I woke up yesterday morning with some pretty serious pain in my neck. I cannot turn my head to the left at all without it hurting. It feels like a muscle pull or strain or something - its terrible. I was hoping that it would be gone when I woke up this morning, but not even mildly better. So I woke up, got dressed and ready to go downstairs, realized that I was still a bit crabby from yesterday and decided that it would be in everyone's best interest if I went back to bed. So I went back to sleep for another 2 hours and I feel less crabby, but my neck is not in any less pain.
I worked out this morning after I made my phone calls instead. It works out pretty well - I can watch tv, the girls can play down there (although they tend to get in the way) and I'm done before I have to start lunch. I'm not thinking it is more ideal than getting up early in the morning, but it is definitely an option for days when I can't get going in the morning for some reason.
I'm hoping that some major stretching and alternating ice/heat will help my neck. I have no idea what is going on and where it is originating from - severely annoying when I'm driving especially. It didn't hinder my workout at all - I think it actually just forced me into having a bit better posture while doing my lifts (not necessarily better form, just better posture).
I did well with eating over the weekend. We had italian on Saturday night with the Fulmer's and the Grabinski's and then came back here for cheesecake. Yesterday did well, too, even though I went out shopping by myself (usually a bad situation and ends up with me buying a candy bar or some kind of bag of chips to eat in the car). I brought a banana and an apple with me for that situation and the only bad thing I ate was some almonds on the way home from Target. Had frozen pizza for dinner, another piece of cheesecake and I felt satisfied all around.
I don't crave sugar anymore and I'm not sure why. I feel like I can finally look at the candy by the counter of the store and not feel compelled to buy one - like I HAVE to have it. And I don't feel like I have to look at it, long for it and pass it up and wish I had it. I just simply haven't wanted it. So I feel good about that. I also didn't feel compelled to gorge myself at dinner on Saturday or all day on Sunday. I didn't finish my pasta Saturday night and I didn't struggle with myself to not take a second piece of cheesecake on Saturday night. These are all very good turnarounds in the way I am eating. I don't feel like I'm on a "plan" or a diet, but that I am choosing to eat healthy and am not depriving myself either. I don't know what happened or what the difference has been.
Also stuck to my 2 beers/weekend goal. 1 Saturday night and 1 Sunday night.
