Ugh, yesterday I got a pinched nerved in my back and it was to the point that I couldn't even dress myself or even get out of bed on my own!
Thankfully I was able to get into a chiropractor right away and that helped so I can at least walk around and do basic things but I still can't lift much and need lots of rest. He said I could probably start working out next week.
I'm really nervous going a week without working out! I'm someone who needs HARD workouts to stay motivated. If I had the time I'd be running miles on end every day (ok, no time for that but I would love it). I've never been able to pull off a diet without working out so I'm pretty scared for this week. It's so sad too because I finally just got back down to 210 (I was seeing some crazy fluctuations before that) and I was really looking forward to getting under 210 finally!
I have started phase 1 of the south beach diet this week but it's NOT going to be easy because I really need to get some groceries in order to stick to it but there's no way I can go to the grocery store now (especially since we don't have a car so normally I have to wear DD on my back while carrying two huge bags on the subway or bus). I bugged DH the entire day yesterday to go but he refused and I'm *hoping* he'll go today but even then he's not very careful looking at labels and has many time brought back stuff I couldn't eat. So right now I have very limited food options, which makes it even harder for me to stay on plan.
I'm just really scared! I know I need to stick to it but I'm really questioning how that's going to be possible....
