I had my physical today. I'm healthy!
Except for the back problem. I gave the new primary care physician a review of my back woes, and as a result, I've basically been told to do a lot of back exercises to strengthen the lower back muscles that are apparently incredibly weak. Either that or the muscles are strong but not strong enough to support my busty build. Heheh.
I also asked about my tendency to have a fast heart rate. I was told to work on cardio more, which is frustrating, since we workout three times a week and already do a decent amount. Usually I'm about 20 more beats a minute than Grace and Ruth when we're on the machines at the fitness center. We've all been doing the same exercises for the last couple of years, but my heart doesn't seem to be getting any more used to the cardio exercises as time goes on. So, I think I'm going to buy one of those heart rate monitors since I tend to get it going over what my maximum heart rate should be.
Oh and by the way! The dark angel of pregnancy has passed me over and has landed at the door of a girl at my work. Say a little prayer for her as you read this. She got married three months after I did and was definitely not planning this.
And speaking of babies, Ric got to visit the nephew today. Apparently this kid is very mobile and will probably have a very strong will. He's been getting car sick and everyone was wondering why... Turns out, he just likes to move a lot and doesn't like being strapped down in the car seat, so he gets sick and fussy. The other day, he was left on the floor to chill for a couple of minutes, and when his mom returned, he wasn't there. He had pulled himself across the floor by grabbing the carpet with his arms and dragging the rest of himself. He has a rugburn on his head! Also, he has an affinity for swimming. Mom holds his head in the bath, and he does the rest. Heheh. Looks like he's going to be a handful!
