Pain and exercise just don't mix

I had to cancel my gym meeting on Friday. I've been really under the weather. Possibly didn't give myself enough time to get over all the stress and tiredness after my friends wedding at the beginning of the month. Maybe I should have given myself a couple of weeks before getting in to the exercise again.

It's not been helped by my back pain. It wakes me up every hour or so through the night and I can only stay in bed for about 5 hours at a time. By then the pain is so bad I have to get up and sit on the sofa for a hour or two while my back un-kinks and the pain eases. As i'm an 8 hours a night girl it just means i'm exhausted. Saturday and Sunday i was up at about 5am and back in bed by 9am! So I got my 8 hours sleep but in 2 broken chunks which just doesn't seem to be as effective.

This morning however I am trying to stay awake long enough to make it to aquafit at 9am. So not feeling the love but I need to do it. I've got my first Wobbly Workout tonight too so I may try and get a couple of hours sleep before it.

At least it's only a week until my doctors appointment and 3 weeks until I see my arthritis consultant so hopefully i'll be fixed soon. :)
