Pain and More Pain

Saturday I helped Donna clean the house.  I did the cat boxes, vacuumed upstairs and down, cleaned the bathroom and kitchen.  When vacuuming the living room, I moved the coffee table and the recliner back and I don't think I should have done that because my back started to hurt way worse.  That night Donna took me to the ER because urgent care was closed.  They gave me a prescription for stronger medications to help with the pain.  He said that I should keep myself rested, no working out, no stretching.  Basically, I can walk dogs at work, just not difficult ones, and I can't lift anything over 10lbs.  Sunday I pretty much layed around all day because of my back.  Today I worked 8-6pm, on my lunch break I went to the psychiatrist.  She changed one of my meds.  As of tomorrow morning I will be weened off 2 of my medications...yay me! The less meds the better!  Especially getting rid of that noritriptyline, one of the major side effects was weight gain and increased hunger.  I'm totally missing the gym the last few weeks...I want my back to be better so that I can go back into my normal routine.  One of the things that has been weighing heavy on my mind is my weight.  I am eating smaller portions since I'm not able to workout.  I feel like everyone is concerned about my weight....some people make little comments here and there and it's like really? Seriously? It's  not like I'm 300lbs!  I NEED to fix what's going on in the inside before I can totally focus on losing weight...so the major thing for me to do right now, is fix my emotional status rather than my physical at the moment.  If I put my emotions and crazy stuff out of my head to the side and focus on my weight I'll probably have a crazy meltdown.  Tomorrow I go to chiropractor and physical therapy after working 8-2.
