Is it over yet?
Monday I went to belly dance class and she worked us over good. Really, really fast, aerobic workout. Still, it probably would have been fine except I went home and sat on my bed (cross-legged) to work on a (ultimately failed) beading project. I think this aggrivated my back, hip, or leg somehow.
Tuesday, on the way to work, I noticed my right leg felt funny. Kind of numb and sore at the same time. This is the leg that bothered me when I had my back problems (I had a herniated disk removed at 20), and sometime I have some issues when I get lazy. A few rounds of sit-ups usually helps snap everything back in place (nobody mention a chiropractor, please, I will never go to one owing to the fact that if I had - as people suggested - gone to one back then instead of a neurosurgeon, there's a chance I'd be partially paralized now). So I did, plus went for my lunchtime walk, but it still felt bad.
Wednesday, when I first woke up, I felt great. But by the time I got to work I realized I'd never be able to sit down all day. So I grabbed a box and elevated my workstation, and stood up all day. Now, I know I've had jobs in the past where I had to do that, but I a definitely not in the right kind of shape to do it now. Props to all of you who can. It killed my legs and I had the choice of sitting and making my leg feel funny and standing and causing excruciating pain. Yay, choices!
Thursday I said screw it, I hate you, too, body. I sat down all day, but got up every 15 minutes of so to stretch (have I mentioned my hamstrings felt like over-tightened piano wires?). At lunch I went for a walk. After work I went to my belly dancing class, then spent two hours in the pool (mostly just bobbing around, but there was some swimming). Surprisingly, by the end of the day I wasn't dead!
Today, other that a lingering burning and soreness in my legs, and a sharp, stabbing pain in my right hindquarter, I'm fabulous. Ballroom dancing tonight! Whooo-hoooo! The sad thing is, through all of this work, I seriously doubt I've even lost any weight...
