Ran 4 miles today....my first continuous run since surgery 8 weeks ago. Hallelujah. It felt good to get out on the road again with a straight up run. Plus I made my goal for the month. 61.2 miles total.

I also joined a gym with a pool yesterday to start swimming. My goal is to swim 2 days a week in addition to my running so I can do triathlon next year.

MTD: 35

MTD:36.5 but I worked out like a mad woman. 2.5 hours of it, mainly upper body. Doing what, you ask me?

Trying on clothes to clean out my closet. No I didn't make it up. True story. Like, my arms hurt!

Dropped a back squat barbell on my neck 30 m ago. Did not bail properly. In urgent care getting checked out. Hope this is not the end of my fitness. Pretty painful in neck and back currently. I got a little too fast and made a mistake during the lifting part of a chipper workout.

Oh Fiddle, hope it's not too serious, hopefully they can fix you up, it sounds really painful, praying for a speedy recovery!

Just got the xrays explained. No new truama. I just need to take some strong nsaid for the current discomfort. I did find out I have some pretty substantial arthritis in the spine. News to me (1st xray I have done in these areas), but does explain why my apex region and thoracic region are so stiff. There are many vertebrae fused together in both regions on the film . Any thoughts on how to fix this? I am not that old (38). I am going to follow up with a rhuematologist in the near future. I do know that 2 months of PT so far has helped my back feel better and more relaxed, especially after doing tspine roller exercises with light hand weights.

What does arthritis of the ime entail? Do you have diminished cartilage? I guess this explains some of you back and neck issues all right. Quite a lot to absorb at once eh?

Fiddleman: so sorry you got hurt but glad it isn't too serious. My orthopedist told me pretty much anyone over 30 has a lot of arthritis in their spine but maybe he was just trying to make me feel better. LOL! Anyway I've had a lot of PT for my lumbar spine and neck and it helps as long as you are diligent and patient. I think yoga is also very helpful. Staying strong, active and flexible is your best bet and you are doing all of that. Icing helps me too after working out to keep inflammation down. Hope you are feeling better soon.

So sorry you've gotten hurt! I have arthritis of my spine too, found out a couple of months ago, and I'm younger than you (36)...I do have back issues at times, not enough to bother me though.

Glad to hear that the Nsaids should take care of you, and that it wasn't any more serious than that. I have degenerative disc problems in my spine, but of course I'm older than you. keep up with the PT, that helped me a lot, and keep exercising but don't over-do it , at least that is what I was told. That being said, it's much better to keep moving, it will keep you flexible.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
