Wow time flies...it's been awhile since I've written! I have had some things come up that have de-railed my journey a bit, but I'm back on track again with help from my trainer Teri, my Chiropractor, and some good Doctor reports! Actually, me getting off track is purely mental and I totally gave into the anxiety of the back issues I've been having, as well as worrying about the nerve testing that I had recently. The Spinal Doc says that I have mild carpel tunnel and there is nothing that he is concerned about - "keep up the exercise!" were is very words - ironically at the time I got that diagnosis, I had wrenched my back really bad a few days before so I was in much pain! It dampened the good news at that moment, but I was so pleased to hear that I don't have to be concerned about surgery or anything radical like that. Now, the past few weeks I've just been working on getting the back healed!
I found myself "anxiety eating" which is always dangerous, and my workouts have been way less than I was doing because I didn't want to hurt my back more, so needless to say I've been feeling a bit sluggish. I have, however, been keeping up on my water exercises (love AiChi!!), and walking. I was in such a routine of cardio and strength exercises - I am happy to say now that I'm back doing regular cardio and "back friendly" strength exercises - thank you Teri for your encouragement and helping me get back on the track! We set goals that I would text her after each workout (check!), set the workout times in my calendar (check!), and to go off coffee. (I'm workin' on that last one!) I promise to write more often...
