IT'S FITNESS DAY....
I slept in a bit...and was so PUMPED that I got to go back to CrossFit Big D to finally participate as an athlete again. I practically danced about my apartment....
...at least as much as one can dance with their arm strapped on their body.
I got my workout bag together and loaded up my preworkout and protein. I headed into Dallas for the noon class.
I was able to get my shoes on and tie them all by myself. I was a little stuck in terms of putting my hair up. So, I did ask one of our top athletes, Audra, for help with this matter. I did feel a little silly, like when I was in 1st grade and had no idea how to put up my newly long hair. But, I was also humbled that she would help me out.
....oh, the AirDyne. We are going to be friends for the next 4 weeks... best friends...
Chase seemed, a bit too excited to welcome me back with a workout. I told him that the doc wanted me to stick to the bike.... and I ended up doing three workouts of which two of them involved the airdyne... and... other stuff that I haven't been technically cleared to do.. whooooooooops... haha.
Felt good to be back.

Oh my gosh. The Mood boost from the endorphins just gave me such joy. Even with my arm strapped on my body, I felt like me again!
I came home, showered, ate some lunch and went to Physical Therapy. My awesome PT Brandie was not exactly thrilled to learn that I did more than the exercise bike. But, she was excited to hear that I wasn't in pain. I am making progress and PT gets easier and easier.
Came home, grabbed my stuff for school and headed out to Mass and my marketing class.
There was a pretty entertaining moment when I had to explain my Nun (Arabic letter) tattoo to my classmates, 50% of whom are Saudi Arabian.
...no I don't have the alphabet tattooed on me...
Luckily, they also disliked ISIS. So, they thought it was interesting.
One of my group mates Mohammed saw my giant Crucifix and wanted to hold it. I was shocked. He said it was beautiful and took a picture of it. I was not expecting that.
Nailed the final presentation. Four classes for my major down... several to go. Now all I have for the semester is wrapping up Pastoral Administration... which I have already done all but two assignments for.
All day, I have been clutching the cross that Sylvia gave me last night. I need that physical reminder that Christ is with me. I even slept with Him in my sling.
As I am winding down, I can't wait for tomorrow to come again. I get to go to Mass AND fitness. I get to keep this up!
My next appointment with Doc Krisnan is on Thursday. My 30th birthday. To celebrate, I am getting my staples out and then stopping by to see Hope... who is going to totally make my scar start to magically disappear.
But yes, Jesus is with me... and He will continue to live in my sling until need be.
