Day 9 AM

Today is day 9 of my 40 days - 40 carbs - 40 prayers.

Weight: 163 pounds
BFI: 28.0%

Hit a speed bump in the diet. No, I didn't cheat. Although I had a dream last night where I ate a lot. Started with candy, and then moved into chips. I also had a great big fluffy biscuit with gravy. However, all that was just a dream.

No, the speed bump I encountered was yesterday while working out. I have a few work-out DVDs. Nothing fancy, I got them at the dollar store. The one I was doing yesterday was low-impact aerobics. I was in the middle of "grape vine" when I felt something give in my back. Right now it's not serious. Just a tender spot halfway down my spine, but not something I want to mess with. So I am taking a couple of days off of anything that complex.

I did learn that I can jog in place as long as I keep my arms close to my sides. I am going to try stepping this morning, but even that might be more than I want to mess with. This set back certainly makes the ab routine I had scheduled for today more difficult.

Wish me luck-
