Sorry, a little late with the post. The Parker decided it was cool to wake up at 6am and he's still not sleeping yet.
So...my back. I got sciatica during pregnancy and a few weeks after Parker was born it went away. But damn, the whole time it was so painful. It feels like my entire body gets out of whack and I lean on one side but can't put my weight on that side. Sucks. Fast forward to every time Steve goes away. It seems like during that time my back starts hurting again - A LOT. I know it's from me putting Parker in the car seat. At 18lbs 11oz and the weight of the car seat, I know it does a number on my back. Ugh. So here I am. Talk about a derailment. I can barely lift my own child and most certainly cannot walk around with him. I'm praying Steve gets the OK to come home tomorrow to help me out. Not that I haven't had help with my parents around but a whole day of not holding him at all usually helps it to go away faster. And I need it to go away by Mon/Tues so that I can work out HARD the next few days for weight in. This is seriously thwarting my efforts. My food has been impeccable but I really wanted to up the ante with some serious workouts to put our team on top when I lost 10lbs in the first week. Grrrr.
Hopefully if I rest tomorrow I will have Mon, Tues, Wed, and yes, even Thurs before I weigh in. Bring it on.
And damn you sciatica.
I'm exhausted so I'll be back tomm. Oh, but first. Buy these cookies. Gluten free is the way to be (I also have a wheat allergy!)
sciatica SUCKS. I had it years ago from running, and it came back when I started training in MMA. Comes and goes now, but it is the worst pain... there are a lot of good stretches you can do for it. Mostly ones emphasizing the hips and hamstrings (even though it's coming from the back)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear you're feeling unwell. Back pain is THE WORST! And not good for the weight loss mojo. I know you can do it, anyway! :) I see we like the same breakfast~those eggs with veggies... MMMMMM!
ReplyDeleteMelissa, Oh it practically renders me immobile. It really sucks. I need to just start stretching every morning to help it. Also sucks that it pops up at any time and I was told I'll have it for life. Awesome!
ReplyDeletePauline, Thanks for the uplifting comment! Mmmm...eggs with veggies is the best in the morning.
