So I'm not one to complain, but I've had issues with my lower back for a very long time. I think it may have been something that happened in gymnastics when I was about 8 that has permanently damaged me. Im not sure what it is but for some reason I have a bad lower back. Hopefully its just because I am weak sauce and need to have more ab strength, however it might not be and could be something relatively dangerous if I dont take proper care of it.
My lower back started hurting on friday and got much worse after my workout on saturday. Sunday is my off day so i had a rest and it seemed to get a bit better, hopefully that means that its a muscle thing and I just need to take extra care of it. As well I've started wearing shoes, although my shoes are starting to fall apart. They can't handle the INSANITY. (Take that Nike) So we'll see what happens. For now I have forgone most of the jumping exercises. I do what I can keeping proper posture but once I feel the pain, I stop and replace the exercise with a squat that is as close to the exercise as possible. I know I will not get the same effect as if I was doing the full exercise, but for some reason I find that my back is a little more important.
I dont know if I can handle another week of this. The diet is killing me. I think I need to change it up. I've all but eliminated my sugar intake, except for the recovery drink and the protein shake, which is great because now I get hungry every 2 hours, my metabolism has sky rocketed, however now my food bill has gone through the roof. All for health. Maybe health is a corporate conspiracy to sell more vegetables. Who knows?
Anyway here are my week 1 photos: I dont see much of a difference, other than there is a smirk on my face.
