I know exercise isn’t my forté, but I didn’t expect to have to stop a week and a half in…
The other night I screwed up my back something fierce, putting myself into a massive amount of pain all the way around my lower ribs and lower back. As you can imagine, getting right out there the next morning for a fitness walk wasn’t exactly my highest priority.
When I did give walking a go, I ended up either limping slightly or doing this very unattractive waddle.
Mmm. Get me some of that fat girl, yeah?
Anyway, so I took yesterday off and I’m taking today off as well. The pain has (thank the health gods) moved away from my ribs and is mostly settled into my hips, which is infinitely more tolerable. The limp seems to have disappeared for today, but I’m still being extra careful, as the husband and I have an overnight trip coming up, and the last thing I want to do is mess things up again.
I know I’m doing the best thing for my spine and my hips, but I can’t help feeling disappointed still. I had a good thing going.
