Working things out

I'm in my 4th week of swimming. I definitely believe it is beneficial. For one thing, I motivated my bump on a log hubby to join me. He's just recovered from some health issues and sits at his computer at work most of the day. He definitely needs to do some kind of exercise. He decided to join me and says he immediately felt benefits.

I too feel benefits. After the first couple sessions tension in my neck and shoulders eased up, along with the pain that goes with it. Unfortunately, my body contorts to maintain functionality. I upset the apple cart. When the upper tension relaxed, the lower magnified. By the end of the second week, by low back was so locked up I literally could not stand up straight. So I decided to visit the chiropractor. She worked my entire spine over pretty good. Everywhere she touched hurt and after it continued to hurt, but I was able to stand upright. I kept swimming. Yesterday I went for a follow-up adjustment and today I swam again. I'm still not 100% but I do think my body is working things out. I'm optimistic!

Since this is a blog about weight issues, should I mention I bought a bag of truffles and ate three this evening. Chocolate is supposed to be healthy, right? Hum, do I expect this blog to be like some kind of Catholic confession? By publishing my sin, am I absolved? Will the calories vanish? Guess I need to work out more than just physical issues.
