"Bother" said Pooh...
Well, I was feeling like doing some moving this evening, so I pulled out one of my bellydance/fitness tapes, figuring I'd do as much of it as I could...since I've just started working my way back into fitness. I managed about 7 1/2 minutes of the stretching/warm up before my back started to complain mightily.
Now the back pain isn't from the exercise...it's a holdover from when I hurt myself on my trip. But it's affecting my desire to keep on a really quite reasonable fitness plan.
This is officially the last straw. Tomorrow I call my chiropractor and try to get in for an appointment. There is no reason for me to continue to be in pain. And I really don't like that I was SO stiff while trying to bellydance that I looked like a marionette from Hell manipulated by a puppeteer on acid while trying to do some of the moves.
Now, I'd already done my walking workout this morning, and I took a short-ish, brisk-ish walk around the yard at work instead of vegging out at the desk on my break. So I did get some exercise in today.
I'm going to lay out my clothes for tomorrow and climb into bed with a book and an ice pack.
