NO MORE WORKING OUT FOR ME!!!

Posted on March 8, 2016

Yesterday, I was sooo proud of myself for getting my workout on, so I thought I could do a repeat performance today. NOT!!! LOL!!! I tried, but my back let me know that I did a little too much, and now I'm paying for it!!! THE PAIN!!! UGH!!!

I think I'm gonna wait a while til my back is feeling much better before I try to do those workouts again. At least I tried!!! I'm just gonna chill instead of doing things that will cause another flare-up.....

Hey Adrienne, I was thinking about you the other day when I went swimming. Do you have access to a pool? Would floating in water help?

Ada, unfortunately, I'm not close to a pool. I'd have to join a gym or go the YWCA to have access to one. It's all good though!!! I really don't know how to swim (only know how to do the doggie paddle - LOL), but I plan on taking some swimming lessons this summer. Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts and giving me a wonderful suggestion!!! Although I don't know how to swim, I love the water!!! :-)

You do have to listen to your body!!!! I have read often that weight loss is 80% diet and only 20% exercise.....now maybe it is better for you to concentrate on the food you consume and exercise only need as you are able!!!!

Remember to give yourself a day of rest after exercising until you feel the strength coming back. So sorry for the pain. Feel better!!

I know its frustrating, but remember exercise is not the only part we can "work" on. And sometimes we use food or exercise as a crutch for the other. So now you can focus on food, and when its time to workout you may be less likely to overindulge because you know your working out because you have had to not figure out a way to stay on track without the crutch of exercise. But wish you weren't in so much pain. I fear the days (and their few) when I'm in pain that I just alter what I'm doing, not like you completely out of commission. :(

Yes Jennifer, IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING!!! I used to be able to really GET MY WORKOUTS ON, & now I'm limited to doing almost NOTHING!!! It's all good though. After I get back into ONEDERLAND, I should be able to start TURNING UP again!!! It's gonna be a little while before that happens, but BY GOLLY, I'M GONNA DO IT!!! I'm just gonna take it one day/one step at a time. :-)

Oh no, feel better soon!! Back pain is the worst. Does your skin tolerate stuff like icy hot? That was one thing that gave me a little bit of relief. Hot baths a couple of times a day were super helpful for me, too, like you are already doing. Hope the pain subsides soon.

Thanks sooo much Biking Syl!!! I really don't like Icy Hot. Tried it, but my skin felt like it was literally on fire!!! LOL!!! I'm still taking my hot bubble baths. Just gonna keep on doing that and using the heating pad. :-)

I know, sometimes the skin doesn't appreciate extra chemicals. Thermal underwear is also a great way to keep my back warm, without annoying the skin.

Hi Adrienne, I feel your pain. For years, I had back pain. It has subsided as I gained strength in my core. But I still guard my back, especially if I stand for long periods of time. Feel better. I know ice helps sometimes and sometimes heat is best.

Thanks sooo much Sally!!! Right now, I can't stand for long periods of time; can't stand for short periods of time either. I'm so glad you're feeling much better!!! Back pain AIN'T NO JOKE, & I hope that the more weight I lose, the better I'll feel. And I agree with the hot part. I take lots of hot bubble baths, & I lie with the heating pad on my lower back. I've tried the ice; can't stand it!!! LOL!!!
