Discouraged

Here I am pretty discouragedL. My shoulder has decided to start causing me more grief than usual. I’ve found myself back to a point where the simplest things are causing me pain and/or numbness. Holding a coffee cup (I know it’s not good for me anyway) and even vacuuming are proving to be a challenge (I’d say too bad on the vacuuming, but I like a clean house). This weekend our family took off for some quading, one of my favorite things to do, and even the steering and slight vibration were enough to cause numbness and suck all the strength in my arms. I have found myself getting little rest and even less sleep than usual and my body is starting to revolt.

I’m finding it pretty hard to and very discouraging to keep up with where I want to be with my challenges and my training. I’m finding things that worked at one time to relieve pain and increase strength are getting to be less effective, so I’m not sure where to go from here??? I am to a point where I have decided I may have to adjust some of my challenges a bit to keep them realistic and attainable and at the same time work to getting my body up to snuff. Quitting is not an option, just need to learn where I may need to step back and where I need to change my training and hopefully work on being able to get a good nights sleep.

Off to see if I can get in a little nap.
