Greys & Things

Yesterday, I decided it was time to start loosing weight.  I think about it all the time, but I have a hard time motivating myself.  I decided yesterday was the day.  I started watching what I put in my mouth and in the afternoon, I used my Total Gym.  I purchased my Total Gym in 2001 and really like it.  I haven’t used it regularly in quite a while.  I only did leg exercises yesterday and felt fine when I was through exercising.  I sat back down in the office and went back to work.  When I got up from my chair I realized that I hurt my back.  It was that familiar pain.

I’m not sure why I didn’t immediately soak in the tub yesterday.  It was probably because I was having trouble with my Internet connection and spent an hour on the phone with a representative trying to fix it which was a priority to me over my back.  My Internet is very important to me since I work at home.   I have been very happy with AT&T as my Internet provider.  The representative put in a work order on the issue.  I’m concerned because she doesn’t think it is my problem, but a tower’s problem.  I would rather it be my problem because I think that would be easier to fix.  I’m somewhat worried about it, but after working at home for 14 years and facing many computer problems, I am realizing that stressing over it does not help.  It seems to be somewhat better this morning, but it was better yesterday morning too and then got really bad as the day went on.  I have a strong signal, but we couldn’t even do a speed test on it because it was timing out.

Back to the back… This morning when I tried to get out of bad, I had spasms.  That’s what I call them. I can deal with a sore back, but the spasms are very painful.  I couldn’t stand up straight and it was very difficult to walk.  I took a pain reliever and then a long hot shower.  I then put a pain killing cream on it.  I am now able to walk almost normal, but still very slowly.  I have to take Jack to the vet later today for his annual check up and I just hope that I am able to do that without having spasms.   I really do not want to scream out in pain while I’m at the vet’s office.

I will not be exercising today that is for sure.  LOL
