Oh holy hell. I am up 5 fricking pounds this week. FIVE em’effing pounds.

I logged just a little over 4 miles in the past week, but over FIVE hours of fitness activities (racquetball & EAS) during the time, too!

Want to see my racquetball-induced injuries? Here ya go! My hubby took me down with a ball to the back and my feet? OUCH.

So, yeah… not really a good week, I guess. I always gain a lot of weight when I work out a lot, but hell, this is getting old. I am going to need to really, REALLY watch my calories.

After being in constant pain since May, I finally had an MRI this week and just got my radiology report. Turns out I have a herniated disc, another bulging disc, and an annular tear and nerve root displacement. I am happy to know that I have not just been crazy, but NOW WHAT? I am really hoping it can be solved with no surgery! Back surgery pretty much scares the hell out of me!

My husband’s parents came and picked the kids up for the afternoon, so it was the perfect time for me to get my fat ass back to the gym. Can I tell you how much I hate midday gym workouts??

It felt good to be back (sort of), I just need to figure out a way to get there in the mornings again, with the four rugrats tailing behind.

Today, I did 25 minutes on the Precor AMT and 20 on the Precor EFX, along with a half hour of arm/ab weights. Not bad for barely exercising the past month! My leg/ass pain was persistent, but bearable.

I love how exercise makes me feel, so why is it SO HARD to “get there”??

Just checking in! It’s been awhile since I have posted on my personal blog! I have been down for the count lately! Seems like I have been sick for ages now -took antibiotics last week, but they didn’t work. I guess I need to try something else. Remember my injury mid-Shred? Well, it is still bothering me. Dr. Google and I are thinking that it is probably this. I would bet money on it.

Now, you are probably wondering if I am participating in Shred the Second. Truth betold, I have not started yet. I think I will wait a few more days at least. I pretty much ceased all exercise the last few weeks, but yesterday walked about 2 miles, and today, I got back to the gym and did 2.25 miles and weights. Baby steps!

I am excited to see all the newbies, as well as the repeat offenders (thanks, Amanda!). I am cheering you on ALL THE WAY!
