Happy Friday Peeps!
Quick story
I strained my back in the gym almost 2 months ago. I felt my body tired 2 days before...rested the day after. Got back in the gym the following day.
Started doing goblet squats, then felt a pain across my back.
The pain move from my back to my left glutes down to my left ankle. Mighty God, mi seh pain in every language! Damian Turner
That day, I ended up not foing to work. I could not walk, sit or stand.
The short version, MRI plus orthapedic Doc visit over the next few weeks.
Truth is, I was tired from the last couple of months being on the go. Sat out of the gym for 3 weeks. I started to worry about how I was going stay home, eat and get fat lol....but then I know I needed to rest. So I did.
No gym, just rested, drank my greens, turmeric tea, rosemary tea (cause of course smoothie boss has the remedy for pain/inflammation). Plus I ate likkle pizza and cake too.
Doc cleared me to walk only, and I am ok with that. Currently in physio therapy for the next 2 months.
First week I walked 2 days, second week, I walked 3 days, this week 4 days so far and buidling up. No pressure on my body and mind.
With all that said:
1. Know when your body is speaking to you.
2. Not only are you to know, but listen and obey your body.
3. Choose rest over burnout (I know better).
4. Slow down, the very thing that you are seeking is already seeking you.
5. Rest. Rest. Rest...when it is time to rest.
The best thing that happened to me in the last 2 months was that pain in my back.
Why? It slowed me down.
So no fancy workouts, just walking. Treadmill or nature walks and I am enjoying just that....until then...My peeps lift weights for us both.
