Thanksgiving snag

Thanksgiving for my eating habits usually isn't a terrible disaster. Luckily I'm not usually the person to stuff myself stupid with mashed potatoes and stuffing. However, this year we somehow manifested a dessert table that left little to NOT be desired. I had made sugar-free pumpkin mousse to prevent pumpkin pie overload disaster and then my Grandmother wound up bringing over a second pumpkin pie that had a unique recipe that I just had to try. And then Kelly's mother sent over a chocolate mousse cake. I had a little bit of everything to compromise and not deprive myself so I didn't feel so terrible. The problem was that the next day, National Day of Leftovers, was when I tanked and ate until I was too full. I've gotten so good at eating until I was no longer hungry and that was the first time in a while I ate until I was uncomfortable.

Somehow I managed to be done with Xmas decorations and family time earlier than anticipated yesterday so I was able to get an evening appointment with my trainer. I just immediately drove back from my parents house and was excited about being able to jump back into my health routine. Unfortunately, I ran into a snag when I pulled my back doing one of our workouts. We had to modify the last ten minutes of the workout and then I had to sacrifice doing a lot of cardio after which makes me feel extremely guilty. I even had another session scheduled for this morning but my back is still hurting and I know I won't be able to do anything so I had to cancel. Shane told me to take a few aleve and relax.

How am I supposed to work off the leftover disaster if i can't do any exercising? I'm thinking of maybe just eating very minimally today and hitting up the mall just to walk around and do some Christmas shopping. At least it's not sitting on my butt.

Since starting my rigorous exercising, I haven't had any sort of physical issue or illness to work through. I'm hoping this goes away. FAST
