Medium well done
Aug. 14th, 2012 10:05 amOh thank gods I didn't go to Crossfit this morning. Major emphasis on squats and running in today's WOD. It would not have gone well for me, since Monday overdid it on my back. Not sure when, but there's a badly knotted area right between my lats and teres major. My traps aren't feeling too friendly, either, and my glutes are killing me. I had sleep problems last night too, so when the alarm went off this morning, I didn't feel bad at all for turning it off and getting another forty minutes of rest. When I got up I did some serious rolling-out of my lower half and my back.

amjhawk is visiting this week and plans to go to Crossfit Lawrence's Tuesday Intro WOD at 7:30. I'll tag along for that if my back is feeling better by this evening. I have a ton of walking-while-carrying-heavy-things tomorrow and I'd rather not do that after having gone to a morning WOD.
Friday last week I went to a lymph drainage therapist, on the recommendation of my acupuncturist and Dr. Khosh. It was...interesting. Alas, I didn't experience any of the symptoms she suggested I might, except I had to pee a little more often than normal--but that might be because I drank extra water. She said I might experience some flu-like symptoms. I didn't. I was tired, but I'm tired a lot. And my swelling hasn't gone down at all. My morning waist measurement still varies between 32 and 31 inches. I'm trying to decide if I want to give a second session a go. I know it was impossible that a single session would cure the problem, but for $75 a pop, I'd hoped to see some results.
The (very expensive) supplements from Dr. Khosh aren't doing a damn thing either, as far as I can tell. Well, I take that back. The Kavinace capsules I take for my sleep health kind of help. They don't help me fall asleep, but I tend to wake up less--and when I do, I can fall back asleep easier. I was reminded of this last night when I forgot to take them and woke up at 1:30 and couldn't fall back asleep for ages.
I'm seeing zero improvement from eating Whole30. It's been over a week of clean eating with several intense exercise sessions, and my abdomen remains the same size and shape. I see muscle growth in my legs and arms, so it's doubly frustrating that the inflammation over my belly won't fucking budge. Yes, I'm vain about how I look in my dance costumes for Smoker. Sue me.
FEELING THWARTED.
