Have you exercised today?

Good luck NSR. Sitting in cars is the worst for my back too.

I’ve been doing modified planks consistently every morning now as part of my daily routine & I took a short leisurely walk today for the first time in a week. There’s a little snow on the ground, so I wanted to take advantage of getting all that sunlight in my eyes & on my face.

Ooo yeah , that vitamin D boost ! Sometimes in the winter I find a sunny spot against a wall and just kind of hang out there like a lizard , soaking it up .

Today my back is in pretty good shape and I actually drove 1-2 hours for work ( I have to travel to various sites during the week ) . Dare I hope ?

I'm going to ease off of walking during the week . There's a real possibility that whatever stress I'm putting on my back and hip during the workday is being made worse by walking a couple hours on top of it . It doesn't hurt to walk but I'm trying a few different routines and seeing what the results are . I didn't walk much last weekend and the Wednesday drive wasn't nearly as bad as it usually is . Could be a fluke but fingers are crossed .

I felt angry earlier, so I channeled that energy into going for a walk & doing two sets of planks. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t have done as much. Might as well get some benefit being motivated by it.
