Yesterday, I went back to the gym. My CrossFit coach did not allowed me to do the workout of the day (WOD), many thrusters and cleans were involved, though I intended to stay low on the weights. She said that I need more time to get back normal, and she wants to make sure my back is OK, before I go back to CrossFit or Olympic Weightlifting. She is right, I appreciate her point of view, after and/or during a back injury, probably not the best idea to get back on a high reps, timed Olympic Weightlifting activity.
Well, I tried some rowing as a warm up, then I went back to the global gym concept. I have not done it very long time ago, so at this time it was not boring. I must say that I even enjoyed it. I tried to do my best and I did a full lower body workout on my legs, I did at least 4-5 sets of 6-8 reps with increasing weights, with minimal rest time. At the same time I paid attention to my form, but with machines it is much easier. Today, I can feel some light soreness, so I feel that I did something good.
After my workout, my other CrossFit coach did help me to do some mobility exercise for my lower back. It looked totally surrealistic, but helped a lot and I felt much better. Obviously it is a very good idea to spend more time on mobility, so I will go for it.
Today I measured myself, my weight decreased to 192.2; on the Omron body fat monitor body fat percentage is: 27.5. My body fat scale reading gave me a body fat percentage of 34.3, water percentage: 41.1 and bone percentage of 7.3. Usually I combine these two body fat readings: 30.9%. Obviously, I lost some lean muscles, not so great, but I try to prevent it.

Feeling really bad, longer than a month ago - on Valanetine's day - my lower back got injured due to some weight lifting with wrong form. Since that my lower back is not OK at all.
I kept going back to the gym after a few days rest, when I felt a little better, and unfortunately my injury got worst. I mean it always came back and my results got much worse in the gym, so I was and I am still disappointed.
I went to see a doctor, my general practitioner. She is kind and nice, but without any X-ray or CT, she said that I have SI joint pain and I should stop with my exercise regiment for a while. This is my second week out of the gym, and I am really depressed. I am not sure there are no discs involved in my injury, I might need to figure out where and how to get a CT or MRI scan, but here in The Netherlands, my GP needs to give me a referral, but she does not think I need any of these scans.
I keep taking NSAID drugs for the inflammation, and I feel a little bit better. However, I do not dare to go back to the gym yet. I want to be healthy and 100% again. I miss my workouts, some of my friends suggested me to sign up for yoga or pilates classes, but I just cannot do those. I appreciate people who love those movements, but I am very bad at them, and I only enjoy CrossFit. I know for that I need to pay more attention to my form, and care less about timing or good results. I promised to myself in the future I will do that... I won't force the RX workouts, I will scale down some of my workouts and lifting weights in order to save my form.
I am annoyed, because of my back. In the last couple of weeks I was eating all the bad foods and it might sound strange, but at least I really enjoyed their taste. Yes, they were my comfort foods. I do want to be someone who loves to eat clean and never thinks of bad foods, but I do. I guess people who say that food restrictions never work are right. Now time to get back on track, but I might need to try a different approach, when it comes to my diet. I need to find my motivation again.

On Valentine's Day I got a lower back injury. It is my mistake, I did my workout with too heavy weight, and I did not pay attention to my lifting technique and I over extended my back, since that my lower back hurts. In the first two days I hardly could get up without any help. It happened before, but it never lasted this long.
For today it is a little bit better, but still very far from perfect, when I do not feel pain at all. I guess it will take at least an another week or two to feel totally OK. Due to this injury and the ongoing severe pain, I did not do my best on my diet. I quit even counting calories and I was eating sometimes really bad types of carbs, but finally I got back on the track yesterday. Last week due to my injury I was able to do only three workouts, and I used moderate weights 30kg, instead of 45kg. Surprisingly, running feel so good, it is totally pain free activity. I never thought I would say something like this, because I am definitely that type of person, who hates running.
My weight increased with 1.4 lbs, it is 193 lbs at the moment. My Omron body fat monitor shows 27,1%, which means my body fat percentage decreased a little bit with 0.1% and my lean body mass increased with 1.4 lbs. Well, sounds a little bit suspicious, I do not think these numbers are correct.
Usually I do two body fat readings, the other always higher (it is a new body fat monitor). It showed 34.3% of body fat, 41.19% water, 38.9 % muscle, and 7.4% bone. Most of the time I count their average, since I have this new scale, but I keep making notes on my old type of body composition measurements too. The average of the two measurements is: 30.7%.
