First Injection....

Got a handsome chauffeur to take me to get my ESI shot (epidural steroid injection) in my lower back today. 
I'm so so ready to be out of pain... and get to workout like I want again! Praying this brings relief.

(At this point I had been having pain around the clock, but nighttime and when I first woke up was the worst)

Modify, modify, modify!

What do you do when your back is not well enough to do the regular scheduled WOD? You make up your own. 3 rounds for time.

*Run= 100 m. 

*Box= 20" Box Step ups

*PP= 35# Push Press

Those who workout together...stay together

Great way to wrap up a fun weekend with this man. First workout together in years. Whew! This was one sweaty workout!

Hand rips

Apparently this is a badge of honor and I guess the price I pay for doing 95 pull ups (with a thin band) in the past 2 days.

On the bright side thanks to the encouragement of a couple of my coaches I gave pull-ups without a band a try, and I actually got 2 of them for the first time in my life! ‪#‎goals‬ ‪#‎nevereverquit‬ ‪#‎ouch‬

This is what I live by! 

New Career

Day one at my new career with State Farm is in the books.

(It was at this point that my back started to bother me a bit more and and I was taking pain pills around the clock to keep the pain and bay and try to look normal)

Do it anyway

Good sweaty Sunday morning... err, I mean afternoon workout in February!
My back might be giving me issues keeping me off my road bike, I may not feel like leaving the house to get on the spin bike at the gym and I may not feel like eating right.

But I got out, I got my workout on and I'm gonna eat right. Why? Cause I know what doesn't work. And I'm ready to see what happens when I do it right and don't give up when life throws hiccups at me.
Have a happy Sunday friends! Start the week right!

Brrrrr!

The cool news.... I've lost almost half of Sierra's body weight in pounds over the past 2 yrs...28lbs to be exact.
The bad news.... I'm cold all the time now without all that extra insulation! When is summer gonna get here!??
