Crossfit this morning. Back continues to improve but now I am going through that scared period, afraid that if I do too much I will wack it up again.
I have gone back to doing squats rather than step ups but still keeping the squats shallow at least for the rest of the week.
WOD
6 Turkish [...]

Tuesday and Thursday (skipping Wednesday) this week I made it to the JCC gym for my Kettlebell workouts. I did modify them down and only did 3 sets of exercises rather than 5 called for in the planned workout. I am really trying to get back into things without causing anymore harm to [...]

Still in trouble with my back. Did Crossfit yesterday and Kettlebells this morning. Trying to get back to my 5 day a week workout schedule.
I backed down both the Crossfit and KB workouts doing everything possible to avoid further issues with my back. I am able to sleep but in pain most of [...]

Thousands without electricity in Northeast Ohio
Thousands had no electricity in Northeast Ohio — including 41,000 in the Akron area — this morning following gusting winds Sunday that reached 60 to 70 mph.
It was a windy night last night. Our power was about from about 6-10P. I need to clean up some [...]

Slept good again last night. Back is getting better each day. Still hurts during the day but I have become use to that over the years. That pain has shifted back over to the right. Many times this is a good sign. As the back gets better the pain shifts [...]

I actually got some sleep last night. Although my back (really it is my left hip at this point) is still acting up the pain did not keep me awake all night.
Since I chose not to do my KB workouts on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to give my back/hip a chance to recover, I [...]

I am getting really tired of this bad back. No workout today. I don’t know about tomorrow. I will go to my Crossfit on Friday, if only to walk through the workout.
I had a really restless night last night so I am hoping the exhaustion will set in tonight and I [...]

No workout this morning. I just could not make myself go. My back is way out of wack. It has not been this bad for a long time. It’s helping with my eating because I actually have lost my appetite because of the pain. The pain pills that normally help are [...]

Although my back is still hurting I went to Crossfit. Worked hard and had a good time but had to really go slow and light with my back acting up. I find that when my back is acting up I have to move slower and slower in order to keep going at all. [...]

My back was so bad that I skipped my free Crossfit on Saturday morning.
On Sunday Debbie, Mom and I went to Columbus for a family get together. It was nice to see everyone again. We were out in the country and the weather was perfect and I ate a lot of [...]
