Workout

when health pulls the brakes

I was all set to beat the crap out of myself at the gym last night in an effort to increase my participation rate for MMM.  That was the plan...until I took a deep breath to check in with myself, and I had to admit that my ribs were whimpering.  It may be that I did, in fact, pull something a couple of days ago in intenSati and aggravated it in yoga.  It may also be a spike in my fibromyalgia triggered by my Celiac.  Whatever it is, after a minute of quiet reflection, I realized that I needed to reel it in a bit and that pushing my body at that moment would not be in my best interest.  I was determined to get some activity in, though, so I walked for 30 minutes from the office to Columbus Circle.  Then I hopped on the train, made myself a nice supper, popped a couple Motrin and a muscle relaxer (all doctor approved, I promise) and was in bed by 10:30.  I wouldn't say I feel 100% this morning, but I do feel better and think the rest did my body a world of good.
