Maybe just try to go 2 miles only and see if you're still in pain, or maybe down to 1 mile. Go as long as you can without pain and increase it from there. I get pain too when I walk long distances. I'm hoping with each loss the pain eases.<br /><br />Actually, my favourite quote is from the Navy Seals. "The only easy day was yesterday"! I'm a Canadian, but gotta love those Seals!279https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348135369049732920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-89596169116641405922009-08-11T16:34:14.555-04:002009-08-11T16:34:14.555-04:00Amen!

So you're headed in the right direction. <br />I'm so proud of you for exercising despite the pain, many would let that stand in their way. I hate to think that you're having pain, I really do, but I'm confident it will improve dramatically as you transform dramatically.<br /><br />Consistency. You got that right my friend!<br /><br />My best always<br />SeanSean Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973189725254566966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-82486817288974014652009-08-11T15:33:51.124-04:002009-08-11T15:33:51.124-04:00WOW!

I love them. I understand about financial issues. The beauty I surround myself with are usually pretty inexpensive. I mostly buy from Thrift stores (the vase) and never go to malls! I spend the biggest chunk of my money on good food, that's not negotiable. I hope things start picking up for you soon, so you can get your nails back :) and lose the stress of being laid off.<br />AndreaAndreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05459603047206643624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-81730798366009406862009-08-11T09:58:37.347-04:002009-08-11T09:58:37.347-04:00Rock on girlfriend!

I started my blog as a way to distract myself from overeating, never realizing that it could do any good for anyone. It makes me feel great that you gleaned something from my ramblings. It kills me that you feel less than adequate on the treadmill. From what you described, you sound like you're doing a great job, and I hope that you'll give yourself more credit for all that you're accomplishing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-42302507381531868762009-08-11T07:51:47.012-04:002009-08-11T07:51:47.012-04:00Hey Tammy,

You are incredibly brave and strong to keep trying to push yourself through it to make yourself healthier and stronger. <br /><br />Also remember not to push yourself too hard, listen to your body. Any chance of yoga or swimming for you? Just a thought of some exercises that wouldn't strain the back so much.<br /><br />And finally, I'm so glad you mentioned Amy H. and that fabulous post of hers! That phrase has been stuck in my head ever since I read it too!<br /><br />I am in awe of your sweet and generous nature to always be first in your enthusiasm to point out the merit and talents of others. Yet another way you have inspired me!

I like Amy's blog very much too!<br /><br />I suffer from back issues on and off, and walking is something I can do. Interestingly enough, the treadmill hurts my back, but walking outside doesn't!

Although, I tried to remember it when I was in labor and was finally like, "F*ck this, that's too much pain," lol. It does work in spin class though. It's great that you are consistently walking and just working through the pain. It will become less and less as you become lighter and your muscles stronger.screwdestinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00777895976599010393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-79144540747065697962009-08-11T02:49:01.323-04:002009-08-11T02:49:01.323-04:00I loved her post - it was inspiring!
I know what ...I loved her post - it was inspiring!<br /><br />I know what you mean about the pain issue. My joints were unbelievable at the beginning. In fact for the first 3 months or so, the pain persisted. I had an achilles tendon injury last year and it was still extremely painful, plus I was terrified of damaging it again. Also all the tendons under that same foot had tightened up and they would really hurt on walks. My ankles, knees, hips and sciatic nerve in my back have been really extremely painful for the last 5 or so years (don't stay fat as you get older!), and every step has been agony.<br /><br />Finally, the pain has gone! Well apart from on long walks/runs anyway. Having that sciatic pain go has been the best thing ever - I can sleep properly through the night now and NO MORE PAINKILLERS! <br /><br />I am hoping I can defer a hip operation by another 20 years now - maybe avoiding it all together.<br /><br />So, yes, I understand how painful it is, but you are doing the right thing, losing weight and moving more really does help those joints and eventually you will be free of the pain.<br /><br />Doing weights is a good help too if you can, because if the muscles are stronger around the joints, then they can withstand a bit more.<br /><br />Well done with keeping it up - believe me, it does get a lot easier!Fat[free]Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657562694069139967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-47227945880271169552009-08-11T02:37:24.698-04:002009-08-11T02:37:24.698-04:00WoW Tammy, I can so relate to your post, I had see...WoW Tammy, I can so relate to your post, I had seen the pain quote last night and it really struck a chord with me also. I have had long term back problems similar to you and walking through the pain really is helping at the moment.<br /><br />You have a brilliant positive attitude right now, so I think your balance is well on its way back.<br /><br />Thank you for you lovely comment on my blog:)<br />I have never thought of my self as "Cool" you gave me a real BUZZZ... thank you so much.<br /><br />Hugs<br /><br />SheilaghSheilaghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02774960303127922257noreply@blogger.com
