As those that have been getting the sneak preview know, I lost 3 pounds this past week. That's 13 so far. Yesterday was a day off, and today was a leg workout day, so I've been able to rest my pulled muscle. Tomorrow is Thursday, which is basketball day--shoot from the 3-point line, get rebound, shoot, repeat until shot is made. If the ball goes out of bounds--including over the half-court line--it's penalty time. Penalty is half-court shuttle runs, 3 times down and back. This keeps me from just phoning it in and not chasing rebounds. Once shot is made--or penalty is assessed--return to 3-point line and start again. That gets exhausting fast.
Anyway, for today's side note, I thought I'd talk about life with a pulled trapezius. Monday was horrible. I spent the whole rest of the day in pain, even with downing ibuprofen as fast as (or possibly faster than) the bottle recommends. Sleeping that night was fun. My normal sleep schedule involves waking up every couple hours to change positions then going back to sleep. With severe pain every time I moved my right arm or my head, changing positions was near impossible, as was getting up in the morning. The pain got better as the day went on, but shortly before Salt, I had to take some more ibuprofen. Sleeping last night wasn't too bad, and I woke up mostly pain-free. However, the pain has recently come back, so I'm hoping that goes away again soon. If I'm feeling bad when I wake up, I might just skip working out and only go to classes and such, though it might be that sleeping makes it better, and then doing everyday stuff aggravates it. Friday, I'm going to skip the workout in favor of going home to get ready for the retreat.
