So a friend of mine and I needed to get our butts moving. We picked a YouTube channel to follow and I created a schedule to follow. 3 workouts a week with bonus videos added in if we were feeling ambitious.
2 workouts in and we’re doing fantastic! Keeping each other accountable. We have to send a video to prove we’re doing it.
Then at 3:30 am yesterday morning, I woke up and moved wrong and a disc in my upper spine I dunno slipped? I felt it move and heard a POP! I couldn’t move my neck without excruciating pain!! Oh man. Honestly my first thought was “I’m not going to be able to workout!”
I’m so excited to have a workout buddy and to see results from our efforts. I was so disappointed! I resolved to see how the day went and perhaps tomorrow (today) I’d feel better. My chiropractor is closed all weekend due to Easter so I’m on my own with this one.
Well today I’m still hurting but not so much! I’m gonna give it a go. I’m sure there will be some moves that I can’t accomplish but there will be plenty I can.
So point being here…don’t give up. Don’t let a bulged/slipped disc stop you from your goals. Drink lots of water, take some Advil, stretch and rest so that tomorrow you can keep going!!
It’s so easy to use an excuse, and what better an excuse than this?! But I’m not going to let it stop me! I need this. My mental states needs it. My family needs it. I am determined to be the best me I can be.
I’d love to hear a time when you had a great excuse, but chose not to use it. Chose to persevere. Chose to be a better you!!
