So.....

I have started documenting my routine for getting fit. Yes, I am doing it here, and no, I have not made any of it public. Mostly because I am horribly ashamed at how much I have let myself go. Maybe, if it works and I start seeing some real results, stuff might become public. I might post some of the more oddly related things publicly, which brings us to this post:

I did a full hour of yoga today. My sessions used to run about an hour, sometimes two. They always left me feeling fantastic and in absolutely no pain. The session I did today was mostly focused on my back. While I want to veer toward flexibility and strength, my back is currently causing me the most problems. If I can get that under control, I will be so happy. When I finished the yoga today, I was pain free...

However, I discovered that the full hour of yoga is completely erased once I add any sort of aerobic activity to it. I think I will have to get my back and posture sorted out and then add the heavier stuff at a later time. That was how I did it before, but that was by accident, not because I had a plan of any kind.

It's only bugging me because I do lose some weight with yoga, but I know that isn't going to be enough. I guess that I will just have to be patient. I am not good at being patient, but I guess I have no choice. I'd rather have a pain free back and know that I can lose weight faster at a later time than be in constant pain while losing it now.

That was what I had been thinking. I liked doing it the other way because I could use yoga as my stretch before doing aerobic activity.

Part of my problem is that I have horrible posture which means that I'm not keeping form well while exercising. I also think part of it is that the back pain really radiates from the epidural scar. I don't think they did it wrong, since everyone I know that has had an epidural complains about the pain for years after. I think it just is what it is :/
