Tuesday!
Popping in to note I'll be out of commission for a bit. Back pain returned with a vengeance on Monday and Tuesday. Have not been able to drive to work. Had x-rays done yesterday. Going to doctor for follow up later today. Hopefully, it's just a severe muscle strain in the back and they can get me some relief. Even with relief, I assume I'll need to avoid a lot of exercise for a few days.
Food: been under (not hungry with the pain). Dropped a few pounds because of it.0 -

Cardio: Stepmill- level 9 to level 15 (300 calories)
Strength: chest- incline bench, Hammer bench, dips, seated flyes. 8x8
Assessment: Stayed well under deficit yesterday.0 -

Thanks, Niner. No fractures. Severe back strain in the trapezius muscle (middle right of my back, upward). Will be seeing chiropractor for 5-10 treatments. She's said I can run when I feel up to that, but wants nothing else for a couple weeks - no overhead lifting, no pushing exercises. Still managing the pain...basic things like driving and bending over hurt. I'm hoping I get the pain down enough to run a little over the weekend.
I'd appreciate any exercise suggestions.
Assessment: Lost a couple pounds (due to not eating much for a few days). Will watch diet carefully while recovering.0 -
