Back Injury

I’m back to blogging about running. I am inspired by other running bloggers plus I recently injured my back again and have been sidelined from exercising for several weeks now. I finally got desperate enough to go to a chiropractor (I’ve always been distrustful of them). The first thing he told me is that my left leg is shorter than my right resulting in this weird twisty thing that happens when I run, which is most likely the cause of all the back problems I have had.

Anyway, I am already feeling better after last night’s adjustment, but I still had to take some pain meds this morning. I am REALLY hoping that after tonight’s appointment I can run this weekend. I am going absolutely and completely nutso not exercising. AND to make it worse I have been feeling so crummy that I’ve been turning to food.

So today I am going back to very strict calorie counting and attempting to have a more positive attitude about the whole situation.

My brain feels all warm and fuzzy

Hi everybody. As it turns out I have a hard time blogging when I’m all hopped up on vicodin. See what happened is Monday morning I left my house to go to work and leaned over to pick up the Wall Street Journal and HOLY SHIT, I have never felt pain like that in my life. I haven’t stood up straight since. Poor Chuckles has been taking very good care of me even when I scream at him, “DON’T DO THAT! FUUUUCCCKKKK, IT HURTS!” But the nice Doctor lady gave me vicodin and I’ve been high ever since. I hope I’ll be back to normal soon. I start physical therapy next week – cross your fingers that it works because I’m already starting to get a little chubby thanks to the fact that I use the pain as an excuse to eat lots of candy and I am not allowed to work out right now.
