Kim's new and improved life journal!

[Caitsmama]

Kim,
I know i am a new poster to your journal - but i think what you have accomplished is AMAZING!! You are very inspiring to us newbies! Hang in there and get some rest..

Hi Kim

Hope you are feeling good today girly!

Ok...here are some stretches that I recommend for everyone, but particularly for those of us with hip pain. Found a great web page that even shows you pictures . The tennis ball thing is great too...a lot of time the glutes get tight from running and those muscles, along with the hamstrings, end up pulling the hips out of alignment. The tennis ball maneuver helps release the muscle and work out any knots that develop. It's not exactly fun....ok...it hurts a little...but it's good for ya! Make sure you add some good hamstring stretches (typical runner stretches) to this set as well. Good luck and I hope that these help a bit!!! Have a great weekend .

Welcome Susan and Caitsmama! Wow!! You read my journal?? That's a HUGE accomplishment in itself. (I love to have fun, if you couldn't tell) Thank you so much for posting and please stop by as often as you'd like. I really appreciate your support and uplifting comments. There are some days when I feel like I've accomplished nothing, and you both helped me remember how far I've come.

Amy - bless your little heart. I'm gonna try them out tonight, since my hip seems to be pretty mad at me today.

Scott - Why is it that we NEVER pick the same people to root for??? Guess it makes it more fun with the competition part of it for us!

Cam - seriously....let's do that!

Good news - I called and my sneakers are IN!!! Gonna go pick them up tomorrow morning.

Lots going on this weekend with soccer, cheerleading and DS's multiple birthday parties...but I'm hoping to squeeze in a nice walk.

Thanks again, everyone. And have a WONDERFUL weekend!

Hey guys. It's late & I should be in bed...but before I go...

My dear c25k buddy Corinna and I are starting up a pants challenge (hence the clippie). What that means is, we're tired of our pants being tight. So we're gonna get (and stay) on track so that our pants will fit better. My goal is for my pants/shorts to fit better by the time I go away (4.5 weeks). Totally do-able.

Anyone else in???

Have a wonderful weekend guys!

Hope your healing & having a great weekend!

Have a good weekend!

[AmyBeth68]

Good luck on the "pants challenge". Sounds like a fun and motivating way to stay on track!!!

How are you feeling? Hips still hurting ? Just checking in on ya' girl! I hope you had a great weekend with all the birthday celebrations!!!

 

[kimwim8]

Hey guys. Yes, my hip is still really bothering me. I haven't gotten a chance to actually do any of the stretches from Amy yet. I plan on doing that first thing in the am (thank GOD for holidays!!). Also, I'm picking up my new sneakers tomorrow, so I can walk at lunch.

DS's neverending birthday festivities are finally over. I hope to download some pics tonight.

Thanks so much for checking in, guys!

 

[corinnak]

Kim - you have the BEST WISH buddies.

I hope you can get your hip settled down. That's a rough thing to have out of whack. Ice, ice, baby! Take good care of yourself and enjoy your new shoesies!

 

[Caitsmama]

Kim, hope your hip feels better! Good luck breaking in those new sneaks tomorrow! Enjoy them!

 

[AmyBeth68]

Sorry to hear it's still hurting! Have you seen a doctor yet? Seems pretty serious to be hurting this long . Maybe you'll need to see an ortho! Hip issues can become chronic...not to scare you...but I'd hate to see you go down the same path I went down last year. Not fun! Anyway....try to do those stretches twice a day if you can! Let me know what you think .

Hope next week is good for you!

 

[kimwim8]

Hey guys. I am going to try out some walking this week, and if I'm not feeling any better - I'm heading to the dr. to get checked out.

And yes, Corinna, I DO have the best WISH buddies!!

Here's some pics from my DS's birthday.

I am a Disney dork, and have therefore converted my son into a Disney dork as well....Here's the cake he described and I made for him (although he wanted a face and everything....a little above my cake-making skill level)

My mom actually saw these in a magazine...so we tried it. A little less Mickey and a little more Mouse....but you get the point (they're made out of ice cream)

Here's my boy having a GREAT time!

 

[postesf]

Hey there Kim!!! Sorry to hear you hip is still bothering you... Yes, please get that checked out!!! We want you better! Glad to hear your shoes came in! I know you are excited about that!!! Hopefully that will help too!!!

Feel better!
Stacie

Hey, Kim. Hope your hip feels better soon. I feel for you in facing chronic pain like that - the longer it goes on, the worse it affects you (or at least, that's the way it is for me). So I hope it gets better soon.

Loved your cake and ice cream creations. I so admire creative people - wish I was one of them!

Hope you have a good day today and that the stretches help!

Susan
