Hi! This is a little long but I wanted to post to:
1. Share my home gym that I am very lucky to have (my dad found the treadmill in someone’s trash)!! It’s new so I can’t wait to continue to grow it 🥰
2. I’m feeling compelled to share what I’ve been going thru lately because maybe someone can relate!!!
In May I was having upper back/shoulder/neck pain that seemed to be caused by the temporary bed I had to sleep in. I couldn’t pinpoint what exactly was wrong and so for months when I thought it was getting better I would try to do my get salty sessions and lift weights and then it would be worse so I would have to take a break and I was stuck in this cycle. Luckily, yoga actually helped the pain so I was able to stay active but essentially was doing no weight training. It wasn’t until August that I finally decided to a see a chiropractor and found out I had a pinched nerve in my back. So that took about a month to fix and then slowly get back into my old workout routine (wasn’t successfully able to do this until September/October). By that time I was having some hormonal issues - irregular cycle, increased anxiety and depression. I then saw a PCP to make sure everything was ok (it was). Now that I’m back to my get salty workouts and lifting heavy I have made such a 180. Jenny talking about how important it is for us to lift heavy and just show up is SO TRUE. I don’t have much other explanation for how I feel so much better (but I did start therapy too 😉). Hope everyone has a salty weekend!! 🧂
