Went to gym this am for cardio. Plan was 15 minutes treadmill, elliptical and bike. I actually only did 15 minutes treadmill then decided to do 15 minutes on the stairmill. What a mistake! Hamstring was KILLING me!!! UGH again! I'm really losing my flexibility in that left leg so it is, unfortunately, strictly elliptical time for me.
Just home from getting a much needed massage. OK so you HAVE to hear this story. I wanted to get a massage. My nurse has been going to this ritzy salon to get hers. So, I call hoping that perhaps there was a slim chance I could get one TODAY since I'm off 1/2 days on Wednesday. OK, "yes, actually Cathy has a 330pm opening." WOO HOO. I said, "now I know you'll say they are all good, but I like a good deep tissue massage, is this Cathy good with that??" "oh yeah! You'll leave feeling like you got hit by a mack truck." AWESOME, I'll take it!
So, I go to this high faluting salon. Fill out paperwork, since I'm new. Then, I see this old African American lady come out from the back. She shuffles when she walks. She walks up to the desk, talks to the receptionist and then comes over to me. "Uhhh, Cathy??" So, I go back with her and I'm thinking OMG! You have got to be kidding me. This woman looks like she's 70.
To make a long story short, this short old frail looking woman gave me a 1 1/2 hour massage (I only asked for 60 minutes)that ranks probably up around one of the best massages I've ever had!! Wait, thats not all!! When she saw that I was a Physician Assistant, she asked me if I was taking new patients and now she's transferring her records to me.
LOL BUT WAIT...haha, when she was massaging me she asked me if I was married, etc etc. When I said no, she said "you have got to be kidding me?!?! I know the perfect guy for you!!!" Little matchmaker too.
Ahh, I feel better. Need to drink lots of water. Meals were ON today!! Kicking some bootay!! Yeah!!!
OK, off to relax a bit then eat some dinner.

M1: eggwhites, oatmeal, flax, 1 tbs pb2
M2: turkey, asparagus
M3: chicken, mixed veggies

Sorry about your hammy, that sux!

:D Good job today..miss cappaccino!!
Looks like your getting on track! Have fun with your friend, hope it went well!
LOL on the massage Suz! That's an awesome story. AND you even got a guy contact to pursue LOL! (*kidding*)!
The strength of some people amaze me, - such as a 5 years ago when I did a season of strawberry picking in Eastern Aussie for 4 months. The young people often lasted a day or 2, or maybe 1 hour but quit cause of a sore back, hard work and the unemployment benefit seemed more appealing to them. Or they didn't turn up on the first day it rained and were sacked.
It was the hardcore oldies 60 plus who had been doing it every season for 10 years 8 hours a day that were the most reliable, some even could hardly walk straight from the bent over bum up position required to pick the strawberries.
I've done lots of similar work and holiday and weekend work while growing up so doing the season wasn't a prob for me LOL.
Anyway, - sorry about your hamstring, - sounds annoying. I'm not an elliptical fan either. Have an AWESOME weekend with Kate!
