Frustration

So I hurt my back again. 

 Beyond the fact that I am in complete pain and just hobble around my office, I am also just so frustrated right now.  I was on vacation last week so I didn’t really do too much exercise and was looking forward to coming back, having a work out with Terri and then really getting back into my routine.  Lately, for no reason I’ve been able to identify, I’ve been actually wanting to go to the gym, motivation has not been a problem.  That is why this is so frustrating.  I also haven’t been eating the best which I wasn’t overly worried about because typically when I’m exercising regularly I don’t have to worry about my food as much and then my eating just takes care of itself- I start to be better without even really thinking about it.  Now, since I physically can’t work out, I feel like I need to be even more on top of my food intake which is even harder now because I’m sad and just want to eat a chicken parm or something.

 Totally irrational, but I feel like I’m being conspired against! What I want is to get healthy again so I can work out.  I feel like mentally I have been in a good place and I was excited to really start pushing myself and trying to get to the gym more often on my own.  Now I just have one more obstacle in my way.  So I guess all I can do is concentrate on resting up and getting better and not doing any damage on the eating side- which is just frustrating…

    Now.. I’m no doctor, but.. I’m thinking after a week of complete rest (with naproxin and heating pad), a little cardio on a treadmill or walking a mile or two wouldn’t be bad on the back.

    Again.. I’m totally unqualified to give this advice, but it might be something you can ask your doctor.
