I'm over the top happy with tonight. Not only am I happy that I hit 155lbs after 6 months of not going anywhere near that heavy, but I have very little actual back pain! I essentially deadlifted 100lbs to lift those 50lb DB and there was no pain! None. Tonight was the first night in months that I could touch my toes after training without feeling like my spine would snap. Tonight was the first night in months that I didn't have to stand with hot water on my back in the shower just to move freely.
I'm not sure if any of you will truly understand what it feels like to have pain lifted off of you after months and months of near constant I'm jury and strain. It's freeing. I feel rejuvenated and energized and strong. I'm not 100% pain free but what's left is totally manageable. I feel lighter.
I have no idea if this last tweak at the chiropractor did the trick, if the time off from lifting did it or even the work I was doing in the yard helped. Maybe it was all of that. I don't even know if this will last. But while I have the momentum I'm going to run with it. I won't do anything stupid to risk this healing that's going on, but I feel like I can push a little more to regain some footing that I lost. Tonight, I feel like I made up more than a few steps.
