So, I've been taking after Teri this last week too. We had some of David's family stay with us twice this last week. So, I didn't exercise and ate very well. Bummer. I was feeling a bit guilty after sitting hunched over Sabrina's DS with her for two hours, and so I decided to get off my fanny and go swimming. Well, my neck was already stiff and because of my guilt I decided to swim lots and lots of mini laps. (Which is all I can do in my pool.) Forward stroke one way, back stroke the other way. Even after David got the kids out of the pool, I still swam for another 30 minutes and only got out because my neck was really starting to hurt. Then, at 2:00AM I woke up and couldn't move my neck.. At all! Holy Moly, it was like whiplash that went halfway down my back. I was miserable for two days afterwards which resulted in more no exercise days.
Moral of the story: Don't overdue it because of guilt. It just causes you greater problems in the long run. (Trust me. I've done it lots of time and still can't learn my lesson.)
