• I'm still lurking...

  There have been some exciting things going on with life and work and such. Just last week I hung out with Scott, aka Rimmstar here on Xanga. We've been internet friends thanks to Xanga for 11 years now and finally met face to face. We spent a great day together walking an epic approximate 20km or so. We walked all around the sea wall through Yaletown and up Burrard to Robson St. I had to show him the two Starbucks kitty-corner to each other on Robson and Thurlow. He got a kick out it. We walked down to Gastown from there and stopped for lunch at Steamworks. After lunch we continued our walk down the Cole Harbour side of the sea wall and walked from one end of Denman St to the other for some ice cream at Marble Slab. With ice cream in hand we started walking the sea wall from English Bay and around Stanley Park. I wish I had made it all the way around the Stanley Park sea wall, but with all the previous walking we had already done I wasn't just tired I was in pain. We cut through the park instead and I went home once we reached a skytrain station. Overall it was a wonderful day The next day, however, I have never had hips so sore. My legs were okay, it was just my hips and a blister on my foot. I couldn't sit cross-legged for a few days, lol. Actually, it's been a week and my right hip still feels stiff. I need to go back to the gym and work it out. But thank you, Scott! I'm so glad I could show you my city

  Speaking of going to the gym I need to start going again. I lost some weight and put some back on. It's amazing the difference 5 lbs can make. But I need to go back not because I feel like I need to shed these five pounds, but rather strengthen my hips again. I know they're aching quite a bit right now due to hormones. Now that I've come off the pill my hormones are doing their own thing and I've been doing some tracking to know that their aching from hormones, but I think the aching could be curbed through exercise. I think I'm extra sore this time around because of all the walking I did last week as well. I'm also thinking about seeing a chiropractor. I've been getting this shooting pains into my hips and tailbone, kind of like sciatica. They're sharp enough to make me stop and catch my breath. I'm not sure what to do with it other than go to the clinic, but I could probably benefit from a chiropractor none the less.

  It's important that I get my back sorted out soon because Nate and I have decided to go for a baby, which is why I've come off the pill. I'm so excited! I was way too excited a month ago, but now the excitement has settled down a bit. I was trying charting and all that, but I want to take it easy and let it happen not force it happen. From what I've heard through various conversations the pregnancies that always seem to happen are the ones couples aren't even trying for. If I chart and try to time the sex with the charting I'll only make myself frustrated for every month that I don't get pregnant. Obviously I'd like to get pregnant as soon as possible and I don't think it should take long because I'm healthy and so is Nate and we've been down this road before. We just need to make sure we're doing the deed consistently and nature will take care of the rest.

  Anyway I think I've blabbed enough for one day, lol.
