Miracle Ball





So I've been suffering with back pain for a really long time.. almost too long to remember back. At least 3 years or more. I've sought help through doctors, had MRI's, tried chiropractic, massage therapists and I've been working out with my trainer for 6 months and have had some relief but still I have back pain. I'm sure this will be an ongoing thing for the rest of my life( herniated discs, degenerative arthritis and a twisted disc blah blah blah) and I am prepared to deal with it; however I refuse to let it take me down! I want to be able to stand behind the chair all day and not have any pain. Is it possible?  I did some research and discovered these little blue miracle balls. Yes, I said it; blue balls! I love them! No pun intended.lol  I've only had them a couple of days but I've tried a couple of the methods in the book for pain relief and Oh My GOSh what a difference already! I used them this morning under my hips during my work out as well.Today was Ab day. I have no pain!
I guess they help to re-align and elongate the spine. I will continue to use them daily, it only takes about 10 minutes total a day. You can even lay on them while watching TV. The key is breathing and relaxing. Who knew? I will update in a couple weeks about these little miracle balls and see if they are still working. So far so good though. I'm excited!

I have so many journals going ( food journal, exercise journal, art journals, etc. ) I hope I can keep up with it all!  lol

I promised myself I would do better with my blog this year. I really dropped the ball last year. Not that many people read it but still it feels good to write about stuff and share thoughts.

Today I will spend with my daughter teaching her make up techniques and goofing around doing girly stuff. I hope to do some art as well. I feel my creativity coming back some. I have to thank my dear friend Missy for always being there to kick my butt into gear and keeping me motivated to do some art! You're the best!

I'm off to be girly now! Have a wonderful day filled with laughter and love!

About Me

My photo
So this is the part where I tell you about me. Hmmm well, I'm Lori, mother of 4 grown children, wife of one very kind and patient man, fan of coffee and smoothies, reading others blogs, connecting with friends. I'm obsessed with cars, music and art. Lover of animals as you will see tons of pics of my fur babies. I live in the exciting state of Kansas. No Kansas is not all flat, just most of it! I have been a hairdresser for over 25 years, 12 of which I taught. You can usually find me texting on my phone, watching a good movie, reading a good book, diddling in something artistic whether it looks good or not,playing in the garden, doing hair, cooking,shopping online and dreaming about all the things I think I need but never buy,messing with my car or out and about just driving because it feels good. or just being out and about with my friends or family. I made the dream of Salon ownership happen and I am now a proud grandmother of Loren born July 17, 2011 :-)
