The New Plan

"Your too young to be having back problems." The doctor told me yesterday. I have thrown my lower back out 5 times and I'm only 26. Monday I was playing with the kids on the floor and dancing. Then all of sudden I had pain shooting through my neck and shoulders. I finished the rest of the day at work but it was hard. When it was so bad the I couldn't sit up without screaming and crying I decided to go to the doctor. She told me I'm having a muscle spasm. Apparently poor posture is just one of the reasons for my weak back. The doctor recommended Physical Therapy and Yoga. I also bought a special pillow. I can't remember the last time anything was this painful. You don't even realize how everything affects your neck and shoulders. This was a reality check for me. I need to take better care of myself. I have been eating health and exercising when I can. It's not enough.

So I'm starting a new plan. I'm going to try to release my stress and practice Yoga. I never did yoga because I thought I wasn't flexible enough. That's not what yoga is about. It's about strengthening your core and will hopefully help me deal better with stress. I found this place online that I cant wait to go to. http://www.blissflowyoga.com/ As soon as my back is better I'm going to try it out. They also have a class called Yoga and Wine. I want to do that as well. Also one of the Yoga Instructors has a blog that is great as well. http://www.liquidblissblog.com/ I haven't figured out how to follow her blog since its not through blogger but I have it under favorites. Check it out, it's great!
