Now my back is hurting allot. I do not know why. My leg had been getting much better. However, it has been hurting allot too. Coincidence? Arthritis? Old age?

I have walked a total of 279 steps, a new record breaking low for me. I would like to think this is in error, but it probably is not. Embaressing. Anyway, there was obviously no exercise that was done today. This makes my target of 2099 calories. I have consumed 2039 calories. I have one banana left to eat that I have included in my food diary.

I have had arthritis flare up in the past, but it has went away for a very long time, like most of my life. Well the pain I felt today is like the arthritic pain that I had in the past. This is particularly true of my knee. I hope this does not keep me from exercising once again.

PS The trail mix that I made up tastes very good and is addicting. Every time I go into my kitchen, I find myself taking another handful. Over the past few days, the amount left has been getting noticeably lower and lower. I need to fill up part of a measuring cup and then eat this through the day. Once it is empty, no more eating this for the rest of the day.
