Better late than never!

So I'm not doing so well with updating my blog. Let me update you on what's been going on.

Last week was just REALLY busy. Then on Monday, I finally was able to go to a class at the gym. Guess what I chose: BOOT CAMP! It felt so good (and believe me SO BAD) to be able to participate in a class again. I go home, exhausted and funky, eat dinner, then sit down to study some of my PMP stuff. I notice my a muscle in my neck getting tight, but I try to massage it out. By the time an hour has passed, I can't turn my head to the left at all.

The Progression: I tried a hot shower, ICY HOT, heating pad, ice, massaging, you name it. NOTHING WORKED. The muscle just basically kept getting tighter. I couldn't sit down, stand up, or lay down. I mean you could feel the knots! So I told Rodney I'd wait until 2 am to go to the ER if I was still in pain. That was at like 1:10. By 1:15, I was like let's go. So after the normal waiting at the hospital (including 1 HOUR just to wait for my initial meds), I was walking on a cloud, and relatively pain free (thank you Jesus for Valium and Naproxen). UNTIL I WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNING. I hadn't planned to go to work anyway, but let's just say today is Friday and this is my first day back. I'm feeling much better (managed to go to Step class last night); just a few twinges here and there. And I still have a few Valium left if I feel like I'm relapsing.

Needless to say, with only working out 2 days this week, and being stuck in the house with nothing but food, my scale is not looking too good. But I'm back on it this week, and I hope to see some big losses soon.

I was going to write a post about the NY Post's cartoon, but I think it's all already been said. It wasn't called for, and we have to start speaking up people. If we just let this slide, IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN! So if I need to grab my picket sign, let me know! :-)

Ciao for now. See you in the gym.
