Counter-intuitive progress

Bacon wrapped egg muffins
Day 9 - January 9, 2012


I woke up once again barely able to move. My back was still super stiff and painful. To the point where I called the chiropractor and decided to work from home today. Some adjusting later (and boy did I need it) I was still sore, but could definitely feel that my foundation was better. I talked to Murph and he said he had a plan for me to be able to workout tonight, so off to CCP I went. Actually it didn't go too badly. Now that I'm home and fed, my back actually feels pretty good! Weird. I guess the combination of chiropractic care, movement, and mobility did wonders! Who'da thunk!?


Food:
Breakfast - two egg muffins (sun dried tomatoes, peppers, onions, egg, bacon), small banana
Lunch - leftover ham-stuffed chicken, trail mix of cashews pecans raisins and dark choc chips
Snack - leftover bacon wrapped dates
Dinner - avocado bacon cheeseburger, sweet potato fries, four dark kisses


Workout:
I: Warmup - 500m row
II: 5 rounds of 10 ring rows, 10 air squats, 10 pushups (knees) with 2 minutes rest ... 13:20 (note: I felt strong tonight. I know this was scaled for my pain, but I was able to go mostly unbroken for the first two rounds)
III: 10 minutes light rowing (1740m)
IV: couch stretch, childs pose, cat/cow, forward bends
