About Hi, my name is Ellie. I was part of a water aerobics class..doing well ..until about 4/6 months ago...when i strained my groin. The pain threw off my walk..which caused scatica. The scatica is still with me....however, I am able now to mostly sleep in my bed...to move about..but with a slow, measured, easily tired limp. ... ..I have begun ot see a chiroprator .....It is a stain to walk the stairs...to walk through the supermarket..to do household choirs...i am trying to strenghten my core....and get back my mobility with physical therapy exercises mostly translated into water exercises and wish ot return to aerobics classes which i enjoyed. I, like Garfield, am not overweight I am undertall.....and since I cannot grow...i guess i will have to settle for losing weigh..because it will help me...feel better....and move more easily. So, problem 1. I am addicted to sugar..mostly chocolate.... My greatest handicap is...i am not a creature of habit.....or schedules......even when i worked long hours....i did not keep a regular controlled schedule.....for eating, sleeping or eliminating and my well being is paying the price for my lack of discipline. This handicaps my ability to gain greater control over my well being. So, i am hoping that these sessions will help me motivate me to change..and that i hope to connect with others so we can help each other realize our goals.
