I went to the spinal specialist yesterday for what is hopefully my final visit. My hip/back is still sore but has improved since my first complaints in November. In an indirect way the doctor politely told me that to rid myself of the soreness I need to improve my posture, drop a few pounds, and gain some muscle tone. I have done well in thinking of posture and have been surprisingly viligant (pain is a good motivator) about doing my exercises. Weight, on the other hand, is not easy for me to lose. The truth of the matter is that I like food and quantity control is not a strong point. I'll keep working on this matter. I am hoping that in another 6 - 8 weeks, I'll be blogging injury free. We'll see how it goes. Tuesday, July 10, 2007

Very good. In no time You'll be back to normal. (I hate portion control, too.)
You can do it fatty... just kidding, you're the hottest cousin-in-law I have.
B-rent
I can't believe he told you to lose weight? I don't think you are overweight at all...it probably has to do more with building muscle.
I'm with Randa on this one. I'm glad to hear that your back is doing a little better, though.
Have you ever gone to a chiropractor? I can't remember....
