Greetings all! As of this morning I have officially lost 41.5 pounds 
This triumph is bittersweet because I know the last five’ish pounds included some muscle mass. If you haven’t read this blog before I should explain that I have suffered from chronic back pain since the year 2000. I’ve recently educated myself and subscribed to the Lose The Back Pain system which is reversing the damage I’ve inflicted upon my back and hips. The system prescribes that I suspend all other exercise regimen in order to isolate the problem. I’ve been hitting the gym and running religiously over the past five months so I knew I’d lose some muscle, but don’t get me wrong. Trading a little muscle mass for relief from my excruciating and debilitating back pain is completely worth it!
