Muscle cramps meet "THE STICK"

I have mentioned how I get MAJOR muscle cramp in my calves when I workout without eating a banana, right? Well, it's true! My body is weird, and needs the quickly avaliable potassium released in the banana in order to maintain proper muscle function. (or at least that's what I THINK is going on...)

I mentioned this to Wendy (my PT) and she suggested I get "the Stick"... has anyone ever heard of this massage tool? It looks AMAZING! I think it's EXACTLY what my freaky little calf muscles need to help break up all that lactic acid and what not from exercising. I got so excited when I found it on EBAY (for $25.00) that I bought one!!! The 17" travel Stick. I will definitely have a review once I get it and try it out a few times. My sore muscles can barely wait!!! PS... the website says it works GREAT for Fibromyalgia sufferers too!!! www.thestick.net/awards.htm#fms

Needing another massage, or something!

Anyone know anything about neck kinks??? I'm still in pain in my neck... even after a 45 minute massage on Wednesday. I feel a bit jipped! I don't know what my neck needs right now to feel better. Rest? I'm getting lots of that. Ice? I will try that today. Maybe Heat!?!? Do you think applying some heat to my neck muscles it will help them hear faster?

Here's hoping I have a better weekend then week that I've been having!

Massages are so 'ahhhhhh'!

I went for my massage today. Why don't I do that more often? MAN, it feels good! (Especially good this time with the neck kink and all) I'm feeling quite a bit less stressed already! And I wished I'd looked into this sooner because little did I know that the gym I go to gives staff rates on masages also!

DAYUM, I feel like I've hit the jackpot! :)
