Frequent updates? Go figure...

I'm fully aware of my promise to my non-existent readers to give more frequent updates about my life and all the wonderful things I've been trying to do to improve it. Well, life always like to throw little speed bumps at you frequently and shortly after writing my last post my back decided that it could take no more torture from my work get-up that it basically had a sprain (and right after a post about posture, oh the irony). So for the last few weeks I've been bed-ridden and doing a minimum at work to ensure that my back takes a speedy recovery, and so far it hasn't been so bad.

Of course, I wouldn't be posting anything without a life lesson. I might be out of practice, but I am still working on posture and my next lesson goes hand-in-hand with it.

Life Lesson #2: Walking.

One of the recommendations to help my back heal faster was to walk. Nothing too extreme because then I would be causing more problems. Light walking was all I needed, but now that my back is feeling okay, I'm definitely up for keeping up the workouts because I haven't been keeping active enough lately. I've been having some trouble lately with losing and keeping weight off, I had lost about 20lbs and managed to keep it off until this past year at school. I'm pretty sure the reason that I've put it on is mostly because of my crappy diet that I was following (hint; it consisted mostly of white pasta).
To start with the walking process, I've been trying to walk out from work which is about a 15-20 minute walk. I'm just trying to ease into this because I do a fair amount of walking at work, including wearing crappy, crappy shoes, which helps nothing. So with the work walking and at work walking plus any little walks that I can do while at home definitely help. My cardio is just terrible because of my weight gain. I might end up scheduling walks for when I get back to school...

To be honest, I'm not sure what else to say. So this will be it for today.
