I had a rough start

After suffering with 3 herniated discs, going to a neurologist, I discovered one of the discs was pressing on my sciatic nerve. I've been to physical therapy, chiropractors, the whole route. In January, I saw Marjolein on QVC and decided this was going to be my New Year's resolution. I've had lost 30 lbs. and turned 48 years old and wanted to get in better shape. I had a rough start, because everyday I would blow my back out even before starting pilates. I was on pilates for 3 weeks straight and started feeling so much better. My tummy from a hystectomy was even going down. I bent the wrong way one day and threw my back out. I landed in the hospital with a prescription for pain killers. My oldest son is getting married in August 2008 and all I want to do is to be able to dance with my son. I started back on pilates 7 days ago and believe it or not even though I can hardly make it upstairs, it makes me feel so much more limber when I get done with the 20 minutes on the dvd. After doing the pilates I lay on my bodipedic bed and totally relax before coming back downstairs.
