Other people turn around and laugh at you if you said that these are the best days of our lives
It has been a few weeks since I’ve written, but I have been running 5 times a week. I’ve gotten up to 2.4 miles each time. Not too bad, but I am not doing so well with the food.
I have found that running without calorie reduction isn’t that good. As a matter of fact, in my weigh-in on Monday I was 252.5. What the fuck! I am running more, but I am consuming so many calories I keep gaining more and more weight. This is just annoying.
Speaking of annoying, I have muscle spasms in my back. I didn’t realize how painful muscle spasms are. So I am on a muscle relaxant, an NSAIDs (Non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug) and moist heating pad every evening as well as daily back stretching exercises. The pain burns down my back into the low back. Then, after a long day of sitting at work, my neck starts to ache. I’ve been on the medications for three days and getting slowly better. Slowly being the key word.
That is one of the main reasons I haven’t been able to write. After a long day struggling though the work day I just don’t want to come home and sit in front of a computer (this blog entry has taken my about 1 ½ hours to type so far.) Oddly, I can run with no problem at all. As a matter of fact, running seems to make my back feel better. Not for long, but it does feel better.
Now I need to control calories. But I don’t seem to have any self control. I don’t know why. I want to stop eating so much food; I bring good things to work to eat, then I get there and eat out of the vending machine. Then I get home and just don’t stop. Once I can get back to where I once was, I’ll be good since I’m running.
Well, as long as my back gets back to normal. Being in back pain regularly sucks. Maybe then I can get back to updating this blog regularly while working hard.
Oh, and I’ve grown a beard. For the winter, of course.
