Physical Therapy has been helping.... guiding me as to what I should and should not do. The pressure on the sciatic nerve causes pain that radiates down my left leg, especially my calf muscle! I'm not waking up in the middle of the night in pain any more, so that is a good sign. I am able to resume doing push-ups and riding my bicycle at least 3 miles a day. It is funny what aggravates it and what doesn't. It is very tiring to contend with it....
Ah! But to focus on the good things..... I have been working on what I can - more on knife and gun disarms - bo staff form.... fighting form... Refining the details. I love working with our students - it takes the pain away!!
Eating a paleo diet is great for me... but clearly, I still eat too many calories, especially now that I am not burning as many. I keep trying.
I am often forced to stop and rest, relax, ice my lower back, close my eyes, and breathe deeply. A fundamental practice I should incorporate into my life to alleviate stress. Its going to be a busy time with my work.... I must keep the stress from overtaking me.
