Feeling better

My back is still sore but I am doing my normal daily activities. I am going to try the elliptical machine today for cardio since it is non-jarring and shouldn't put much pressure on my discs. I am afraid to try lifting but will tomorrow and see how it goes.

I have reaffirmed my commitment to losing weight and have changed up my diet starting yesterday. I am determined to lose 20 lbs in the next 3 months.

And after vacation...

I have herniated my disc again in my back. Grr.

I worked out on vacation so that I would not lose a week of muscle and endurance. The FIRST day back at the gym I did a seated oblique machine and twisted, and pulled my disc. Damn it.

I haven't exercised since Tuesday. I was flat on my back all day Wednesday and wore my back brace yesterday but was at least walking around. Today I feel a little worse than yesterday so I will try and not strain too hard.

Damn it.

Went on vacation....

Mexico was fabulous!!! Warm weather, relaxation, good exercise OUTSIDE and at their gym. Played in the water and spent time with my husband and children. It was MUCH needed. Loved it.
