Laid Up

Perhaps the reason we had such a low key weekend was due to the fact I could hardly move. Mysteriously, during a very physically demanding afternoon of movie watching, I threw my back out. At first, it felt like nothing more than a pinched nerve, something I encounter from time to time. A long night's sleep usually does the trick and I'm good as new in the morning. Not so this time. It's day three and I can still hardly move. Once I'm up standing I can walk around... as long as I don't need to bend or reach.

I'm home from work and have been laying on the couch all day, hoping for some relief. Now that I'm into my third hour of Cribs: Teen Edition, I'm beginning to think any pain is better than seeing Lil' Romeo's new home.

I guess this is just another testament to my need for muscle tone. Yoga, running and weight training really can't be put off any longer.
