I think I over did it :(

Rest up and repair your body ..the cleaning will still be there tomorrow hope you feel better tomorrow

Pain means your exercises work! Sorry you have to suffer, but the good thing is that now you know for sure what is good and what's bad for you. I always say that a treadmill is just a warm up solution, not for long-term exercises. Get well, Smick and I am sure you will feel better tomorrow, just make sure you do some light exercise (stretching) to eliminate that pain (I know that sounds contradictory but post-exercise pain goes away the next day if you do some light gymnastics over it)

oh dear !! SO sorry to hear this, nothing {besides birth pain } is as bad as a lower back strain for sure !!..not just painful but frustrating too, especially when one needs to clean the house and has a schedule planned , it becomes a mind game, I agree with Shelly , the house work can wait, a little longer, a water bottle or hot ,or cold pack works wonders on the lower back ,relaxes the muscles ,especially when u sleeping, and when you sitting doing your assignment, but must agree with Kate, stretching is the best way to recover quicker without anymore injury ,I would like to recommend sciatic stretches too you, they work wonders for lumber /lower back muscle, or nerve injury..... Just a small tip about the treadmill work out that I learned from Pilates , I am doing incline intervals, for cardio ,fat loss on my treadmill, and I naturally have weak lower back muscles, due to my lovely "muffin top " so I find that when I am on an incline I SUCK MY TUMMY IN while doing it.. and it helps strengthen my core and stabilizes my lower back, WHICH PREVENTS INJURY, it just keeps you centred ...All the best, may you recover soon , and keep going you doing so well , GO ..GO ..GOAL !!.. Take care ..

Hope you get better soon keep up with your awesome weight loss efforts

Hi Smick, how are you ??

Hi Leigh.
I've been pretty blah.
My back pain left me almost motionless till yesterday. I was on some pretty hard core pain killers so no Duromine for me. This week has been a write off as far as diet and exercise. I am dreading hopping on the scales this morning.
Good news is the pain is going away. Yesterday I was almost back to normal. Deciding if I should start taking the D again or keep off it for another 10 days so I can do my blood tests. Decisions..... Decisions. Will probably keep taking the D. I'm not doing great without it. Next 10 minutes will tell. I'm about to hop on the scales.

Yikes!
Put back on the weight I lost last week. Back to 105.4.
Back on the D for now.
At least I will be able to do some exercise. Just will try not to over do it this time.
