Achilles Back

Daily Journal, 2/20/14

I have been focused and working hard towards some big fitness goals. Then my back pain doubled, and a new pain in my foot showed up.

So... I'm feeling defeated. I have put so much effort into a healthy lifestyle and it still feels like my goals are just as far out of my reach as they were back when I first started this journey over a year ago.

My lovely partner is being as supportive as she can; she assures me that I look healthier than ever, and yet I still feel like a rotting sack of shit.

So I need to take a small step back on the fitness goals. I might not be running marathons or climbing mountains this summer, but I can still clean-up a few dietary loose ends and place all my physical energy towards reducing lower back pain in a different way.

I have been doing this foam-rolling exercise once a day for the past month, and it helps.


I will keep that routine going but I will do it twice a day; once in the morning and once before going to bed. I will follow that routine with yoga poses that specifically target the lower back area.

Starting tonight.

Wish me luck, because if it doesn't work, I will scorch the fucking earth with pacifist rage.

i.e. Facebook debates on yahoo news articles.
