Feeling like a wuss
My faithful blog reader(s) know that it takes a lot to make me back off when working out. That's why I am so shocked to be stymied by a sunburn, of all things! I had a sub-par trainer ride this morning, due both to the fact that I woke up a million times (okay, it just felt like a million) trying to get comfortable without lying on my back or my site and the fact that leaning over in biking position hurt my burn too. Parts of it are better, but my upper back is still really tender. Putting on a sports bra (or taking one off, for that matter) makes me cry. I soldiered on as best I could but I just felt like I didn't have that extra energy to make it a good workout. I did start a new series, "Boston Legal." So far it seems a little silly but maybe I will get more into it.
In more positive news, my visit to the periodontist this morning wasn't too bad. Turns out that I am doing damage to my gums by brushing too hard and flossing incorrectly. He gave me this really cool, super-soft toothbrush to use and helped me work on my flossing technique. There is one spot that "could use" a gum graft, but I'm okay for at least the next six months. Phew.
When I changed into my gym clothes after work and still felt like screaming when I put on my sports bra, I knew lifting wasn't going to be fun. I popped a couple Advil and off I went. I biked a little and then moved over to the mat to do abs. Ouch. Still not a whole lot I can do lying on my back. And lifting was almost worse than yesterday--I was pathetic. I focused on some leg stuff now that my knee is feeling stronger and stronger, and still I couldn't wait to get undressed!
I feel like such a complainer. Matt is in New York tonight so I am going to use the alone time to research home remedies. This must get better soon or I am going to get reallty frustrated!
