Sometimes…

Sometimes I just want to smack my husband. He gets all ticked off at me because I don’t have a job yet. I have been looking but the job market around here isn’t good at all. Then he goes and tells me I should go on social security disability because of my spinal fusion surgery I had a few years ago. I told him that I am still able to work, I just can’t stand or sit for long periods of time or my back hurts. That is no reason to have myself classified as disabled. Social Security would just turn me down anyway.

I can walk fine. I am allowed to pick up heavy things. The doctor told me, when he released me after the surgery and rehab, not to lift 90 lbs until I’m able to lift 50 lbs. In other words work my way up to heavier and heavier things.

Men!! Can’t live with them.. can’t shoot them! :)

What do you do

I have a question for my readers. I have this “muffin top” problem. I like to call them my puffy lumps though. I wanted to ask my readers what do you do to keep the muffin top monster away? Do you buy phentermine, diet, exercise like crazy or what?

Is there an easy way to get rid of the puffy lumps? There are a lot of exercises/workouts that I can’t do because of my spinal fusion that I had a few years ago. I need something that’s not going to turn my body into one massive painful nerve.

So I’m asking you, my readers, for some tips and tricks. That’s a change… I’m usually the one giving out tips and tricks!
