Pinched nerves and hummus

Weird title? Yes.

I pinched a nerve in my back today and my back hurts more than it ever has. I can't find a position where I don't hurt. Turning my head hurts. Driving hurts. Not moving even hurts sometimes. So...I decided to not work out tonight. It seemed like a better plan to try and rest and hope this passes by tomorrow so I can work again.

It's my second injury in a week. What's up with that? Plus I think I did it when I was carrying a penny jar to the bank to cash in. I'm collecting change for a charity and the jar was full. Ended up being $20 worth of change so far. Pretty good.

So since I'm all couch-bound tonight I'm trying to eat pretty good since my WW weigh-in is tomorrow. I'm hoping for a 2 lb loss. Cross your fingers.

That's where hummus comes in. I had never tried hummus until last week. Now I can't get enough of it. It's awesome! It's calling me right now. Yes, I know it's healthy, but overeating anything is bad. And I have to hit the scale in less than 24 hours. Ugh! The stress!

Hm. Maybe all my injuries are stress related....

Well, this post has been...bad. Sorry about that. I just wanted to ramble a bit. I'll try for something more intelligible tomorrow.

Intelligible posts are overrated. I like the rambly ones myself...

I love hummus too. I'm going to try and learn how to make it myself. I'm sure it can't be that hard, as long as I can find some chickpeas. :)

How's the pinched nerve today?
