First Post, New Blog

This blog will cover my diet, workouts or lack there of, and (like most everyone else that does this...) random thoughts. I'm doing this to improve my own accountability. So let me catch you up...I'm in the midst of pretty much my worst injury ever... At the RKC level 2 I decided to give a beast pullup a try at the end of the certification. I didn't get set up adequately and felt something rip in my abdomen. It was an awful feeling, one of those times when you know you did something wrong. Here's the problem, any normal person would have gone to the hospital, gone directly to the hospital, do not pass go, do not collect $200, not me...Why you might ask? I don't have health insurance, it was at least the 30th time I wished I was Canadian. Based on the best guesses of a couple of docs and a dpt, i managed to tear my psoas, internal, external oblique, and a nice hole were my abs meet my ribs. The recommendation...crutches for at least 2-3 weeks, followed by nothing other than walking for another 6-8 weeks. I'd almost rather go to prison and have my body confined than be confined to my own body.

So now I'm left with at least an extra 5-10 hours a week to fill, my plan is to step up working on the business side of business and get prepared for starting my massage therapy license program. I'll also start planning out the timeline for my recovery, luckily I have a great network of health and fitness professional to consult with, hopefully I can be to full strength by early in the next year. Then it's time to go about pushing forward. I hate that this happened but it could always be worse, i have plenty of time and no rush to get anywhere but better.
