Fed up. My leg was feeling better. So today I decided to do my half hour of housework. Just clear some boxes out of the understairs cupboard. Reaching gently for a box I had this explosion of pain in my lower left back and hip area. Hoped it was a spasm of some kind, but after lying on the sofa for 2 hours it's really flaring up. I've completely torn or ripped something somehow, doing the most innocent movement possible and and I'm fucked. I'm in agony trying to walk. So that's my exercise and my real life social life (running group) all gone in one go. Race I've trained months for gone. Not sure what the way back is. I feel sick and like I'm going to burst into tears. For absolute fuck's sake, can my life just not go right for 2 minutes without something ELSE going wrong? Just when I'd sorted the money and the work and a taken a bit of time for myself, bang, something else is fucked. Oh well, I suppose i'll have to catch some good feelings from the pain relief I've got stacked up 😢 I booked a non refundable trip to the coast in a couple of months, the first time I've booked anything in 5 years, chances are I will not be able to walk unaided at this rate.

I went out and got a bento box lunch that was almost, but not entirely, unlike sushi. Everything was good, even the poor lady at the counter who had to put up with my several questions. Just to be clear, I would be more terse if there was a line, but Sunday afternoon is not a lunch rush.
As I left the restaurant, I noticed that I was feeling better. I was even more relaxed driving home than usual.
Now I am home and I feel like a giant invisible endoscope is in my trachea(?) trying to suck my digestive system out from the inside. I have had an endoscopy before, and I was able to experience the pleasure of having something shoved down my throat right before the anesthesia kicked in. It hurt.
Now I’m getting that much pain emotionally. I can’t put my finger on it, but when I feel scared, it brings up painful memories of being trapped in an inpatient facility where I wasn’t getting care, but they also wouldn’t let me go until I was better. Not a good feeling.

I should post this in the exercise thread but here it is. I gained 20 pounds last year. Today I went for a brisk walk and my friend commented that it was the first time in years that I struggled with walking. Must be the extra weight I am carrying. I have got to do something although I’m trying the best I can. I just hope that I can do it
I don’t know if you want to get motivated, so if not, you can safely skip this.
If you do feel like motivation would help, I can say what works for me. I got this from @Angie here.

The technique is to set a timer for 10 minutes, and force yourself to do something that is on your list. After the 10 minutes, you can stop. Chances are that you’ll feel motivated to keep going, though.
Sleepy. I know it’s very common to get a sugar crash a couple hours after eating. Here I am, and I’m not just a little tired. I want a nap and I am barely functioning.
Might have something to do with the leftover Easter candy for breakfast. In my defense, the Peeps candy was $0.23 a box, from about $1.75, after Easter. So I have 6 boxes of sugar coated marshmallows.

No, I mean it’s mostly chocolate, but there are also candies that are fruit flavored, e.g., jelly beans or gummy candy.
Then there’s the pure sugar candy called Peeps. (Click the word for link to description) There are also chocolate coated marshmallows, and candy coated chocolate malt balls, which as far as I can tell is a miniature biscuit in spherical form.
And we wonder why the rest of the world thinks our desserts are far too sweet 🙄
