Day 32

Ended first month of journey at 337 down about 17 lbs from Jan 1.  A good start to a long project.  I am particularly pleased with continued progress in spite of the challenges.  Falling down stairs & having to reduce excercise component slowed progress but did not halt it.

Ankle finally feeling better, only aches if I am on it all day.  I found I had to take a few days where I stayed almost completely off of it.  

Was planning to start again today.  But managed to pull something in my back last night.  Very sore & don't think swinging weight will help.  Will focus on stretches and isometric tensing of core.

I have found that by tensing my stomach muscles the back does not hurt as much.  Fo figure.

I have a pressing deadline for work in morning so I have to go to office & work today.  Will try to get up & walk around a bit every few minutes to keep from stiffening up.  

Looking forward to continuing progress in February.

Flexing your stomach tightens your core which is around your spine so probably helps. Nice job on the 337. Especially since you were on a plateau with your Advocare and had already lost a bunch. You do that for a couple more months and people will not recognize you.
