My back has not stopped hurting since last week. I now have not worked out in over a week, because of the pain. I went to see the doctor on Thursday, when the first series of pain meds they gave me didn't work, and they gave me Toradol and a muscle relaxer. They also gave me a referral to a physical therapist, who apparently specializes in backs. My first appointment with him is Wednesday, 4/20.
I am freaking out a little about my weight. I was already freaking out before my back started really hurting, and now I'm not even working out at all. My weight has continued to go up...I was at 176 this morning!
My doctor did say last week that it was a very good thing that I did not continue to work out after my back got bad. Which, I still feel like I was being totally lazy by sitting on my fat ass...but whatever, it's doctor-sanctioned. Sigh.
I want to get a plan together for starting to work out again, but I don't know if I should do this until after I see the physical therapist. Maybe just some light stuff on the Wii Fit...I can't imagine that doing Yoga on the Wii Fit would be a problem. I also might see if I can borrow my step-father's inversion table...I've heard that just 5-10 minutes per day on that can make a difference.
I need to lose some damn weight, and it is BEYOND frustrating to me to have yet another roadblock. I am just absolutely twitching in my skin wanting to actually move, and I can't. GRRRRR.
Ok, I've taken too long to write this entry, and I'm just running around in one frustrated circle. Later.
