I injured my back a couple weeks ago playing sand volleyball, which I've been dying to do for the past few years. I had a blast, but the result was a sore back. A week later, as I was eating my healthy wheat puffs, I suddenly choked, coughed, and that was that. I damaged a disc to the point of rupture...ouch! A week later, I am still limping around with a numb leg and foot as a result of a nerve being pinched by the slipped disc. This is all happening as I approach the ripe age of 30. In a few months I will no longer be in my 20's. It's been a great 10 years and, as I have now realized, my life is about to change. It's up to me to decide if I'm going to be one of those people who get grumpy and skeptical as I age, gaining a pound or more each year, or, if I will take the bull by the horns and use this ruptured disc and numb leg experience as a wake up call. I really want to play beach volleyball again before the end of the summer. In order to do this, I need to get on the yoga and pilates wagon and strengthen my cor. I want to be in top shape by the time 30 roles around and I don't want to be woozy from vicodin when the time comes! So, here we go...starting today. This is officially a blog about my personal health, fitness routines, aches and pains and everything else that comes with the end of the 20's.
