Went back to PT today. 6-12 weeks of stretching 1-2 times a day before I can move up to strengthening exercises.

The bright side is, it shouldn't be so hard to fit the 25 minute stretching sessions into my schedule. That's a little more manageable than what I've done in the past.

She seems pretty confident I'll be back to being able to lift weights like I have in the past so I'm excited🌺

Some reasons I look forward to working through my physical therapy journey:

Being able to weight lift again

Being able to play basketball again

Can work twards my pilates certification

Being able to run around various places without experiencing pain the following days

Feeling strong again

Getting to do my favorite warm up exercise again

Exercise is a celebration of what your body can do, not a punishment for what you ate. 💖💕

We often hear it’s good to treat yourself (and I agree!!), but you don’t really get pats on the back for doing healthy stuff. So this is my good job for anyone who is making healthy choices, even if they’re not fun! 👏

You know your workout was good when you feel a bead of sweat dropping down your stomach half way through it

eat well and exercise because you love your body, not because you hate it

In the saga “coffee pots and productivity”: Busy is not a badge of honor !

You don’t have to be exhausted, overworked, to be worthy of respect.

You don’t need to be in constant search for the sacrosanct productivity to deserve praise.

In a society that puts our value in our hability to work, it’s important to remember that our worth is not our productivity.
