Back Problems

So, it's no news to any of you that I have serious back problems at times. Other than my extra weight, I have very large breasts (even when I was thinner) and they cause me a lot of grief. My back is getting no worse & a week or so ago, my boyfriend accidentally sat on my legs while I was reading on my stomach, and my back has never felt worst!!

This being said, we have decided that I am going to start back strengthening. My boyfriend is a big weight lifter and he wants me to start focusing on rebuilding the muscles in my lower back.

Ya'll, this pain has gotten so bad that I'm not even sleeping most nights. I'm trying different positions to try and ease the pain, but nothing seems to help. It may be time to start visiting a chiropractor again.

Luckily, this back pain has not kept me from being active. While we have not been hitting the gym, we have been finding other ways to get activity in. We have started walking around the area more & checking out places we've never seen. In a month, I'm moving to a new apartment & I can't wait to be able to walk around the area and explore some while getting some great exercise in.

Now it's your turn to chime in:
  • Do you have any back problems? If so, what have you found helps you ease the pain?
  • Do you enjoy walking around your area? What are some of the cool places you've discovered by running or walking around your neighborhood?

Seriously This Time...

I know I posted a few weeks ago saying I was back...but it was a lie. My laptop has been broken for a few weeks, but I finally got it back today...which means back to focusing & posting!!

Unfortunately, I was in a car accident last week and am dealing with some pretty severe whiplash. I start physical therapy tomorrow, so I'm going to check into what I can and can't do during workouts then...so starting on Sunday, look forward to me starting over anew. I want a clean slate...a new focus...a real goal in mind.

I feel like I screwed up & I learned how accountable I truly was when I was posting in this blog. I'm so glad I have my laptop back so I can get back to it!!

I just wanted to write a quick post & let everyone know I really am back this time. I gotta get to bed since my muscle relaxers are slowly starting to kick in.

More tomorrow... :-)
