anyone?

I recently have had flank pain, and the kidney docs say my kidneys are fine, but I think it is exercise induced nephritis or athletic nephritis or pseudo nephritis. But, if it is your rib, shouldn't it hurt when you are doing the exercises that are aggravating it?

I have days like those, my diet and exercise play a role in helping or hurting my mood- exercise and fresh veggies = better mood. On those days, I pull all the tricks I have to get me going in the right direction. Music helps. I wish you the best, my friend. :flowerforyou:

When I was very depressed, I ate carbs like a lunatic. I had been steadily getting worse, year after year until I didn't realize that my habits were not my own... they creeped up on me, slowly, and in time the symptoms of depression seemed more like my personal failings than a disease. Even on the rx meds, I was sick- just…

I eat most my meals at home, I am dead serious about my health and I am open to new friends. You can add me! 8)

I drink kombucha tea. It gives me energy for the workout and is awesome for boosting my immunity to viruses, keeps my hair skin and nails healthy and also seems to make me require less sleep in general. Naturally low cal. Most people do not like the flavor- it is dry and sharp, but can be mixed with juice before drinking…

the greasy air biscuit my husband lofted in the work out room has dissipated! HOOOOORAYYYYYYYY! The negotiations for the release of the chocolate hostages was successful! Flushed away- HOOOOORRAAAAYYYYY! If I read scores of nonsensical positive remarks, my brain doesn't know the difference! HOOORRRAAAAYYYYYY! It somehow…

I had similar problems, and the hospital staff were morons. Really. It was very difficult. I am sorry that happened to you. Most obvious thing to the above poster: she is a great mom!

oh... sorry. that was just the first thing I thought. (I guess my mind is always on feeding my kid) Beautiful baby! :flowerforyou:

that baby is looking down your shirt at the milk mountains

awesome work! you look great!

Do you do any strength training? I noticed that after I began to increase the intensity of my strength workouts, my appetite increased. I do cardio and floor exercises (push ups, crunches, lunges, squats, calf raises etc). And when I do this I gain weight (muscle) or just plateau for awhile and then I lose weight (fat).…

I am always open to new friends! anyone can add me. 8) :flowerforyou:

For me, mantras are specifically designed for the user. In my practice, I 'keep silence' about the specifics of this work, because talking about it in specific tends to disperse the energy and focus. I hunted down the root cause of my inability to maintain discipline for my health goals. I stalked them, identified them and…

Anyone looking for a new friend can add me! :flowerforyou:

yeah... he was being a jerk. You have as much right as anyone to all of the equipment, but you are right- there is a perception that you are less entitled because you are lifting less. Some people think that way- they are more important because they are more fit, are lifting heavier. RAWWWWWRRRR~ all inferior members must…

When I hear those sorts of hateful remarks that people make about themselves, regardless of their current external condition, I just feel so sorry for them. The saying is true- hatred hurts the hater- not the hated. Don't confuse compassion with weakness or denial. To all the haters out there- feel free to keep on hating,…

yea! go get it girl! Don't let anything get in your way!~ :glasses:

going to my dresser now to pull out those old t shirts.... awesome! Thanks!

This sounds right to me. Do some strength training, and some cardio, have fun, laugh, enjoy yourself... I am glad to hear you are doing it this way- it is so much healthier and, in my opinion- (having done it by starving myself in the past), EASIER.

I have been using cannabis sativa for over a year to treat major depression and chronic pain. Cannabis can treat many different conditions int he body because of the endocannabinoid system we have in our bodies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xPmR8j4plw good luck.

Soon after the cannibal tribe began eating hippies like me, hippies became an endangered species. They found the meat savory and tender (because of their tendency to be relaxed all the time), energizing and nutritive (because of their health-nut-granola-bark-organic-nongmo-local eating habits) and somewhat intoxicating…

Hating in general just doesn't work for me. I love my body, and as a result I am going to treat it better. I don't do good things, or things which take a lot of time, effort, energy etc for things or people I hate. I choose love instead, it works for me. I put energy into the things and people I love. And that includes my…

I make it a goal every 2 weeks to not weigh myself for 2 weeks. So, I weigh myself twice a month. When I realized that weighing myself was a negative mood producing event most of the time, most likely to make me feel any range of negative feelings, I gave it up. Good luck!

I made the resolution that my health is more important than anything else in the world, including my children's Wants. What they want more than the 1 hour a day I exercise, is a mom who is alive and healthy-... so, everyone has to sacrifice a little. The kids will survive if you do the things you need to do to have…

wow... you did a great job! :flowerforyou:

I believe there is a third choice... you know how people say love it or leave it? I believe in changing it- like the same way I am changing my body. I am a veteran and I love my country- I don't see myself leaving. I am a big fan of the criminal changers- people like Rosa Parks and Gandhi. I don't know what the majority of…

I really don't want to go through my day being high. Sometimes, for a certain purpose it is great, but in general- I just find it a little annoying in the long run. That's why I take the canna butter at night. I just don't notice it when I am sleeping so well (something I didn't have for years). I am now a mom who can…

You are very welcome. 8) Don't give up on regaining the quality of your life. You can do it. I did. :flowerforyou:

I have had chronic pain and major depression for many years- every year it got worse. I have a herniated disc in my c spine and the meds really didn't work, were too much a threat to my life/health and hurt my kidneys pretty bad. So I quit. I moved to a state which has a medical cannabis program and I have been taking it…
