The past few days, I have been experiencing a sharp, pinching pain in my lower back. It has gotten so bad that I cannot stand straight. I end having to go lie down on the bed and it is so frustrating.
So, now, I am trying to curb my tendency to drink diet sodas. I am working harder to drink either straight water or unsweet tea. I am better off that way. Maybe, in a month when I see the kidney doctor, my blood work will look much better.
Try harder to eat healthier and curb the tendency to overeat. I would like to say, I would not mind overeating the vegetables. However, I know it is possible, but the calorie count would be less than overeating potato chips or candy. Perhaps, that might have a positive affect on my weight - by dropping weight.
I am so tired of dealing with the back and knee pain. The pain wears me down and I get depressed because I cannot get those things done that I was able to do back in early 2014. It is pretty annoying.
I noticed that a yoga studio is opening up right next door to the apartment complex. It would be nice to get past a lot of this pain and see if yoga could help. I am tired of being exhausted and worn down.
I have noticed that I am walking more. I am working harder to get more than 5000 steps in each day. It is a small goal because for a while, I was getting less than 4000 steps done in a day. I am not going to push 10,000 steps just now. I need to get past the 5000 steps and try for 6000 steps. Baby steps.
I just have to keep reminding myself - this is a LONG haul to change your life. This is not a diet or whatever where I go back to eating like a fool. I have to make life changes. I do not wish to get weight loss surgery - there are way too many "NOs" when I should be able to make the right changes in my life now.
