I know you saw your physician, and I don’t want to worry you unnecessarily. I assume you don’t have a hernia. You don’t want to experience a tearing sensation, or sharp pain when you laugh or cough. Or notice any strange bulge in the area. If you have those symptoms, you want to see your doc again. I had pain when I coughed or laughed, and could actually feel a sharp tearing feeling when I was doing ab movements like leg raises.
Thanks. Yeah, I had an umbilical hernia from my last baby. Not caused from lifting. And this was a few years ago, and I’m fully recovered, no problems. I’ve never had an abdominal “pull” that was that painful, just routine soreness that was manageable. DOMS kind of things.
Especially if you’re carrying them one-armed, like a suitcase carry. That’s a great ab exercise. Farmer’s walks for realz! Sounds like you’re getting back on your game. Probably nothing to worry about.
@anon71262119 I really appreciate your thoughts and advice because I’ve never had this happen. I’m just going with the flow and trying to give it time to heal on it’s own if that’s what it takes. I was still worried about the lifting I did yesterday like how it would feel later but it didn’t bother me much at all. I guess that is a good indication I’m recovering well. I mean I’m still cringing at times but can take pain pretty good.
I am thankful for you not having any long term issues and that you fully recovered. I’ve never heard of anything like that! I still can’t get over you having kids and being a badass lifter. You impress and motivate me for sure Puff! It is always wonderful to have you around.
Work was one of those productive but it didn’t look like I did much kinda days. I constantly get people coming over to talk which is cool but I get sucked into what they are saying and my heart breaks for them or I’m extremely happy for their happiness anyways not my fault I have a extra soft heart! Lately my heart has been hurting hardcore for multiple people and I wish I could fix what’s broken for them. It has been an emotional roller coaster and the shit weather is not helping the situation at all. I’m sooooo cold… argh!!!
I did just buy a two piece swimsuit which is a huge step in the fitness world I wouldn’t be caught dead in it at the moment but I’m working to rock it this summer. I’ll keep trying it on as a reminder to myself of my goals to stay positive and look forward. I’m feeling pretty good physically minus the time change making me sleepy and a bit bitchy (which never ever happens) HAHA
I cooked mesquite grilled chicken and potato skins for supper… wonderful and easy!
@Spock81 LOL… there were so many ladies at the beach last year that didn’t care what they looked like. Most of them had thongs but no booty. I can’t bring myself to do that unless I’ve had a few slushy drink buckets
From what I see you could absolutely wear a two piece and turn heads doing it. Am I missing something?!?
Sometimes I feel the same way. I’m not used to ANY of the curves I have.
Me and hubby went to celebrate our anniversary recently, and I wore this contraption thing of a bathing suit , that’s barely interconnected at the waist area by a few strings, and everything else was just free to bounce around. EVERYTHING. My butt was legit eating my bathing suit bottoms and I bought the biggest size there was.
I’m walking along the beach holding my chest and my butt because everything was swaying when I walked. Needless to say I threw my shirt and my jeans back on. And my husband just kept asking me if I was okay the whole time after that. Which I was. Kind of.
A girl who likes Shinedown AND Five Finger Death Punch. Great musical taste. It’s what I listen to when I train actually. In fact, Far From Home was the first song I heard from FFDP. It was a music video someone had done with a military backdrop on youtube years ago. Made me want to go work for the VA or something to help veterans.
@planetcybertron you’re hilarious!! I’m sure to you it was way worse then it actually was. I can’t tell you how many clothing items I buy thinking it is sexy or different from my normal taste but then I can’t commit. Most of the time it’s the stuff I hate that people say I look the best in… of course!
Also Happy Belated Anniversary!!
@duketheslaya Hell Yes!!! I would love to see them live and very up close lol. Such energy!
@Excelsior88 thank you and you must have great taste as well! It is fantastic training music and very hard to pick a favorite. There is so much music that I get so tired of hearing but it’s the songs and bands like this that will always get me pumped and excited As far as the VA that’s is wonderful you have the inspiration to help and hopefully still do someday. There are so many opportunities even if it’s not directly career related and it’s very much appreciated.
What is another band that’s a favorite for you?
Went to the doctor and long story short I am still not allowed to lift hopefully in the very near future that will change. I’ve lost weight and also my muscle tone which is hard to look at. I know it is what it is but it sucks!
Anyways, the NCAA Tournament is craziness with all the upsets!! I love when the underdogs win but my brackets went to shit fast. Thankfully WV is still in it and will hopefully upset Villanova on Friday
anyways not my fault I have a extra soft heart! Lately my heart has been hurting hardcore for multiple people and I wish I could fix what’s broken for them. It has been an emotional roller coaster and the shit weather is not helping the situation at all. I’m sooooo cold… argh!!!

I just felt super awkward lol . I am the same way if I’m wearing a dress it’s like ahhh people are noticing me and my discomfort
