Guest guest Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 do you weigh yourself every day? I would think that would be quite discouraging. I guess that is why I only weigh myself once a week or so. I know if I did that I would obsess over it and lose focus on what I'm really trying to to do. I don't even look at my scales. Day-to-day weighing is just not a good system for me. We are trying to learn healthier habits and change our lifestyles. Try not to let it discourage you. Hang in there girl!

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Sometimes I just get so depressed and angry and feel like my body has betrayed me. In my mind, I am young and dancing down the street. In reality, every time I try to do more than just basic movement, I pay a price. My lumbar fusion was a success but has left me with very tight muscles and fascia restrictions. Stretching just wasn't working and I need to lose weigt anyway; so, I decided to go walk around the lake. It only took 45 minutes. I didn't go that fast and I really enjoyed it. That was Monday. Today is the first day I can walk again at all. Somehow that one little walk gave me a bad case of tendonitis in my right foot and I've spent every waking moment since the pain hit, icing it and getting angrier. This is so typical. Every single time I try to exercise, I get hurt. I just want to scream!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Don't quit.. Maybe just cut your time in half for awhile.. Movement is crucial to keeping your muscles from freezing up.. I went for a walk yesterday since fall is starting here and it was great.. Of course, I had to quit before I wanted to but that is how it is... I also remember being healthy and being able to hike all day..Literally... But, take is slow and I am sure you will build up to where you can walk 45 minutes or more.. Not every day of course but enough to know you are still alive and well. : ) Tom In a message dated 9/24/2009 3:06:42 A.M.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Tom, I have to use a shopping cart, or stroller, in order for me to walk any short distance comfortably. Even with using a shopping cart to walk across Walmart, I get leg burning, discomfort, & fatigue. I do better riding a bicycle, because it opens my spine. June Re: Down in the dumps  Don't quit..

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I'm walking better but still depressed about the constant rate of injury. I've thought about biking but my bike has me at an odd angle that I am worried will hurt my lumbar area.
