Re: 84 Days...T Contest Log

Thanks Zed! I was able to connect with Radar too so thanks for the info.

I spoke to one of the docs I work with today who said pretty much everything you all said. Sciatic nerve. I've been taking a therapeutic dose of ibuprofen today to help the inflammation and went for a massage after work. It was painful but helped. Now if only the masseuse was some hot, half naked man...it would have been perfect!

Doc told me I should be avoiding exercise to let the thing heal. It's not in my plan really but I decided not to go to the gym tonight and I'm feeling a bit of antsy. I know in my head I need to let it settle but it's going to be tough. I'll see how it's feeling tomorrow and maybe do some upper body stuff in the evening. I'll keep the diet tight and hopefully a day or two off won't be too bad.

So...I stopped and rented the first season of the Walking Dead and am relaxing on the couch. Gotta love Zombies!

Thanks to all of you for the help today!

good to hear you got checked out. you know, you could always just focus on a super tight diet and stretching for a few days, and it could work to your benefit, you know, not overdoing it. maybe use the time for recharging?
hope it heals up soon...

I agree Trex. I was thinking about more last night and thought...I need to let it settle or it will be worse and I'll be further behind. I'm going to most likely rest more today and play it by ear for the weekend.

I agree Trex. I'm feeling better today...probably at least 50% but as I thought about it more, allowing it to heal makes sense. I can keep my diet on track, strech it out and take it day by day. A recharge sounds great too! Plus it's still so freakin cold here and I just want to hibernate! -23 this morning...-30 with wind. Seriously...getting old!

I'm definitely moving in the right direction. I can feel it the minute the ibuprofen wears off but it's not the same as it was even earlier today. The tingling has almost all but gone away and now it's just a more a dull ache along the back of my leg and my toes/ foot. My son is out tonight and I've been debating going to the gym but decided to just sit for one more day. I think I'll go in the morning and do some upper body stuff.

I hear ya on the tired, although I'm sure part of it for you is your ultra low bf!! 5 more weeks!!

And...October seems way too long for Season 2. Geez!

Re: 84 Days...T Contest Log

Well...it's Saturday morning and it's supposed to be warmer today. I was all geared up to go run stairs and I'm just not sure if I should be doing that! Man I hate injuries or whatever this thing is. I think I'll give the stairs till tomorrow but I'm going to head over to the gym and do some upper body stuff. It's amazing when you start thinking about what exercises you can do vs ones that will aggravate the lower back/ legs. I can feel the spot where this is all originating...it's right in my lower back on the right hand side. My lower back is one of my weaker areas too. I know hyper extensions can help the lower back. I'll have to search up some other ones too.

After the gym, I'm off to soccer tryouts for my son. I had a one week break from anything soccer and it begins again. One more year and then he can be driving himself around.

Drop the stairs hunny pie. It appears that those are what got your sciatic pissed at you in the first place. Stick with your Tabota and reg stuff. Gotta keep those dam injuries at bay sista!
Yup enjoyed The Walking Dead too.

I think it was a combination of being sore from the stairs and this....

I used this machine to do some squats, only you face the weights and have you feet high up on the platform, so it targets your glutes. The spot on my lower back is still sore but the pain and numbness in my leg is gone.

I didn't lift yesterday but did some light cardio. I walked for about an hour through the mall. Everything feels ok so I'm heading to the gym this afternoon. My son has more soccer so I'll drop him off and go workout. I will hit an upper body workout and may keep the weights lighter.

Have a great Sunday!
