Well, today my back is in severe pain. Maybe it’s from walking funny for 3 miles yesterday to compensate for the “stitch” in my hip from trying to run the day before. I’m still 199 pounds, which is like trying to run while carrying a 50-pound bag of dog food! I’m sure I’ll be able to do it when I’ve reached my goal of 149. It was just too soon to start trying. I’m completely taking the day off of walking today. I had my husband rub 2.32% Voltaren (double strength, which we order from Canada) on my lower back this morning, and then I went back to bed until 9am. Now, I’m sitting in my recliner with the heating pad on my back. I’m still being productive by listening to motivational recordings. I’m having mainly Protein Shakes to eat today, to make up for the 700 calories I’ll not burn while walking 6 miles. I feel good about my choices for the day.

That sounds really painful. I feel this on so many levels.
Although the heat feels better, ice is better for the inflammation that is making your back hurt.
I hope you have a speedy recovery! 💚

Alternate heat and cold on your back, this is advise a chiropractor gave my daughter in law. She swears by it.

I hope your back and hip are better soon. Since I haven't been around for a while, I read your journals to catch up. You have picked an ambitious number to try to be to by Aug 16th, so I was considering where I would like to be by then. Of course, even if we don't make a particular number even getting close would be wonderful for each of us. I've had to slow down these last 3 months due to my heart but I did a 3 day sardine fast advocated by Dr. Boz to get started. The sardines are not enjoyable, but tolerable with mustard. Now I am trying to have sardines for brunch and a regular dinner. I've cut out wine and have been having dessert about once a week since Christmas. It's only with the sardines I've started losing.
