So, im sure many of you might be wondering where i've been in the gym lately and unfortunately I hurt my back over a month ago and have been afraid to get into the gym and lift heavy weights. But, recently ive been noticing how out of shape I am becoming as well as a difference in my strength and cardio. I have been in and out of the gym probably once a week, but it is time to keep up a constant workout routine. Getting into the gym is extremely important to get the heart pumping, even if I may not be able to lift the heavy weights that I used to in order to protect my back. But i will be getting more of a work out by coming in and lifting light weights then I will be sitting at home wishing my back would get better. I have been icing my back 2-3 times a day with little relief, so I have scheduled an appointment for a firm sweedish massage on Tuesday with an emphasis on my low back, and if this does not help I will be making an appointment Kyler, a sports therapist- which wil hopefully do the job! Because it has been hard to get in the gym, its been even more difficult to keep up a constant healthy paleo diet also, urgh!
Today is my last day at the Hampton hotel in San Marcos and will begin my new job in Westlake tomorrow morning! Because I will now be in Austin the majority of the time, it will be much easier to get into the gym :) Which I am very excited. I have already asked Jesse to keep me accountable this week, because I WILL be working out at Westlake Crossfit EVERYDAY! Monday-Friday and hopefully on Saturday morning as well. I look forward to seeing everyone, and coaches, go easy on me!! I will want to lift heavy weights, but please make sure I dont :) :)
Also, congratulations to Kayla Whalan of Westlake Crossfit who is getting her Crossfit Certification this weekend :) Good luck, we are all so proud of you!!!
