more whining

mamajoanMy back problem has really been flaring up lately. I'm trying to decide what to do about it, but that kind of depends on what the reason is. My main theories are either the new chair I just got at work (which would suck because the whole reason I switched chairs was the old one made my back hurt!) or something at the gym. I've been trying a few new machines at the gym, and adding more weight on the machines I always do, so I guess it could be that. I also tried the stationary bike at level 3 instead of 2 the last couple times I went (makes the pedals harder to push) and that got me REALLY sweaty, so that could be it.
Melissa blamed leaning over the roulette table for her back pain the other day, but that was a few days ago now and I've taken a few hot showers, so you wouldn't think that would still be having such a major effect. This morning, just getting into my car was torture. I had to lean the seat back to try to straighten out my spine, and I don't like driving that way.
Sitting in my chair at work isn't causing a ton of agony right now, so I'll tentatively cross off that theory. Maybe see if any machine at the gym feels particularly painful tonight. And maybe it's time to call the Muscular Therapy Institute and see if I can get a massage in before I leave for the choir tour in ... ack! ten days!
In other news, I brought some of my leftover chocolate from the Chocolate Fest. I'll either sit here eating it all day, or try to inflict some of it on coworkers. I realized that if I leave it in the fridge at home it'll never get eaten, 'cause I'm never home and stuff. And that would be tragic. So now I'm eating a little pretzel, dipped in chocolate and then rolled in crushed Heath bars. Yum.
