It has now been almost two and a half months since I gained employment!
I'm trying not to count my chickens before they hatch. I'm on to my second week of my second month of working out. My general back pain has decreased, thanks to the exercise, and to a supplement that was recommended by a friend. That being said, I still have to be careful of what I do, because it can be very easy to hurt my back (or my foot as the case was last week).
For some inexplicable reason, I have always had a hard time maintaining an exercise regime. I don't know why in my earlier years that I had this problem, and I wish that I had worked through it then so it wouldn't affect me so much today.
