Half-way through the fall quarter!!
120.4 at the meeting
I didn't stop and get my spacer beads after the meeting today. I glanced at the little Pandora catalog before I left for Weight Watchers and there were WAY more choices than I thought there would be so I've decided to wait until I've spent some time looking at everything. The anticipation is almost as much fun as getting the thing so this will just add more "fun" to the experience = )
My back is slowly SLOWLY getting better. I have lots of times during the day when I'm not thinking about it...which means that it's not hurting badly enough to be in the front part of my brain.
I haven't taken a muscle relaxant for several days now and today I skipped the anti-inflammatory just to get an idea of how far I've progressed. I'm tempted to take something tonight because today was VERY busy with lots of physical activity and the next two days are going to be the same.
But I really want to see how my back feels tomorrow, unmedicated, to get an idea of where I stand.
I have been walking 3 miles almost every day...the muscles tighten up while I'm walking so I stop and stretch a few times. It seems as if there's been no change in this respect for several days so I'm tempted to try a short run even though I'm not totally pain-free yet.
I figure if it hurts while I'm walking but doesn't get worse afterwards, I might as well be running! But I'm going to be good and wait until Monday...I've got alot of "mothers" keeping an eye on me to see if I start running again before I'm "all better" = ))
I am so very thankful that I've been able to maintain my weight even though I've not been running and also had reduced activity in general. I don't know if the same would be true in the colder months...I sure hope I don't have to find out!
