DAY 258 OF 365: BACK WITH THE TIP OF THE WEEK

So I have been swamped at the office and working crazy hours again. But I have still made it to the gym and have continued to live my healthier lifestyle. I just had to take a break from blogging. Those few minutes a night that I would normally blog, I used for extra time sleeping. It helped! But here is my tip of the week. If you are working out extensively and lifting weights such as myself, then I suggest a monthly massage, and a deep tissue massage at that. I went for a deep tissue massage today to workout all the kinks and soreness and holy shit was I tight. The first half hour of the massage was spent with the therapist kneading out all the kinks and knots in my back. At one point I wanted to cry but afterwards I never felt better. The point is, when we lift weights we are tearing muscle in order to build muscle. It is important that we stretch out after working out and if you can afford it, get a massage once a month. If I could afford it, I would be getting one once a week, but, I have to pay the bills. Well, I am off to bed. I spent today at the office and I will be back there tomorrow. And to top it off, fall is really here. I had forgotten what 65 degrees felt like. I actually had to pull out the jeans and light weight jacket today. Till tomorrow.
