not much but lots

i've been unmotivated to post anything. i've been training quite a bit, i've had a few really good weeks, one kind of crappy week, another good week and now on a rest week. beginning of the month i went to the pt for my ass, and this was my diagnosis:
L5/S1 facet joint inflammation with weakness in that nerve distribution, left posterior pelvic rotation, adductor magnus and piriformis strain, and sacrotuberous ligament sprain secondary to muscular strain.
so what sucks about this is that was feb 2, and my back still hurts. the periformis stuff is fine, just gotta really stretch it really well and it seems ok, but the back stuff blows. no pain or discomfort AT ALL running or biking, some sorta while swimming which seems odd to me and then mostly just after i have been sitting at my desk for any period of time. i've been going to PT every week and it isn't really getting better. not worse, a little different maybe and but not better. wtf.
AND then, my wrist is totally fawked again. same level of pain and discomfort than before. maybe even more. i have to go back to the surgeon and get it figured out. i told the pt that i was pretty sure the wrist and back were related. she wasn't so sure about that.
i'm trying to be a little healthier. lunch at work has been big spinach salads, with snacks of carrots, apples, grapes and bananas and stuff. and ok, the daily trip to the candy dish. ok, sometimes twice daily trip. grrr. i haven't broken myself of that, but trying. and i have found chia seeds! allie suggested them to me and i love them! i want to eat them all the time, totally trying to figure out what i can mix them into - can i put them on my peanut butter and jelly sandwich? can i accidentally OD on them? i do love them.
i have worn the black skinny jeans/pants a few times and love them. i wore them with my old lady, sensible healed tall boots. i asked the PT if the boots could have caused the back problem since i wore them for the first time around the onset, she said probably not since the heel is sooooo low. and i finally got new clogs! i am keeping the old one as my gardening, mud clogs and the new ones are my work / dress up clogs. the stitching was starting to go, the soles had worn down, and there were big giant holes, which i didn't think was possible, but the new ones feel so good! i know - super exciting news, huh?
the kids have been good, cute as always. sirus is so funny and sweet. he says the funniest things and his reading is coming along. he is super excited about learning and does such a great job. seamus is really into fairies, all her books are about fairies and she draws them non stop. i love her drawings, so much detail and so cute. they remind me of what i used to draw when i was little, i try to save them all!

more compliments that aren't really

i went to the PT today because my left sit bone has been bothering me and my lower back a little, too.
while she was digging into my arse muscles she said "we have to get rid of some of this muscle tone." to which i said - WHAT?? she said "you have too much tone" to which i said "that's what i want for my arse!" and she said "oh, but sometimes there is bad muscle tone and that is what we need to get rid of." Had she started with "you have too much tone" i would have most certainly replied with "thank you."
I did go on to tell her about my other recent compliments though.
i found out that not only is my arse too toned for my own good, my left big toe is very much weaker than my right big toe. who knew, but apparently its actually related to my super toned arse.
