shoulder injury. Brent (my body sculpture) fixed me up pretty well, so I only missed one night of swimming from that. I believe it is one of my 4 rotator cuffs, and probablyneeds to be rested to fully heal! . But onward I press.
The highs? The biggest high is not how far I can push myselfthough maybe it should be??? but rather the current changes I have seen in my physique. I have not lost any weight, but rather gained close to 8 pounds. How is that a high? Well, my body fat % has dropped quite a bit. I am shaving off fat and building muscles. Ahhh, yeah, this is what I have been desiring. Best part? I can see the definition, and it feels good. I though about taking some photos to show you guys, but changed my mind. Not yet. You will see more of my body than your eyes can handle on June 27th at the Tri. I promise you that. Or just ask, I am not modest. Most of you can attest to that already.
So, things are good. Moving forward and that is better than stagnant, or backwards, so I will take it.
And of course, Thank You. What do I mean by that? I mean I couldn't do it with you. Who is that directed at? Everyone. This journey has improved so many aspects of my life. And everyone has been part of it. You all have pushed me, encouraged me, called me out on my bullshit, loved me, hated me, hugged me, and bought me presents. Thank You.
More to come, I will try to be better about blogging. I will put up some pictures. My crazy fivefinger shoes, maybe even my calves..... Nothing makes me smileor blush like someone complimenting me on them.
Inside all of us is HOPE.
