Working Through Pain

For the last three years I have been dealing with chronic mechanical back pain that has given me good months and bad months; months where I am doing a pretty good job of healing and getting stronger, followed by a month or two of terrible almost incapacitating pain. It's really frustrating -- but I am still moving as much as I can. This is shaping up to be a good month -- lots of extra walking along the Rilliato River and I have added a longer bike ride. Averaging about 3 miles a day walking every day and about 4 miles a few times a week on biking. Starting a Whole 30 paleo food transition -- it's time for me and my sugar monster to part ways, and I am hoping it will also help to lower inflammation in my back. Change is good.
