Rest day. Good thing, as yesterday, I woke up with a pulled muscle in my head??? You know, when you can't turn your head. Not my neck. Anyway, I did go to boot camp yesterday, but the head was interfering with my sleep last night, so I treated myself this morning with with some MacKenzie techniques and a heating pad and it's better. Much better.
B: 4 slices of lox, rolled up with veggie light cream cheese on zucchini. An orange, coffee
L: salad with spinach, lettuce, artichoke hearts, hearts of palm, red pepper, and tuna. an apple.
S: 3 slices low salt ham with a dab of mayo
D: scrod baked with a crust of crushed pecans and pepper and a mixture of tomatoes, green chili, poblano, red pepper, onion, with slices of avocado. 2 squares dark chocolate
My weight is in the danger zone. I am seriously beside myself!

Crankin, glad you found something that helped your neck! I am curious which MacKenzie techniques you used. I pretty much always have neck stuff going on so am always looking for ways to deal with it.

Today:

B: eggs scrambled with spinach, 1 slice bacon, coffee
1 hour group training followed by a protein shake
L: bison/grass-fed angus/sweet potato chili over roasted spaghetti squash
D: last of the West African Chicken stew over more roasted spaghetti squash and spinach. 1/2 small banana

Good luck on figuring it out Crankin, that is always so frustrating to know that something is off.

Catrin, basically just using trigger point pressure on the 2 "bumps" at the bottom of my head (I have no idea what the scientific name is) and a neck/head stretch where you press your chin in and down. There's also one that you can do in the car, where you press your head back into the headrest.
