11/15/2017 1 Comment WEEK 9-GETTING FARTHER Welcome back bloggers to week nine! These past few weeks are going to go by pretty slow because all I am trying to do is get my leg a little higher each week so I can accomplish a needle. Weeks seven and eight I didn't put any pictures because all I was doing was stretching but I am going to put a picture on this weeks so you guys should see a drastic change from week six to week nine. Since about week six I have started eating better and exercising more in the hope that it will improve my flexibility. I have noticed from exercising more that it is a little bit easier to stretch and pull my leg because my muscles aren't tight anymore. Whenever I try to do my needle when my muscles are tight it is very painful. It is just easier if I get my muscles loose before I try to do anything or else I am afraid that I'm going to injury myself.
For about the last week I haven't been keeping up the with stretching that I need to. Part of the reason is because last week on Friday I went to the doctor because I had been feeling very tired lately and it turned out that I had mono. Mono is a virus that makes you have extreme fatigue and just not feeling up to anything. This caused me not to want to do as many stretches as I needed to and not to exercise as much. But I cannot blame this whole problem on me having mono because some of it is just lack of motivation. So, last week in order to get more motivated I started going to bed a little earlier so that I could have enough energy to do my stretches at the end of the day and eating a full breakfast before school every morning. Since I started doing this last week I have felt more energy to want to do thing and I also stepped up my exercising. Starting last week I have done fifteen minutes worth of stretching and forty minutes everyday of some exercising. For my exercising somedays I do full body workouts just to get a lot of my muscles loose and then somedays I do light workouts just to get my heart pumping. I have found hat exercising has helped quite a bit with my needle and I am going to keep up this routine until after my twelfth week. Two weeks ago I found that my leg was getting much higher than before. My leg is not quite straight behind my legs but it is getting there. Every week I am trying to get my leg a little higher than before so that I can ensure that I get my needle. If I don't get my needle then I am going to be very disappointed with myself because I have worked very hard this past couple of weeks. This week I accomplished a big step because I got my leg very far behind my head. It is almost to the point where it is straight but it is not there yet. I still have a lot of stretching that I need to get done before I can obtain my goal of getting a needle. I worked very hard this week and I intend to do the same for the next few weeks. See you guys on week ten!
