weight: 152.4 which is only 0.4 lbs more than when I hurt my back but my weight fluctuates so Im not going to get upset about this small gain until I can remember to weigh in again in a few days. (I keep forgetting to weigh in mornings... wonder if I am mentally doing that on purpose?) I will not weigh in here until I see a loss or one week goes by and the site yells at me to weigh in.
Health/back: My doc had to cancell my appointment and I will see her in 4 more weeks. The accupuncturist was marvelous and again.. I feel better after the treatment. Still feeling some "pressure" in my back if I sit too long. I won't go back to her for a month.
exercise: I got out my "step's" and have been doing the steps (up and down, up and down) and I have been using some hand weights (8 lbs) to do some arm exercises. I think I need some 10 lb weights and need to go buy them. Its a start back to exercising again and doesn't seem to bother my back at all. I did the steps until I got out of breath and will do them during the day/evening and watching tv, same with the weights. I really have missed working out on the treadmill, but this is improving my disposition... I am doing something!
Life: Life is going along fine. Not much exciting happening here. Things seem rather quiet.

I hope you charged the doc a cancellation fee. Hrumph! Good thing you are feeling better and had the acupuncture to rely on.. I am so glad it is working for you. Obviously, something is going on there and a diagnosis would be a very good thing indeed. I am impressed that you are handling 8 lbs Popye! I do five and it tires me out pretty quickly. Just be careful with your back lady, okay?
Enjoy the quiet while you can!

4 weeks? Darned, that is a long time and I'm a bit concerned about you doing too much exercise before you see the Doc. Hmmm... Be careful Janelle, take good care of yourself. I'm trying to guess what that pressure is, it sounds familiar somehow.

I found this with Google: "The number one cause of lower back pain is tight hamstrings.
Consider doing stretching exercises..the type where you bend to touch your toes. This will also help in the event of a herniated disk. You will find out soon enough if it helps. I find almost immediate results. When you stretch, do NOT bounce!

Also, check out "Herniated Disk" on the Mayo Clinic Site, it sort of matches your description of the problem.

Please be careful with your back, I assume you mean your lumbar, lower back. Go to your doctor and then go from there. Your appointment was cancelled but you can put yourself on a cancellation list. That way if someone cancels the office will call you. That could cut out some of the time you will have to wait.

Oh my... yes, doooo be careful and move ever so slowly. I must say, I think I'll be looking to try accupunture sometime soon, too. We'll see. I have a new motto: "Look out Turtles... here I come!" I might not be proceeding at any great speeds, by any means, but I intend to continue forward. Do be oh so careful, though. :)

Oh bully-I always think about you every time I think about acupuncture-don't know if it will work (every case is different) but I hope you will get a chance to try it soon.

You're showing good progress by wanting to move up to heavier weights. Are you building some "guns"? Glad to hear you're getting some relief for your back. Hang in there!
