So, having persistent back pain this week so not been to the gym😭😭😭😫 M ugh pain coincides with my monthly cycle and I do Ibuprofen to at least function and be upright. It's been chronic since I had my babies. Before babies, I used to run 5-6 days a week for about 90 min to 2 hours a run. The loss of the freedom, athleticism, and wellbeing I experienced with running has been really hard. That was my go-to favorite exercise. Nothing else has satisfied me or has come even close to helping me stay fit and be a lean mean calorie burning machine like running. I'm trying to get into weight training cause I need the strength and stability benefits but it's a struggle to be consistent. I've mostly been an Elliptical devotee now cause I can usually get an hour in without pain and feeling pretty satisfied. Had x-rays and gyn tests, so will likely have an MRI to see if we can pinpoint the source of pain. My goal is to get back to tracking food tomorrow. I hope I sleep well -the pain often wakes me up. I know this has contributed to weight increase cause I'm constantly fighting against inflammation, extreme exhaustion, and stress hormones. I'm hopeful and will continue on my path to wellness😊
