Back Troubles…

uh, oh.

 This weekend while I was holding my son he threw a tantrum in my arms and it threw me off balance and my lower back totally spasmed-up. I tried a few things later on Sunday but…

 I worked last night and it was only sore and I’m already not doing as much physically but today when I got up at 3:30pm I noticed that even moving around moderately, like getting off the couch to go to the bathroom… my lower back is seizing up and it realy hurts to move at all.

I’m nervous about it because now I can’t even Gazelle or walk for exercise. I’ve got to just sit on the couch. I wanted so badly to lose 3 pounds this week and now I’m gonna have to probably not exercise at all this week.

First of all, I hate it on the principle alone. I love to exercise, even easy exercise… every single day… and now I’m stuck on the couch?

And also now I’ll have to watch my diet super duper close. I can’t afford to “cheat” and then make up for it with exercise. I may have to be totally sedentary this week. But I’m pretty sure the calorie level I use, about 1500 calories per day… that will get me to lose some weight even without exercise and I certainly won’t gain anything on that few calories per day.

I’ve just gotta be aware of not binge-ing.

Okay. Hobble back to the couch.
