What I Weigh Today

150.5

Posted by: joymanning In: On my mind| Weigh In

Hi! Happy February. Welcome to my post personal prohibition world. You’d think I’d be celebrating my less-than-perfect-but-still-something-to-be-proud-of period of abstinence. But the thing is, my back has been fried. It still really hurts. I can’t sit at my desk, so I’ve set myself up in a laptop on the floor. It’s a busy week; I have a couple of important appointments that I suspect will keep me from blogging as much as usual, but I humbly request your good vibes/positive thoughts/prayers/best intentions. OK? Thanks in advance. I’ll post again Thursday. See you then.

All good vibes coming your way. I hope your back gets better soon. I know first hand how painful it can be. I was just put in touch with a message therapist that does myofascial release. It really helped with my tail bone that was giving me pain. If you are interested I can tell you what it does. I think you have done amazing with abstinence from wine etc. Not sure I could do it. Hope the rest of your week goes well.

Ugh … so sorry to hear about your back. I have been immobile with back pain myself the past four days, and the last thing I’ve felt like doing is blogging. Take your time. Back pain is horrible. I managed to get to the pool on Monday, but I couldn’t do much more than float around. Muscle relaxers and Tylenol still don’t make the pain go away. I know mine is stress-related … happens about once a year … but ugh, it’s still awful.
