A new beginning...

Thank you you guys.. Well you will all be happy to know I'm sitting on my ass right now and did not go to the gym otnight. I'm going to take a hot soak in the bathtub tonight and stretch out these muscles. :D
 
Good for you! I hope you are feeling better soon!
 
Mornin' NewLeaf! I hope you feel better soon. Being sore really sucks esp. if its your back and hips ( lets face it, they are used every day all day in normal living let alone exercise!). Glad to see you are takin' a rest :) Hope you have a good day. Keep up the great work, you GS avoider, you! :p:D LOL
 
Still avoiding the GS cookies!! :D Hehehe.. and I have to report, I feel pretty good this morning!! Stretched a bit last night, etc. And this morning no real major aches and pains. Granted that may change after sitting at a desk all day, so we'll see. No gym this morning. Making me really antsy! :( but I know, I needed a break. FH (Sid) was fussin last night cause.. all it took was you girls scolding me and I agreed not to go to the gym, but oh if HE says it, I don't listen. hehehe :) Nah I just don't listen to demands. :D

So.. I've had it at my office. Yesterday was the final straw. Apparently the cleaning staff went directly to my employer to bemoan issues rather than discuss them or call me, the office manager.:mad: So of course I get informed yesterday of their complaints and to resolve the issue! :eek: Not thrilled.. its a longer story than this but I won't bore you all with it! So I am trly officially on the job hunt.. heck I'm almost willing to look at the Taco Bell that's hiring managers!! Wish me luck ladies..wish me luck! :)

Babblings: not much to ramble about. Trying not to go crazy over the issue that I did not hit the gym this morning. Normally I'd relish in sleeping in! LOL! :) BUt this morning I kept waking up repeatedly. I felt wide awake at 4am!! Crazy. So that's ok.. I'll head back tomorrow I think. The hips and lower back are much improved this morning. So happy about that. And on the job hunt..another good bonus at least if I find something it will be. ;)

hey NL, I am proud of you for taking a bath and stretching and not going this morning. That is so awesome (when you really think about it) that you are antsy and not enjoying when you CANT go to the gym. Who would have thought, ya know? I'm eager to hear how your back/legs progress throughout desk job today and see if it acts up or what...dont beat yourself up for not exercising, it is taking care of yourself BEFORE a serious injury sets in. Good luck in the job hunt. Job hunting and wedding planning - i am impressed!!!! I know your profile says Virginia, but where abouts? I tend to have friends around the country in various jobs and sometimes can help with a referral or something, if you are interested - you can PM me....
Have an awesome day. I want an update later ;).
 
Hi, NL,
Great job on stretching and bath! Warm bath is the best for softening up stiff muscles.

As for work today - try getting up from your chair every hour or so and walk around for 5 minutes, or stretch - it will help. If you don't have ice pack and heating pad, get them, they'll be your friends!

I'm glad you're feeling better this morning, hope it will last throughout the day!

I know some work issues can be really annloying. Good luck with a job search!
 
Hey Girl Had A Blast Chatting Yesterday (yes I Am Chatting With The Competition Heheheehe) Hope Your Job Hunting Goes Well I Know Its Stressful When Your Not Happy At Your Job!!
 
Tina, it was great chatting with you last night! :) It really helped me cheer up after my cruddy incident at work that day. :) (Don't worry teammates, I am undermining her secretly.. hehee! :D j/k)

Ok... how does one heat the hips?? lol.. seriously.. I don't know how I'd do it! I am having a wee bit of aching in the hips so far this morning. NTL I am def. trying to get up and walk around as much as possible, because it does bring complete relief once the pressure is off from sitting. I may look into one of those ergonomic chairs or seating pads.

Now..as for wedding planning, job hunting etc. UGHH! :) I am excite dabout the wedding stuff. We got our sample invite in the mail yesterday and OMG it looks FABULUOS I am so excited!!! :) I've even found a few "possible" jobs.. so I am going to send out some resumes this week. I feel relieved just taking that step, even if they're not the most f abulous jobs... I'll PM you about that too Sarah. I just can't stay here any longer. I'm gonna snap! :)

Thank you girls..again for your posts and support. Truly... you are the only reason I didn't go home in tears yesterday and tear open a box of cookies. Ok..so I didn't really HAVE cookies at home, I probably would of gone to the extreme of buying them. :) I luv ya'll girls & guys! ;)
 
Hi, NL!

With hips its a bit hard - you'd probably have to lie on your stomack, so you'd need to do it at home. Another alternative would be taking a warm bath. But, for lower back pain you can put the heating pad between your lower back and the back of the chair. Ice pack fits in there too.
Ergonomic chair that tilts forward may be a really good idea, because it re-destributes the pressure forward instead of back.

Awesome on taking action. Sometimes I feel like you about my job, but I'm not ready to take the next step yet. :)
 
Oh, I almost feel sorry for the people you work with now. Who is going to put on a new toilet paper roll or wash out their nasty cups once you are gone? Lol! Just joking! Hope you find a better job soon!
 
I'm glad you didn't go and buy a box of chocolates, that wouldn't have been very good at all :eek: I'm sorry you're having such a crappy time at work, but also glad that you're taking the initiative to look for something better for you. I hope you feel better soon, Dana, physically and mentally :)
 
when I don't feel to well I like to go to the gym and soak in the hottub, and the steam room. I feel soooo much better after that.
Hope the muscles heal soon, and I hope you find a kick ass job!!
