So any of my friends who knows me, I don't hold back, I tell it like it is! As a result I might lose a few friends. At times, it makes me feel bad and I have to live with it.
So my last post, I was thinking of stopping Crossfit. I am thinking I need a break from it or my body doesn't like it. Two years ago, my hips were in agony and then I hurt my back. I had to ultimately stop anything that compresses the spine so the adjustments would take. Back got better so back to what I was doing. With the long hours, I had to put my things on hiatus: crossfit, arrichion classes and even training with my trainer,Jackie.
When I did do Crossfit, chirpractor would be forever adjusting me. So when I went back to crossfit, i twang my back again and had to stop and went back to arrichion classes and back training with my trainer, Jackie. The adjustments to the back, thoracic area were less so I am thinking crossfit is not for me. The owner did tell me to contain weight training of some sort. He even gave me recommendations.
But I already have a trainer who is the best in my opinion. For those of you who don't know who my trainer, friend; her name is Jackie Williams. When I started in 2013, after suffering from a stressed fracture on my foot. This means I could not do any sort of run or jog, maybe walk. Not that the running was going to control my weight, which I was having trouble controlling, that was all I knew how to do. I was not sure if I wanted to spend all that money on personal training. But at the moment, it was the right thing to do for me now. I needed to be a little selfish. Her workouts kills me and the next day, I could hardly move but I had to keep at it. After all, I paid for it. But eventually, I started enjoying classes. I would say I finally learn from Jackie how to deal with my bad eating patterns. My many, many years of being obese, I finally learn.
Everyday is a battle for me with my weight but I tell myself that I cannot beat myself up, if i slip or if went on a eating binge. I now know what to do because of this fine young lady I have who trains me. Talk to me if you want more information!
Going back to Arrichion was a wonderful feeling. It's the people positiveness and encouragement that makes you go and do classes together. The coaches are wonderful. I don't know how more to thank them. I am supplementing my training with classes at Arrichion. I do yoga for stretching, I do yoga to gain strength, I do yoga to get a stronger core, I do circuit classes and weight training to become stronger.
And I have gone back to swim classes at Gypsy Divers. I did start but with shoulder and hip injury, learning that freestyle is hard, well, everything is hard. Again , the 2 instructors there Jessica and Lisa are excellent, they make classes enjoyable. I wanted so bad to learn how to swim if nothing else conquer my fear of the deep end. There was a family tragedy where my mother won't let us learn to swim and I thought I almost drown when the canoe capsized. So some day!
So this week, I had a tooth extracted and bone graph done so face a little swollen. It's tiring sitting in that chair with your mouth open and seeing tools fly by your face and knowing that they are stitching your gums.
I just don't know why we have teeth when you lose them anyways. I had 4 teeth taken out so they can put braces on because my mouth was too small. Now I got 2 more out- sheesh, pretty soon, I am going to talk funny!
So no special recipes this week!
This weekend is Mother's Day! Be good to your mom! Take her out! Do something special. For those otherwise, she's always in your heart always.
That's all for now!
Later,
Sue
