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.
