Lesson Learned!

Sometimes I wonder why I do the things I do. Is it the drive to prove that I can (even though I shouldn't) or to see how far my body can go before it says enough is enough. Maybe it's just plain old stupidity. Yep, that's probably it. So, I should explain myself. Went into the weekend feeling good, but knowing that my lower back was out. Slept in a hotel bed and woke up barely moving. Went to my chiropractor Monday morning and chilled the rest of the day. Should have stayed away from lifting today, but no, had to go and do. Started off fine with some frontsquats. Wasn't truly feeling the love there so switched to backsquats. That felt much better until my second rep at 165#. Should have stopped then, but again no. Went for that third rep and really regret it now. Left leg it totally numb and back is ok (as long as I don't move). Now I am sitting here, frustrated at myself and my body for not cooperating the way that they should. Will have to give the heavy lifting a break and try cardio again. Hopefully the throat issues will play to my favor. I do not want to "sit" this game out.
