Yesterday I went to my chiropractor for a much, much, much needed adjustment. While I was there the two of us had a long conversation on mind-body connection. I am a firm believer that what is going on in your head affects what is going on with your body. Negative thoughts are toxic. Your mind sends signals to your body through your nerves, if those nerves are toxic then your body reacts to those signals. Those signals could result in not feeling well, headaches, stomach aches, depression, joint pains, inflammation, etc.

Spring season….or as I like to call it “where did these guys come from?” season… is allllmost (ish?) upon us. All of a sudden the city streets are filled with pastel wearing, Barbour jacket sporting men, and it can be dangerous for a gal like me. You see pink shorts and bam you are hit by a taxi. But it is worth getting hit by the yellow ones if it means you get to be surrounded by men in spring clothing. ‘Tis the season!

Happy Friday!! I am at the end of my 4th week at Body Conceptions (who just launched their at home video series!!) and it is still kicking my behind! I have noticed I have more energy during classes but still am so sore. Earlier this week I must have over done it or tweaked something because Wednesday I could not move my neck or back. I basically spent the entire day laying on ice and/or a lacrosse ball, using IcyHot, taking Advil, and crying on the phone to my mom that I hurt. I don’t know what I did but my God it was awful. I finally at one point made myself get out of the house because I had to run an errand…. then some not so nice woman body checked me on the street because I was in her way. Not.A.Good.Day. BUT my week started to look much, much better come Thursday.
