We haven't done a bicep shot in a while. I thought, "what the heck" and gave her a go! LOL
My average lows this week have me sitting at 113.0, which sits perfectly within this girl's weight range.
Measurements still the same
25 inches around the waist
31 around the high hip area
I think I'm 33 or 34 around the low hip area, but honestly I don't pay much attention to that measurement, because it reminds me I have no a$$, LOL
Let's not even get into my chest measurement. We'll just say I'm thankful I'm not a AA instead of an A and at least one can build up the "peck" area...and we'll just leave it at that
Anyhow, I really want to find a little time to document recovery methods. I'm actually utilizing a lot of these methods right now, regarding some nerve pain I'm dealing with in my neck and shoulder blade area.
Part of it may be due to rotator cuff issues I have in both arms, and the other part may be MS related, because random nerve pain is indeed, a part of the package. Especially, if there's been damage to the spinal cord, and of course I do have a itty bitty little lesion sitting on the thoracic area of my spine.
In the meantime I can at least put down what I currently use to help recover and essentially prep for pre and post workouts.
1. Warm up and cool down stretches for pre and post workout
2. A whole day devoted to mobility using "rollers" and a session of hatha yoga.
3. Wim Hoff breathing method in addition to one daily Hot/Cold shower, usually couched post workout
4. Power Plus Percussion massage gun (a.k.a., the hammer)- Usually every other day
5. Beam - a CBD/melatonin mix used for sleep. Usually taken the night before an intense workout
And, the newest edition
6. FAB CBD gummies - I gotta admit this girl really likes her CBD. But, I'll expand on that one later
7. Ibuprofin - I try to keep this one as rare as possible. It can really do a number on the kidneys and liver if taken to often. If I do take it, it's only one. On average I may get in 1 Ibuprofin a week if that says anything.
8. BCAA's
9. Glucosomine for joint care
10. CBD Liberty Lotion - I don't use this one often either. It's topical, potent, and works really well. But, unless I'm dealing with some deep muscle and nerve issues - usually everything else above takes care of it.
Needless to say, Mom has been slathering the Liberty Lotion around the shoulder blade area to help with the nerve pain I have now. I'm about 85% healed, but have little ways to go.
Enjoy your Saturday, everyone! It's time for protein pancakes and coffee!
