Day 3, Post 1

Well yesterday and last night my pain was awful.
I decide to get some pharmaceutical help and the pain killer did nothing, but the muscle relaxer before bed really helped me get to sleep.

Side note/funny story of the day:
Last night I did a couple loads of wash and something about doing laundry really opens people up. This older lady in the laundry room decided to tell me her whole life story, some of which was interesting.
-She has lived in my apartment building longer than anyone else. 37 years. She moved in right after it was built in the late 70s.
-She married her husband when she was 16.
-She was married 47 years when her husband died last January.
-His body is still sitting at the coroners office pending a law suit against the hospital which let him bleed to death.
-She needs closure.

Pretty sad story . ..but anyway .... This morning I got up at 5ish and I was incredibly dissapointed to find out my hamstrings were still as tense and sore as the day before. I got dressed and went to bootcamp, relieved to know we would only be walk/run/jogging the lake. Haydee and ai were both in pain and gladly took last place, doing a total of 2 miles in 45 minutes. Every step hurt. Afterwards we did some arm strengthening excersizes with those rubber ropes with handles and a lot of crunches.

I got a ride with a really sweet southern lady who took me 1.5 blocks from work. I lucked out 3 days in a row! She was chatty too, turns out she was int he weight watchers program too and lost 10lbs.

In food news, I made a super yummy and somewhat healthy dinner last night with boneless, skinless chicken breast and rice and tomato. yum! I brought the leftovers today for lunch.

That's all I have for now . .. I am still in pain, but still glad to finally be excersizing!
