Breaking the rules

I know that this is my second post of the day..
I’m sure there’s some unwritten blogging rule against that
But, look at how much I don’t care..

I’ve mentioned a million times Lucas and I are going to Nashville at the end of April.
We had planned to do a half marathon..
But, after getting one of the girls from work on board
(Since she’s moving to Nashville in a few days.. WAH)
We have all decided that we are insane to think we can be ready for 13 miles..
We’re going to do the mini marathon..
In all honesty, I used the half marathon as an excuse to go to Nashville.
Plus it’s for St. Jude Children’s Hospital

Now, I don’t feel pressured to get fit.
I will let you all know that I have been working out daily!!
I have also been eating great!

Except yesterday I decided to have 5 pizza rolls…
Karma did a great job because I burnt the roof of my mouth..
Actually, I burnt it so bad I had burn blisters.. awesome.

I have had a bit of an issue with working out though..
I’m not sure if I’ve ever mentioned I hurt my back when I was 15
(because I was an idiot and got too star struck at a concert..)
I still have issues with my lower back because of it..
Often the pain will go down to my legs and it’s almost unbearable
But considering 5 years ago I was too stubborn to go to the hospital..
I’m still too stubborn to bring it up to my doctor.

However, that’s not the issue…

I’m almost positive I have a pinched nerve in my upper back.
Under my shoulder blade. And, it’s not fun!
I actually might go get a deep tissue massage tomorrow morning.
My mom had one and they sent her to physical therapy and she said it made it worst.
She went to a chiropractor and within a week it was completely better..
I’m so desperate at this point.
I’ve learned to tolerate the pain of my lower back..
But I want this pain gone.
Have you ever had a pinched nerve? What do you recommend?

Guess what, wonderful readers of mine?
I get all day and all tomorrow with my love!
I’m so excited!!

Hope you all are having a wonderful Thursday!!!

Oh.. and two pictures I took from my boss’ phone.
From St. Patrick’s Day!

    I know you posted this awhile ago but when I'm bored I like to go back and read old blogs. Anyway...sounds like your sciatic nerve. It will continue to hurt. You def need a chiropractor or a doctor. That's the longest nerve in your body and it controls your leg, hip, foot and toes. Kind of a big deal! Hope it feels better soon.

You can’t blog with us!

I’m not digging all of these big shot bloggers trying to make these rules for blogging. I have read posts about how not everyone should have a blog. If you’re not a big shot blogger, like myself.. this post is for you. If you are a big shot blogger, this post is also for you.. but, none of you will read this. These are just some of the rules that I don’t follow.. Your blog will be judged by it’s cover. Have a perfect layout. If spending $100 to have some make a layout for my blog means you’ll read my blog and you’ll follow me.. then I don’t give a damn if you’re not following me. Respond to all comments left on your blog. It is important to respond to comments.. however, I do understand why people can’t always respond. Personally.. if you ask me something I most likely will respond. A lot of the time I get comments that pretty much all I can say is “Thank you!” to.. I mean.. I’ll absolutely always respond if you e-mail me.. or even if you comment on instagram.. I respond almost inst

Friday’s Letters!!!!

Dear Bret Michaels, Once I had a film class. It was so badass and made me wish I was an actress. I actually love being in front of the camera acting.. ANYWAYS.. This was the closest I’ve been to you.. when I was on a fake Rock Of Love.. with a fake Bret Michaels.. But, I’ll be seeing you live this Saturday!!! Dear Poison and Def Leppard, See you on Saturday!!!.. I’m pretty damn nervous to party with a bunch of people older than my mom. But, thank you for giving me an excuse to have extra big hair and dress like I belong in the 80’s.. I’ll look better than all these old chicks that still live in the 80’s.. Just sayin’.. Dear Friday’s Letters, You always make me so happy to write! I love that this link up always gets me so much positive feedback! It always makes my Friday so much better!..
