Recovery
It’s been 5wks since I fell and cracked my tailbone. 5wks of a few arm workouts and whimpy cardio. Each time I would go to the gym-my back muscles would spasm and tell me NO MORE! So I began getting massages and using heat to relax my back muscles so I could function. It has been a long recovery, but the heat helps tremendously.
At the 4 wk mark I realized I was going to be able to workout again soon. So I began lifting a little heavier, finally able to do some form of a squat, but no lunges yet. This will start a new week, I will see what I can accomplish. It’s like starting all over again. I’m lifting much lighter weight for lots of reps(20 or more). I look at it as a good change my body is forcing me to make.
My weight is up 2lbs since the day of my fall. My diet has not been changed. I continued cheat meal once every 1-2 wks. I actually am not too ‘offended’ by the look right now. The number on the scale is ugly. But I just need to hit the weights and tighten up a bit.
