Gail S Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 Day 52 Continuing to see more and more improvements. Face is clearing back up after breaking out when I introduced dairy. My energy level is back and really high. Love it Overall I am feeling the best I can ever remember. Love the feeling. Last night was strength training. Found out last night just how weak I really am. Did some work with the olympic bar and was greatly disappointed that I could barely list it over my head 3 times. It is a starting point although lower than I would like. At least I am moving forward and not sitting on the couch watching the world pass by. I will get stronger and the bar will not master me!

Gail S Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Day 53 Strength workout was good and hard yesterday. Did a bunch of "farmer" carries with 30 pound kettle bells in each hand. Also did burnout pull downs and pushup. It was awesome. Left knee and ankle bother me some but this morning feels okay. Will probably go ahead and try a cardio workout tonight and use my ankle brace.

Gail S Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Day 54 So, yesterday I going to classify as a minor train wreck day. I got off work early and ran some errands and then decide to rake and bag some leaves. I wasn't feeling too bad so I decided to go ahead and try a cardio/strength training day at boot camp. I been restricted to only strength days for the past two months and have really missed the cardio days. They are hard but fun. My chiropractor really wanted me to continue to not do cardio but did decided if the class didn't involve a lot of jumping or could be modified I could try it. 1st Station: Partner held plank while the other person reverse bear crawled to wall and then basically continue to reverse crawl up the wall until their nose touched the wall. This was modified for me where once I reached the wall I did two walking planks. Then you run back to your partner and complete six squat jumps (building by two each time you come back). Then it was your turn to hold plank while the partner completed the exercise. This was a continuous station for 3 1/2 minutes 2nd Station: Hold Viper over head in quick feet. When trainer yells drop, you slam the viper to the ground, squat down to catch it and return to holding it above your head in quick feet. Next is full situps and finally back extensions on a stability ball Repeat 3rd Station: Partner holds a 8 pound medicine ball and do quick feet through a short ladder. Partner also holds a medicine ball and does 8 chops on each side and then 8 twisters; then switch with partner. 2nd time to the ladder is hopping while bouncing the ball in each square. Switch between quick feet and hopping each time return to the ladder. Continuous work for 3 1/2 minutes Three times through complete circuit. By the time I was finished I could feel my left knee, hip and shoulder really bothering me. Mostly my left knee. I came home and iced it and my shoulder and went to bed. This morning I am sore and the knee is still tender but I can go up and down stairs so I think I will wait to see the chiro until my regular appointment on Tuesday. It will be interesting to see what he thinks about continuing cardio days once in a while and build back up to the full schedule of strength and carido days.

Gail S Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 Day 56 Late night out last night (a couple of hours past my normal bedtime) for a great concert. Not feeling as tired as I thought I might but definitely missing my normal hours of sleep. Can hardly wait to go to the chiropractor tomorrow to straighten out this hip, knee, ankle issue. I am definitely to learn more patience with my body and not try to force this level of exercise until my body is clearly ready for it. The pain is definitely not worth it.

Gail S Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 Day 57 So, since this past Friday (when I made the choice to try cardio day at boot camp again) I have been having problems with my left shoulder, hip, knee and ankle. I decided to try icing it instead of making an emergency chiro appt. Big mistake. I have not slept well since then and I can really tell it today. I am just exhausted. It shows in the bags under my eyes. Of course it doesn't help that Sunday and Monday night at made the choice to attend concerts that were awesome but caused me to stay up way later than normal. Plan for tonight is see chiropractor, grab compliant food and go to bed. Hopefully the chiro can straighten me out enough to get soem good sleep.

Gail S Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 Day 58 Still tired today even though I went to bed early. I think a lot of it is my body was so far out of alignment that it is going to take a bit to recover. Chiro appt went well. My knee was rotated out which explains why my entire left side has been bothering me. Also adjusted my left shoulder. It will definitely take a bit for the muscle to relax to actually get some relief but I think we may have figure out why I have been having adjustment problems these last couple of months. We are almost 100% sure it is my workout shoes. I switched from a stablizer shoe (chunky and rigid) to a minimalist shoe (flexiable and lightweight) about the same time I started having knee and ankle issues. So we are going to switch back to the stablizer shoe, do only strength days for a couple weeks and get a couple of chiro adjustments. The we will try another cardio day as see how it goes. Hopefully we are the right path. Given all that I can really tell how not being able to sleep well along with being in pain really messes with my brain. I really wanted to run to "comfort" food especially last night. Good thing my kitchen is cleared of all non-compliant food and it was cold out so that was a deterrant to running to the store. It doesn't mean I ate well last night (lots of fruit) but it is better than what could have been.

Gail S Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 Day 59 I think I am finally catching back up on my sleep. Now if my knee will just clear up I will be good to go.
