Grining from ear to ear
Until an hour ago I had the threat of surgery on my shoulder looming large in my mind. However, after getting the dreaded second opinion I have been given the go ahead to ease back into training and have been told I don’t need surgery. The advantages would have been my shoulders would have been the same length (rather than 1-2cm shorter on the left side), I would have had no lump and the surgery may reduce the chance of fatigue due to the length of my shoulders being different. The disadvantages would have been a big f-off scare and 4 month (!!!) out of the gym. They offered me the choice and I said I’ll be in the gym tomorrow thanks! As an added bonus, if I find I am having trouble down the track they’re more than willing to cut me open and reassemble me. It’s win, win.
Also, just after I wrote my last post I got an email from a friend who was seeking some diet advice regarding her low-carb (curves) diet and the energy slump she was in. To make things more complicated for her she’s vego! Low carb, low-fat, vego sounds like a prison sentence to me. Instantly I suggested she might get the results she was getting without the drain by switching to carb-cycling. And their I had it, that was my solution too. I’d planned out my cycling month back and then got lost somewhere, I’m back on it and am watching the water weight drop off and am looking forward to a big cardio session tommorrow evening followed by a sensible sized pasta meal. Yum!! I even made it through yesterday’s ‘no-carb’ day without a problem.
Now I’m off to Chinatown to resist the temptation of BBQ duck while I do a photoshoot at what i like to call a china-dinner for work. I wasn’t thinking when I wrote out this week’s diet plan and now have no real room for BBQ duck. I have got a tasty tuna salad in my bag though.
