After so many years of being fixated on my weight, I’m working diligently to emphasize non-scale victories. Victories such as walking more – getting “all green” yesterday on my FitBit. Going to PT and my back pain being better. Wearing a size smaller clothing now than I did in December. Being able to go to the park and walk 3 or more miles without being too tired. Taking care of the dogs and the chickens. Keeping household chores such as laundry, making the bed, dishes reasonably done. Cooking most meals at home. Attending church and Bible study regularly.

(A few hours later) I went to physical therapy today for my lower back pain. Yesterday, the physical therapy helped and I felt great. Today, I can hardly move. Just standing is so painful, I can hardly make myself to do. I can’t sit in my recliner – I have to recline it all the way back so I’m almost lying flat, and then it is bearable although still painful. I’m awaiting a phone call from the on-call doctor. I need some relief. PT was terrible. He had me do 30 bridges. When I did the first one, it HURT. Still, I guess I figured he knew what he was doing. So I soldiered on and did all thirty. I should’ve refused. Hindsight is 20/20. This is some pretty bad pain. I’m so tired of being sick or in pain. I will say it again – 2015 sucks! Just my own personal opinion.
