Day 456

So the journey has hit a pothole in the path.  It seems my back issue has become a major problem.  This morning I couldn't actually get dressed.  When I tried to bend over to put on my socks the back spasms drove to my knees and took my breath away.  I ended up calling work and taking the day off.  I could barely move and when I could it was at a very slow and gingerly pace.  By the mid morning, after taking some ibuprofen and icing my back I was feeling better.  Then I sat down on my couch to read, rather than watch more TV on the computer and when I got up it hit me again.  I spent the rest of the day warily moving around and trying to get comfortable.
When bed time rolled around I was feeling a bit better but still not close to feeling like it was over.  Tomorrow will tell and possibly I'll have to go to the chiropractor.  Actually that is probably a good idea.

Didn't eat much today but here it is:

Breakfast: Egg, skinny bun, turkey, avocado, and tomato.  20oz of cold water.

Lunch: Green salad with a hard boiled egg, sautéed broccoli and bacon, cottage cheese, crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, and dressing.

Dinner: Cottage cheese, broccoli and bacon, and salsa.

So I'll see how I feel in the morning and decide then if I'm going to work.  It looks like I will be skipping the gym again this week and possibly Padden for a week.  I'll have to talk to L about Sat.
