What A Week...

The last week has been filled with a TON of highs and lows. I don't even know where to start. So, I'm going to start with apologizing for not keeping up with the blog over the last few days. I have been bombarded with things I had to do for school and work. I have also had to get my training in which at times can be challenging as well. So, I will attempt to keep up from this point forward.

Major struggles for the week....SCIATICA. Actually, my periformis was likely inflamed and was phucking with my sciatic nerve. That ishT is no joke! Anyhoo... I got a killer massage and have been stretching it out so I'm all good!!!  I also had some tough but beneficial struggles in the gym. Returning to the old split program has been a struggle but I think those struggles will be short lived. D.F.C. took a break from our normal splits for 7 weeks to complete another training program and now that we have returned to them, some challenges have presented themselves. However, THERE ARE NO PUNKS IN MY CREW!!! We cut through challenges like butta. Period.

Yesterday's Arm Day was great! My pre-workout and performance aminos were on point! I was probably the guys' source of entertainment last night, but I didn't mind. This morning I had a great Back Day! I did the entire routine with the exception of my favorite...deadlifts. That's only because of this periformis thing. Although, I don't have any pain, I felt "that feeling" when I was performing bent over rows. So, I figure I  will allow it to rest until the next back day. I can't risk being injured.

I started running as planned and I think every day that I run, the run gets better and easier. I walked yesterday (periformis again) but I'm going to get a couple of miles in tomorrow (light jog) just to test the ol' leg out. LOL! Only 2 miles though no matter what, then I'm off to the gym to get my Chest Day WORK!!! done. Chest is starting to climb on my list of favorites. I am really trying to improve my up body strength and Chest Day is definitely helping me out with that.

I know I started this post saying that there were a lot of HIGHS and lows for this week and here are the lows:
     1. My frequent (3-4 days a week) training with D.F.C. is changing. I will likely get 1 or maybe 2 days with them at this point. I'm very happy that I will be getting that but feel really bad simply because...The guys NEED me! No, seriously, I don't know what they are going to do without me! I mean, they depend on my so much for so many things and the change in the amount of time I spend with them may be just too much for them to bear. I really can't tell you who will miss me the most. I would have to say they will all be devastated. Well, I will definitely have to check in on them to make sure they are okay.

     2. The death of PRINCE. :-(

On that note... Take time to tell the people you love that you love them. I know this is sometimes hard for many people to do (and for many reasons) but I would hate for myself or for you to experience losing someone that you love without ever telling them so. I will also take this challenge and tell the people I love in person. Life it a short but beautiful thing. Love hard.

Luv you!
