I went into the YMCA this morning thinking that I had swim lessons, and the aquatics director, Kimberly, came and found me & told me that I didn't have swim lessons today, so I went ahead and unpacked my gym bag & headed back to the office. I had my husband work on my back, and we found out that I had a rib head out under my rhomboid/shoulder blade area and that was what was causing my shoulder problem. The other issue that he saw was that my left leg was turning out. He said that I needed to work on the adductor muscle to correct this problem. When he adjusted my rib head, the shoulder pain went away. It felt so good!!!
I headed back to the gym around noon-ish to workout with Renee & we did 15 minutes of cardio, and then we did some rehab on my shoulder and worked on the adductors to help turn my left foot in. While we working the adductors, I was talking to Renee about why I think my left leg turns out. Since I was carrying around all of this weight for 10 years, I have had to change how I walked, moved, etc. We were doing leg lifts one day and I know that with the excess weight and I couldn't lift my leg straight up, I have to kind of swing it around to pick it up. When I started to do squats and my stomach was definitely getting in the way, I have had to turn my leg out to get the full movement. Sad, so sad!!!
We also went over my 2 week food journal and we went through that as well. I definitely have a salt/sweet issue, and because of work, I eat out a lot. And even though I work a lot, that isn't an excuse to eat out. I need to pack my lunch, or buy a bunch of those Healthy Choices to keep in the freezer so that I don't eat out.
Here is my food journal entry for today:
Breakfast- 8:15 am
Bowl of Special K cereal
Coffee
Lunch- 11:35 am
Healthy Choice Tortellini Primevera Parmesan
