What a busy day!

It started with a trip to Angie, my massage/osteopath - we determined that the likely route to my troubles (left SI joint/hamstring, right shoulder/neck) is my C-section scars. This is not what I would have guessed is the problem, but after she explained about how the uterus protrudes through the pelvic floor, and the surgery interupted not only all my ab muscles but also the uterus which is connected to everything......so, simply - if the uterus is twisted or turned then everything else must compensate to allow for movement. Eventually everything overcompensates and gets SORE! This is where I am.

So, she worked on breaking down the scar (which HURTS) and then manipulated the hell out of my neck and shoulder muscles to work some of the stiffness out. It all ached off and on today, but now tonight its definately feeling better. I should have much improved mobility in my low back and hips. I return next Friday to hopefully complete this work.

Then, on to work where it was one of those day where I put my head down and the next time I lifted it 3 hours had passed! The good news was that I packed some really good eats today - including a protein power spiked smoothy for after the workout:

Workout today was good - Booty bootcamp on the waterfront:

and here I am looking ape-like jumping - is it just me, or do I have freakishy long arms in this picture?:

Have I ever mentioned how un-photogenic I am?? LOL! However funny that it, it's sadly also very true - ask anyone I know. There are almost no decent pictures of me. My eyes are closed, my face is red, my 'road map of wrinkles' is all you can see, etc. Its ok, I've learned to accept it! I'm 40! :)

After noon workout it was back to work where the afternoon flew by. Then run home, grabs the kids, walk the dogs around the block, and get dressed for a night meeting at Council. I was late, but it was ok as I knew I was last on the agenda. I wasn't required to answer any questions, I was there 'just in case'. Oh well, I earned me some good Over Time! Yeah!!

Now, I missed supper but I did eat a handful of almonds and a Cliff bar while I was at City Hall. When I got home I ate bed-time-snack with the kids - I had a bowl of Cherio's with fresh berries..mmmmm, comfort food all the way! :) I'm full, so I'm going to grab my book and hit the hay before the MUNCHIES attack!!

Nitey nite!
