Sheesh, what a rough start this morning. I found it VERY hard to get out of bed at 5AM today. Probably because I stayed up too late last night. When I did get up I had that feeling like I was coming down with something. And the icing on the cake was a terrible back pain. I'm pretty sure that the back pain (which actually started yesterday) was caused by having my laptop backpack slung over my shoulder all day on Saturday while at a conference. My laptop is heavy and that is the only thing that I can think of that would cause this. It hurt so bad this AM that when I would sniff real hard to clear my nose (allergies) my knees would just about buckle due to the pain in the lower right of my back.

But... I DID get out of bed, and I DID do my YogaX workout. I had to modify YogaX a bit because of my back pain, and because of this I didn't get a very strenuous workout, but I felt better mentally afterward. I could not do Upward Dog AT ALL so I modified that and a few other moves.

The good news is now that it is mid-morning I feel MUCH better than I did this AM. I don't feel like I'm coming down with anything now. And thanks to Advil my back feels much better too.

Five days to go!!

Till next time... Bring It!
