FINDING OUT I NEED SPINE SURGERY? | diagnosis of my running injury, trying to be positive lol !!!

[@Jessica.mnm8901]

Holly I truly wouldn’t have noticed if you didn’t workout once in a vlog. Not to discredit your hard work and your fitness content, it is amazing. But I think the majority of us are here solely to watch you because we enjoy it!

[@hollyb_fitness]

this means so much, thank you for the lovely comment Jessica xxx

[@chantelofeast]

Trust me, most of us are sitting on our plump posteriors watching this, PLEASE give yourself the rest and recovery you need, no one sensible is gonna judge you. I have now had to take extensive rest from years of a full-on schedule of weight training, advanced reformer and being a construction manager as a day job. I’m now having to change my mindset, put recovery first and go a little easy on myself despite the buzz all the training gives me. All the best Holly.

[@hollyb_fitness]

Thank you so much. It's funny isn't it, how hard it is to take our own advice and rest because I would say the same to you! I hope you are looking after yourself xx

[@rayneMasilela]

Oh Holly my heart goes out to you ❤️‍🩹 you’re such a vibe 💕

[@amandamaccs]

Holly, I would get medical advice from the UK for something this big. American doctors are cowboys! Surgery should be a last resort, if it's just pain when you run it's not needed. These surgeries can go wrong and could lessen your over all quality of life. I think if you spoke to a doctor in the UK you'd get a very different approach and advice. Love your content, and I'd watch anything you put out.

[@hollyb_fitness]

This is such a great perspective and something I've sadly heard a lot about surgeons here!! Thank you so much for the advice and lovely comment 🥰

[@amberowens8816]

Hi Holly! As someone who has a chronic back injury ( 2 herniated discs, arthritis, and bilateral SI joint dysfunction) there is something really freeing about the acceptance that comes from knowing what's wrong. I still struggle from chronic pain BUT there are just as many things I can still do as there are that I cannot do. BEST of luck on your back journey!!!!!!

[@hollyb_fitness]

I'm so sorry yo hear about your back injury but I completely agree with you!! Good luck with your journey too!

[@swandogmillionaire]

Match the fittie!!!!!! Glad to see you’re feeling positive about all that’s going on! X❤

[@mikaelar4030]

We watch you for you holly don’t feel bad not showing workout videos!!! I have seen so many people be able to river and manage spinal injuries at my work it’s part mental game as well and how you see injury impacts how it feels but you sound like you have great medical team around you all the best !!

[@MichaylaJohnston]

I am so sorry you’re experiencing this! I had spinal surgery 2 years ago. You’re not alone. You’re so strong and capable. Sending the best vibes. 🤍

[@rachelmcdonald6092]

You and Nala are such a dynamic duo love it

[@hollyb_fitness]

two peas in a pod!

[@staceyspencer8113]

IS THIS EVEN A QUESTION, MATCH WITH HIM!!! It's a power move, honestly - like, if you match with him he knows that you are taking a risk (which is fun + cool) - also men all have egos (don't we all) and he will be THRILLED that his cute neighbor matched with him. Even if he didn't take interest before, he will be taking an interest now! keep us updated!! also if a dude ghosts, omg he is immature. I hope this man would be mature enough to be able to handle a fun relationship in the building! OVER communication is key!!!

[@marieegenaes]

So sorry about your injury, maybe the operation is something you should do rather soon to be able to move on and not get any other injuries from your body trying to protect itself? I think it’s easy to get new injuries in these cases because you (without thinking about it) move differently when in pain? I don’t know. But I know Nalu is incredibly cute and fluffy, and you should match the cutie in your building! Imagine what might happen, so romantic ❤

[@hollyb_fitness]

Thank you so much for the lovely comment! I completely understand your point, it's 100% valid but thats why I'm going to be working with a professional now to help guide me through trying to manage this in a non-surgical route! Surgery right now just seems very drastic, especially seeing as I am young I would love to give my body a chance to strengthen up and see if its possible to work around the surgery! Nala says thank you hehe x

[@kellyhartigan2518]

Loved this video. Have a great week Holly. You are going to be ok ❤

[@catherinestephenson1139]

Your doodle fur baby just simply melts my heart OMG so fluffy and beautiful enjoy every second love from the UK xxx❤️🐶❤️🐶

[@littleanina1]

I am so sorry Holly - definitely dont do anything because of this channel / us, focus on recovery and strength, plus finding other joyful ways of moving (hiking, walking, yoga, pilates, cycling maybe, swimming) to be prepared for surgery recovery. Wishing you all strength on this journey. Also always get a second opinion before having surgery 😊

[@lorenag5168]

Love Sundays with Holly and the little furry girl 😘😘

[@mansoor3159]

Holly keep going and creating beautiful contents and your vlogs are so good and I love to watch your vlogs🥹💫💗May God Bless You Always

[@hollyb_fitness]

Thank you!

[@peaches5064]

Holly, I love you and Nalah so much! You are such a positive person. I love your videos, you are such an inspirational beautiful young lady❤

[@AshleyBitton]

Hi sweet Holly! I know it's so hard to have an injury and not feel that runners high, but I really want you to know that what you are doing with pilates and swimming and strengthening your body is really the best thing for preventing injury in the future. Core strength is truly everything, as you said, and literally supports everything!!! I started heated yoga and strength mobility classes this past summer (in Hollywood if you'd like to join! 😎👍) and it has made me appreciate my body and my strength so much. Sending you love always! Hi Nayla! xo 🥰💓💓💓💕

[@ziaakbar2535]

I love you so much Holly. You are honestly one of the most beautiful people I've met on KZbin this year 💖 😊

[@mariamifsud3907]

Hi Holly l hope everything goes well with your spine whatever you choose look after yourself your health is first. Take care of yourself 💗

[@JodieCooper-w6l]

Holly, we love your content no matter what it is!!! Walking Nala is exercise ❤😊

[@Meow-gv6cq]

I felt the same exact way a few weeks ago, I had an abrupt knee injury after running and it was so frustrating not being able to run as it’s my only way of decompressing and relieving stress (besides the gym, but it just doesn’t hit the same as running 😢). I did some yoga and that seemed to help as well as adjusting my routine to do less cardio, more strengthening and more stretching. That helped me heal a bit, I still feel it after my long runs but it’s way better than before. Just gotta keep going ❤

[@hollyb_fitness]

I am so sorry to hear you got injured, I completely relate to what you're saying. Well done on adjusting and follwoing the needs of your body!! It's hard but your running will only benefit in the long run!

[@Meow-gv6cq]

@@hollyb_fitness yes! It’s the best way to see things, it’s a sacrifice in the short term but will only benefit us in the long run. And in the end, it’s truly just a blessing to be able to move our bodies. I’m gonna try your strategy of writing 3 things I’m grateful for everyday too!

[@hannahcollardgray4448]

I have a strong core, but I hate the gym so I joined F45, because classes are so motivational. Keep going with your recovery.

[@CharlotteRussell___]

I feel like the "match" option is deffo for-the-plot vibes 😂 self preservation vibes are to start chatting a bit more each time you see him (ooooor try and find him on one of the apps where you don't know they liked you till you match! 👀)

[@hollyb_fitness]

honestly living for the plot always gets me in trouble but hehe why not 🤣

[@CharlotteRussell___]

😂😂 same here, it’s a real problem!

[@alliparenteau2747]

truly loved your vlogs regardless of the fitness content !!!

[@paigedelisen7221]

not me trying to watch the argument on the street from your sunglasses 😂

[@bridgettaylor2467]

I think you should just do it into person, next time you see him just make conversation even just be like hey do you know any good places to walk a dog? I got a puppy and trying to find somewhere not to busy to take it on a walk

[@hollyb_fitness]

yes ok, use Nala as cute bait for the date, love it and noted

[@Amy-yc6rt]

You could just say you liked him on Hinge as it's handy to have a way of communicating with a neighbour for neighbourly things 😅

[@hollyb_fitness]

ok this is kind of genius, I could play it off as a friendly thing worst case scenario lol

[@TheLexiJess]

Holly, not to lessen the seriousness of your injury, but consider getting a second opinion on the surgery. Back surgery is a huge surgery and usually a last resort. Maybe some other doctors and functional specialists can help you in different ways, before just recommending surgery! Xxx Same happened to me and I got control over my back pain by doing rehab. My disc is still herniated - but no pain (for now). Good luck!

[@elizabeththompson1525]

I’d go for it with the guy in your building- not on the apps though. Next time you see him let Nala jump on him and then apologize and say I owe you one- how about coffee? So authentic!!!

[@Monikasfit]

i have hernia disk and i cant run and its hard i know its hard! some days are ok and some days are like hell 😭 the pain is 24/7 i feel u ❤ be strong!

[@emmawing340]

So so proud of you ❤

[@MrsKatieQ]

Definitely match with him. See what happens!😊

[@chloeudall]

Hey Holly! One - another great video. Really look forward to your uploads!! Two - Nala is the cutest!!🥹 The perfect duo! Three - SHOOT YOUR SHOT! You’ve got one life!! It’s not that deep. If he doesn’t match - his loss and so what! Wasn’t meant to be! BUT ya never going to know if you don’t tap that button!!! GO ON GIRL! X ps - patiently waiting for your next upload!!🤣♥️

[@Tombgirl1991]

I love your comment… wish I had the balls when someone says this to me 😅

[@hollyb_fitness]

okay I love this mentality, ok ok ok you've given me the kick I needed lol

[@chloeudall]

@@Tombgirl1991 no you’ve got this! Because really, what’s the worst that can happen?! Keep shining💫

[@chloeudall]

@@hollyb_fitness I’ll be patiently waiting for an update in the next vlog🙃🤣🙌🏽♥️

[@fitwithkatrin]

sending you much, much love ♥

[@soraya7]

No don’t match, start an in person conversation…

[@supersinajin5054]

I mean if you already know he is open to dating, that is the best situation to make a move :)

[@sarahlauren1240]

A suggestion if you want it, treat walk time as the most boring unexciting thing as you are getting the lead and leaving the house to minimise pulling and jumping at the start of a walk :)

[@katieowen8946]

Love ya giiiirrrl ❤

[@sandrabusk2347]

Nala looks so cute 🥰

[@motivepilates]

If you want to try mat Pilates at home, I have 100+ classes on my channel which if I say so myself are SPICY 🔥

[@Jessica.mnm8901]

I have a 2 year old doodle and EVERY time I pick him up from the groomers it’s shocking 💀💀 but after a couple days they look more normal

[@constancellc]

Match with him, if he doesn't match back or he ghosts you just pretend he doesn't exist

[@katielifts4538]

Omigosh girlie please match cos would be cutest story🥹💕

[@kristinafourer9656]

I’ve been on a date with someone who lived a few floors above me and it was a great date but I didn’t have much sexual attraction. I’ve then told him and we never saw each other again for 8 months after and I moved out lol. If you see him all the time - then it Might be awkward. But if you don’t - then maybe it’s worth it? But also, I think maybe try throwing hints when you see him next instead of matching online

[@justinemillar4850]

Girl you reeeeeally need to look into the clinic - ways2well

[@amparogonzalez7839]

girl, about the man, forget raya or hinge. invite him directly out, you have the 'no' already

Ingesting sand is really bad for your dog's digestive tract and could potentially lead to an emergency situation

[@jesusm2159]

Saludos happy Sunday

[@sana7777aloul]

If he lives in your building make a move in real life!!

[@EL-gl2nq]

Don’t match him! Don’t shit where you sleep! 😂

[@MellowsFitLife]

NEVER date anyone you will have to see if it ends. Thats where you live or work or a friend of a friend. I personally love a good clean break. Delete you off my socials then out of sight out of mind.
