Stayed Seated

This week has been totally upside down.

I didn't do my usual Friday workout of Combat, Pump, and Zumba. My shoulder pain is what mainly kept me from going - there was no way that I could do right hooks or clean and presses/shoulders. Once I decided not to go to the first two classes, I knew it was very unlikely that I would get to the third. At one point I thought I might battle the weekend crowd at the gym and do some cardio ... but seeing as it is almost 8 pm now and I've barely moved from my desk, that's not happening.

What can I say? Completing my abstract the upcoming Mexico conference as well as replying to several important emails took precedence, which basically means that I spent most of my day seated in front of my computer. Not ideal, but that was my reality today.

I do have to say that after resting the whole day and taking 2 painkillers, my shoulder is feeling much, much better ... hopefully I'll be completely ready for CrossFit tomorrow :)

  1. One thing after another right? Motivation, Vacation, Shoulder issue... I feel like I'm in a similar boat... Wish I had magic words to make the zeal happen. Keep truckin' lady.

  2. Interesting that my right shoulder was quite bothersome when I first started CrossFit. As were my knees and ankles. Everything feels better now as I have gotten more used to working different parts of my body and am getting stronger. I think CrossFit just takes some getting used to.

    1. I don't think that it's a serious injury, just a strain. I'm definitely not giving up and am looking forward to seeing improvement in my endurance and strength :)

  3. Some days are totally like that, I know how you feel.
    Make sure you look after that shoulder, other than a knee strain, shoulders are a pain, and yes, Pump can be brutal on a shoulder too.
    Look after yourself this weekend <3

    1. I know. I've learned to just accept those days that don't go according to schedule. It's life. I've just got to go with the flow :)
